It was a bit unclear what everything did, but the racing was fun. The game tended to spaz out a bit when I hit the grass, which was pretty annoying.

As it is I found myself frustrated a bit by the slow progression. A minimap would help with the races.\nI don't think this game has to go to the trash can, though. It's a good idea, it's interesting and if the driving were just a bit more fun (damn those collisions that make you lose races!) it would be quite a great entry!  \n\nI ended up leaving it running for a year (in-game time) and then had accumulated enough money to buy some upgrades which made it more tolerable (-:","likes":0,"format":"md"}],"format":"md","images":["ld41\/76779-ce904b69369646bab6ab4103f257fde0.png"],"links":[{"url":"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/open?id=1WyA48VxWb3EFxwn6LoYROkHGQDSAl6pB","text":"Windows"},{"url":"","text":"macOS"},{"url":"","text":"Linux"},{"url":"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/open?id=16JcFUhzwZq5AEmtXUuLdsFbXTuteOgFM","text":"Assets"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"41022","g_author":"1060867","g_event":"LD41","g_eventkey":"72","g_subevent":"COMPO","g_urlkey":"238838","g_title":"City&Racing","g_status":"USEAR3","g_place":"679","g_commentcount":"5","g_site2_node_id":"76779","g_hide":"N","g_has_icon":"Y","g_rqueue":"0","g_random":"0"},"nds":{"n_key":"76779","n_urlkey":"238838","n_parent":"73256","n_path":"\/events\/ludum-dare\/41\/cityracing","n_slug":"cityracing","n_type":"item","n_subtype":"game","n_subsubtype":"compo","n_author":"60867","n_created":"1523452116","n_modified":"1524413888","n_version":"242094","n_status":"COMMIT"},"node":{"id":76779,"parent":73256,"superparent":9,"author":60867,"type":"item","subtype":"game","subsubtype":"compo","published":"2018-04-22T16:17:12Z","created":"2018-04-11T13:08:36Z","modified":"2018-04-22T16:18:08Z","version":242094,"slug":"cityracing","name":"City&Racing","body":"It's time for another masterpiece from nizlow productions!!\nLet me present you, City&Racing!!!\n\n![title.png](\/\/\/raw\/3cd\/e\/z\/fee4.png)\n\nOk let's get real, this game ain't gonna go anywhere besides near the trash can.\nI found it difficult to really find a \"good\" shitty combination of genre but saddled early on some kind of racing game.
