This is a really awesome review and I just want to say thanks for taking the time to write it! I'm glad you picked up on some of the small details I put in there.
Tricks are definitely on my radar as well. They were on my list, but I ran out of time before I could get them in.
I also thought about adding a right stick look around. I probably will for a later build. The main reason I didn't is because my girlfriend really struggles to play games that require two sticks, and I try to make sure she can enjoy whatever I made. So I wanted something that didn't require two sticks to play. But now I think I could probably add a look around feature on the right stick, which would help those that want it but wont be required for those that don't.
I knew someone was going to cheese it! I totally agree though, at least for this build, its up to the player to decide how they want to go about it. And I'm okay with that, at least for now.
Thank you a ton for playing and the thoughtful review. I had a lot of fun playing Bigmode Jam Kart btw!
