I really liked how the music accompanied the various styles of the different locations. The idea of having to come in 2nd was quite nice as well. The game itself was not very fun though. If you had to stand a chance of keeping up with the other cars, you need to go full speed (most of the time anyways), which gives you next to no chance to dodge the oil and jelly patches on the ground. I liked the detail of the backgrounds, especially the desert, some nice... intergalactic details ;-)\rAll in all I liked the style, but the gameplay not so much."},{"author_name":"Jools64","author_uid":"17060","time":"Aug 27, 2013 @ 11:59am","epoch":1377604440,"text":"This is a really cool looking and sounding game but I found it very difficult to dodge anything considering the small area that is on screen in front of the car.\rI did really love the car customization though, my banana car with pokeball wheels looked excellent!\r\rGood job guys."},{"author_name":"Moosefly","author_uid":"25343","time":"Aug 27, 2013 @ 12:17pm","epoch":1377605520,"text":"Thanks for the comments guys! If you can't stomach the gameplay atleast check the outro using the code "THERECANBEONLY1", that way you'll get the full story!\r\rIt's really a shame I couldn't make the game play how I wanted and had to change the gameplay in the last hour. It was still a GREAT learning experience and we're looking forward to our next LD!"},{"author_name":"RobotParking","author_uid":"26005","time":"Aug 27, 2013 @ 12:38pm","epoch":1377606780,"text":"The art style is absolutely fantastic."},{"author_name":"Ciaran54","author_uid":"8247","time":"Aug 27, 2013 @ 1:36pm","epoch":1377610260,"text":"I liked the car design, but i found it extremely difficult because I couldn't react in time to move out of the way of the raspberry jam, and I thought the car hitbox was slightly too big also, but just minor things, It was a good submission ;)"},{"author_name":"MuciojadPL","author_uid":"21095","time":"Aug 27, 2013 @ 1:52pm","epoch":1377611220,"text":"I like it.

Narration- and plotwise, mind you. I LOVE the reason why I want to get in second. And the vehicle customization is a pretty nice touch. As are the moose, haha.\r\rI love the graphics!\r\rThe placeholder music is hilarious. Please leave it in! :D\r\rI am not too content with the gameplay. It never seem to be in the right lane, and I see those raspberry jam spots too late to evade them.\r\rThe ten-second timer seems pretty meaningless. Why does it matter; I have to come in second above all, don't I?\r\rWhy doesn't a race end when I can't place second anymore? I don't want to finish it if it I have no chance of winning.\r\rThe gameplay isn't too hot, but everything else about the game is extremly funny, and so I still enjoyed it a lot! Good job there! And congratulations on your first LD entry!"},{"author_name":"nintendoeats","author_uid":"22819","time":"Aug 27, 2013 @ 9:17pm","epoch":1377637920,"text":"Not in here Mister, this is a Mercedes...\r\rI love everything about this aside from playing it (and I know that you know why that is).

Nice humor also. It's pretty damn impossible to avoid the red things on the road at that speed so it was a bit frustrating, but it was very original that you had to finish 2nd to "win".
