Nice game, the aesthetics are great - felt very tronlike to me. Sound was good, clearly a lot of thought and polish has gone into the game.

This game is great, I was hooked. The controls are quite responsive, although I would have liked to see an option to move slightly, instead of full movement all the time. I really like how you add the braking sounds when the player keeps turning for a given duration, it makes it so much more immersive.
Great job!

New AwakeningThis is a really neat game. I thought at first that you couldn't jump over the buildings, but it turns out my timing was just awful. The turning is a little clicky, like I kinda wish there was a little lerp or easing, but I guess there's some tradeoff to make it feel responsive. Really liked the UI work and the 3d tips at the beginning

Dead With FriendsLove the synthwave theme. I wish the colors changed between levels to make it feel a little different.

Purgatory LayoffsLoved how you did the instructions, gave the great impression of a race game and speed. First 2 levels were pretty easy and then I couldnt complete the third and was stuck there. Maybe just me or a more gradual difficulty curve. The only mechanic I didnt like was the jump. Felt too quick and kept making me fail, but was more on the third level. Overall, I like it :)

The King is deadThank you!
The concept for the levels was: basic tutorial, learning how to move fast to the sides, learning how to jump, challenge 1, challenge 2.
So yeah, level 3 was all about jumping. XD
For the gamejam I had to make the levels short but challenging. Probably will lower the difficulty curve when I develop the game more in the future. Thanks for the feedback!
Buttery smooth controls. Great job on the theme (We also did a synthwave style).

eTernal LifeAs a huge fan of 80s-like synthwave, I have to rate it with 5 stars in music :-). The rest is also more than fine. Good job! *thumbs up*

You Are DeadLove the art and style of the game! The driving mechanic could use some refining, but I thought you did a great job!

RenascentiaThanks for the submission. Nice retro driver. Great art and fitting music.

There is No HeavenYou really nailed the look. How did you make the scanline effect? Gameplay is pretty good as well. You should have had some proper synthwave in it. Look at White Bat Audio, he does royalty free stuff that you can use in whatever you want as long as you credit him. It would do wonders for this game. Cheers!

PUGB - BattlegroundsThank you for the musical suggestion. I'll check them out.
For the jam I went for exclusively CC0 assets, so anything that requires attribution was filtered out, but for future development on the game I'll have no constraints and can use better music/assets. :D
About the scanline effect, it's just a semitransparent texture tiled on a canvas in front of the camera. Very simple to implement!
I'm generally not a huge fan of this type of gameplay. But the graphics, the audio, and the overall vibe of the game is amazing! Seems like you definitely met your goal with this one :)

Necro HunterThe overall aesthetics look great! Other than turning, which is not as sensitive as I expected, the control is very smooth. Very polished. Nicely done!

Escape InfernoReally cool UI and look, the worldspace UI is extremely polished. Overall fun, I would only try to polish the movement a little, the camera is a little jerky.
