I like it. Fun and easy to understand. The car dynamics feel great and the overall experience is good. I like the visual style and it's great that it has sound. You've even made a levels system! Congrats for the achievement!

Good game! The car is a bit slidy, but it is very intuitive and fun to play otherwise!

Fun and easy. Got to level 6 and still had fun. For some reason the music, albeit (or maybe because!) its simplicity is well balanced, great and it fits.

DRIFTING YAAS. The drifting is on point. Graphics are fun! Sound blends well. Good going! :D

Nice game... liked the drifting effect. Music was cool as well.

Nice game! Playing several level! Drifting effect - fun

It's not a car, it's a hovercar! Anyway it doesn't make the gameplay bad at all, I was just surprised... Bright graphics, all sounds and a level selection menu, you've very polished it!

Nice game, I had a lot of fun playing it. and it felt like it was very polished. good job :)

It might have just been a bug with the web player, but the car started rotating uncontrollably after level one, but I like the concept.

fun little game. found the driving a little too slippery, but that's a personal preference thing. loved the music. would have liked to see a bar for the remaining fuel instead of a number.

(this is super nitpick-y, but sometimes if you follow a road you run into a wall without much time to react, which feels unfair)

Please do not call your download "Windows.zip" because I will not be able to tell your game "Windows(1000).zip" from "Windows(1001).zip"!

Unfortunately I cannot run this Windows 64 bit exe on my 32 bit machine, could you add another build?

Simple idea and nicely executed. The music got a bit repetitive, I would have suggested not restarting the music when you die and instead just keep it looping.

Overall, you focused on one dynamic and crafted a few unique levels out of it which shows good direction and focus.

This game goes from "fun" to "holy fuck this is infuriating" (lvl 7). Love the music loop though.

Managed to get through all 10 levels, though I think fitting the car through 1-tile gaps is a bit much sometimes (leaning slightly more towards annoying than fun difficulty)

Other than that I enjoyed it, though I felt it a little moot to have to find the flag if it's always the same spot. A small nice thing would be being able to go directly to the next level without having to go to the level-select, and being able to click the area around the number too, not just directly on it.

I uploaded my gameplay of this game on youtube, you can find it here

Thanks for being part of the stream :)

For some reason when playing in my browser (Chrome on Mac), the car started spinning to the right in level 2 and still did in level 3. Holding left stopped the spinning, but I couldn't steer left, holding right-arrow made it spin even faster.

So I downloaded the standalone version :)

Love the sprites! Reminds me of the level-editor of Stunts4D for some reason. Music is cool too, but I little bit repetitive after the 20th time. I made it to level 10 btw. The fuel-meter is essentialy a timer right? Because it went down even when I was standing still. The control of the car could be a little less floaty, especially at low speeds.

With some small tweaks this would be perfect! Well done!

Controlling the car was nice. I'd be able to avoid hitting something in the last moments by a whisker. As @krishnasism said, "the drifting is on point", didn't feel out of control.

I don't think last levels were too hard. It was completely fine to me. Just a bit of caution and short key presses.

**Technical notes:**

As said by others, web version has a bug (car starts turning continuously after beating level 1).

When I downloaded the Windows version, the game run like a race (both moving and turning were uncontrollably fast). My note *(Windows 10)* has a NVIDIA GPU. Right clicking the executable gives the possibility to *"Run with graphics processor"* > *"Integrated graphics"*. The game then run at normal speed, even though *"Integrated graphics"* is marked as default.

Nice one. I like the way the car controls, even if the brakes are a bit strange. I would have love to really feel the difference between the road and the grass though :(

Anyway, fun little game. Good job :)

Your game is so hard and addictive the stressing sounds make it harder. Good entry!
