Very fun game! I really like the idea! Well done:)

This is a very unique game with a great concept! It was a bit hard to understand at first (and the game itself is pretty difficult), the game feels very polished. Great job!

A very interesting idea here, but it needs a little more time in the oven. I wish there was some way to know beforehand how the graph timeline relates to the car's path, as I find figuring out bigger chunks more satisfying than just going by trial and error, bit by bit.

Love the idea. 

I think not forcing the car to start on initial position breaks the design... Also, the graph could be better integrated in the game (in a corner?). I ended up playing with the graph displayed all the time.

Anyway, good idea and good game

Developer

Yeah, I agree, it was originally going to be split view but it made everything small so I switched to an overlay last minute - would be interesting to explore that more

This is a neat idea! I think that restarting allowed you to brute force the puzzles instead of trying to figure it out, and because of this it gets repetitive. The music and UI were very good and clear!

Really nice and original concept! Fits the theme well and the UI was very clear :)

I found it difficult to predict the car movement at times, so there was lot of trial and error, but that was part of the challenge i guess!

Really love the idea and the game and ui feels very polished for only 4 days of work. The only thing that got a bit repetetive after a while is the music. Overall great game^^

Thanks - I wish I could've spent all 4 days on this, unfortunately only had Saturday and Sunday

Really great stuff ! brilliant concept :D

Spent way more on one of the early levels than I want to admit. Really nice :D

That was fun! I liked how you got the chart/music combo going on, did get annoyed after a while. The controls were interesting on how you implemented them on the chart. Kinda felt a little unresponsive, but maybe that was just me.

  • nice graphics
  • the ‘car is now driving’ musical score gets repetitive while working through the solutions
  • not sure if it is intentional, but the simulation seems to be non-deterministic, you can just click rewind/play and get different outcomes.
  • interesting physics puzzle
  • given that seeing were on the play track the scrubber is helps with IDing what you want to change, if there was a way to have the full track viable and the scrub-bar at the same time without the transparent overlay, it would be a nice quality of life improvement
  • adding some crash, rev, wheel skid sounds at appropriate times might be an interesting addition.

Incredibly Creative and Fun!

Would buy it on Steam  when this gets further developed lol

The intimidating graphs hide behind them a deceptively simple puzzle game. The minimalist visuals are really charming, I just wish the programming menu was more transparent when the car was driving.  Nice work and nice take on the theme!

Submitted(+1)

This is a really cool take on the theme! I love the title.

The controls are very interesting and take a bit of getting used to, but thankfully the difficulty curve is graceful and forgiving. Nice work!

Submitted(+1)

very original!

Nice game! The control is quite fluent and the art is very simple but elegant. I like it!

Really cool take on the theme and although very difficult, finishing levels was rewarding

Really good concept!
