Amazing aesthetics! I also loved the game, I just wish there was a bigger indicator of when you could overheat.

The game looks amazing! I couldn't figure out when I started to overheat or how to prevent it but otherwise it was a smooth experience.
I like the cute colourpallete and the gameplay is smooth. Pretty cool!
Cool idea. And the game was really polished man. I loved how it looks you know. Good job!
I got 00:49.489
I love the visuals! It's very appealing and the driving mechanics feel really clean while also being simple.
Sometimes simple and smooth is all you need! It definitely wasn't as simple to make this game tho, so good work!
Neat game! great art, the gameplay is cool but since it's so simple it doesn't stay interesting for very long
Great work! Love the minimalistic art style, the simple one-button gameplay and the not-too-punishing overheat mechanic.

Got third! Or second since top 2 are the same people. Dango’s too good haha.
Really liked how smooth it played, like others said, it felt very polished. Some feedback:
- Straights and curves feel the same? Like I wasn’t slowing down at curves. maybe add some speed limit to it? making the car tilt and if it tilts too much, the player falls out. or just slowing down the car works too
- Didn’t really see the setting username input at the start
- SFX was good, warning the player when it is overheating. Except sometimes the sound feels broken.
I know you used all existing assets and of course the assets themselves look great… but there’s also USING them in a way that potentializes their quality, which you did really well - lots of merit there.
The polish on the menu, the key turning, the background, I do love me some well made menus so it’s a pleasure to see that. Also from seeing your tower defense game, your artistic taste is on point.
Points of improvement:
-
I didn’t feel like I had a clear picture of how close I was to overheating, maybe more smoke that clearly gets progressively more? or some red highlight somewhere on the screen? a heat meter? don’t really know how you’d solve it, but felt the feedback was lacking there, I’m sure you can come up with better solutions than me seeing the quality of your work

Missing a “view leaderboard” button in the main menu
Game looks really good and plays really nice! The local multiplayer was a nice addition, thought I could play the 4 players to increase my chances of getting highscore but im just not good enough
One of the best games I tried in the jam as of now.
everything is gorgeous and polished, my personal favourite!!!! (totally not biased as I played like an hour). I hope you guys will continue making games, keep up the good work.
Note: The only issue I found was the sound breaking down after the 3rd lap. I also firmly believe that heat adds up faster after precisely the 5th lap, I had to tap much slower to not overheat.
the game looks so polished and completed! its so simple yet so fun i like it
