I really dig the mechanics in this game! Some complex controlling. The dog is hilarious! Great flat style driving simulation!

LOL! Shape shifting quantum cats. What more can I ask? Nice work!

I like the cat's face!--

This was a really fun game, the car mechanics worked really well. Good job!

I like the game and the concept, only real complaint is the gear stick is a bit fiddly to move at times

Nice driving! I wasnt very good at changing the gears quick enough. Might be easier if I could just click the gear I wanted to be in. A novel idea though and the cat is a nightmare!

Those cats genuinely freaked me out a couple of times! Great presentation and interesting gameplay. The driving controls seemed slightly odd (turning at low speeds causes the car to stop?) but once I got the hang of it I did pretty well. Good work!

Haha this cat scares the ... out of me... I had the headphone on and the sound was loud from my latest playlist shuffeling... great idea with changing the gears to collect the little gizmos... grabbing the cat is a funny thiung... good job I was laughing about myself of failing to do it right... I had two beers with some frieds and I was not able to steer the car in a good way... Don't drink and drive! Good job!

The cat was cool, but it would have been nice to get rid of it. And I don't know about the steering, pretty soon it just didn't seem to react to my input very much. Other than those things though, an interesting driving concept!

Cool concept, 6 different shapes immediately felt a bit to hard though.

That felonious feline is the stuff of nightmares! =)

I like the mechanics a lot but it felt pretty awkward using the mouse to change gear especially on a laptop trackpad (Would have preferred key mappings instead).

Wow, the graphics are amazing.

I would add some shortcuts in the keyboard to select the gears (it was really difficult to drive, change the gear and dodge those nasty/adorable cats at the same time :) ).

Well done!

For a game that has solid presentation, the controls were unrefined mess. The fact that turning would very quickly reduce your vehicle to a halt was frequently annoying, especially when trying to collect shapes at the opposite end of the road. The gear-shift allocated to the mouse, AND requiring natural gear-shift movement, was terrible when I needed to also focus on the road at the same time.

I was not able to discern an end state to the game, which meant that the cats felt like mere distractions, and the shape collecting was pointless ways to increase points. In other words, I felt the game was without objective.

To be honest, I do genuinely there's something interesting going along with the game. The need to switch the car state while collecting things is interesting. When the car does move to full speed, collecting shapes actually becomes fun. But because of how disjointed the controls feel, I felt like I was fighting the game the entire way through.

Fun, funny game! I included it in my video compilation series of Ludum Dare games, if you’d like to check them out :) https://youtu.be/8gYXle65h9c
