The graphics are hard to read against the background, and the sound effects could use a bit of polish. Still, game itself is rather solid. Very nice for only 6 hours!

Nice game, simple and fun. The only thing that could be better is spawning fuel tanks, because they can sometimes spawn inside obstacles. PS I managed to travel 35 km :D
the AI and speed is brutal! fun tho--I made it to 31.13km
33km my record, too hard predict movement side of enemy cars. Simple and fun for some gameplayes.
I dig the classic top-down racer style. The sound was good, though I think the fuel pickup sound was a little long, and the graphics all fit with each other. I think my main issue was the random movement of the other cars. There was just no way to predict where or when they might move, so it just seemed like chance if I got struck or not. The game played quick, and I played a few rounds really easily in the time I might play another jam game once. Thanks for building and sharing this!
My best is 30 km. :D The AI is brutal: they turn too much when I'm close to them. D: I think they should crush on the signals too... would be satisfying see them crush like me when their are trying to kill me. Good game dude!
Fits the theme well and is pretty nicely done for just 6 hours. My two issues were the ear-blowing starting sound relative to the other sounds, and the impossible situations which regularly occurred meant i could just scrape past 18km. The music was ok too, nice job.
Great for 6 hours of work! I liked the overall aesthetic. The music, sfx and art were all cohesive.
I didn't really enjoy how quickly, and far, the cars could 'merge'. It seems like you have to always assume they'll merge 5 lanes over and hit you, which, for me, crosses the line from 'challenging yet fun' to 'difficult for the sake of it'.
I also wish the fuel bar was more readable. It's so far away in the corner that I had to avert my gaze to see it, and it also lacked contrast with the surrounding game.
Those other drivers are jerks! This was a ton of fun though -- great job for just 6 hours! I managed to make it 22km. Would be even better if the challenge increased over time, but a solid entry nonetheless. Thanks for sharing!
OMG I suck at this game xD but it is really nice! I like it a lot, considering that you did it just in 6 hours! Policemen absolutely suck more than I do at driving XD they keep crashing with me...
Really nice work :)
Not bad for 6 hours! That starting noise was a little too loud.
Nice work ; music and sound effects are good, the gameplay is rather classic, and quickly gets flappy-bird-boring. Keep up the good work, I'm curious about what you would have made, should you have used the whole allowed 48 hours!
It's probably good that I don't drive IRL. :D
Nice job in so little time. I wasn't so found of the music, and the movement of the blue cars were unpredictable, which made it fun but also frustrating at some point. Why not adding turning lights just on the cars like 0.5 sec before they move just to get a head up?
Nice game, it reminds me the old school game and watch :D
Nice and Simple
Well implemented game :) I like that the car slowly drifts back towards the bottom of the screen after you have accelerated forwards. One thing that really struck me as "bad" was the veeery repetetive engine sound every time you restart. This got annoying fast. It should be way shorter. Other than that, it is a nice game :) Well done!
Ah, another classic!
The game was pretty good! Not sure why the road had that weird brownish color in some places though. It would've been nice if the other cars stayed in their lanes and avoided the barriers in the road. Also, the SFX was rather loud. The art was decent, and the controls felt good. Also, it'd be nice if you added more car variants.
Good job! :smile:
34 km :) This is a lot of fun to play! The controls are very responsive, and the gameplay is easy to understand but hard to master ;) Love the graphics, really well-made pixel art methinks. The other cars behave really unpredictable, so it would be nice if you could also slow your car down a bit, so you can let them pass in front of you when they suddenly decide to change 8 lanes haha.
Well done!
Dat acceleration sound in the beginning tho
Pretty tough game, especially weaving in between obstacles. It scared me a number of times from the sudden death trying to squeeze in gaps. Solid game for the time spent, I will be forever scared of 8 lane highways.
Hah, seems like we had the same idea for the theme! :) Really solid entry, especially for just 6 hours. I liked the simple soundtrack and how all the art assets fit together to give it a consistent theme. I actually liked how unpredictable the other cars are, it really forces you to pay attention and react quickly. :) I would have liked some more challenge though as the game gets repetitive quickly (e.g. the car could speed up gradually as you play). Also, some more types of powerups would've made it more interesting. Sometimes the items would spawn on top of each other which makes it hard or impossible to collect the fuel tanks.
