Idle clicker and racing game. Entertaining once I figured it out, but almost quit before I figured out that you needed to click the race in the menu item. It was fun to mess around with, and the mechanic is pretty well designed. A few criticisms: No sound. It would've been so much better with an idle rumble when the car was moving or slur when you bought gas. I had no idea the race listed in the menu was a button. Oh boy, the turning radius. It should at least be doubled. Also, yes, the collision could be improved. On that note, I was absolutely not expecting it to spin. That's a good feature.

Thanks for the critique @Hello-Coder, I didn't even consider that the race in the menu didn't look like a button. I'll try to fix that along with the collisions in a post-jam update.

I have to agree with @Hello.Coder, the race button looks like a high-score. You might want to add a line in the game description here to hint about that. And the turn radius is frustratingly large, a lot of stopping and backing up to go around corners. Nice addition with the minimap! And I got to say, just the thought of having to click a bunch to get gas while driving in a race is pretty fun :)
