Description

EPILEPSY WARNING: One of the effects in the game can create a rainbow strobing effect. Please be careful if you're prone to seizures. Shortly after the competition I will have an in-game toggle to turn this off. Unfortunately, that didn't make it in in time for the deadline.

About:

  • Race throughout the underground grotto, pitted against two other mushroom characters.
  • Master your momentum with a 360° platforming engine!
  • Picking up glowing mushrooms gives you two effects - a positive and negative - which make getting to the finish line more of a challenge! Each effect is random, good luck!
  • Collecting multiple glowing mushrooms in short succession will add a multiplier to the effects of the power-ups and power-downs.
  • Do a shroom dance to 9 original songs.
  • Procedurally generated platforms, decorations, and competitors for a different experience each run!
  • Platforms will fade over time, as competitors use them. Keep up with the bunch to avoid getting stuck behind!
  • 40 hours of development were streamed live on Twitch, here! Check out the VODs to see exactly how this was made!
  • Note: To race again after completion, hit the R key (or restart the game)! A new map with new characters and music will be dynamically generated each round!

Controls:

  • Move: WASD or Arrows (Left or Right)
  • Jump: Spacebar
  • R: Reset the race

Summary

TRIP is praised for its impressive art, music, and creative use of the jam theme, delivering a fun and engaging platforming experience. Players appreciate the procedural generation, AI racers, and polished presentation achieved within the 48-hour timeframe. However, some feedback points out bugs, occasional platforming control issues, and the rapid, sometimes confusing side effect changes. Suggestions include longer levels, more consistent side effect durations, and improved race reset mechanics.
