Now THIS is SICK Racing! I love me some speed, and this game delivered. While it could use a little more polish, what's here is fantastic! Great work on this!!

the looks of this game was so cool! i had a bit of trouble with playing on the pylon track (unfortunately the game would crash when i tried to start on this track), but i enjoyed outrunning the npcs on windy city!

This is really cool! I'd definitely run through a few more races if it was easier to get in and out of the races - the races didn't actually finish properly for me after 3 laps, so I had to restart the game to race again.

I think one change that might be nice is having boost be B/Circle instead of Y/Triangle, or maybe just a trigger - usually I don't really want to let go of the accelerate button to boost, but it's pretty hard to press Y while you're still holding A to accelerate. It's easier to hit both A and X or A and B at the same time though.

Ha, this is totally sick. I love the homage to f-zero here, even making the NPC cars kinda jitter about! Really nice touch. Could def use some polish, controls could be a bit tighter, there's a few bugs here and there, but overall you got a great base to work off of here! Keep it up!

Love it! Grew up playing F-zero so I love the gameplay automatically. I can't say that I actually kept up with any racers or finished a race but it was still cool. The menu is also JUICY with all the text effects and such, love the menu a lot. The SFX when at max speed was a bit annoying, but the music/sfx was great otherwise. I was disappointed to be offered cars that I couldn't choose from, and also the game crashes for my when I try to race Pylons, but it was cool nonetheless. Nice work! Hope to see you continue with it!

I've never been good at F-zero, I know my way around a standard racer, sure, but F-zero has always been too much for me. I go however fast you're supposed to go in a school zone, y'know! That said, I still had a ton of fun messing around with the demo here! In terms of lore and presentation, I'd argue you hit the nail on the head, especially with the SICK-MC bit. I kinda just goofed around on the tracks instead of seriously trying at the races cause I'm quite prone to falling off, but I still enjoyed my time with the game! Both tracks were a ton of fun to goof around on. Great stuff!

The execution on the presentation here is stellar!  I'd love to watch someone better than me at racing games whizz through these levels because it's a joy to watch and listen to.
