working on some arcade style gameplay similar to classic racing games(super hang on, outrun, road rash, etc.)

As of right now I'm working with the idea that you race on these long single lap tracks, and must collect booze to increase speed/(get power ups?)
However collecting more booze will cause more erratic turns, slower breaks, double vision and blacking out.
 
Here's a screen with some placeholder art,

This already sounds so fun, I can't wait to play it!

WasteDroids is a game about robots who drink and then compete in the sport of DUI RACING.
Enjoy.

So pumped! I can't wait to see what everyone comes up with!

personally I liked the sprite that had less shades, the animation on this new one is much better though.

everything looks so round and alive, love that chubby reaper design!

I dig the color pallet reminds me of Golvellius back on the sega master system. I'd make the shadows more transparent, or at least make the shadows smaller, those dark blacks are a little overpowering. Also make the cave entrance much bigger and noticeable.

more logos please, overload this game with logos everywhere. They all look so fabulous 

The mustache power up thing sounds like a great idea I'll have to put that in the game. Yes, this game was inspired by river city ransom and double dragon. I think segmented mustache bars might work better, I'll edit them a bit. 

 

This is the first run-cycle I've ever felt some satisfaction for. Sorry for the pink background, I have no idea what I'm doing when I export gifs.

The hair should move the same as the hat does. It looks a little strange that only those two points on the hat hop up and down. It would help if the back of her dress also had some motion.

The color choices on this are excellent!

Pretty old WIP that I haven't posted here I don't think.

This is very brutal I love it.

I'm pretty pumped on making something really cute involving this witch.
Feedback is appreciated.

For some reason when I see this it reminds me of Rayman. It sorta looks like a big nose under the hat.

Old sprite of a boss from an old version of an old game I was/might continue working on.

Looks like alien in a grim reaper outfit...
that's AWESOME.

Not that the world needs another one of these...

It's so weird that everyone seems to think that. When I get ideas for metroidvanias I just push them aside thinking that the world is overpopulated with those sort of games, yet whenever I see someone else making a metroidvania I get all excited.

This won't WILL be a game.

 

good god namragog those are beautiful! It's a tie between the second and third ones, they all look great though.
