Dust and Death by SneakyLemon

The intense heat of the merciless post-apocalyptic desert is turning people into zombies! Drive forward and don't look back, lest you turn into one yourself.
Hit water barrels along the way to cool down! You will only last about 10 seconds without cooling down.
Zombies piling on top of the car increase the speed at which you overheat. Run into walls or water barrels to throw them off.
Controls:
- WSAD - movement
- Enter - start/restart/continue
Known Bugs:
- Reverse steering is, well, reversed - ran out of time and couldn't fix it

Nice job!
The first few runs I didn't even realized there is text in the upper right corner. Due to the focus necessary to control the car I never found the time to check for the timer or the multiplier even after I noticed it's there. May you could make this two values more visible to the player.
Also it's quite hard to catch up if the car crashed into a wall, due to this I basically stopped playing and waited for the game over once I crashed.
The zombs were everywhere, but I got home safe.
Would have been nice to get a little extra thing to do / hit (explosions? guns?)
BTW: I think the reverse rotation is inverted
