Even though this is a simple game, I think it is very polished and good for what it is. I like the retro style, seems like it should be on an Atari.

So simple, yet so addictive. I appreciate that the difficulty ramps up very quickly, since you have to start back at the beginning whenever you fail. The color palette and audio suit the game nicely.

I'm so bad at this game.
It would make a great mobile game though!

Nice and polished, and it's a cool arcade-y/phonegame-y idea.

Makes me think of Flappy Bird in that it's very simple yet well-designed, and I could see a thousand variants on this game getting released on mobile. I like the sound effects, actually-- you slowly have to increase your speed, and the rhythm of the keypresses is fantastic.

Nice one-button game, simple yet fun. Would've loved to see some more courses, power-ups, and other runners. Really fun though

A one-click racing game, brilliantly executed. My one - ONE - gripe is the abrasive SFX, but this game could give Flappy Bird a run for its money with some expansion. Maybe make the scenery change every few points, maybe add some music...

I am hesitant to say how long I played this for.
You'll find me in the highscores as Jraap.
One day I will miss my kids' soccer game because i will be playing this game.

Really addictive! The leaderboards really motivated me and I loved the rhythm based gameplay.

Great. I think it is a screen rather than a track though, no? ;)

Thank you very much for the feedbacks, All! :)
As for your suggestion, I will port it on mobile. I have ported it into mobile and it worked very well (It was easy to port it thanks to Haxeflixel and Haxe).
The only I have to take care now is the account for the submission xD.

Also, sorry for the difficulty, but I made it like that because it might be a bit boring if the speed is constant :D.

@JoshuaBurr: Wow, my score was 14 too xD.

@jrap: I checked your score in leaderboard, your score defeated mine :D.

@jpmit: I don't know what is called actually, but since it is looping and you have to go around it, I called it track instead xD.

Well done :D

You can't get simpler and at the same time more addictive than this. Great! :D

There wasn't really much to this - it's a jam game, but it felt like it could have been made in the compo. There aren't many interesting game mechanics, and it's quite frustrating to play. It does feel like it could make it on mobile, though, with the short attention span of that audience. Maybe it just isn't my sort of thing.

Too bad there isn't much more to it... cool concept, but it is lacking some variation
