I understand the 8-directional limitation of sprites, but that doesn't mean the car shouldn't be able to move when pressing the directional arrows. I'm sure the upgrades would have improved the car's performance... I get it. But I just didn't feel like torturing myself only to find out the car handled better after the initial grind.

I would:\n1. Have a delay between when the race track opens and the race actually starts. It was a bit jarring the first few times to take in all that information at once!\n2. Align the player's vehicle in the direction that the race goes. Always took a second to orient myself in the right direction. Either that or always have the race start on a \"down\" section of track.

Race one I was figuring out the keys and because the car points in a random direction, even though I guessed the controls right I went backwards.  The next 3-4 races I was still confounded by the random start direction, and as soon as I fell behind in those first few seconds that was it, I never got near another racer again unless I drove backwards for laughs and some interaction.  I also struggled with the walls, because the collider doesn't really align super-well with the sprite in some places.\n\nBut, after some races I started getting the hang of the controls, and also got a few upgrades.  I learned how critical those first few seconds are and was prepared to be facing the wrong way.  I got semi-okay at cornering, releasing gas as I approached the turn, and being extra careful about not hugging the walls.... and I was able to finish in 4th in my best race!  A big improvement from \"always always last\" that were the first maybe half dozen races.\n\nCool little rally-rumbler with some panache - nice work!\n","likes":0,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Gauphastus","author_uid":"1172210","time":"2019-10-09T23:14:51Z","epoch":1570662891,"modified":1570662891,"text":"Heh, that's pretty cool.
