Tinker Racers

È esattamente ciò che ci si aspetterebbe: grafica e ambientazioni estremamente piacevoli, curva di apprendimento nulla (collega il controller e gioca), immancabili e giusti scleri occasionali perché ti tamponano, tanti tracciati che variano quanto serve e, sorprendentemente, il livello di sfida è bilanciato molto bene. La musica può stufare, ma basta mettere la propria di sfondo o qualche podcast. Peccato per il menu senza italiano e tutte le altre lingue, ma è così minimale non ci si fa nemmeno caso. Decisamente consigliato, anche perché è quasi sempre scontato.

Because of low price, it can be considered a somewhat good game. However, the menu is really bugged. Once you get past it, you can play anyway. Seeing a developer team leave their game in such a state tells us much about their devotion : none. Campaign is short, some mechanics are under used. Still really fun for ONE hour at 4 going through the campaign. A difficulty slider, doing the race in forward and reverse and some other effects and options would have been easy and would have added much play value to that abandoned game. Avoid Rumbora in the Future.

This is a fun game to play with friends, overall it is quite clunky but with the right group, you'll have a blast. Easily worth the $1 I paid for it! Just don't expect much, play for the wildness.

Tinker Racers, Next Penelope, and Ultimate Racing 2D are very similar: - Tinker & Penepole can both have up to 4 Local Players - Tinker has way better graphics but Penelope has shooting. - Ultimate Racing 2D can have up to 8 players, has lots of tracks, and lets you manually choose and add any track you want. Ultimate also has an insane amount of options such as Horizontal Split, Vertical Split, changing grid position (manually or sort them by last race result, fastest lap, championship standings or reverse grid), # of cars, # of laps, weather, etc. Rain makes for great drifting! All in all, I think Ultimate Racing 2D is the best of the three.

I was trying to relive my childhood, looking for a Micro Machines clone. During that endeavor I made the mistake of purchasing "Tinker Racers", a hasitly thrown together dumpster fire of code, a collection of software defects so vile and blatant that it would make every Junior programmer want to disappear from the face of the earth out of sheer embarassement. Tinker Racers achieves the seemingly impossible: To have a starting screen so broken and defective it crashes usually every other time any input is made. It also achieves the admirable feat to severely lag in said starting screen despite having plentiful resources available. What a marvel of engineering! Who exactly, is what I'm wondering about, through it acceptable to have a game crash before even playing the first seconds? Who made the call to ship this monumental software turd even though the dumbest of testers must have known how disgustingly shoddy it is? Devs, you cannot claim ignorance here. This is malice. It is deliberate. It is a premeditated software crime that you have commited, a crime against humanity. The only developers with the same level of incompetence/malice are those of "Ark: Survival Evolved" which also achieve frequent crashes in the spash screens. But let me be frank and ask a honest question to you. Please think clearly before you answer. My question is this: Do you have no shame at all? Is this not something that bothers you at night? That makes you rethink your life choices? Is this "product" not haunting you in your nightmares? This monstrosity you have helped bring to life? Because, honestly, it should. It really effing should.

MicroMachine-like. Je déteste tailler les jeux indé, je trouve que c'est insultant pour les développeurs, qui souvent ont mis tout leur amour et leur dévotion dans leur bébé, sacrifiant des années de travail et de vie de famille afin de créer LEUR jeu, celui de leur rêve, le jeu de leur coeur. En plus ça me rappelle lorsque je faisais des concerts de punk avec une guitare accordée à l'envers, et ce public qui ne comprenait pas mon art. Bon faut dire que moi non plus je ne comprenais pas trop, la faute à la bava', j'étais persuadé d'être dans le bon accordage pourtant. Bref... Tinker Racers, vous l'avez compris, c'est pas terrible. Non, c'est nul à chier, j'ose le dire, pardon aux familles. En vrac: 18 circuits seulement dans 3 environnements seulement 1h15 pour finir la campagne. Quelques autre modes de jeu mais rien de marquant. Collisions horribles qui fait qu'on ne contrôle rien. IA ultra agressive qui fait que, avec les collisions sus-nommées, font qu'on ne contrôle rien. Respawn complètement débile qui fait qu'on commence et on meurt directement sans rien pouvoir faire. Menu complètement buggé, avec des lags d'1/2 seconde toutes les 1/2 secondes, ce qui fait que parfois, juste lancer une course est un calvaire (i512600kf et RX6800XT pour les curieux). Jeu complètement buggé qui fait que même alt+f4 amène à un message d'erreur... Je suis allé jusqu'au bout parce je voulais voir jusqu'où l'horreur pouvait aller, mais vous l'aurez compris: à éviter.
