Man, this is hard. I eventually managed to make it to 60 seconds, although that was just by hitting backwards to stop myself from going forwards while I wondered what the terrifying shadow at the beginning was :P

@drprettypatty it was death. (jk its the particle effect shadows from the arena mode)

I liked the humor, the quips after dying and the tutorial were fun. Oh, and the premise, the title is what originally made me interested in your game. Cool idea.

@captaindreamcast Thanks.

Really hard, but the learning curve is there! I know it, I've definitely improved over time. Changing perspectives looks great and it gives you extra info on what is directly ahead. That feature also feels balanced as sometimes is better to have a third-person-like view while others it's best to change to inside view.

I found the steering too sensitive but again, it's something that one must get used to. The only thing that really bugged was that sometimes after a ramp you will instantly hit an obstacle. I know it is procedurally generated but it feels a little cheap.

Overall it is a good game, definitely want to see how this game evolves :)

@albertolm I appreciate the criticism, thank you. There is code that is MEANT TO spawn only clear areas after jumps but hey, it is the nature of Ludum Dare for these things not to work.

The collision system is pretty wonky, but solid game overall. Keep it up!

Please fix the collision system. The game looks cool and gameplay is also good.

Neat game! It's an interesting concept and fun to play. I didn't get a chance to try out the LAN arena, but that sounds really cool. Also, the music was amazing! The only thing that kinda bugged me was the edges of the infinite track; they were super unforgiving. Overall, really cool game!

The curbs! They do nothing! :D at least I can crash into lollipops and not die instantly haha.

The humour is super great in this game, and the music so good. The gameplay was nothing super special, but the game was still fun to play.

Humor is 5/5 - made me smile :D. But you need to do something with controls.

Really good. Liked the physics.

That was fun! I especially liked the music and humor. "Hint: Hints are useless. That's canon!" I made to ~80 seconds on my second run. I'll echo @Bookworm31 here as he has the same impressions as me: ``` Neat game! It’s an interesting concept and fun to play. I didn’t get a chance to try out the LAN arena, but that sounds really cool. Also, the music was amazing! The only thing that kinda bugged me was the edges of the infinite track; they were super unforgiving. Overall, really cool game! ``` Good job!

Your severe issue often causes problems because you can't buy tires everywhere. One day I was looking for tires and couldn't find them in any store. I was told that summer tires are not available. I ordered them online on the website about winter tires on this link https://tireplanet.ca/winter-tires without any problems. Since then, I have been ordering tires only there and you may try to use it.
