This game is really really pretty! I was super confused at first but slowly started to understand the mechanics and it became much more fun, really simple concept but great execution!
Fantastic idea and graphics! Totally deserves to be in the top 100. :)
SUPER SICK!! Great take on the pit stop gameplay! I really enjoyed the art and music choices! I had a couple issues where the brake discs were staying in the world instead of going with the car but it was fun to play around with it because I could throw the tires into them haha, great job on the game!
Awesome game! Love the gameplay, especially the radio. I was a bit surprised to see the car on fire when I first stopped it lol. Amazing work :D
A fun concept with a cool twist being in first person and the radio was a nice touch 👍
Very nice game. I like especially that you can change the soundtrack on the radio :-)
Would need more exercising but seems like i am not the best mechanic. I managed everything but i was way to slow in everything. Anyway, was fun to play!
he went away without his breaking disks! haha!
Yes when i fixed a bug at the last minute i created this brakeìing disk bug haha and now i am stuck with it! it was strange nobody was pointing it out!
Very cool game and great presentation! I didn't really know what was going on at first, and honestly I expected a 2.5D game when first loading in so when I moved the camera around and realized it was first person I was kinda surprised lol. Once I got a hang of the controls and mechanics it was really fun! I think the game goes on for a little bit too long, maybe making it 15 laps instead of 20 would be a bit more engaging. But the mechanics are fun and the decision making is very interesting, the risk/reward element of stopping your car to replace tires or fill it up vs just letting it run one more lap, very neat. Good job!
Super cool and also super polished! Great job :D
Very cool idea, and excellent polish !
Love the feel of the whole experience, the cars speeding by, the radio...
Very well done !
Love the art and the style you went with. The performance was rough on my device, and the motion blur didn't help much either. Still, it's a great idea with nice execution. I have seen other games with similar premise as well, but this one is by far the best with the depth in mechanics and the beautiful visuals.
I would suggest having the report and statistics on the HUD as well for easier management (which may defeat the whole point, so take it with a grain of salt), and an option to turn off the radio would be nice. The VFX work is amazing to see, and the tire deformation is very neat. There's a crucial bug where I couldn't interact with the fuel system after the race started as well, so I couldn't reach the end goal of the game. I'll look forward to when the game is fixed and seeing what victory tastes like!
Interesting idea, well presented. The controls felt a bit overly sensitive to me? It was a bit confusing at first being dropped into the game, the tutorials were helpful but it could have been presented a bit more straightforwardly. The sound effects were a bit annoying at times, especially the beeping and cars going by constantly. Those are small gripes though, overall this game was really impressive. Nice job!
First off, this game is great! it's got a really clean and effective loop, the pressure of the race works really well to get you constantly on edge. I found the motion blur a bit sickening, and at one point I stopped being able to grab the fuel hose, but those are minor bugs that don't count into my rating, just worth considering if you are gonna update the game. Aside from those minor things 10/10 really well presented and fun!
Great game, mechanics, and art design are all top-notch. Good job!
That is an amazing game! I love the music and the graphic are cool! But it seem to be really too hard, every time I got last place because my car was on fire every lap :(
Really nice game!! Very good tutorial. Love the art style and the radio. I learnt how to repair the wheel. And I really like to spray the fuel to others.
Really makes you feel like a one man pitstop team, good job!
(that's some fire resistant driver)
Thoroughly enjoyed the concept and art style
Couple of suggestions:
-I think there should be lug nuts apart of the tire removal process
-could do with some visual UI indicators on the car it self without having to turn around
-Some graphics / settings options
Saw the artwork from day one and thought I'll have to try that one. Really cool art direction. The management is a bit too stressful for me, but it's still such a cool game.

An outstanding and original game that is a genre all its own.. That, or I don't come across that many racing games. Reverse racing? Pit Crew? What would you call it? It is as stunning in its stylized visuals as it is creative. You must work to help your brother win the race.
It's weak point is that it doesn't seem feasible to win. 20 laps where you feel like you're always behind; and the car is always catching fire. I wish I understood a winning strategy, but I wasn't able to find it. What's worse is that the laps didn't seem to count properly at times, leading me to lack confidence in my capacity to compete.
That said, once the bugs are fixed, I want a full version to hit Steam in the near future!

Very fun! I definitely felt the stress of keeping the car going. There were several times where I felt like the laps weren't being counted properly. Also, it seems impossible to keep up with the other cars. I tried several times to optimize my performance, but it didn't seem to make much difference.
Edit: Added another star. While I was disappointed about being unable to progress in skill, or to feel like I could win, I still really enjoyed the game loop. Thanks!

That was a great idea, and well implemented, too! When we watch racing movies or play racing games we tend to see things mostly from the perspective of the driver. Today I got to live my fantasy of being Guido from cars XD
I almost withheld that last star for not adding an extra twist, but heck! I can't think of a single game like this! Your game WAS the twist! Excellent job! Please fix the bugs so I can share this with my friends who are into racing.

Freaking fantastic! What engine did you use? Was it Unreal? Whatever you did, it felt clean, clear, polished, and even stylized! Not only that, but you went the extra mile to make things clear to the player that they needed replaced. The tires looking worn when the car makes a pit stop? *Chef's kiss*
Confirming reviews. I added a star for enjoyment. Details in the original comment.
Also giving you a follow. Outstanding skills!
A lot of great criticism and a lot of compliments Thank you very much <3
