F Minus 1 by automatonvx
Futuristic Racing in a tribute to F-Zero and MarioKart

Stuck in a loop.. err In Racing games you go in a loop how about that? Sure why not.
Instructions:
Left Mouse or left CTRL or Z or N to accelerate, Right Click or ALT or X or M to break/reverse. A, D or Left/Right Arrow to steer. Also supports gamepad (at least XBox controller is all I tested)
You have limited Health and lose it by crashing into walls, if it all goes, its game over man.
Added a WebGL version as it actually seems to work fine and visually only a few things (shadows mainly) look a bit worse.
Updates
v1.01 Bug fix if returned to Main screen after playing and chose another course game would break. Added Web Version and so added alternative input keys that don't conflict with browser shortcuts, since that would make the browser version unplayable.

The AI is way too good though, I had no chance of catching up once they started flying away ^^
I'm inclined to agree the controls needed a bit more polish to be perfect. The level design was very well done (and I loved the way the maneuvering was on inclines and declines - the tilts felt very dynamic!), and seemed like perfect tracks, and I think it was the lack of a way to drift that made the sharp corners harder to make. There are a couple spots as well where the camera is obscured by the walls of the track, which makes maneuverability harder.
Mechanically, I loved the variety of buttons you'd allow for so I could play in the most comfortable manner! :D
I think I liked track two the best!
