The camera gimmicks in Level 5 captivated mee most, though. It was actually super fun to quickly switch up your way of thinking about navigation.

I liked the combo of low-poly graphics and cool video effects, it created some very interesting and immersive visuals. Nice breakbeats, too! I also liked how each level used the poor signal idea in a different way - slow loss of vision, fixed camera, and the total blackout. It made the game more varied and let you explore your idea more fully.\n\nWhile I did really like the gameplay conceptually, in practice it can get a little frustrating - driving at high speeds with poor visibility is very hard and I often had to reset a level just because I got lost. I know the challenge of the game is trying to work past the video errors, but I think there are ways you could make the experience more consistent for the player. Maybe give them ways to fend off the poor signal, or get a bit of info about the environment (a radar maybe?) Just an idea. An easier solution which would definitely help would be to make the track visuals more clear - higher contrast between the road and surroundings as well as less clutter around the edges would make it easier to discern what direction you're supposed to be going, especially when you start losing details.\n\nReally nice work! You've really made something brand new out of this genre.
