Dune Rider
I made this game in 10 days for Vim Jam 5. To set some context, you are in a desert with a sandstorm chasing you, and you and three other players (which are bots) are trying to make it to the base. There are 5 levels, although they aren't scaled by difficulty, so you can play them whenever.
Controls:
-A & D or left arrow & right arrow: move left and right
-w or up arrow to get rid of left: right movement
-r: restart
-esc: return to menu
How to play:
-you play as the oval shaped player (the one in the middle of the screen)
-riding dunes give you a speed boost
-follow the dunes for a path to the end
-hitting a wall, pillars, or bricks slows you down
-you naturally slow down (very slowly) due to friction
-get to the end goal (the oasis) to win
Power ups:
-crystal: gives you the ability to boost with space
-backpack: gives you a parachute, increasing acceleration for 4 seconds
-oil can: cover you in oil, which greatly reduces deceleration for 7 seconds
Side notes:
-enemy players are AI and can't be slowed down by obstacles, but also can't get power ups or use dunes, so it isn't rigged
-the sandstorm may take a while to get to you if you run out of speed, so it's best to just restart with r
