If you liked this game, try Scriptwelder's "Primal Sands" here on Kongregate: the "repair while you fight" mechanic is similar, but you actually have a top-down 3D view with more freedom of movement.
My biggest turnoff in platformers are chainsaws and spikes. My second biggest turnoff are pretentious proverbs masquerading as philosophy. And maybe I've played to many of these (e.g. by Bart Bonte), but for an out-of-the-box-thinking game, it was fairly predictable.
The camper is a fun vehicle - more challenge than Hard Mode, but it's perfectly possible to do under 1:00 on track 16 in hard mode with the van. If it annoys you, simply turn it off again. I'm just glad I don't have to hit any penguins or haddocks this time! ;-)
The camper van is an evil idea - I love it! It's a fun way to turn that backlog of silver stars into gold. The camper doesn't ever spin out, does it? // I love the weather effects, they look really good!
I still don't know what the "cash" amount at the end of a race is supposed to represent. It would be nice to see a camper there if I've used that car on the race.
For the bronze beater 2 / silver beater 2 awards, since you can't unlock the later levels without making silver or bronze, this comes down to how you do the 16th level, then you get all of these awards pretty much at the same time. If you cut the race calendar in thirds mentally, I'd like to see awards fro completeing teh bronze third all bronze, and the silver third all silver.
Hard Mode. Hilltops aren't as bad as I anticipated -you can't see the road ahead, but the cars on that obscured road are still visible, so that's ok. It's not hard, though: with the fully upgraded Nitro car, I get those red badges the first time I try, making almost the same time that I had before. To get me a real challenge, you'd probably have to either adjust the time goals, or de-upgrade my car.
I've detuned the nitro car, increased the overall difficulty, and added a pause button :)
not uploaded yet.. more to come. Actually I should make those red badges only appear when you get a gold in hard mode.
