The contest is almost over, so here are some more! Sorry if I copied anyone's ideas.

Game is shaping up really nicely. Only crappy thing are explosions, they look too unrealistic and weird, especially in second race. One question, as Mountain Sheep is working on this, could firing button become stick (or can we have setting for it) so you could control shooting direction. It would be interesting to have dual stick racing game?
Interesting idea about dual-sick racer. I think that would dramatically change the overall game though, breaking its classic remake appeal. It might be interesting to have an unlockable car that has this feature though, like maybe a hummer or some type of tank. Maybe this could be an entirely new game mode as well.
It's the last chance to submit your achievement ideas for the competition! ojtitus was asking if the game is universal or not. We are not 100% decided yet on this matter. What would you players want to see, should we go universal or not? Universal build would have a bigger filesize but other than that it doesn't have many negative sides. It was a bit too difficult to play when the right stick was used like in a dual-stick shooter The game was built on top of the Minigore engine so it used to have the firing direction on the right stick when we started doing it. For that same reason at one point the cars had John Gore's hands! It was like an official Pixar video game Moving cannon is a nice idea for an update, maybe a tank or something similar that the expert players can use. The explosions have received some extra love since that GDC build and we're still pushing forward to get everything as polished as possible It would be nice to have some tiny flying sparks here as well:
Rage Quit: Quit the race in the last lap while at last place. Epic Fail: Place last in 10 races in a row. Close Call: Place 1st while beating 2nd place by less than 0.03 (or however much sounds reasonable) seconds. Maybe Next Time: Place 2nd while losing to 1st place by less than 0.03 (or however much sounds reasonable) seconds. Bumper Cars: Bump into every car on the track in 10 races. Death Conqueror: Complete career mode(?) without dying once. Death Bringer: Complete career mode(?) while destroying every car in every race. Death God: Unlock every other achievement in the game.
I am about spent on my achievement ideas. I think I listed over 20, but I will try to think of a few more. +1 for a universal version. Currently I do not have an iPad, but I do foresee one in my future and my wife will be getting one. Size is not really much of an issue for me either. Any word on pricing yet? Will it be discounted at launch and then go up?
Sticks and Stones - knock somebody off the track/ make them crash without using guns in a country level Dark Knighted - knock somebody off the track/ make them crash without using guns in a city level (if only there was a grapple hook) Rally the Dead - Kill every car on the track in 10 races
*Untitled Achievement* - Win the race while going in the wrong direction (as in go the wrong way, and do the certain amount of laps the wrong way before the computers actually win).
Sitting Duck - stop during the race, face the "wrong" direction, and blow the crap out of the oncoming cars when they come past on their next lap.
PLEASE don't use this achievement! Online games are bad enough for quitters, without encouraging them! Jeepers, why on earth would you want that in a game!?
