Alright, reuploaded and fixed! Not bug-free, but... what even is? Enjoy :)

Hey fellow UE4 users :P
I really dig the neon visuals of this one. But I am not sure what the goal is to be honest :P

took my 20 minutes to download but finally got there! Great visuals, controls could use a little polish but overall great!

20 minutes? Shouldn't be that bad from the UK (I'm assuming by your nick). Anyway, I threw up a MediaFire mirror!

I wanted to play it a lot, since it's Unreal Engine 4 and I want to make a game similar to this for a school project, but got a dll missing :(

Hyoga, see above - you need to download the Visual C++ Redistributable from Microsoft.

Wow, visually extremely impressive! Good job, but with sounds it would have been an even better entry.

Cool that you used UE4 for the Jam. It's a cool game concept but I struggled with the controls and it was pretty buggy I'm afraid to say (kept telling me to turn back and restarting).

cool graphics, but the controls are a bit hard and after awhile playing I feel a great lack of motivation since there's no end or other racers.
