Overtake

In the far future, admidst the computer-racing field remains one, traditional high-stakes, dangerous competition: Overtake, an illegal spaceway racing tournament with only a few rules:

Follow the route
No AI assistance in driving
The race ends once a racer finishes
Weapons can only be fired after a certain designated point on the track
Only one ship allowed throughout the competition. Once it's totalled, you're eliminated.

Can you maneuver through the twisty turns, space debris, and fellow aggressive competitors and claim the top place in the podium?

CONTROLS
L/R - Move ship up/down
U/D - Speed up/Slow down

ADDITIONAL NOTES
Just a prototype. If things go well, I might actually make this into a complex game.

I'm planning to have a relaxed update schedule with this one.

Ver. list
0.1:Prototype
0.1.1:Added a simple dumb opponent with simple dumb AI
0.1.2:Added AI states

New Ver. 0.1.3:
+Added new ship.

*AI tweaked a bit
*Display tweaked

Currently working on collision detection, opponent AI, and the tool used to make the racetracks.

NOTE: As you can see in the game files, there are ship designs still unused, and I'm not sure what to do with some of them, If you want, feel free to present a ship design of your own, and I *might* add it on the game.

Nice spaceships, BTW :)

Thanks! I planned to have more-than-usual focus on the graphics to make the ships look "cool" as much as possible, since many cars in racing games have amazing designs, as well as having much spacey stuff. It's quite hard working with a 16x16 canvas.

Well, i have little graphic or musical creative talent, so i always enjoys others who do :)
