It looks very polished and enjoyable, graphics work very well. The user experience was a little confusing in the early game, with me wondering why my car can't turn (i'd expect the car to follow the track). Or at times I was wondering what's the goal of the game, for instance on level 2 i'm told to turn, like ok, but why? It could have been clearer for the player to have a clear goal to reach, to make it obvious \"ah, I should turn\". Also, the victory screen is not very celebrating, leaving me in a state: \"wait, did I win?\". With these details out of the way, I can say it is a solid and fun puzzle game, extremely well implemented!","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":1172196,"author_name":"nekowei","author_uid":"nekowei","epoch":1759924790,"text":"The game feels very complete, with clear UI and intuitive controls that make it easy to understand what to do.
