How does your game represent "Slick"?
This game is all slick, all the time. The player tries to set a PB for distance as they hydroplane over a rain-slick highway with absolutely maximum cool and none of that pesky "slowing down" business.

Special shoutout to how fun it is to land those tight corners. Not only did it look slick, it made me feel slick. Even when crashing I still felt slick. Awesome work!
You guys are slick for this one! I feel like every time I crashed I had no one to blame but myself, lol
From one racing entry to another: nice work!
Controls are super slick and fun! Loved drifting with all the cool effects going on. Nice job!
I loved this!!! I love how the controls are very simple and subtle, with profound effects. It makes each slight input feel so important, and makes good moves that much more satisfying. Very well done!!! (SLICK MUSIC TOO!!!)
Very immersive, now I don't have to try it in real life thanks ! Very slick music !
PB: 7.3km in 1:03
By far my fav jam so far! Great freaking job!
I love the style, and the awesome music!
fun game! also this brings back scary memories, which leads me to my next point, there should be other cars and/or people crossing if you get far enough in score, now THAT would be scary. you did great here, awesome smooth controls.
Cool game! I've always enjoyed riding the corners as close as possible in racing games and it feels very good to do it here with so little control over the car. Around 7k, I got so close to hitting one of the walls it should have been over, but it wasn't and it felt great. It was over on the next wall after that, though.
I hydroplaned my car before, and it’s scary stuff… but this is fun! The drifting is well designed, and just like drifting a car for real, over-correcting will make you lose control.
Perfect use of the theme, the music, aesthetics, and controls perfectly fit. The likelihood of crashing really sells the idea of speed, but how it's implemented slows the game down. Upon crashing, the momentum and fun stops. Although the pause is brief, it does affect the game's longevity. Having a life system and/or instant restart button would incentivize the player to play for longer. Overall, great game!
Love the feeling of the car controller and the atmosphere. Easy to understand and difficult to master. Nice work!
very fun physics on the car! couldn't stop myself from loading back up and seeing if i could beat my pb time and time again. accompanied by the rainy atmosphere, it felt almost cozy as i did a slip and slide, crashed and died.
Made it 2.4km! Such a great use of theme for the game, the drifting felt great to get the hang of over a few playthroughs!
Damn that was slick for sure!
Those few seconds when you enter the tunnels and the downpour of rain stops was implemented really well!
Reminded me of GTA 4 with all the fog and slippery controls ! Wish the level design was a bit more permissive (more life also could be nice?) but still great job !
So slick, so simple but so addictive - I'll be coming back to this one to try and beat my high score. Love the chilled out vibes and the rain stopping as you drift through tunnels was a nice touch too!
Damn, this one is hard. Controlling the car feels great and I love the sound FX, especially the rain.
