Thank you for the game :-)
I feel like I'd prefer it if the control directions were relative to the screen/map rather than relative to the car. That may just be me.
@eduard-hauer We noticed that was a problem a bit too late to get a proper solution in, but if you hit the "r" key, it'll drop the car back at the initial spawn!
As others have noted the breaks felt very weak, I also drove off the bottom of the menu and got lost.
I especially found the later levels where I had to re-tread my steps became quite tedious, I think I would have enjoyed it more with some mechanics that pushed me to take risks with my driving something like a time limit or de-buff system where your car gets fixed in accelerate mode for 1 roundabout or something
@copito Originally I wanted to have varied layouts you'd have to drive through to mix things up, but those kinds of powerups/constraints are a really good idea. The brakes were definitely bit of a mistake: I wanted to add in a handbrake, but ran out of time to get it feeling good and just added in a reverse (which accelerates half as fast as forwards) instead, which doesn't really cut it. Could've used some tweaking if I hadn't done it last minute haha
