The gameplay is really fun! Is actually quite hilarious but educational at the same time, I could see this little game being taken further easily! Such a great idea and excellent implementation. The music was on point and the sound design was crisp!
Wonderful! I love how this game is very "unusual" - like I don't know if I've seen many or even any such retro-style racing games, and not only is it unusual, it's also beautifully made. And, most importantly - a ton of fun to play. I just knew, as soon as 30 seconds had passed with it, that I will spend quite some time reaching a good distance. xD
The audio is very fitting. It gives tempo and ambience without being frustrating and annoying.
I'm really trying here guys, but I can't really seem to find anything I don't like with the game.
Sadly, during my best run, the game simply froze. :<
Thank you so much! I'm happy you liked it (despite the freeze 😖). Your "Vasa La Vista" was really great!
awesome game! the graphics are cool and the controls are smooth, played this many times and I am highly satisfied by the experience, congratulations! keep it up!
Thank you so much!
Ha! Love this -and love the historical fact behind this!
That was really fun!! Simply amazing game. I tried to cheat by driving in the edge of the road but failed lol. The next city is so far away. Great job.
The best part is the five lane horse carriage highway. Germany was really ahead of its time :)
Really good old school racer - I appear to be a better driver in this old car that in one of Outrun's sports cars LOL.
The road was pretty busy too - everyone was out in their car to see Bertha.
Great graphics, perfect fake 3D effect although - you don't have to steer to get around the corners - might want to take a look at that.
Terrific effort!
Thank you for playing! The steering around corners was on my TODO list, unfortunately I couldn't get it done in time 😑
Fun casual game, i liked it!
I tried this game when it was just uploaded and said to myself that I'd come back to rate it later. It gave me a good chuckle with the high speed chariots lol, and so it was quite memorable. Really nails the Outrun feel. I liked it a lot. :)
Thank you! I'm glad you liked it. I tried the historically accurate top speed of 16 km/h for the car but that wasn't quite as action packed as I wanted :D
