Very nice game! Congratulations!
Nice Game :)
Great game, very stylish.
Great Idea, though I would have loved to see more tension between avoiding stuff and changing gears. Though at some point it became impossible with all those cacti/ rattlesnakes nearly taking all the lanes.
Love the use of the sax :) .
I played your game and can tell you that I had fun with it. Really did it. Nice sound choice and also really clever to let the car goes only according to the available gear. I liked it! Good jog.
Very nice game! It's really hard to learn the best way to drive this car. And the sax makes no sense but it's fun. Congratz!!
Took me embarassingly long to figure out how to go faster, but the funky jazz made up for it when I figured it out.
Awesome car huahuahuuah
Very good game!
MY poor fish!!
Epic saxo guy!
Loved the idea direction + speed in the same thing (i will think deeper on it)
Very cool game! This car is serious business! Poor fishes...
It took me a while to figure out how to play, but after dying miserably trying to accelerate with the up arrow key, I finally got it.
Not so sure I understood what's with the fish instead of a simple gas tank, but that's ok... hehe
Nice work!
Great idea with the switching and the sax to it. all in all i enjoyed playing this.
Great game. I loved how shifting gears contradicted with the road obstacles. Twi dun, tu tu dun (sax impression)
I love this game. The mechanics is amazing. Congrats. 70% of te way. I think you can evolve this concept. Congrats.
Really cool idea for controls!
Very fun game. Interesting game play mechanic. I played it quite a few times before I finally made it to the end. I hope you participate in the next LD!
Great idea! Nicely done!
I, too, remember you from the last LD, so I came to rate your game.
Great! Concept is quite original. Sometimes it seems like you'd get stuck behind a couple of cacti and the gear wouldn't let you dodge them, but other than that it was quite nice.
I liked the little gear shifting mini-game. Sometimes the cacti in the road could be a little overwhelming. 85% was my best score.
Really like how you mashup gears and direction... Nice entry. Congrats!
lol, nice game!
I laughed hard at the gameover screen. Didn't see it coming.
I think the intro should be made in the same level of detail as the game. Using pixelart at it raised expectations that did not relate to the actual game visuals.
My main compliment here is the parallel mechanics between driving and the gear. That was BEAUTIFUL! Great game design there.
@Floko, about the intro, do you think it was good or lacking? Because I personally think it was pretty rushed.
@Everyone yep. My biggest mistake in this game was surely the two overwhelming pieces of cacti. That simply goes against the flow of the game. Well, living and learning.
I saw your game on indiegames.com and just had to play it. It was so much fun. Great Concept. I loved how the Gameover screen was the first clear explanation of your goal. Good work on getting your game noticed too. My plan of silently hoping indiegames reviews my game hasn't been as effective :). Good show
Very cool mechanic. It was interesting how my attention was split between the road and the gearbox. Nice work!
Very nice game!
Wow. I am so glad cars like that don't exist! Fun game!
Gosh so many cactus... Roads are not the same anymore!
Two games in one, pretty cool concept! Also, the sound effects mysteriously gave a soul to this game... weird feeling.
Ahaha it's a very good game, it was very fun to play!
I finished in 34 seconds. :p

@TurboDindon We have a world record, folks. Seriously, what the hell good job!
It's challenging! My fish died. I love the saxophone, it just works so well, and the premise of the game just clicks.
really like this game. question, are the cactus and gear change random or placed? It would be brilliant if the cactus placement and gear box patterns matched up, giving the possibility of a perfect run if gear changing was done at the right moment.
A little bit repetitive.. but truly a game design lesson on how to mix two different gameplays to make a new innovative one. A must see :)
That was really nice idea and above all, it worked fine too!
Nice concept :)
Good idea for the two game mechanism in same time.
Still not sure why the road has cacti but not the desert.
A lot of fun regardless!
What a fantastic idea, full marks for innovation and fun, I love the gear change mechanic, I would love to see a post competition version of this myself, but either way good job.
