I mean itā€™s still pretty similar.. but I donā€™t mind. Itā€™s your game, you decide what to do with it. ---

27 days in and progress isā€¦ Horrible. Iā€™ve only made one character, I still need a character select screen and player two still canā€™t attack. At least I finished the knockback physics. _18 days remainā€¦_ ---

Thanks, itā€™s just that I donā€™t like copying other people/brocollies/octopuses and I admire your games a lot so mine feels like a rip-off to an awesome game if you know what I mean. ---

I have a driving car and a menu + start screen. I need to work on AI which I suck at and basically everything else. Progress _Poll ([view on site](https://forum.makecode.com/t/announcement-makecode-arcade-sports-jam/43088/171))_ ---

My Strat is everyday I work on one small part of the game and ONLY focusing on that, not popcorning around or smth. Although for me I just have to make 2 attacks for 5 different categories and then at the end I do an ultimate attack or finisher, then I just have to polish up the rest. ---

Iā€™ve still got a few features to add, but a pretty good demo has been created for it! I want to add a car selection menu, a HUD, a nighttime mode (optional, maybe notā€¦) and a proper game over screen (which Iā€™m targeting next!). Honestly, I donā€™t think Iā€™ll come close to winning this jam. Looking at @Octodemon and @CopySprite, I dont have high hopes for my game. But I think I will continue this after Im done! ---

Good point, but honestly I think 3d would be better. 3D gives that actual Mario Kart feel with depth, where you can see the track ahead, rather than just a flat screen where youā€™re constantly fighting ā€œspeed-induced blindnessā€. Plus, Instead of drawing like 10 different angled sprites for a 2D kart, you just make one 3D model and rotate it. Itā€™s actually faster if you donā€™t have insane pixel art skills. ---

I basically am getting there. I just need to finish the lobby and make functions in which a sprite can bounce off another sprite. Speaking of that, can anyone help me figure out how to do that?
