I laughed more than I should lol. Maybe I'm just a sucker for anything like Envirobear or Night Rider Turbo. Great game!

I love the sound design! Very neat idea.
Once you get up to higher speeds and have cars on both lanes it's really challenging. Nice game, like the idea!
Awesome graphics style! It's very sweet and nostalgic. Cool car explosion effect!
It reminded me of my last trip out of town, very dangerous. People, don't forget your glasses at home! The sound is chosen excellently, no jokes! Great job!
This is my favorite videogame adaptation of Lost Highway
Very realistic!
Please publish a web build!
:mailbox:This is a very innovative game! I found that playing without glasses was better than wearing them. It took me almost nine minutes to reach the finish line, and the gameplay of spinning around from time to time was very interesting, and I really enjoyed playing it. However, I have to be careful not to leave my glasses at home haha. Overall, this is a very good game, and the development team did a great job!
Well, EEEKKSSS I really felt like i was going nuts there. The feeling of impending doom was real. The driving feel was real. I sensed cars passing. I weaved. I bobbed. Then... I understood. Must. Go. FASTER. Till the arrow i hit and the light was upon me!
Good lord that's intense the faster you go. I never got to a delivery point here, but from what I saw in the traffic we're just completely going the wrong way up a one-way street. Surprisingly tense and fun, digged this a lot!
I really enjoyed the way it started out slow to let me get used to the controls. The sounds were pretty basic, but fit perfectly with the art style (very impressive for a compo game!!). Every time I went faster, I regretted it! Since I am quite nearsighted... makes perfect sense from my experience! It would be awesome to introduce a "squint" mechanic (not easy to implement) to get a clearer view for a short period of time before you go back to the standard view. This is one of the few compo games that I really enjoyed. Cheers. :)
This is great - feels like an old Atari game. I'm really curious how you were to make it feel so 3D and yet also completely 2D. I think there may be an issue with scaling/aspect resolution, there were black bars at the top and bottom that mostly covered the score. Also, the steering wheel felt a bit out of place, with a higher resolution and some white pixels along the edge. Otherwise, the graphics were really nice and cohesive.
This gives me anxiety, but in a good way! I'm not near-sighted, but I've driven my share of pitch-black roads in the driving rain, and that's not a dissimilar experience. Loved the way the car explodes if you collide with something. Great work and nice use of old-school 3D graphics -- easy to imagine this game being made in the 80s or 90s, with the core challenge being cleverly based on technical limitations.
The game is really difficult to play, but I like the idea, and I did have trying it.
This was really cool and I couldn't stop laughing. Also couldn't stop playing.. and couldn't stop going as fast as possible.
I'm old enough to remember when driving games looked like this. You nailed the feel, graphics (aside from the short-sightedness) and sound perfectly. Especially loved the driving and explosions effects.
Feel like maybe this would be way better or way worse if I had a few beers before trying it out again.
The car explosion effect was visceral, and the sound design was great, the whoosh of cars passing, and the incessant whine of my engine as I approached speeds unsafe even had I perfect vision
Which I did not
The graphics really sold the lack of glasses, and I appreciated the desert bus like drift so I couldn't stay straight easily.
Weirdly immersive considering the artstyle! Actually quite scary and moody, I know it's supposed to be mostly funny :D. Great sound design and very cool graphics.
This was a really interesting experience. It was so insane that I had to laugh a few times. Good Job!
