Netsuko (Demo)

In Netsuko, you race inside the mouth of a large creature. The main mechanic is being able to open and close the creature's mouth during the race. You are able to see a lot more of the track and your environment when the mouth is open, but in exchange, the wind drag slows you down. 
The goal of the playtest is mostly to work out if the concept is fun enough for me to continue working on it and involve experienced developers and artists.

*This is a very early demo. I am not a developer, so the only way I could get my idea out at this stage was using OpenAI Codex to develop it for me. This current version took 10 days.*

In the demo:

- Two courses: an easier hilly field, and a more difficult rainy island, with race mode and free roam mode available for both.
- Controller support. Only a Nintendo Switch Pro Controller has been tested so far; other controller types have not been tested. If you use a different controller and experience problems, please let me know. The game is many times more fun with a controller, and I strongly recommend using one.
- Somewhat alien environment with unique plants and animals.
- Title screen and options menu.
- Mouth opening and closing mechanic

Note: This will be used as a demonstration of gameplay and style for reference to show to developers and artists later. I'm not looking to polish this version as it is.
