I currently placed it under action but again that does not really apply.  The game is in prototype phase at the moment, and has a vertical slice that is playable. Please give it a quick werl, and provide feedback on what genre it feels best suited for.

The title is not finalized.

Thanks again.

Sounds more like simulator genre with gambling in it.

Hey thanks very much for the reply.  I think yours is far superior to what I was running with.  Thanks again mate. 

Well, there is always no or other as a genre option.

Unless the player controls the runners, I would not call it action.

The genre selection on itch seems to be less about content and more about how the game is played. Auto-battlers and idle games would be missing from that list. Also gambling/casino. And some genres do have to do with the content.

To me, horror would be a genre, as I would say, I want to play a horror game. But that is a tag.

racing and strategy might apply. Especially if you can influence the death race somehow. You can have more than one genre. It is just tags.

I added a gameplay video, so if anyone else would like to way in I would really appreciate any input.  As simulated/betting is the closest.  But I have to say not sure what interest that would garnish.
