That seems like a bug, you should be able to go up to 160+ km/h. What are your specs and can you send me the log.txt from the game folder ?

Thanks for your thoughts!
Struggling with particles? Hmmm, I don't have that problem even on my 6 year old laptop. Are you also on a laptop with 2 GPUs? It's quite possible that the game is using an integrated GPU instead of a dedicated one. When the game starts alt+tab to the console and see what it says on the top for "GL Version:". If this is the case you need to go to your windows "Graphics Settings" and set the game to performance mode. This is an annoying problem with OpenGL - it has no control over which GPU is used, the OS is the one which decides.
Falling off the map: Yeah, I should add some fail safe for that, the track is really not finished tho, it's all WIP, a lot of objects and props are missing, and those include stage blockers as well preventing you to stray too much off track.
Thanks for that suggestion, I added them here in the docs: https://github.com/nothke/shakedown-docs#rebinding-controls
This game is like made for me! I'm the kind of a person that loves watching every single astronaut report when they passionately talk about their experiments, and then in the end say that they actually have no idea what they do, they're just there to flick switches and push buttons and the real scientists are on the ground, and then proceed talking about food. :D I've dreamed of making a game that feels like that and this is it! All the little technical details are so cool and I enjoyed every little bit of it!
Edit: Oh also, the game made me paranoid about fires now, I'll be looking out for crimson glints around the icy hills. Thanks for that! :D
Experience I guess :P I've done it a couple of times already. If you're interested, I streamed the whole process, you can see it starting from here: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1140069904
To anyone wondering why you can't open the page, I'm sorry, I didn't finish it in time for the deadline so the page is locked, but I will put it up in a couple of days!
