Glad you enjoyed the game! I enjoyed yours too, especially the art and enemy variety.
To address a couple of your concerns about our game: you are meant to spawn facing away from the track on that level, you have to turn the car around so you can move towards the finish line. It's meant to create suspense and an "oh crap" moment when you load in and frantically turn your car around to start the level with a short timer. As for the cultists, you should be able to hit them all at full speed with some practice, it took me a while but I was able to test it and make sure it's possible to do at full speed. Also, you don't need to hit them all to get enough time to complete any of the levels, it's okay if you miss a few! : )
