Very fun driving game, though I feel the first level was unnecessarily hard (I almost gave up before getting to level 2). Levels after that are much more fun. Really like the bounce/reflect wall mechanic. Controls felt great

Very frustrating (although that's kinda the point, right?). I feel it could work better in a 2d/top-down kind of vew, but other than that—good.

First level seemed like the hardest, the rest were plenty of fun though! I really like the handling of the car, it's very satisfying when you really nail a corner. One of the levels (the one with 3 reflection barriers) I kinda cheesed by just driving out of the track and around to the finish :P Very neat concept though! Managed to finish all the levels :D

Good take on the concept/theme. I agree about a top down POV working better with what you have, I had a lot of trouble estimating distance of each item on screen and how hard I should be steering. Overall great job, lots of potential here!

The first level are a bit hard, but it's really fun to drive with this controls. The art are simple, but do the job well.

Pretty difficult but fun! Game feels well polished and I love the car's bouncy suspension. Good job!

wow, this is really fun and silly! i actually really like the perspective, it IS harder to read but i feel like that enhances the effect of how terrible and janky the idea of directing a blind driver from the outside is. i do agree that the first level seems to require a lot of precision that most other levels don't demand from you. also, the first level doesn't last nearly long enough to get through the entire audio clip.

Nice simple and fun. But I wish there was some background music.

Thanks everyone for the feedback! Really appreciate the love & totally understanding of the critiques everyone's been sharing. I'll definitely adjust these things if we continue to move forward with it. If anyone is interested in figuring out how we made the car however, we made a [Blog Post](https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/49/driving-blind/$273631) that you can check out for some juicy deets!

Love your game! The camera is following very well actually. The graphics are great :smile: somehow this reminds me of the driving lessons spongebox would have sometimes hahaha

Very good feeling when controlling the car! It's so interesting to find different way to beat each level (e.g. driving through the boundary and directly go to the finish line lol)

Simple and fun, neat graphics and drifting mechanics.

It was somewhat difficult, but I enjoyed it. Graphics are good and I like the voice acting as well.

Nicely implemented car physics for such a short time. I personally found the reverse walls frustrating because they reverse left and right, so I gave up on that level with 3 of those walls.

Amazing, chaotic fun. The gameplay was addictive enough to keep me playing through right until the end. One piece of constructive feedback I have is that the order of levels could be adjusted, as I feel like one of the early levels is a little more challenging than the later ones. Overall, I had great fun with this :)

I HAVE MY LICENCE, MOVE OUT THE WAY !!
