Needs work

Although you have a brilliant idea, the game is dragged down by the bad graphics, controls, and numerous glitches in it. Instead of ripping the graphics strait from Mark Overmans game, you should take them, revamp them, and then put them in there. Plus, instead of having four bad graphics for each character (up, left, down, right) I reccomend just having one really good graphic for each character and rotating it to face the direction you are moving.

Even though you say "changing the controls would make me lose my mind" I'm losing MY mind trying to use them. It isn't the buttons on the keyboard you picked, so much as it is the sensitivity of the left and right turning. My suggestion: make the turning half as sensitive.

The enemy AI does work, but it seems to function with a complete disregard for the walls. The other players are zooming straight through the poorly srited walls without stopping, while I am stuck bouncing off them like a Mexican Jumping Bean!

It also needs some sort of point system: you get 100 points for first, 50 points for second, ect. That way after the last track you could go to a highscore table instead of showing an unsightly error message.

There is little diversity in terms of characters, and no matter what is picked at the beggining you always wind up as Pacman. You should have at least twice as many characters to succesfully call it a racing game. That way you could throw in a bit of excitement by only picking a random 4 characters from the at least 8 that should be choosable. Also, each character should have its own pros and cons, and maybe a special attack. For instance the plane could have good turning and average speed, while the marble could have excellent speed and poor turning.

All in all, just fix a few glitches, improve the graphics, and this could be a Staff Pick!
