Thanks! Even though the game is still pretty early in development, I tried to focus a lot on the game's presentation, like making sure the music, visuals, and overall style of the game worked well together. So I'm glad to hear that you liked it!
I have noticed that it can sometimes be difficult to get ahead in a race if you get set back behind the other racers. Adding items helped with this issue somewhat, but it's still something that I'm hoping to improve to help make the races feel more fun and competitive for the player. I plan on tweaking the rubber banding and AI for the other CPU racers some more to hopefully help with this.
I'm also currently working on trying to fix some of the lag in the browser version of the game.
I really appreciate the feedback, thank you!
