actually fucking goated, i hope this wins
i already told u some of this in disc but this game genuinly understands "slick" on a fundamental level, instead of uniquely interpreting the theme you go for the brute force approach of directly applying it in the most unapolagetic way. you have baked it down to a science the concept of slickness. this game is filled with those punchy "WHOA NEW MECHANIC" moments that make you the developer look COOL AS FUCK. every time im introduced to a new thing in this game it feels like im 3 and watching jingling keys. also the SCHMOOOVEEMENT is so goooooooddddd yummmmmmmmmmm.
the visual design is so *crisp* and tony is i think the most swag individual known *to man*, and i just fucking love funky jet set radio songs so like this game was visually and auditorily a treat.
i love shit like this, i love me some SA2, i love me some speedrun games, i love me a score and a ranking system, i love me a little arcade skill based "single player competetive", this is litterally made for me specifically.
if i had to opportunity to submit to this jam, i would have given this game 5 stars in every catagory, because its just unironically the best game. you have consistently made the best game (imo) 2 years in a row holy shit
idk how to put gifs in itch.io but imagine like the jesse pinkman "HE CANT KEEP GETTING AWAY WITH THISSSSS"
