What this game still needs...

[REE]

Alright... I feel like this game is lacking some details to really drive it home, and call itself 100% finished..
What I'm missing is...

1. Skidmarks from the tires, which should stay on track. It would look cool, and it would help you on your next run after a crash. Same goes with a little blood decals, and bicycle parts perhaps.

2. Some dust, smoke, dirt kickup from the wheels, I don't feel like those cubes are enough, to let you know, you are on a dirt track. Leaving a small dust trail behind, would really sell the connection to the surface.

3. Loosing his helmet on crashes, it would enhance both the danger and the humor.

4. Replays, highlighting the best parts and the best crashes of the run. camera angles from behind the bike to really show the speed, and intensity, and it would be a great reward to watch, after a run.

5. Some kind of variation to the gameplay and environments. Like, rain, and mud. Ice and snow. Perhaps even run down a active volcano, with lava lakes, and fireballs.. Night races, with only your bike lights to light up the environments.

6. And please make the close to camera trees transparent, or half transparent. It can be really hard to see what's going on sometimes.

7. A little camera shake when you really pick up speed, alongside some wind sound..

Thats my two cents. Really really great game and concept, extremely pretty graphics and style... I just think the game needs these 7 things, to really truely shine! :-)

Thank you for the reply. Yes, I saw the night levels after I wrote this :-)

I am looking forward to see what you will be adding to the game furher down the road :-)

Keep up the good work!

+1 for all of this.

Also, a local multiplayer with/without ghosts would be awesome (i'm thinking trackmania in local, where each player, one at a time, runs against other players' ghosts). It would synergize well with the whole "risky cuts" idea.

This especially would be amazing. Storms with wind pushing you around a bit or large water puddles that have formed after a storm. Ice and snow are also great ideas.

+1 for local multiplayer :)

rain and mud would be cool. less traction and more drifting lol

Also, a filter for bikes, in the rankings ? With "all bikes" by default, of course.

I concur on number 5, a snowy mountain that ends up getting warmer as you go down and end up on a beach, like an endurance mountain that lasts half an hour to get down.

Much like this, without all the other crazy mountain bikers....

Multiplayer is definitely needed for us. We like games like this only in Splitscreen (4player) or online 2-4 players.
