Artist's Statement
It's been a blast putting this together. I haven't programmed any games in a few years, so seeing this come together was really awesome. I hope you have as much fun playing as I did making this game! Thanks to Talon and all of my other friends for the encouragement during the development process.

after trying the game again after the tiny update, I can say the hurdle race is quite a bit easier for me. Nice work, that made the game considerably less frustrating, but the challenge of getting a really nice score is always there, so I really like how it's balanced now.

it is a very fun but difficult game. i love the learning curve.

Really like this! The deliberately ps1-inspired sound quality is a neat touch. Really makes me feel like I'm playing a retro cutting edge game. Would totally play other entries in the retro series if they ever come out lol


The hardest event for me is by far the hurdle race. I can do it if I can get control of my speed, but it's quite picky. Sometimes I have decent races and other times they are dismal lol


My favorite is by far the

bicycle slalom. In fact, I could see this idea being made into an Enduro-like game. I kind of wish the gates weren't quite so wide, but hey, it adds challenge, and it's quite exhilerating cruising at just the right speed, barely avoiding the gates but not crashing. I managed to do a race like that pretty much the whole way through once, but it's not easy.

Please continue this too! I love it.
