I like how you worked with the theme. I made it to round 5\/4 and won 4 of them. The NPC drivers got crushed by a bullet turret and oil slick combo! My suggestion would be to limit the area the NPC can place traps. Most of the traps they put on the map for me were on the extreme edges. Overall awesome work!","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Hugimugi7","author_uid":"1032224","time":"2018-04-24T13:36:42Z","epoch":1524577002,"modified":1524577002,"text":"Nice idea, but can be easily exploited.","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Hakita","author_uid":"1059758","time":"2018-04-24T13:37:43Z","epoch":1524577063,"modified":1524577063,"text":"Very fun idea and good execution.

I did notice quite some bugs (for example I placed a turret near the start and it kept killing all of us :P) but I had quite some fun.

Definitely a good, fun concept. I think maybe the AI wan't quite robust enough to get past any of the traps. Could the AI place traps? After the first race it seemed like a bunch of traps spawned that I didn't place, but no one placed any after that first one.
