Godlike game. my review

A great kart racer build with extra weird. Great work no notes.

A 90s retro type horror racing game. There's nothing bad to say at all about this game. Whoever thought of this cool way of playing a game  is a genius. I gotta check and see what other games you guys create. 

Amazing game! I honestly can't say anything except, thank you for making this masterpiece!

Hi, do you have an email I can use to send monetization proposal? (No Ads or anything like it). 

Nightmare Kart? More like Dream Come True Kart! PlayStation really missed out on coming up with this idea in the 90’s, a game like this would have instantly become a classic! Excited to see what LWMedia comes up with next!

Loved this game from start to finish, it was a real treat and honestly could not get enough! Wish there was online play but still thank you to everyone who worked on this amazing game and really hoping Bloodborne one day can come to PC bc man I would love to replay it again! Thanks again!

amazing

hey, isn't there an action to do to enter the last level of the game?
I feel like I'm missing a hidden boss ...

This game was so amazing. I can tell so much hard work went into it. It plays very well, the controller support is a god send, the mechanics are fun to use and are so satisfying. I didnt get far in blood borne but I feel like there are so many cheeky references too, which I think comes from a dev that is deeply involved in the community.
This game should be worth some money, make sure to tip the creator. 


(It may be beyond the scope of the project, but I would really love some multiplayer in this game. I feel like kicking my friends asses at this would be such a great experience)

There is local multiplayer!

Local Multiplayer is available. If you want online, you could use something like parsec or steam. I hope she adds a way to queue multiple races so I don't have to set the settings each time I want to play with friends.

I didn't even know about that option, thanks for letting me know. I'll take a look into it!

does anyone know how to connect a ps4 controller to this game and the other 'Nightborn" game

Awesome game, just beat it for the first time. Some things I noticed that could hopefully be included in a patch:

  • If you exit the Accessibility menu and then try to re-open it, it won't work unless you exit back to the title screen then return to the options menu.
  • There doesn't seem to be any rubber-banding at all. When I was doing well in race, I felt like I was never challenged once I made it far enough ahead. Similarly, when I was losing, I felt like there was no chance of recovery and eventually would resort to restarting the entire match.
  • How tf do you escape Galaxy's End? Mario has ways to avoid the blue shell, for example. Including this in AI races feels a little cruel, I'd understand if it was relegated for multiplayer matches only.

DAMN THIS IS AMAZING. no words,this game is amazing!!!! Uploaded The Father Gregory boss fight on my Yt(I'm not a big channel or anything but I felt like uploading some gameplay of the game to my channel just because haha,will upload more bosses )AMAZING GAMEEEEEE

Bug(s)?:

  • On level 2, Miralodia Expressway, driving backwards will spawn the beast immediately. 
  •  Chipper Chain Wheels have no effect on this beast.
  •  Shooting it enough will cause it to stagger and fall with the Visceral button prompt, but you seem to be unable to use a Visceral Boost on it.

A few others, unrelated to level 2:
(Note: This is on Keyboard with default controls.)

  •  Pressing the pause button (ESC) while the pause menu is open will cause it to close, and reopen almost immediately after. This sticks out, as the pause button usually just closes/returns to the previous menu.
  • Pressing the Use Power Up button whilst one is cycling through items will cause it to stop, and give you the result instantly. (This seems intended but potentially obscure, so I thought I might mention it, just in case.)
  •  In the button rebinding menu, both Power Brake and Look Back seem to be unrebindable. After prompting for a button to bind to, it continually displays "...", even after pressing something.
  •  Additionally, as others have noticed, the Default button doesn't seem to do anything in the rebind menu, either.
  • Attempting to rebind an action to Numpad 5 without having Num Lock enabled will cause the control to be bound to "None."
 In general, the settings menu seems to be a little bit inconsistent. Audio settings will be retained, even if you close and reopen the game, but Rebinds and certain settings in the Graphics menu, don't. Notably,
  • "Start game in Fullscreen" seems to always act as if it is set to Yes.
  • Resolution seems to reset to the default value.
  • Rebinds will be reset, as well.
  • The accessibility menu is inaccessible whilst in a race, while the Rebinds are inaccessible in the menus.
  • The FPS Cap seems to change depending on when and where you open the Graphics menu. For example, the main menu displays a FPS Cap of 30. Going into a race, and then looking at the settings again, the FPS Cap will now display 20.

For those who are still having trouble, here are two videos showing how to get all the Moon Shards and how to beat the final boss and get the true ending of Nightmare Kart. 

so cool!!

never heard and never played bloodborne so i dont know what it's about the game, but goddamn this is really well made, thankyou for making such a wonderful piece of artwork

(+1)

Thank you so much for this Lilith. The world just needed this game to exist, but you've gone the extra mile to deliver this fantastic piece. I just beat it once, and couldn't stop laughing and grinning the whole way through. Congrats to you and everyone who helped create this monumental shitpost fangame original game ! I can't wait to play it with my best friend with whom we bonded over Bloodborne.

