I like the look and feel of this game. However, I must say the game is hard. It is not a bad thing but it is risky. It a very unique game. Good job
Reminds me of some very old game with bears and shit
I don’t like how the car stops dead in it’s tracks when you collide with the wall even slightly Fun loop, but mostly just racing over and over with different stats, sick “one hand car” idea execution though!
WOW awesome mechanics!
Really well executed / put together.
Cool narrative and fun gameplay! Well done! :D
This is very cool and would have been so much more fun if I had brought a mouse and wasnt playing on my laptop with a tracker pad! Love the aesthetic and the artwork. Great atmosphere.
This is a unique twist on a racing game in terms of mechanics, and the atmosphere is v cool
This is really cool! Believe it or not it's almost playable on mobile! Haha I love the aesthetics and the mouse only control to drive a car is super interesting!
Check out my game for a high speed chaotic antigravity racer!
Really stylish and interesting game. I spent most my time working the gear shifter so it was hard to play around with the shotgun. I bet in VR with two hands, this thing would be awesome! Well done!
This is awesome! Shooting out another car with the shotgun was very satisfying, the audio really adds a lot! Interesting idea, and well executed. I did have an issue with the web version where my cursor would become misaligned from the hand sprite. I'd love to see this expanded post-jam, great job!
A solid core loop of getting upgrades and racing with a nice narrative theme! The controls were interesting to learn and satisfying when things worked out! Great work :D
I can totally imagine playing this game in VR. Nice job.
I wish I had more hands. Like 3 of them.
Amazing
Wow, very, very good game, I had a little trouble getting to grips with it (because I'm not good) but the concept and the whole thing in general is really good.
For my taste, it lacks a little background music and collision sounds, but the rest is perfect !
P.S.: If you would like to check out the game I worked on, I would be grateful 🙏 (In your free time of course)🙏

Nice try!! A little tough to handle, but sure deserves a try by everyone!
I would love your rating to my game!
Great presentation. The controls are a little tough but I guess that's the point! Great work :)
it's a very cool game!
the controls are interesting, the art work is great, and the soundtracks are awesome!
I also really like the overall atmosphere that immerses you in the game!
Really cool vibe and aesthetics! Gameplay was a bit hard for me (i couldn't fully turn the wheel) but otherwise i really liked the concept
Incredibly well made and polished for a Jam-Game.
The is very unique, could definitely be a full game with some more work. Great job.
The idea of using the mouse to steer, shift gears, grab your weapon, etc. is really clever!
It totally reminded me of my first few driving lessons... minus the shotgun in the car, of course 😄
That said, the controls are extremely difficult — it’s definitely not easy to handle.
Still, there's a lot of potential here!
Wow the one-handed mechanic makes for very interesting gameplay! I like how the driving is manual as well, although it is pretty difficult to balance focus on everything. I didn't really focus on shooting any opponents because I was mainly focusing on steering, the speed is pretty slow and turning is a bit hard.
