Yeah, if time permitted we would probably go for having headlights working for at least few seconds of the drive, so you get the feel (and sight) of the road. The trick is to mostly always drive forward and not steer too much to the sides, cause you'll end up just doing a zigzac all the time. As soon as you hear the gravel sound, you try to steer away. The tire screech is when you're very close to the ditch.
I could only give the game to one other person to test out before submitting so yeah, hahah, definitely gonna do more user tests in the future.
Thanks a lot!
