Getting a lovely outrun, space harrier and after burner vibe here. Sad it isn't very finished yet.

When it turned into a jet I was like "Whoa". So in other words, I liked the idea. It was a little hard to tell where the enemy jets would be shooting or coming at you from.

I really liked the warping land scape during the flight stage, but a couple of times it seemed like I was standing still or going backwards. Adding some clouds or random objects to the side of the road might fix this.

Nice 3D effect!
The gameplay reminded me of those old handheld electronic games with vacuum fluorescent displays. :)

Woah! This game is all shortlylike. But it's pretty cool, nonetheless. I never quite understood exactly what was happening and it just kinda... ended, but it's still pretty cool and a good start.

nice old school style racing effect that managed to surprise me when it gets "upgraded".

Space Harrier flashbacks.

Pretty good attempt, thanks for making this.

Nice! I love the scenes where you switch modes and go a level "higher". The rotating terrain also helps a lot.

Enjoyed it, loved the warping terrain. Good work.

I really like the graphics. The gameplay is obviously lacking a lot and it's way too short, but it's still pretty fun.
