DRAWER Reviews

A fun, interesting concept.

Играл все ночь, проспал работу, меня уволили, а игра кайфовая!

- is bad = is neutral + is good - So first thing I experienced was the horrific GUI, it was really confusing figuring out how to get started, how to start races, and how to pick my car. Later I found out you need to select a map, then go back and pick the car, and then make sure you picked the campaign mode and not just the tutorial levels. I almost quit the game because I thought it was broken. + The actual gameplay as seen by the trailer is pretty unique, and although its a bit tinkery its genuinely fun. - I did crash a few times on the new years maps, i dont know why, it only happened on the last 2 and it happened about 3 times - If you set a sharp turn the car will start driving in circles. = Slender has all the leaderboard records accept for tutorial 1, i have tutorial one. - Many of the earlier maps can be cheesed by driving in between trees, i dont know why more fences werent used. - the game is slightly pricey. + The game features a ton of unique cars that drive very differently + the maps are really fun, and the driving is smooth + Vehicles handle really well, so you don't have to worry about drawing a perfect line. Over all, its easy to look past all of the negatives because this game is unique, your not really going to find another one like it unless you search really hard. Its by no means perfect but for what it is its definitely worth buying.

What a fantastic idea for a racing game, executed really well too. Easy recommendation. I also appreciate the Linux port 🐧

It's a brilliant concept, and very well executed. Even though it is a small game, it is easily worth the small price, especially as there's great potential in the game! I'm excited to finish it off and spend time trying to perfect the courses, and I hope there is more to come with it.

My initial review stated that my antivirus caught this game trying to connect to an external cloud service. As per the developer's reply, the game is attempting to update their leaderboard databas...however...I still think the antivirus getting triggered is an issue because in the 10 years that I've used that software I've never had a false warning. Whether it's just a matter of the website not having the proper security protocols, or something else, it affects the promotion and growth of the game, and I would like to see this game grow. Will gladly change my review to recommended once this is resolved. DISREGARDING ALL OF THAT, I think this game is really cool, can be quite challenging, and has a lot of potential!

Interesting concept, and quite fun to figure out quick paths. However, there is one pretty large issue: the physics aren't deterministic. What this means is, exact paths, and exact same inputs, can lead to different results. This has lead to me being able to get the quickest time on one track by just repeatedly replaying a successful path I had until i got a lucky landing. This has been up to .3-4 of a second, which on some courses is pretty significant to the leader boards. The machines and the levels are generally quite interesting, even some of the more straight line levels have some variations due to road surface and nitrous. Levels are fun to do the intended way, but there are some really awesome thread the needle moments to try and get pretty optimized times by cutting through the boundary forest. You'll notice Slender up there at the top a lot of the time, who seems to have found some skips I can't even figure out or just do them much cleaner. I'd honestly be tempted to try and do a speed run of the game if the physics were more reliable. But they are really are highly variable. Otherwise, it'd probably vary between 2 or 3 hours of playtime if you just want to beat levels, maybe 4 hours for gold all. I'd recommend it, but I hope if they return to this concept, they use deterministic physics, similar to trackmania.
