Even the opponents don't have bombs that's how you know this race is rigged. Speaking of the AI though, it's pretty great to watch them fly out the gates.\n\nThere were a few runs I had where I managed to get all the bombs off me in one go. Couldn't figure out how to do it though. Sometimes I could even do just running very slowly into the barricade.\n\nOne thing I really liked was how you just had diegetic tutorial panels built right into the stage. Can't say I've ever seen that in a racing game before. It fits well because the speed isn't too intense so you have time to read it anyways.\n\nThe game is flexible and I had fun doing stunts or trying silly things like racing across the mountains as a shortcut. I'm looking forward to seeing your magnum opus where you combine all the mechanics from your previous car games.","format":"md","likes":2,"spam":"N"},{"id":798025,"author_name":"Nate_Bit_Games","author_uid":"nate-bit-games","epoch":1649207113,"text":"Nice concept!
