Damn bro!!!! THE GAME IS AWESOME (big fan of rover based games)....
The music hits hard, the driving feels great. The mechanics in game are simple and engaging. The physics, the particle effects, the skybox ..... I can keep on going. You did a wonderful job integrating all of them brother.
My feedback would be like the others mention, the camera angle on the rover. I would have loved to my rover do airtime from an angle I like and doing the slick drifts. The in-game camera is also very sensitive but manageable. I would have preferred a smaller map with some height added to the terrain and some ramp over canyons but with maybe 30% the size of the current map. I fell you could have made a tight game where you could really feel the speed of the rover. Also since the map is quite big with no indicators, I did not want to go to the hassle of exploring every nook and crook for the lifeforms.
But overall this is a game which I will definitely revisit if updated. Really loved your game. I hope you dont take the above remarks as harsh but just how much I want to play it again
Kudos!!
Have a nice day :D

Thanks a lot for the amazing message, I really appreciate the energy :)
Don’t worry at all, I’m not taking the feedback badly. On the contrary, I agree with many of your points. The camera angle, the sense of speed, and the lack of indicators are all things that can definitely be improved.
For now, a first run is meant to take around ten minutes on average, so that partly explains the current map size and pacing, but I agree there’s room to make the experience tighter and more intense.
I’m planning to continue developing the game after the jam. I still have quite a few ideas I didn’t have time to implement, and despite the camera technical issues, the overall feedback has been very encouraging. That really motivates me to push it further and polish the experience properly.
Thanks again for the thoughtful feedback :D
