Amazing music! I liked the concept of "scary" karts. I really was scared at the beginning of the level))

I loved the VHS look! creepy game, I like that you combined two genres that never go together.
Interesting game idea. I don't really see how this ties into the theme of "Joined Together" The visual style was interesting. Loved the guitar at the end
Thanks for playing! "Alarmhead" is a game that I've developed a few months ago, and recently I'm scheduling to start developing the sequel "Alarmhead 2". This kart game was kinda of a test project that I had a chance to make, thanks to GMTK Jam, and I've used a few models that may be present on the sequel for the main series. And about the ending, I've never thought about the fact that they're kinda ''joining'' at it, which proves that this game can have many interpretations.
You can sprint?!?! I just learned that from reading the other comments... I was able to beat it anyway, but it was pretty hard. The key was waiting for the cars to turn the corners to run past them.
Fantastic job with the effects and horror vibe! Also I thought the startup screen with just the blue color and sound playing was kinda long.
I don't know if this game fits the theme exactly but i did find it entertaining and loved the look of it. Also see the 1977 movie "The Car"
Nice and simple game. Took a while to figure out that sprinting was essential for the game play. Feedback for it is that if you need sprinting and there is no stamina bar or something, just remove the sprint and make the player faster. Having to keep pressing a button while playing is not challenging, but annoying. The feeling of the game was nice and creepy which I like.
Maybe a point of harsh feedback, objectively this game is just a basic first person game where you touch an object and the game ends. Sadly there is only one level and would be interesting to see how you would experiment with your current mechanics. First level was also quite hard as a first level, but it helped with setting the creepy feeling.
Thank you for you feedback! And yeah, I wanted to bring that ''cursed tape'' vibe to the game, and add a little bit of comedy with the karts, and since the jam is about things ''joined together'' it worked pretty well on the theme, plus, I wanted to test some other things, which ended up on this kinda retro vhs style game. And since it's a jam, I did it as a short game, so everyone should manage to finish it at time. Thanks for playing!
Love the style, but I am confused as to how it fits the theme of "joined together?"
