I like the concept.. Also very cool music U were also able to add car selection so great job A little bit hard to control at first though but once u get used to it.. its a good game

I want to like this game more than I did. The graphics look really nice. The music and sounds are pretty solid. It seems to have a decent gameplay loop in place. I just found the controls to be really janky and that often resulted in the gameplay being more frustrating than it needed to be. If the controls were more responsive, and the starts felt more deterministic, I think I would be more motivated to keep going through the (frequent) retries.

I was very confused with the controls at first, expecting regular car steering controls. it took me several fails to realize the controls switch "lanes" instead of steer directly. I think some clear marking on the road might help communicate that the game is about switching "lanes", instead of traditional racing.

Smooth gameplay (minus the janky camera). Switching lanes is smooth, though could be more immediate. Level art is fun, reminds me of a themed mini-golf course. Once I learned the course, it was definitely very easy. I found those corners and quick manoeuvres to be more fun, more switching lanes would be great in the future! Got the rocket ship which I'm happy about :D

Nice stuff.

Pretty good stuff!

The only major gripe I have is further down the track there is a red obstacle wall in the middle, but its ramped up to look as though you could drive up in like a jump.

Tis the murder obstacle, I learnt my lesson.

Good job though!

The graphics are pretty nice and all feels pretty polished. For me the issue was mainly that a lot of the time you don't really have enough time to see the upcoming obstacle before you would hit, due to a previous corner or the camera being blocked by something, so it ends up being about memorizing the layout, which for me is less fun than the standard infinite runner style reaction mechanic which woud also require random courses really. Maybe memory games just aren't for me.

Cool game! I liked the racing against your ghost aspect of the game. It was fun but I found the steering quite sensitive and crashed a bit. Overall, the game felt very smooth and well polished. Good graphics and great music. One thing was at the start of a race it says "ready, ready, go" instead of "ready, set, go," I'm not sure if that was intentional or not but that's just a very small thing. Good submission! Nice job!
