Cool and fun! Driving is good. Feels like drifting through danger.

Developer

Thanks! The majority of my jam time was focused on making the drifting feel good.

Soo cool. Looks really polished. The art style is 10/10. Liked the drifting feeling. Nice job!

I first thought that green circles are the goal, looks ambiguous.

Developer(+1)

Yeah, maybe making the circles more clearly evil might be good. That or a tutorial. Thanks for the feedback!

Submitted

Cool neoney look. A not-so-common take on the dodging mechanic, very good. I liked the gameplay as well, it's fun, especially the drift. Music is good, but that drumming seems excessive, could have been a little spaced apart.

Developer

Thanks! I might revisit the music later. I was running out of time, so I just threw a drum loop together real quick.

Submitted

It's fun to play it. Congrats. I feel it's a tad simple (maybe you can add some more things in the future).

Developer

Yeah! I'm working on adding multiple cars and an online scoreboard.

Submitted

Fun game.

1, I would really like It if I could use the Arrow keys and not just WASD,

2, Because your car is very fast, It can dodge and even pass the circles.

3, The flashing lights from the exploding circles might hurt some player's eyes, maybe you should  tone them down. 

Besides these, cool and fun game.

Developer

In terms of controls, a valid point. The speed, however, was intentional. I will be adding car options later that will allow you to have different stats. I may add a seizure warning, but I like the effects and will probably keep them. Thanks for the feedback!

The drifting feels so good! It's honestly addicting just drifting around. The music is nice but could be more synthwave to match the style. The color palette is really nice, and I love the neon aesthetic. Maybe consider turning this into an arcade racer if you revisit it, cause the controls are too good not to use!

Developer

Thanks! I am working on adding races and new cars, as well as possible new or different music. I was originally planning to do synth wave, but because I was running out of time I just threw together a drum loop. Thanks for the feedback!

Submitted

Very good controls, great aesthetics!

Developer

Thanks!

I was going out to level and losing, maybe you could add some warn or the car stop when collide with limits.

May you rate my game too?

Developer

You get an "edge of map" notification on the screen. However, I may change rules regarding out of bounds.

Developer

I'll try to review your game when I get a chance :)

Submitted

Awesome way to incorporate driving and the theme.

Developer

Thank you!

Submitted

Super fun control and I love the synthwave aesthetic!

Developer

Thanks!

Submitted

The car control is super well implemented. feels almost like a real car! is awesome, and i love the synthwave aesthethic!

Developer

Yeah, I spent more time on the drifting controls than anything else. I'm glad it feels great! Thanks!

Submitted

This game controls very well! I had fun driving around seeing what kind of maneuvers I could pull off. 

Developer

I had just seen "Baby Driver" and was trying to recreate the frantic car feel while completing the game. Thanks for the feedback!

Submitted

super fun controls! also love the aesthetic

Developer

Thanks!
