Really good graphics. Simple yet totally appropriate. Sweet explosions and much juice. Very good entry. Top art marks!

Game Description
You get one try to get past the enemies - see if you have the reaction time! (Hint: you probably don't.)
How does your game tie into the theme?
Even the slightest bump from a road barrier will knock you into the air and destroy you.

This is the most beautiful game i played so far, I love the art work.
A large canvas could help to see what is coming in front
Absolutely nailed the retro theme! I liked that all the obstacles didn't just come from the front. Short but complete/polished game. :)
The art and music are really good! If you could add some non negative interactions for variety (maybe a "fragile" shield powerup that can stand 1 hit, or some jumps) I think it'll be a nice game particularly on mobile since it'd be 100% playable with touch controls.
It was a bit hard for me. I think having a wider view would have made it easier, or maybe having everything start slower and speed up as time goes on. The pixel art was so cute that I wanted to keep playing though! Also a nice touch with the spinning intro text.
I wasn't sure if anyone would notice the text was meant to look like it was ramming into the car and flying off the screen after wiping out. :P Thanks for the feedback! One thing to note is that it _does_ start off slower and speeds up over time, but only at a tremendously slow rate, probably not even noticeable. Essentially it goes up .001 units per frame, which despite having a ton of frames going, is incredibly slow, so in other words it seems to start off too fast for a lot of people. I intend to fix that in the rewrite!
Excellent pixel art and sound. Had a bit of a laugh at the death animation :p
Excellent sound and graphics for the play of this one! Very satisfying. I could use more reaction time personally, but I think that would take away from its 'fragile' aspect.
Cool game! I liked the overall game feel: the gameplay, graphics and audio come together very well. Should've taken the hint about my reaction time. Somehow got 1080 on my first attempt (beginner's luck?), and couldn't cross that in the next 6 or 7 attempts. The game makes you want to give it just "one more attempt". I liked the variation between front (more reaction space/time) and rear (special indicator) collisions. It was really satisfying to avoid a barrier and have another car crash into it and topple :)
It was really fun to play it, i thought everything was okay after avoiding all the obstacles in front of me only to get hit from behind by a car kkk
Very good job - graphics , sound and animations - very cool
Really like the games. I love the music and the graphics. I feel younger, playing at the arcade.
I gave up quickly :)
It has a nice art style and a minimalist UI (good thing).
Fun game!I like the art, the cars are really nice. I got 1810 pts.
