Fantastic humour, I laughed so much with all the serendipitous circumstances under which this unlikely racing-style comes to be. The continuous "deepening" after every round was hilarious, too.
Oh, also: :)
"Impossible."
"But it is...
Hilarious gameplay, though frustrating at time, I feel that's part of it. Like at the end I was going to win at all costs, I don't care if that makes me a crappy friend. I love purple guy though, he seems like a chill and reasonable dude.
Well done! That was a lot of fun and unexpectedly goofy.
Can't say that I expected to kick a car to the finish line when the lights turned green :D
That dialogue was great!
Well done! ^_^
The first twist of how to play was awesome, you had really good pacing there because I most definitely thought the controls were messed up. Even kicking around the car was well done because it still (mildly) adhere to car physics so there was a bit of skill involved in it. If you COULD align the car correctly with the road, it felt very satisfying to blast it.
Going deeper each time, yet another clever and hilarious twist.
And like others said, the jokes didn't get repetitive nor did you overstay your welcome. This game was an excellent package overall and probably will be one of the main ones I remember from this jam.
I admit it, I did kick my buddy's car at the last race... Had to get to the finish line first, you know? :D
Overall, a great entry. Good graphics, very good idea (even if a bit frustrating since it is super hard to push the car in the right direction with the character "sliding" off), funny dialogs...
Congrats!
I also I have to admire (if not reward) your attempt to explain how you used the theme, if for no other reason for the sheer audacity of it. I gave the game a high score for "humor" and a low score for "theme."
Overall, great work! I'd love to see this expanded. Maybe a multiplayer version?
Gameplay-wise, it's interesting, though it was quite hard to get used to the controls. I kept thinking that the direction in which I was walking would be the direction of the push, having to set the direction with the mouse additionally felt a bit unintuitive. Except that, it was quite fun!
I liked your pixel art and your music too.
I don't know what I would have done differently, everything was really good, nice work !
Really clever and polished (except for some of the controls).
Kicking your car is surprisingly fun and gets challenging in the last race. Very impressive piece of solo work.

But nevertheless, you nearly helped him get a shortcut xD
I feel like it might even be worth it to take that idea farther... the next round, your car is so deep that the wheels are sticking through it, it seems like that could lead to a whole new mechanic!
That said, I feel like the game makes good use of the kicking mechanic. The level design is exactly what it needs to be... the second level shows you that you can shove your car through other cars, and then the third level has a shortcut that consists of pushing through the other cars. It really doesn't need much else.
Overall, really good entry. Short, to the point, still has some super incredible moments.
I love how I was also able to kick the other car, giving me quite the advantage, ha! Seriously great work.
