Well Done! :)
Somehow the control felt a bit laggy and difficult. I'd try to make the car turn a bit sharper and with less inertia.
Also I'd suggest decreasing the size of the hitbox for the car. It can be frustrating to lose the game when you barely touch the pixel of the end.
Nice job!
this was the best i could do. i liked the challenge of controlling the car, though i think most of that challenge was my impatience :P
It seems like something lets you extend your time, perhaps distance. It might be nice to give the player a stronger sense of where that line is so they can better balance the speed versus carefulness tradeoff.
Oh, and are the levels completely procedural? Good job. Great game all around!

Nice job!!
Has a clear retro aesthetic and a simple but effective mechanic. Well done!
It would have been nice to be able to reverse. That would have saved me in a couple of places.
The insta-kill on slightly touching the edge wasn't great though.
Since you're in the extra maybe consider adding some music? That would improve experience even further. Nice job anyway.
Thanks for submitting your game to my stream, here's a recording in case you'd like to see it: https://youtu.be/hPPKMGZGGDs
