Delinon's Cheese-Race
a DevLog
Delinon’s Cheese-Race is an arcade chaos-racing game where runners tumble and roll downhill after a racing cheese wheel.
The player will need to navigate and jump over obstacles and other runners in order to be the winner.

– Racing against the remaining characters and other NPCs (farmers, town’s guards and a moustached villain)
– The ability to steer and jump
– Basic obstacles: dirt mounds, dirt ruts carved by fallen runners
– The ability to fall
– Stopping the runner if they’re running out of bounds
– Jumping over a fallen runner’s dirt ruts give a short boost
