I really, really like where Accelerate is going. Note, this is the first time I’ve ever tried to legitimately critique anything, so cut me some slack if my formatting or language use is bad.
SOUNDS
The sounds are solid and easily audible, and the soundtrack is very energetic. Really gets the blood pumping- or should I say, the wheels rolling. However, I imagine the constant “meowing” could grow annoying to some people, however I personally haven’t had any issues with it, more or less a nitpick.
GAMEPLAY
So far, it is solid ground. Mostly consistent steering, drifting, boosting, and items all feel pretty dependable for the most part, with the occasional bug. Though, sometimes the cars feel like they “slide”, even without drifting, which has gotten me caught on a few rocks or offroad areas a few times. Regardless, I feel like the mid-game joining could be improved in some way: joining mid-game to the people already at 5 laps and me at 1 basically guarantees a DNF. I can’t think of anything myself but surely there could be a better middle-ground for mid-game joining?
VISUALS
As with anything Tower Unite, I adore the visuals. I especially love the cheering cat sack/dogs- so cute! The game runs pretty well on lower settings, even when I’m zooming past trees and circling highways.
TLDR
Needs some mild work, but very solid and dependable so far, and a great homage to the thing it’s based on. Great work, Pixeltail! Can’t wait to see what you have planned for this game mode.
