The potential for frustration due to death by slight grazes is offset by a generous checkpoint system. Good move on that! I would have liked a clearer "you win" screen at the end.

Very polished game, felt like I was playing a fully finished game until I got to the end and I wasn't sure if I won or lost. Music and assets are very groovy and sound effects fitted the game wonderfully!

Thank you very much.
The end was a case of too less time left... One hour more and we would have made a proper ending, maybe with an explosion or so :D 

But what is a game jam where you are able to finish everything.

Incredible UI! And well done for creating such a polished game in 48 hours. The only thing is that the jump is kind of hilariously ridiculous, and perhaps the game's relation to the theme is a bit tenuous. Other than that great work!

Thanks for the feedback! We tinkered with the controls a lot and in the end just kind of went what we came up with. That also applies to the hilarious jump mechanic. We had also planned a lot more crazy features to better fit the "Out of control" theme, but had to cut a lot due to the 48 hour time span.

That was some serious suspension! All jokes aside amazing atmosphere and environment and once the control were adapted to it was pretty engaging as well!

So I guess I've won? This ending and the controls felt a bit cluncky, but the scenery was great! I found the Gamejam billboards a nice addition!

Yeah, we run out of time to make a proper ending, which is really sad...

Regarding the clunky controls. They should have been a little more cluncky inspired by the theme, but maybe we just got used to them and accepted them as they are. Thanks for the feedback.

Fun game! The car was very slidey, but fun. I loved the art and aesthetic! I got to the end??? but the car just got stuck and nothing happened. Nicely done!

Yeah, that's the end of the game. One hour more time and the ending would have been better. But what would a game jam be without some unfinished parts 🙈

the game feels great but I can't seem to get over the other cars, at least I think that's what I need to do? there's a part quite close to the start where you use a ramp and the only way past the cars is the ramp (from what I can see) and I couldn't jump high enough to get over it. I may just be being daft. anyway, the game looks great and I love the hectic feel of the car. awesome visuals and camera motion! well done!

We didn't put a proper tutorial in the game due to running out of time, but you can jump with the spacebar (or A button on XBox). I think that should help you get through the level However, not having a tutorial is still bad.

oh dang, I didn't know, still never the less this could be something really fun to play with just a little polish, you should be proud you did all this in just 48hrs!

I was looking for a speed button, and then the car jumped, I was not expecting that. :) I liked the obstacles, but I found the car a bit hard to control

Thanks for your feedback.

Yeah, we had some ideas on the list that didn't make it into the game. Like the car getting faster and faster during the run, but that was scrapped due to running out of time...

We also did not explain the controls very well in the game which resulted in some people not finding out that they could jump. No time to make a proper tutorial...

Really like this! Most 3D jam games feel weird and unfinished, but this looks and feels nice. Also, the music is great!

Thank you Mark for trying our game!

Thank you very much. We really put focus on finishing the game, but that also meant that we had to throw away some of the planned features. But yeah, better have a finished game than some glitchy, buggy and weird looking mess :D (not pointing at any other game out there)

Great job! The graphics and controls with the car are definitely a unique take on the theme. :)

Weird obstacles, fun game to play.

Nice and weird graphics! The controls are a bit dodgy. I would expect to go straight after a while, when I'm not steering. It took me some time to figure out that you could jump.

Thank you very much for your feedback. 
Unfortunately, we didn't had the time to get the tutorial part into the game... It is mentioned on the website, but I know that only a few people will read the info there...
