Nice game with awesome visual design, smooth graphic effects and plenty of fun memes. I like the idea of playing as a racing snail and competing with other snails with the speed of kcm/h.

Love from Lowergryph.Inc
What a strategic racing game lol. There are plenty of items and cars to choose from. Really enjoy the overall feeling of nfs series like, the sense of speed on a snail
Loved the UI and overall mood! Good job!!
Haha the art is SOOO GOOOD! Glad to see someone else made a car game :). This looks like a keypad phone game.
Incredible atmosphere!
Great retro art. A lot of cars, items and worlds to choose. Had fun, very interesting concept.
Love the art and the incredible attention to detail - all the options for vehicles, maps etc . very cool.
I struggled a little with the learning curve, especially around obstacles and extras, very cool though - great job with the retro aesthetic.
Love the music and the graphics. The game is fun and encourages you to try other characters and items. I had a weird bug where if you went from the level select screen to the main menu the music would start again and stack multiple times.
The retro-car-racing-game feel is great. I especially love the art. The music is also on point.
Cool game idea! I liked it! Good job!
I saw someone left a link to this game in the comments from my project without much explanation or feedback.
Game looks great. But at the time of posting this i see you have 0 ratings given and 18 ratings received...
If you want your game rated, please play and rate other games as well, don't try to abuse the system and people's kindness.
if this is someone else just posting the link to your game randomly, then I apologize.
@multiplexor In fact, we are also quite confused. I am certain that none of our team members know this Kirass. We are located in GMT+8,and most of my team are currently resting. Those who are awake are busy fixing bugs and creating some promotional images (like me). After submitting the game overnight, everyone still has to go to work, so we haven’t started experiencing other authors’ games yet.But I assure you, we wouldn’t do something so weird to seek ratings.
I noticed that this person commented on our game and your game consecutively within two minutes. @Kirass Maybe you didn’t mean any harm, but you must explain why you did this
What @multiplexor said.
EDIT: Sorry, forgot to give my feedback...
Enjoyable game though I didnt manage to duck at all :laughing: Still won though :grin:
@AegisFate I apologize then :D
It just looked weird to me and thought it was some sort of getting free votes scheme! I see you now have some ratings you have given so all good!
Happy LD! Will come back later to rate and play and give some feedback <3
Amazed that this was done in such a short time, just considering the number of assets and so many stages. That's so wild!
Cool game, only found it because of the whole weird commenting situation lol. Glad I did, it's visually phenomenal. Some moments that were slightly frustrating involved obstacles that needed me to duck, some weren't avoidable due to too many being too close together, it felt as though there was little counter play on my part.
I super duper love the UI design, I think it's very charming and sorta retro! One of the better games this jam for sure!
I loved the look and overall presentation, especially the UI. It all felt very polished and well made.
Gameplay was confusing at first because the mechanics weren't properly communicated anywhere. I was totally lost for my first few races because I had no idea what the items did or why the mouse in the airplane was so much faster than me. It took some trial and error to learn the mechanics.
I liked how there were a lot of car (snail) choices, but it might have been better to have the player progressively unlock them as they win races because the vehicle choice is important for winning certain races. I still don't know what effect friction had but I figured out that the shirnk up cooldown stat was the most important vehicle stat since it was (or felt) impossible to win some races because of all the hazards.
I tried to do the final race with x12 but I kept getting obliterated by t-mobile business cards.
I think zooming the camera out so you can see hazards in advance would be better since you sometimes end up in a situation where you have to react not to the hazard right in front of you but the ones that might come after it because if you shrink too early or too late you might not recover in time for the next one.
We got a single line of link to this game under our game too. The visual is great. Good job.
To those who came here through link posted in the comments:
Thanks to @burchyn for helping us understand the full picture. Simply put, a team from a project called Laverino has been copying and pasting similar feedback in the comments of many projects without giving a rating. I don’t even need to post their link because when you use the Grade filter now, they rank very high. According to someone of thei team's response, pasting our game link everywhere was an “accident.”

Our team just wants to enjoy LudumDare like everyone else in the community, playing each other’s games and giving sincere comments and ratings . To reiterate, we would never do something weird like this to get ratings. It’s not cool, and the team are upset that our game got involved in this.
Thank you for still giving us feedback in this commenting situation @loco @scrumblob @xparker @multiplexor
Sucks this happened to you guys as you'll probably get some 1 star reviews out of spite from angry and confused reviewers. I imagine this "accident" is botting gone wrong where they used the link to your game as the body of their mass commenting script instead of as a target. @Kirass also left a similar comment on my game and it's obvious they didn't even play it.
The visual and audio and completeness of this is shocking. The try on taking the snail race reminds me of Turbo the movie.然后我一看美工有做了Sustaining的国人大佬啊那没事了。祝大佬获得好成绩！！
@skleembof We have already emailed @pov about this , hope this weird situation doesn’t affect everyone’s mood in participating in Ludum Dare
Awesome amount of content for a jam game. I was a bit confused why it kept slowing down but i didnt notice to obstacles as such. Quite the fun game.
Love the retro art style and feel. The different maps are neat and I just love how high quality and consistent all of the graphics are. Nice job!
Blown away by the art, polish, UI. Love the creativity of the obstacles (especially the cat) and the items. That is sooooo much content for a jam! Well done team!
I love the art on this, its really great. Gameplay is a little bit wonky with how you have to time the usage of shrink/items and takes some getting used to, but overall really good work!
Great art, great use of theme
I didn't know that I needed Initial Snail in my life, but now I know. I loved the little models for the Snail version of the AE86 and the WRX. It's got a great style and look to it, although I was a little bit confused on how to deal with some obstacles as they sped by so fast and kept forgetting to put on items.
Very cool, I wasn't sure how a strategy racing game would work, but it work great ! The visuals are appealing escpecially in the menus (love the spinny cars)
Love the style! Very nostalgic. Gameplay was a little confusing at first, but I got the hand of it after a race or two. I like the various items needed to bypass hazards. Very cool!
ah wow first i noticed the stylish screenshots and the name was very interesting
then I entered the game... wow, stylish menus, typography, iconography, instant wipeout-vintage-racing-game-feel which was amazing
wait, HOW MANY TRACKS ARE THERE? HOW MANY CARS TO CHOOSE FROM? WHAT IS THIS MAGICK HOW IS THIS DOABLE IN 72h
very nice job, I expected somehow a true 3d racer underneath so I was a little disappointed by the gameplay but to pull that off would be indeed a herculean effort! i was very happy with the experience and i'm super impressed by the result, congrats !
Extremely well polished, love the idea and the racing was fun once I understood what was happening. The first few "shrink" obstacles weren't obvious, as moving at speed meant it was really difficult to see the text. Perhaps a static early warning (at the edge of the screen) would have been a better way to communicate what to do? Overall, great style in the graphics, menus and music. They look incredible good for jam game!
Amazing game, with a lot of content for a jam! I loved the theming of mixing snails and race cars :joy: Keep on making games!
Very fun idea!
This was a lot of fun. The graphics were great and I love a good cat :cat2:. The audio fit well and suited the theme. My only complaint was the main gameplay loop is a little simple. But I know lots of people enjoy these types of games, so probably just me.
