Hi! Good control of the machine, but sometimes you fly over the edge. And the music would be more cheerful)

I escaped the loop

Cool game, nice control and music. Just always get stuck and need to reset. I hope there could be a functionality that transport me back to the begin of the lap without having to reset my lap count...

The controls felt good and I enjoyed the comments as I continued to loop through existence. I eventually broke the loop. Simple game and strangely deep.

Hello, the world needs more narrative racing games, thank you.

Super simple idea but really effective and meaningful, I did not expect to reflect on my own life while driving my car aha, well done! And loved the conclusion once you escape the loop

Ahh lovely, this was a nice experience. I like these medadtive narrative games.

Whoops, I crashed and fell out of the game in the second loop and had to restart :D The comments are nice and controls are good.

it was a meditative experience until i flipped my car

i liked the narrative very much but too many glitches my car kept flipping and getting on top of the wall. Overall pretty nice

The narrative is nice, controls too, but you have to restart everything when your car is stuck, I would have liked something to put me back on the track.

Very calming experience. I appreciate the commentary. Gives of a very chill "The Stanley Parable" atmosphere.

It's very easy to accidentally get out of the loop and also that that car slightly turns when pressing forward only. Would be nice to reset the car without losing the lap count as others have pointed out.

The controls of the car felt nice and the choice of music fit the mood of the commentary. Wished there was a reset option. Played this game surpisingly longer than what would make sense.

"Never be afraid to try new things or find new ways!" the game tells me while I go flying over the wall. This was pretty chill to play. I liked the part where you are literally stuck in a loop.

I'm so bad at driving that I accidentally escaped the loop before even completing one lap. I guess I need to get stuck in the loop in order to experience more of the story!

And there ends my journey of existential looping... scrn.png

japes 2020-10-07 20:38

interesting take on the theme :)

rosypenguin 2020-10-08 18:01

Wow, strangely moving for a racing game! The messages totally resonate with me. I only wish the controls were snappier, the slow acceleration/deceleration made it so I frequently crashed into the turns and flipped my car and had to reset.

kromeboy 2020-10-08 22:36

@annie-owl wow 16 laps!

I think that is more than my record :smiley:

blotosaur 2020-10-09 02:58

This was a weirdly enjoyable game. Kept breaking the existential loop, though haha. Good job!

ausstein 2020-10-17 21:15

haha "winscreen" maybe 30 sec after I opened the game :laughing:

Not even on puropose

quickest from loading a LD page to winning the game I ever archived :D
