Awesome game! Love the gameplay, especially the radio. I was a bit surprised to see the car on fire when I first stopped it lol. Amazing work :D

Very cool game and great presentation! I didn't really know what was going on at first, and honestly I expected a 2.5D game when first loading in so when I moved the camera around and realized it was first person I was kinda surprised lol. Once I got a hang of the controls and mechanics it was really fun! I think the game goes on for a little bit too long, maybe making it 15 laps instead of 20 would be a bit more engaging. But the mechanics are fun and the decision making is very interesting, the risk/reward element of stopping your car to replace tires or fill it up vs just letting it run one more lap, very neat. Good job!

Deal With ItLove the art and the style you went with. The performance was rough on my device, and the motion blur didn't help much either. Still, it's a great idea with nice execution. I have seen other games with similar premise as well, but this one is by far the best with the depth in mechanics and the beautiful visuals.
I would suggest having the report and statistics on the HUD as well for easier management (which may defeat the whole point, so take it with a grain of salt), and an option to turn off the radio would be nice. The VFX work is amazing to see, and the tire deformation is very neat. There's a crucial bug where I couldn't interact with the fuel system after the race started as well, so I couldn't reach the end goal of the game. I'll look forward to when the game is fixed and seeing what victory tastes like!

GrassMon: Survive the Tamers!Interesting idea, well presented. The controls felt a bit overly sensitive to me? It was a bit confusing at first being dropped into the game, the tutorials were helpful but it could have been presented a bit more straightforwardly. The sound effects were a bit annoying at times, especially the beeping and cars going by constantly. Those are small gripes though, overall this game was really impressive. Nice job!

PelletFirst off, this game is great! it's got a really clean and effective loop, the pressure of the race works really well to get you constantly on edge. I found the motion blur a bit sickening, and at one point I stopped being able to grab the fuel hose, but those are minor bugs that don't count into my rating, just worth considering if you are gonna update the game. Aside from those minor things 10/10 really well presented and fun!
Really nice game!! Very good tutorial. Love the art style and the radio. I learnt how to repair the wheel. And I really like to spray the fuel to others.

Frogger InvasionThoroughly enjoyed the concept and art style
Couple of suggestions:
-I think there should be lug nuts apart of the tire removal process
-could do with some visual UI indicators on the car it self without having to turn around
-Some graphics / settings options

RollgatorySaw the artwork from day one and thought I'll have to try that one. Really cool art direction. The management is a bit too stressful for me, but it's still such a cool game.

An outstanding and original game that is a genre all its own.. That, or I don't come across that many racing games. Reverse racing? Pit Crew? What would you call it? It is as stunning in its stylized visuals as it is creative. You must work to help your brother win the race.
It's weak point is that it doesn't seem feasible to win. 20 laps where you feel like you're always behind; and the car is always catching fire. I wish I understood a winning strategy, but I wasn't able to find it. What's worse is that the laps didn't seem to count properly at times, leading me to lack confidence in my capacity to compete.
That said, once the bugs are fixed, I want a full version to hit Steam in the near future!

Very fun! I definitely felt the stress of keeping the car going. There were several times where I felt like the laps weren't being counted properly. Also, it seems impossible to keep up with the other cars. I tried several times to optimize my performance, but it didn't seem to make much difference.
Edit: Added another star. While I was disappointed about being unable to progress in skill, or to feel like I could win, I still really enjoyed the game loop. Thanks!

That was a great idea, and well implemented, too! When we watch racing movies or play racing games we tend to see things mostly from the perspective of the driver. Today I got to live my fantasy of being Guido from cars XD
I almost withheld that last star for not adding an extra twist, but heck! I can't think of a single game like this! Your game WAS the twist! Excellent job! Please fix the bugs so I can share this with my friends who are into racing.

Freaking fantastic! What engine did you use? Was it Unreal? Whatever you did, it felt clean, clear, polished, and even stylized! Not only that, but you went the extra mile to make things clear to the player that they needed replaced. The tires looking worn when the car makes a pit stop? *Chef's kiss*
