Simple, yet well-executed. As someone who is very much into racing, I am used to trying to take the same line every lap. It was really hard to fight this instinct, so as not to collide with the ghosts. :D

Really chill and fun game! Ghosts are a nice addition! Well done!
The game looks great! Maybe consider adding a few elements to enhance the sense of speed — like camera shake or motion trails behind the character.
It’s a solid little game, well done!
I love the graphics, and the movement feels very smooth and natural. Great job!
Lots of fun! I think the idea is executed really well, and the game is charming. I like the pace at which the difficulty scales and I think you did a great job with your audio! If you're looking for any notes, I think the track visuals need to be modified slightly. Either to be less transparent, or to have an outline or more noise in their texture to make the road just a little easier to see.
Great job! One of the most fun loop racers I have tried in this jam
I got the score 132!
The bloom made it a LITTLE hard to see the fish, but I loved the loop... of playing the race. The voice over is so cute, by the way!
Very nice and fun game. Maybe make the road more visible, but apart from that, it's great.
The graphics are very cute! Interesting concept and nice sound effects! I got a high score of 20! The controls were a bit slidey but the game was still fun to play!
Nice game, enjoyed the difficulty ramping with each ghost (though I kept crossing the line in a similar spot so all my ghosts were clumped together!). Found the track a little bit difficult to see/interpret where I'm heading, I went straight off the side the first few attempts
I quite enjoyed the speedy racing you could end up doing in this game. Only thing to improve would be the fish and ghosts are quite hard to hit given that both the player and the pickups are small. The camera was well done too given the unusual geometry you are playing on.
Wow, I am surprised at how much I enjoyed this! Initially seems unassuming but the stacking of tutorial prompts and layering of speed and ghosts ramps things up in a really nice progressive way. I enjoyed how the mobius strip (seemed to) have some implications for gravity, and the camera movement with it as well. As a thought for how to expand - could you somehow have ghosts serve as obstacles in future loops? Or knock them off their looping for points? Very nicely done!
