I think there's a really good game idea here, unfortunately I couldn't find it. The controls were difficult to manage and it felt like the car was either turning not at all or too much. The game was really cryptic as well. Did the guys with guns kill me because I accidentally hit them? I'm pretty sure I didn't. Was it because I didn't have a New Id? No, I had one. I think with some work you could have a really fun, interesting game here,  unfortunately I don't think it's there yet.

Thank you so much for your feedback! You indeed got shot by the guards if you get too close to them or hit them directly. We apologize with the clumsy movement, we struggled a lot doing it right and ran out of time to polish it. Glad to hear you find the idea interesting!

Pretty cool game but needs a lot of polishing. The UI isn't amazing and  sound/particle effects are missing. I do understand you only had 48 hours so I guess with a bit more time it could've turn out great. It was also hard for me to understand the goal of your game so I would recommend at least adding a voice/text explaining the goal of the game and how to play for future projects. Now the theme, I would guess there is one :) should also have been better presented and explained because it was really hard for me to find it ; one shop ? one car ? Overall, a game with potential but only needs a litle more time for polishing the graphics, etc. Good luck with future projects :)

Thanks for your review!

Yup, we might update it to have a better description after the evaluation phase hehe. We tried to explain it on the store page to help with a little hehe. 

As for the theme, we thought about having only one life in the arbitrary city (that's why we randomize stuff around it), only having the health and money you have on your hand (without recharging it), you have a single way to pass the checkpoint without dying.
