Ghost Racing

GHOST RACING

This is a simple racing game where the opponent is you from the past -- your best run so far to be exact.

The idea for that game was created originally for the Trijam #258 with theme Right Behind You but in the end the scope was far too big and so I just decided to chill and finish it whenever.

Additionally I wanted to play around with the ghost logic that must do exactly the same steps as your best run so far.

Inspirations:

• Any racing game that has a ghost in it (duh)
• DSJ 2000 for it's artstyle and sounds - at least in the beginning. It is so hard to be persistent and hold to exactly laid pixelart design

Controls:

• WASD or ARROWS to change the lane
• R to restart the current race

Track objects:

• Tree - well, you hit it, you stop. Simple as.
• Puddle - it slows you down
• Powerup - it speeds you up
