Accelerator - My first (mostly complete) Unity game!

Here it is: Accelerator.

The idea is to go as fast as possible - try and get a place among the top 10 fastest players!

Put your name in at the top before you play.

ALL comments will be very gratefully received, and thank you for taking the time to have a look at it.

All the best,
Tene

Please report any bugs!

1.0.12:
... lots of stuff changed and fixed, lol

 

yay. I made it at 477( and top 10, # 10). Great game! Ambient music is great!

 

that was, FUN! i love the idea!

 

Nice game, super psychedelic i felt like I was having an acid trip or something and falling down an infinite shaft. When it started getting fast and there was a lot of forks in the road it got choppy and got me killed :*( I enjoyed it though

 

Awesome nice little game

 

top 8 lul

 

nicely done.

 

i love it!

 

The atmosphere of the game is wonderful, really enjoyable, although I do wish that there was a better sound effect for when you completely crash, maybe a small particle effect as well. All of the sound effects were awesome up until I died, I just felt like there was no climax. Other then that though I dug the game.

 

aaah, awesome, so close to top 10.

 

This game is awesome, the atmosphere is spot on, with a tiny bit of polish this could be a great iPad game.

 

That was extremely fun!
Simple gameplay, yet so addictive with the leaderboard.
I made it to the top ten

 

This is great! Funny you should make this when I was just wishing there would be a remake of the old game Interphase and this is much like the connecting bit between levels in Interphase, good memories

 

Brilliantly executed, if only I made it into the top ten

 

Yes first place im so happy

 

You should track more than just the top 10.

 

Awesome game, but I found out that if you just turn around, you can go back out and exit the pipes, then just follow them. I tried to get a really high score but the game crashed at like 500 points.

 

looks awesome but is laggy on my crap machine =(

 

Fun, but can't really play it long... makes me dizzy. (not motion sick though)

Could be pretty fun with a mobile device.

 

hmmm odd doesnt make me dizzy

 

Was shooting for 1337 =/

 

You can also exit on the pipes that are missing some of the walls, but it just kept getting slower and slower until I had to restart the browser. Is this some kind of anti-cheat?

 

Firstly, thank you all for the very positive comments, and I really appreciate you all having a look at it

Ugh, sorry about that! I will work on performance but generally it's pretty nippy on a reasonable-spec machine now

I just overlooked this, so thanks for mentioning it, will add ASAP

Ooooh I loved Interphase! It brings to mind several old games from the ZX Spectrum too, like 3D Tunnel.

Yep, great idea - the server is already storing all the scores, I'm just not showing them in-game - will add this ASAP!

Yeah, I definitely have to do more to stop you 'escaping'. If you get out of the tubes it stops destroying the old ones, but keeps generating more, so yeah it will get slow and crash

A lot of people have an issue with fast-moving images on the screen, my gf gets motion sickness from playing it

Aw, CarbonTech took that privilege lol.

I don't have a Mac nor the iOS license, so I can't make versions for iOS - but I agree that it would be awesome on mobile devices! Would you control it via tilt do you think? Or by touching the screen? I think touching the screen would be awkward because then you wouldn't really be able to see where you were going as well, with your finger in the way

 

Very simple, but effective gameplay. I love it

 

I've put together a very similar test game a couple of months ago. Tilting the device to move is down right awkward. Touch would still be the best idea.

 

Nicely done. Simple, yet effective. My only issue is that I have no idea how big my craft (or whatever), is. Having some sort of indication of that would make it a lot better. I assume it's first-person, so maybe a translucent front of a ship, giving a hint.

 

i'm in top 10 \o/

good game you should have an option for mouse sensitivity, i set it max on windows, but it still wasnt enough for some turns

 

Great game i remember playing a similar game on android.

 

This one is great! I'm pretty sure you could sell it later to kinda space combat pilots for training reflexes. The music is also great.

I feel rememberd to Redcube (game) and Tron (Film) cos of it's "designed" speed...

Stand Alone Version would be really appreciated by me.

Edit wanna say something more: I would love the possibility to invert mouse updown.

Uhhh shut up edit! Last one: I would really love adjustable mouse sensitivity. Me for myself I'm a "shortway mouser"... lol

 

God is a cheater too, he is a friend of mine, he made that before the new version

maybe you want to reset the fastest players list

 

I've er, 'edited' the list, lol... anyone else want to own up? Haha

 

Hello again

I've uploaded a new version with some updates, thanks for all the suggestions so far!

Here's the original post with the change list.

 

Wonderful, now my ONLY complaint is you need a model for the character, it just being a ball looks really unfinished. Really just having a simple space ship, or rag doll human would due just fine. It doesn't have to be detailed, just something more then a gray ball.

Edit: I know I said that was my only complaint but the big read wall following you should probably just be white or black just so it keeps the simplistic color scheme in tact

 

Agree on both points Will update soon!

 

i have two thoughts about the new version:

- waay too many slowmo-blue-tunnel, it makes the game a little booring
- you removed the "too close to wall" sound effect! why? i liked it! especially when the speed is low, so i entertain myself with traveling near the wall

 

Agree about the slowmo blue tunnel, it needs more obstacles and not to be as long

I had to remove the sound effect because it was occurring at inappropriate times lol - I will add it back when I fix the bugs

 

Great, plus some graphics it will be excellent game, I like idea so much ッ

 

Reminds me of missle3D which was a good game. This takes it to a level of fantastic. Great job. I don't have any suggestions .

 

Love it. Also like the ability to see more score. Would like a button that goes right to the top scores so you don't have to hit the previous key all the time if you get a low score, though =)

 

This game is such a waste of time........


(That's a compliment)

 

Updated again! See here!

 

I see you're in a good position to win both the weekly and monthly comps on Kongregate with twice as many plays as the second place. Well deserved if you ask me.

Polish this baby up and you'll stay on top. Add achievements. The people on Kongregate are all about their achievements.

 

Thanks very much!

Actually I found out yesterday a condition on winning the monthly prize is supporting the Kongregate API - so I'll have to do this anyway. Well statistics at the very least

 

cool you should definitively port this to iOS and android I can see this working really well with the accelerometer as control input. I would buy it for 79 cents

 

OMG!!!!! i love it!!!!!!!! i would acctually pay for this!!!!!

 

Well I'm accepting donations, lol

 

Very good work Tenebrous!
I love it, I used to play a game like this a while ago it's awesome!

 

I just wanted to thank Mitch for his excellent Kongregate tutorial on how to add their API, it's really easy but he's made it even easier by writing a tutorial . Definitely check it out if you're looking at Kongregate!
