Its fun to try to speedrun since youve got that system set up and the truck getting thrown around all over the place as you move is great lol. The truck is a bit too difficult to control since its based on tapping. Making you able to drag off it in order to stop moving (rather than just stop tapping) or adding hotkeys to control it would make it easier. Music and art compliment the gameplay nicely and are great\n\nManaged to get 47 seconds\n\n![game1.PNG](\/\/\/raw\/595\/84\/z\/5ab9f.png)","format":"md","likes":4,"spam":"N"},{"id":948697,"author_name":"Sass","author_uid":"sass","epoch":1683046569,"text":"Cute style!

Does \"Simulator\" mean \"HTR+ Slot Car Simulation\"? That looks really impressive. I'll take your comparison as a complement. :smile: Sorry about the motion sickness. I'm not happy with it either, but the fixed camera was too hard to see on mobile. :slight_frown: With more time, we were thinking of a mostly fixed camera which pans when you got close to the edge of the screen.

The game orbiting so heavily around just going fast had surprisingly good game feel for just being a two button game. There were a couple points where I missed a stop I really needed to make and had a good time just zooming around the track to try to get back to it asap.\n\nThe sounds that were in there were great, I would have loved to see some additional car sounds.