P.S: Surprisingly, I think the re-branding into a bootleg variant is actually funnier and even more enjoyable than if it were really BBkart. The last-minute changes to actually dodge legal issues are too hilarious to me, I mean seriously the birdcage lmao

I'm absolutely loving the game so far, and I was looking to play it as multiplayer but I cannot seem to get different inputs to register as separate players. Is this something yall know how to fix or does this need to be patched in

My husband Sandwichard had a great time playing Nightmare Kart last night! He was looking forward to this for a while and had a lot of fun! HAPPY PRIDE 🏳️‍🌈 

Can’t seem to launch the game… It shows NMKART.exe in task manager but it’s barely using any memory and CPU. Is this normal?

(+1)

sorry! Looks like I just had to wait a while for it to open

(-1)

thank you so much, please make an Android port too

how do you play with a controller, it skips half of the options, and the turning is the same as the camera?

(2 edits)

Made an account for this, didn't know where else to report bugs. 

Button rebinding seems to be very broken for me :(

pictured- binding like 8 buttons to drift.


Trying to rebind just adds another key, I haven't found a way to remove the old binding. This does effect gameplay, not just menu. (LB and RB now both use powerup, LB no longer drifts)

Default button does nothing. Confirm also does nothing. 

My buttons are all mixed up and I don't know how to fix it :(

Same thing happened to me, if you go over the key bind and hit right itll highlight your x and if you click enter a few times it makes it blank again.

Ohhhhhh I was wondering what that x was, didn't realize I could highlight it. Thanks!

Despite the PS1 style graphics, I imagine there isn't currently plans for a version I can run outside of Windows? Free is awesome and certainly won't complain, but wouldn't mind putting this on my Android gaming device, a Retroid 3+. Be it a PS1 file or a native Android version.

One bug I have noticed (in the steam release at least) is that during campaign mode if you skip through the end of race stats you will only gain the insight, and not the droplets that you earned during the race. Other unlocks seem to be working. I have had to force myself to wait it out now as I am not sure if they do anything and I didn't get any for like 7 campaign missions due to skipping the results too quickly.

Aside from that and some minor things like getting stuck in weird places that were often my fault, the game is a blast so far.

Damn, the game was really good! 

Great game! One bug I've found though (On the current Steam release) is that the paintball cheat code is able to be entered but doesn't seem to do anything.

Hey, nice to see the game out of Steam jail. I just got it on there.


While this doesn't really matter, I thought I'd report that the dialogue options box for walking way from the watchers right the start of a campaign when you say "Yes" or "No" seems kind of broken and you can only barely see the other option.


I'm guessing that's why it has a scroll bar on the side and for a one off joke it functions fine but I thought I'd mention it since I'm not sure this is intentional.

Also:

The key rebind doesn't seem to allow me to change a and d for turning, nor does clicking default actually reset things to the default, and I didn't need to click confirm to actually have my changes go through either.

It also doesn't seem to save my changes now either, so I'm just stuck with a fucked up control scheme in the middle of being changed and it always defaults back to the broken one when starting up the game again.

Kind of wish rebinding was available from the title screen for single player too.

In the forbidden forest course I keep finding new places to get stuck in.



Interesting this seems to show that the speed is an object in game? Since the ground is covering it.

Also multiple times on the jump pad section, I've clipped and seen the AI clip through the specific jump where you need to make a left turn after landing, the one that takes you out of the jump pad. Just clipping through the wall after failing to make the turn. Though at least that isn't race ending.


On Outsiders Manor, for the jump pad that ends the lap, it seems excessvely punishing to miss the jump (especially if you end up hitting the railing and falling off) or be hit out of it by something like Galaxy's End. It's tends to result in ending up more than one full lap backwards. I kind of wish it'd just re-spawn you like if you fell out of bounds in that case.

In the credits, I had the X to boost button prompt show up on the results screen.

And when selecting a kart on the campain I noticed it seems like weight gets cut off a bit? It's not a big deal but it seems like it'd be better off a bit higher up?


For the final battle, the whole insight draining mechanic has the issue of causing your insight to go over 40 if you exit the course after losing once, and the mechanic itself seems pointless when you get reset to the start of the fight anyway after losing.


None of this is really a big deal (minus the controls binding issues anyway, I would also like it if binding look back and power break worke, it seems kind of weird it's on the controls binding screen) but felt I should mention everything I find.

Загалом доволі непогано.

Just want to say awesome game 

So how do you get the fodder character back on the racer select screen? They disappeared when I started unlocking other racers.
