Ok, so no end seems silly. You could at least allow the user to select the number of laps to the race... since you have them selecting road... the only available option. Also, the grass seems to slow down the vehicle WAY too much if you have ever raced and ended up heading through the grass... it should be more like ice than quicksand(how you have it now). Also there is no collision detection for the vehicles, which I think would have allowed for better fun, and you should setup some type of difficulty as the computer was WAY too slow to be challenging at all. Decent effort, but a lot of things need to be upgraded. I can confirm it works on Win 7 64 bit :)

The cars seem too big for some of the other tracks. Other than that not bad for 48 hours.
A bit more realism with the car handling and a lap limit plus win condition would add to this immensively.

Some sliding and stuff would have been nice, and an ending. Otherwise it's pretty good.

I like the idea, but I agree with previous comments that the car handling could use some work. Having cars collide with each other would also increase the fun factor. I thought the addition of the AI car driving around was a nice touch. In addition to the other suggestions if you were to polish up the AI driving a bit and add some kind of win conditions I think this could be a pretty fun little game. Nice work for the limited time frame. I hope you continue improving it.

Pretty but grass stops car too much i think.

Top job for 48 hours work, reminded me of an older game I used to play ages ago :D

Cute and fun, shame theres no real audio in the game like your usual LD's. THe shit hits the fan when you hit the verge however some games used to be like that :P. I quite like how there is no collision on the cars otherwise you'd be bumping each other off into the grass of death!

Nice take on the theme real cute graphics, a great LD.
