YO... this is a flash game directly from the late 2000's early 2010's... love the silly dialog and the simplistic but still kinda challenging gameplay cause you wanna max out the speed (nice touch making the music dynamic with the color of the bar, loved that small detail). The art is very cute too... (not in the game but I love the lore bits in the description, very funny). Good job!

Nope - I've completed at least one game jam before.
How does your game fit the theme?
You participate in races but you have to get the motor started and turn it off repeatedly.

The sprites are terrific, I love their cute little head's popping up when they talk (and the sooty face with big eyes after the explosion lol)! I like the concept and how the speed limitation always makes it fit the theme. The music fits really well as well. A really fun, light-hearted experience!

Cloud CollectorI like the idea, I think it's very simple but enjoyable. I think it would be nice for a little more than just pressing spacebar, which can also give more purpose to brakes since I didn't really see any need to buy brakes. The dialogue was funny, and I liked the music changing based on how fast you were going.

Procrasti-StartNice game with dynamic music. The base mechanic is interesting and could use something to do with your non mouse hand, or perhaps that would be a hat-on-a-hat.

Flight of FancyThis games a lot of fun, dialogue got a chuckle out of me and I liked how the epic music came in when your going fast. I only wish that hitting the acceleration was more touchy, like it added way too much force over a longer period of time so it was harder to judge whether the amount of force you put on would send the car over the limit.

Escape the 09 FaustalusNice little game.
Maybe a weird feedback but I find being able to press the button to skip the animations in the conversation part is quite nice.

Dungeon Card SlingerGood game, the music changing based on speed really sets the mood. Maybe 2 laps per race would be better, on the third I am half a lap ahead of second place so it just feels like a formality

The horde is just getting startedIt's decent, and I like Capybaras. It might be good to add some more stuff in the background to signify movement, like trees, rocks, stands, etc.
