Sweet UI design, I really enjoyed the game ahaha the turning was a bit hard to control but once you get used to it, its actually quite interesting.

At one time I got it to fly to the sky and lost ground :D As others say, it reminds a lot of Star Wars racing pods, which is a good thing and a very good result for 48 hours of work (specially since you used the las Unity version to test the UI, which I did too and was not easy to get used to). I would love to see a more complete version of it which was more user-friendly to play.
