fun game, like race the sun (and other such games). Not sure if I like that you can choose your speed, but not a problem as it isn't a mechanics round :)

Glad you enjoyed it! Race the Sun was my primary inspiration, so I'm very happy to see that mentioned!
OK! So I installed Firefox and it was a much smoother experience. I also don't know why on stream I thought we had to go incredibly fast. Probably just being competitive. This morning I played and dialed way back on my speed (I'm not sure how I didn't realize you could decelerate) and it was a blast!
If anything, I would suggest you clamp the top speed to a level that's intense but still playable, instead of letting it get up to something that's going to be uncontrollable. Not that mechanics and gameplay are part of the rating this time. But I had a lot more fun when I mellowed out on the speed, but I also think most people will tend to push it speed wise.
Glad to hear you were able to get a smoother experience, and that you enjoyed it! I also definitely agree on the point about speed, especially after seeing yours and other feedback. I think I may tinker with either the top speed or the density of obstacles, likely both, to make it a bit more balanced.

I always love any kind of feedback, even if not directly related to the theme so I appreciate it! The drift mechanic is a neat idea; if I make it to round 2 I will see if I can come up with some sort of extra movement mechanic to add a bit of depth to the gameplay.
Thank you for playing, glad you enjoyed it! I'm planning to build on this if I make it to round 2, hopefully building on some of the story too if it fits in the theme of the round. Thank you also for the feedback, I might consider adding something like a small outline to the obstacles, just so they're easier to see.

Thank you for playing, I'm glad you enjoyed it! I'll have to see if I can make some of the obstacles easier to see because I can definitely see that being a potential annoyance.
