In what way does your game fit the theme?
In ReCharger, there's a "reverse" mechanic in order to generate forward movement. Literally rewinding backwards, just not with time.
Did you write most of the code yourself and made all the assets from scratch?
I used a visual scripting tool, Playmaker, so I didn't really write any code. Except for the script for quality settings.
As for the assets, graphics & models were made from scratch, while music & sfx were free to use.

Thank you! Excalibur can be really hard to handle, it is one of its unique traits. Though the difficult handling can be mitigated by handbraking/drifting (which I added in the new version.) In the future, other cars will be playable, and they too will have different stats. Something that I'm very excited to do! 😄

Thank you master! 😄 Well the physics on this game is not that complicated, it's just a rigidbody sphere with forward acceleration. But yeah, visual scripting makes it much faster to implement a lot of stuff. I really ♥ Playmaker!
And yes, I'm more of an artist, I became interested in game dev when I was in college. Then I started using Game Maker, but I really wanted to make 3D games and that's why I decided to use Unity, took me like 2 years to learn some basics. Shout out to Brackeys for helping me learn!

I'm glad you had fun playing! Those pullback car toys really were the inspiration for the rewind mechanic but racing with frequent recharging felt like it wasn't a fun idea. Then memories of bumper cars came to my mind and when you bump with others, you do frequently stop from time to time and that means recharging backwards wasn't as inconvenient anymore. It took me three days just to come up with this perfect idea before I could actually start developing, leaving me with like less than 4 days.
Again thanks for enjoying the game, it's going to be improved for sure and hope you check it out again! 😊✌

I'll take note on these issues, and believe me I do get those frustrations as well 😄 I'll surely try out solutions. Thank you for playing!
Bonus, here's a sneak peek of the car at the beginning of development:
