Checkpoint Chaser is a 2D top-down casual racing game, featuring cars that can jump and drift yet have no brakes!
This is a simple game, with short tracks to race on and bots to compete with. Additionally, you can use the same device to compete with your friend via local multiplayer.
I made this game because my favorite game by Gameloft became heavy reliant on paying 2 win.
Ha, yes, once I found it. And that documentation is good.
Even with that information, it took a bit of searching to find it (the gear icon looks like an enemy from Xevious, it’s usage not what I expected). It’s more logical to place the question mark icon (or an “i”) on the editor screen, so the information is close at hand, so to speak, and just one click away.
A new bot system, now bots can go multiple paths instead of one path by using ray casts to detect an approachable node.
Thank you so much, @Keith_1357 and @MrMen, for the help with ray casts.
A new look and keyboard navigation system. The UI theme is now better and has been changed to be more usable. The level editor is much better, and the built-in documentation has been stylized to identify headers and make it more readable. The UI is accessible using keyboard (I only need to improve it because it doesn’t iterate between elements in an expected way).
Improved Accessibility options. The highlight player option now uses a better thickness for outlining the player to ensure that people with poor vision are able to see the player. Not only that, but highlighting the road makes the road brighter, and with the dim background option activated, it makes the road very visible.
The list above lists some notable features, not all of them.
I have been working on this game for more than 9 months.
This release will be the biggest release yet…
It will take a long time until it is finished.
My studies are slowing me down regarding development.
Notable changes:
Drifting
New transitions and animations
Results page overhaul
Results system rewrite
Wrong direction warning (Needs extra bit of work for false positives)
Track thumbnail
Best time for track
Records list for track
Better camera
Minor control tweaks
Minor bot tweaks.
Many Minor QoL (Quality of Life) tweaks
Too much bug fixes to the point I gave up listing them all
Not all of them are laggy i tested the levels (btw i love it! remember me the one who asked if u can make a replica of fc?) and all the ones before tough road to finish is not laggy for me, idk about the levels after that tho.
Awesome, I am working on a new mini update with performance improvements, as for now, try downloading the game, it will run faster than using gd games or itch io web version.
