I had to make sure that 1st gear was enough to actually beat the game and playtested without using the gearshifting mechanic because I know there's people who don't know about gearshifting in general and I didn't want to gatekeep the experience, but you do get rewarded with better control over the vehicle if you do know about it.
I also added auto switching to 6th gear when pressing S, otherwise I foresaw people ramming into a wall and getting stuck and assuming there was no reverse.
