Feels like on of those games schools use to teach students. Probably great potential to build it even further. More lanes, different subjects. Id love to take tests this way haha. Good job clean game and fits the theme! :D

Neat idea! I was blowing right past all the numbers at first until I realized what was going on - I definitely had an 'aha' moment. I've never had to do math so quickly before

The sense of speed is amazing. Great work.

I did not notice the numbers or the turn markers at first and then it was neigh impossible. Steering feels too hard; it seems faster to just ignore and go down center, because hitting walls is costly. Overall very fun, I like it!

And I really appreciate the online leaderboard! (I'm Démon there).

Oh wow I'm so bad at this game! I can see this being used to practice mental-calculations, coordinating the driving and the numbers is tricky! My only complaint is that the numbers are a bit hard to read when going fast.

The steering was really hard to get used to, I don't think I managed a single turn without crashing into the sides. Perhaps the game could do some light auto-correction to try and help you point straight?
Additionally, at the speeds you tend to get up to, maybe having the answers follow the camera instead of being printed on the tarmac would be helpful.

Really enjoyed the idea and implementation though, even if I spent a lot of my time with the front buried against the edge of the track.

Haha! I had to get to the scoreboard. Great game!

I think the idea works very well. But the numbers could be more detailed. And a small slow down when selecting the result would be very good.

this game its really frenetic, i think it would be better with an improved camera

Had a lot of fun trying to get better, this would actually be good use for education while also being a lot of fun!

The idea is really good, but the steering could use some improvements. Most of the times, even if I knew the answer I would crash when trying to fit to the right lane and driving through the curves was really difficult (I would say even more difficult than the math! :D )

Whoa whoa who it's fast ! Too fast it's barey driveable ! Like... An actual F1 in fact... Well...

Okay to be fair at my second try I got the hang of it and I have to say, it's great ! The driving mechanics are actually good and works quite well. And the addition (eheh, addition) of the math problem is a super original idea, very fun and engaging to play. Overall great game, congratulation !
