The game played well, but I did have some inconsistency with the controls... the steering felt a little out of control at times, and I had an issue where only my w key worked and it made my car go backwards.

Racing is always satisfying.  \n\nThe drive feel is ok, the opponents AI seems pretty well done.  \nThe menus are quite ugly but very clear.  \nCollisions with other cars feel wrong, that makes them even scarier haha.  \nYou can skip laps with going back a bit behind the starting line and coming back. Sadly, this is the fastest way to complete a lap. However, doing this you won't collect any coins so this makes playing normally a better solution, which is great.  \n\nThanks for the game \ud83d\udc95","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Coda Highland","author_uid":"1012242","time":"2020-10-07T15:47:54Z","epoch":1602085674,"modified":1602085674,"text":"@doot \n> You can skip laps with going back a bit behind the starting line and coming back.

And those debts breathing down my neck ;) The loop tracks felt nice, I just wished at times there was sth like a boost or a HUD that told me where the others are (I guess I've been affected by some other racing game too much). Realizing that the other cars stayed on track, crashed at times and restarted purposefully, it is incredible (to me as a newbie) how you managed to finish this during the jam.
