Drift around in a car, and maybe more??

WASD or Arrow Keys to drive

the downloadable windows version has correct shadows, and should be easier to see where you are in space.

This is such a unique idea! I loved whirling around and trying to hit the balls. My only comment is that at times it was a bit hard to see whether the car was in the air, or on the ground (probably because of seeing the 3d world through a static 2d camera). Overall, super goofy and fun game, I'd love to see more of it :)

Pretty cool idea! Loved the physics movement and driving up the ramp. Very fun to play around with. The graphics were very nice as well. My one piece of feedback would be to possibly add a shadow to the car so its easier to see when your off the ground and on the ground. But otherwise great job!

Haha, nice! It looks slightly unfinished, but on the plus side, very cool idea. I am certain that with more levels and things to do, this could have become a great game. Maybe post-jam updates?

Pretty simple, it's relaxing to not have an objective and just have fun for a minute.

Feels like a desk toy, amazing job!

@str0nkyk0ng @zen Thanks! For the record, everything has shadows (as in the gif), it's just that the graphics in the web version fade them out very quickly. The downloadable windows version has the correct shadows.

@indigo Thanks, and you're right! I put it together in about an hour before the deadline after a bunch of other attempts for various things didn't work, haha. I'll revisit it as a postjam for sure.

Enjoyable little toy, wish there was a goal but it's super cute, I love the color palette!

Really nice wasn't 100% sure how I should describe this then saw in the comments somebody else used the term desk toy and it stuck me that it was what I was looking for. Lots of fun to just play around with and enjoy some down time.

Looking great! I played for a while and quite some work went into this, obviously. Some things to improve next time: a clear goal/what to do/rewards; and it's hard to see if the car is on the ground - maybe a grid or some objects on the ground for the player to have better spatial awareness.

Overall solid tech demo, was fun seeing how hard you could crash into something

I'm still trying to figure out maneuvers, it's very good mechanical

Cool little toy, it's really satisfying to fly around. I hope you do keep working on it after the jam because it could be really fun to jump through hoops or engage in a 2-player Spincar battle. The particle trail looks really nice and does double duty in helping the player understand which direction they're moving, which I thought was clever.
