Took me a minute to wrap my brain around that spinning screen.   But, once a got the hang of it, i liked it!  I hope that pooping becomes a crucial game mechanic.

Also, i do enjoy that this is a multiplayer-on-same-keyboard game.  I'm making one too!  Most people don't like them, but it's a lost art i say.

Wild! I don't really know what's happening with the spinning screen; nice clouds and animation.

Thanks you guys, I do hope pooping becomes crucial too! 
Yup, the screen spinning effect can be a bit confusing at first, I might remove it of give people the option to have it if it becomes a big deal for people.
Anyhoo, here's Prototype 2: http://www.box.net/shared/ado8ra3q61

Thanks, Greender. I really like the visuals, specially the clouds, too.

Super cool AI!

That is pretty awesome, the controls are very difficult to get used to (I got stuck in corners a lot on demo 3), but I really like the graphical style. Great work so far.

[LiquidAsh]

I found the spinning screen VERY confusing.  It's an interesting graphic style you've chosen though.  Best.

[MegaLeon]

I demand a speed boost when you poop on people. NOW.

[tipp]

Thanks people for the lovely comments!
@Cthulhu32:
Yes, I think it's more of the view of the game than the controls that is the problem.

@LiquidAsh:
Yes, I think I'll add an option to have the screen like that.

MegaLeon:
In time, young padawan, in time.

Good lord that screen spinning is hard to get used to. It's really interesting so far though.

[tipp]

Why thank you, Melly! I love interesting!
Oh, and here are some screens of how it looks so far:

[Melly]

Is that freaking three player I'm seeing there?

[tipp]

Yes, Melly, that is 3 player!
And after a long time of listening to "Baker Street" and "ABC" I now have the finished product available for download here!

[oyog]

That was awesome.


I've gotta try this with friends and beer.

[frederiksen]

very nice, love the effects and animations. But you can fly out the top and thus just avoid the hardest obstacles.

[ThetaGames]

Nice game - I like the multiplayer aspect.  However, I found it rather difficult to control, and lost often. 

Did you compose the music?  I especially liked the track that plays when the race is over.
