I just loved going off-track as shortcuts ^_^\r\rI never coded in GameMaker, but you might want to check the x\/y speed of your unicycle as it crashes into a building - and let it bounce off with that speed instead of getting it stuck...\r\rAnyhow, was fun to play :)"},{"author_name":"KeyMaster","author_uid":"30626","time":"Dec 17, 2013 @ 2:24pm","epoch":1387289940,"text":"Really cool game! Good graphics and really nice soundtrack (reminded me of dustforce). Sadly the controls were very difficult and I got stuck in walls often.

My only gripes with it are the fact that the camera is a bit quirky (especially when going off-road) and that the physics are a bit wonky (I would've loved to see how a Drag Race Unicycle would've fared against one of those cars!). Good job!"},{"author_name":"Dr. Mo","author_uid":"8780","time":"Dec 20, 2013 @ 4:11am","epoch":1387512360,"text":""Makes me seasick.

Managing to get from one building to another, smoothly gliding round corners whilst avoiding the pesky cars and buildings - that was fun.

Getting stuck in building is a tad frustrating at times, but that is somewhat fixed by the restart button.
