Very cool entry!
Gameplay wise I think the hitbox for the bike thingy is a bit too unforgiving right now. I think the controls feel good, if maybe a tad sensitive. I really like the boost idea which launches you ahead, I think it could be a great tool for speedrunning!
Themewise, I like how it ties into the main mechanic. I would have liked some more thematic implementation of the concept though, like maybe a fire animation when you launch or a sound of a fiery explosion!
The aesthetics are very simple, but work really well. It's very nostalgic and definitely brings me back to simpler times, lol.
Sound wise, I didn't feel the lack of music, so I think that was a good choice. The aesthetics definitely imply more of a quiet, very sparse soundscape, so I think having no music works a bit into that. I do feel it feels a bit empty sometimes though, having sounds for touching the ground at different speeds could be a good idea for future iterations.
Cool entry, keep up the good work!

Simple but really fun. I like how you implemented the theme through the overheat boost, the game is def too hard for me to complete tho. I think making the car wider or more durable might help the game be less frustrating. But over all, great job!
It's definitely an original game, the player is a bit difficult to control. Anyway it's a good job.
It's a really fun game , i would say it's really difficult but still fun . ( i'm to sh*t for this game )
Pretty brutal game :D the first thing I saw when I loaded it up was fail screen XD
However I generally like the idea + how you combined it with the theme of the jam.
Controls are a bit too sensitive and I also think that tutorial level or at least having a bit easier beginning on the first level would have helped a lot with getting used to the controls.
Nice sound effects and graphics that are clear. One wish is to have instructions on how to play the game. It's fun that you can fly really far with the overheat. Good job!
