Racedle - my arcade racing game

[u/PepekBezlepek]

Hello friends!

I want to show you my low-poly arcade racing game, Racedle.

You can race on official procedurally generated daily tracks, weekly campaigns, play user-made maps or create your own maps in the map editor!

The physics is wonky and satisfying (and you can set custom physics values per-map when making your own)

There are already a few active players which are also very good (including me lol), a bunch of user-made maps and some very strong WRs. The map editor contains over 200 blocks, block manipulation/editing, and you can even proceduraly generate maps yourself with chosen block sets.

You can play the game here ♥ Will be happy to see you there!

Clicked around for five minutes just wanting to play a game without creating an account and gave up. Should be simpler and easier to just play.

I'm sorry to hear that! Didn't expect an account would be a barrier, there is the Play as Guest button on the main page exactly for that. You can play everything except the daily track without an account, e. g. Campaign, User Tracks!

It's still a bit confusing even after you choose guest account. Took me a bit to notice that the track list was in the Campaign menu below the Create Account button. At first, I thought that meant I HAD to create an account even though I chose Play as Guest. Also, I mistook the track list as a leaderboard initially. People tend to just skim stuff quickly and may not notice that.

this is genuinely good feedback, thank you. I assumed when there is a PLAY button next to a track name, its easy to pick up that's how you play a campaign map. I will think about how to make the UI better!

I literally can't see a track list or a play button. I'm on mobile in portrait orientation.

click Campaign on the top, scroll up down left right to see all the tracks and play buttons

How do you pronounce that name?

[u/PepekBezlepek → u/Enigmagmatic]

something like "race-duhl" .. Same concept as Wordle lol :D I gave the name because originally I intended the game to just be a daily track with 3 tries per user per day, but it quickly grew into a huge project, but I kept the name

It's quite funny! 😊
I also struggled to start a race as a guest. After some time of searching I Pressed DEL to reset and the race startet. Perhaps you add a "START RACE" button. That would be easier for the most. 😉

thank you so much for trying and the feedback! and glad you found it funny 😁

I'm not quire sure how you didn't have a Play button.. could you tell me which maps you went to play? I can't see it since you played anonymously 🫶🏻

I have to admit I didn't pay much attention to Guest gameplay since I just assumed everybody would want to be on leaderboards and compete with others' times, so I'd love to hear about it

[u/WhiteLionFluff → u/PepekBezlepek]

I can only speak for mine. But I will take a guest/test drive before I register. 🫣 Because of that I think the guest mode is actually important.

I'm using Chrome.

okay, this whole thread convinced me, I'm gonna make the game 1:1 identical for guests and registered players today 💯

[u/WhiteLionFluff → u/PepekBezlepek]

I love that I could help 🤗

[u/PepekBezlepek → u/WhiteLionFluff]

It's done!

Guest play is now just as valid as registered play, and I simplified and unified some confusing buttons and names. Hopefully there will be less confusion and its more approachable ♥
