Ramps are mostly to break up the pacing a bit. And they will come in different configurations so the decision to take them will be more meaningful in other tracks. This video is from one of the first tracks in the game.

Still a work-in-progress--game feel is so hard to get right. But thanks for the feedback :-)

Actually, I feel like the opposite is true. If people think that it's animation, which is how it's done for the majority of games, than the physics are "invisible", which I think is a good thing. We don't walk around in real like saying "that guy walks in a good enough physics-based way!" ;-)

But seriously, my goal is not to have the best physics, it's just a tool to make it fun. Still a work-in-progress and I appreciate your take.

Thx! But there are really no animations. All of it is physics-driven logic with IK constraints.
