Nice looking game! Would have liked to see guidance on the goals.

Developer

thanks for the feedback!

To be honest I didn't quite know what to do at the beginning. I would also find it cool if something changed in the next run like the old car still drives the same but it blocks you or you don't get points for doing the same thing.

Developer

thanks for the feedback and ideas!

Cool game! I like the idea of making the end of the course the new beginning. I wish something changed when you completed it so it wasn't just doing the same course back and forth. Great game!

Developer

thanks for the feedback and the idea!

I didn't know what to do when it started ngl, but it's fun when you figure out
Nice work :D

it took me awhile to figure out what i had to do but then i found the game pretty cool

Developer

thank you for the feedback!

Cool idea! The game looks and sounds pretty good, buut it's way too hard for me. :(

One sound was a little annoying - the one when you bump into the obstacles - it's a bit too loud or something.

Developer

yeah, I think that was my electric guitar :-)

Really cool interpretation of the theme.

First I did not know exactly what the goal was and drove straight into the wall xD

Developer

Thank you for the feedback! Yes, a tutorial or at least an animation on the main menu is on my to do list :-)

I like the moving parts of the map being an obstacle that at first doesn't seem too in your way- but as you gain speed it begins to be harder and hard to time when you can "squeeze the gap".  Also, you did a great job with the pixel art, it has a wonderful style and you have a nice little jam going.   Fun game!

The car controls were fun, but the game was really challenging! Unfortunately, my high score was only 4 :( The pixel art and music were both great though, so overall, well done!

Developer

Thanks fazel1275! I'll have another go at getting that fox up in the trees on your game. I think I saw a gif somewhere with some snow that gave me a clue :-)

Really fun game once you get the hang of it! Love the concept, and everything quickly turns to chaos as you try to keep your car alive raking points. Great graphics, music, and polish!

thank you for the great comment!

It controls surprisingly well even at higher speeds, all I would add is a tutorial so players know they have to cross both finish lines to get points

Developer

thanks for the feedback and idea!

Developer

Thank you bullfrog-777!

The pixel art is very good and so does the controls, you did a great job there!
My only feedback would be to make more stuff happen in the game, like some power up or new tracks, as looping around the same map can get a bit repetitive

Developer(+1)

Cool! Thanks for the feedback and ideas!

I didn't expect some kind of racing game for that jam, but it makes sense ^^! Nice and original idea, I liked the simple but interesting controls. Good concept and nice execution, congratulations =)

Developer

Thank you!

Nice sfx and vfx, I like the art they pop good work 


woud you try out mine and rate it according

Developer

Thank you for the feedback!

Pretty solid time!

The art was solid and the theme was implemented simply, but brilliantly!

However, crashing felt a bit too sudden in my opinion. You just get a brief sound effect and can move for a bit, but then it just cuts off and takes you to the menu. Some sort of animation would've made it feel a bit more impactful.

Other than that, simple gameplay and great pixel art makes this game a winner in my opinion!

Developer

Excellent feedback, thank you! Animation is definitely an area I need to work on. I'll add it to the list for the next iteration :-)

This game is low-key very fun to play. The controls are very tight, after a few rounds of playing I got the hang of it. Very unique game.
