Good job on diminishing returns acceleration curve. One thing that score system really needs - decimal scoring (shown only after you crash). Right now there are 25,000 plays and bulk of scores are in 600-1100 range. A single number (ie 839) may be attained by dozens of people. One or two decimal spaces would be great. You chose to use rather small score unit, you could as well just multiply speed score by 100. Ie. you won't start at 100 but at 10,000 (speed immersion remaining the same, just score system is more accurate)

Sorry for posting a second comment, but I just realized if you put the sensitivity high enough, you can turn right around. Im not sure if its a glich or if you meant to do that, but you should look into it..
Still 5/5 though
XD

I think its the best of its genre. Just needs some sort of a new mode. 5/5 faved, can't wait to see the further updates!

Once at the beginning of the level, before I get to a speed of 100 there was an obstacle in my way. D: I lost before I had control.
I know :) I wasn't serious - I am addressing the start speed issue but it's taking a little while as I'm trying to make it fair to everyone, which requires a little rejigging of the high score system.

I hate this game now.
It was so much more fun when you competed and started at the last multiple of 100.
Now I have to restart at 100 each time.
The entire reason you could change speed was because people didn't like having to start at 100.
This game went from 4/5 to 5/5 to 3/5.

Whoa... on 11 sensitivity, you can turn around, and if you turn around, then turn around again, it's different... Uh...

The starting speed of 100 is a little off putting, I personally feel that I enjoyed the 100 by 100 gameplay because it made it possible to reach higher speeds without going through the first 500 slightly boring speeds. If you do decide to keep the start at 100, please reset the leaderboards even though I am near the top 100 -_-. I must say about the overlapping problem, you have reduced it significantly, however I still saw a red wall which I passed through with no problem. Keep up the good work
I'm working on a fix that should please everyone for the starting speed issue. The next version will reset the high score table anyway. Also thanks for the comment on the overlapping issue, I am aware of one thing I didn't fix on the previous version that I'll try and address for 1.0.13 :)

been playin since day one, all these upgrades now. I mean come on! PRETTY COLORS WHEN YOU GET TO THE NEXT HUNDRED? THIS SHIT IS EPIC!

i love that i have no idea what to expect when i revisit this game! i like how this game is turning out. i have been playing this since the beggining and i really like all of these updates! maybe add some more game modes next update?
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
The updates are great, but again there is a shadowy side...
I play the game every day for like 30/50 min, and i got in the top 200 (without hoax)
but, (now here is the issue) the thing i less like is the fact that i will start with 100 again.
I think, 'when u get a decent speed, it should be rewarded', just that startingspeed button.
can u plz return it? :)

I like the simplicity of the game. Its good for both relaxed players and the more hardcore players. I also like that it displays your rank while you play so that you can see where you stand without having to remember a whole lot of numbers to shoot for.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
probaly the most addictive game ive ever played 5\5 but i would like a button that shows you your place on the leaderboard straight away
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
I've followed this game since it started, and I surely like where it's going :D. Can't wait till you add more obstacles :3 The thing is, I think the scores need to be reseted now you cant start from a certain x00 anymore (hundred).

After your comment, Tenebrous, I had a flashback from Epic Coaster. Hmm, continuously swelling noise, "bang" after reaching another 100, explosion of colours, flashes etc. This would be really strange. So strange, that it would perfectly fit to "ZEN/psychedelic" mode. It's hard to wait for another update - it's like waiting for Christmas lol
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Hah, nice one robinhio :D
Btw: with all this new effects I'm non-stop looking at my score and thinking "another hundred is coming, 5 seconds to flash... 3... 2...1.. weeeeee". That's strange, I know. I had a bad day.
Light blue/cyan effect looks best, what do you think?
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Brilliant game. It'd be hilarious and nifty if there was a psychedelic setting. Many many colors, I'd get lost inside of this game.
The concept is simple, and very worthwhile. Just a tip for everyone, if you can, don't use a trackpad for this.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
I don't really like the new thing where you don't choose your starting speed at all in challenge. That gave the game a kind of progression. Now it just feels like a minigame. Could you, perhaps, go back to the old thing, but have a SUPER-challenge mode where you start at 100 and have a separate scoreboard for that?
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
the highscores are impossible i tried practice a couple of times at 1500 and didn't make it for 5 secs how could they possibly reach 3000 or more. Or maybe it's such a good game even god plays it :p
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Geez, BucuMihai, suddenly dropping score to 1/5 because it's impossible to use imbalanced option in ranking game looks... strange, let's say strange.
Now we need a great purge in high scores - burn them all to the ground with no mercy and let new top players rise!
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
i dono why but i'l change that 1 to 3 till you get that back into the game ...
i realy like the fact that you're reading all the comments =]
I totally agree! This was the first step towards fixing some game play issues, I'm sorry that it was just a stepping stone but there's better coming, I promise :)
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
geezuz ... i told you it's anoying to start @ 100 every god damn time and now you put a " practice " thing in that won't save my score ! THATS BS ! 1/5

TO DEVELOPER
there are 8 people that are exactly at 1500 score...i wonder if someone is cheating, also 5 days ago the record was 900 now is 3000.you know you can hide the score inside the RAM? create 8 variables, everytime speed is to be increased by one you add one to 2 of those variables, the sum of 4 variables give the real speed/score ( you only execute the sum actively everyframe to print it on screen and when pc send score data to internet), the other 4 are unused.that way the real speed/score never exists in the ram as a variable and can't be tracked by cheaters. you may also keep game time and refuse games like "speed 3000 duration 1 second".
It's not supposed to actually flash, just er... throb every 100 speed... if you're having issues you can turn off the image effects in the options :) - actually I think I've just nailed this down to an old graphics mode issue, which I can fix :) - AND FIXED! Will be in 1.0.13...

Wow. I had 3 day downtime in my internet connection and I play this game today... :O This clearly deserves main monthly prize. It may be the best looking game on Kongregate so far, especially the HDR-ish effect. Also the concept while simple as hell is working wonderfully. Last game with such intense speed immersion I played was propably Star Wars Racer from 1999.

i glitched through the wall and kept going for a looonnng time, then giant words poped up on the screen "NO ESCAPING" ._. im afraid

Sorry for the double post, but I would also suggere that you put fun comments when you crash, like : "118 : Wow. Did you do this on purpose ?" or " 2546 : You're hacking, right ? You're not fooling me ;P "

Now we're talkin! Starting from zero (or 100) is the way to go. Enjoying things much more again. Those escalating start speeds were murdering all of the initial fun I had upon discovering this game. Endurance should be the key. Good work on this update. If this is the direction the game is headed, I'll follow where ever it may go.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Well, it indeed is a great game and the developer(s) sure deserve a 5/5 !!! By the way, how many of you are working on this project ? I also have a suggestion to make : adding Easter Eggs ! Easter eggs make games way more fun and you can play for hours trying to find them !
Thank you for having created this awesome game ^^

Great with the color effects. Now I don't need the drugs any more. Glad I set my high score before the game was split into a practice and a challenge mode, because I don't think I'm ever going to be able to go from 100 to 1200 in one go.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
now the problem arise that there is many peoples with a big score due to the start at the last 100 multiple that most likely will never be beaten with starting at 100. i got a high score of 1286 but now i can only reach 900s. maybe reseting the high scores is in order?
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
in practice mode speed selection should be capped at 1500 but max speed should still be infinite
(i know we anit gona go much faster than that but still!)
sorry for dubble post and thanks! =)
