Difficult for me, but fun enough. I like the AI opponents, and I like to see they have same troubles as I have :) Was not able to pass waterfall after multiple tries :( I know it shall be possible, just cannot find the valid order.
Good look on jam!
It's the only racing game I've seen so far in LD41. Good job! It was difficult for me to control the car properly, I guess the physics and stuff is hard to develop. During my playing, I found something that propelled me very high and I won the race easy. I didn't quite understand the LD41 theme on your game unfortunately.
Overall it was fun. The physics were sort of a problem for me though. You're just too floaty and so a minor mistake and you just aren't on the ground again for 10 or more seconds. That said, it makes it sort of a puzzle, which is an aspect that I kind of liked. I also really wish you didn't press the same button to rotate that you pressed to accelerate. I'm not sure what the best layout would be, but I found myself accelerating and then suddenly flipping over because I had lifted off when the ground changed angle. And you rotate so fast that it's hard to control. I also wish I wasn't constantly hearing the sounds of other cars jumping. It gets old fast.
The art style is nice, though. I thought it was generally quite nice.
Nice racing game! Preety dificult gameplay and wacky obstacles! I didn't liked the audio. There were just a few sound fx and the jumping sound wasa really high.
Also someting happened to my car with the bouncing mushroom:

Nice entry!
The controls were challenging but in a fun, ridiculous way! I like this a lot.
Nice combination of a racing and platformer game. You did a very good job on the enemy cars! Implementing well balanced and natural feeling CPUs can be a challenging task, especially in such a short amount of time.
Nice work! The art all fit together very well. I liked the trails behind the racers. The physics felt a little strange; It was very difficult to control my car, and controlling the car while in mid-air didn't seem possible. That said, the strange controls added to the ridiculousness of the experience. I like the idea of a platformer racing game. Keep it up!
All the bugs and whacky controls made it funny. The visuals were nice and clean looking.
The game is fun to play :D I managed to finish it. Although it said I was 1st I then finished as 2nd haha. I liked the idea, but I guess it could use a little polishing. The level design was good and pretty challenging.
Wow! A crazy game, I really enjoyed it. It's great that there is a tutorial that is rare for LD games. Good and stylish graphics, which gives a special charm to what is happening. I liked that the track is long and varied. :race_car:
A small bug is that the machines are glued together.
I took the second place in the race!
Well, making a physics-based game for a LD is courageous... :) But it was fun. Maybe slowing a bit the rotation of the car when in air would help making the game more controllable ? Also, I pressed space when falling back on the mushroom and did a really big jump... All I had to do after was to press forward to reach the end of the race. I wonder if I missed something ?
Great game. Those is the most hilarious entry I've played this Ludum Dare. With couch co-op and a few more levels I'd pay for it.
Ha I had so much fun playing this! Made me think of [Elasto Mania](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elasto_Mania) in a very good way. I loved how weird physics glitches would happen that could help or hinder you, like your wheels getting stuck on the wrong side of your car, or one time when I got locked inside of another car's bounding box and it kept jumping off of me until we were thousands of feet into the sky before we detached. Really fun and full of emergent behaviours!
