Really well polished game, the music was awesome, really added to the fun. Great graphics and fun gameplay. Had a bug where i got locked into a section of track that was too low and kept going out of bounds. Overall a great entry.
Great game, and I am also just impressed on a technical level. The physics is really well tuned and the procedural generation does not look easy.
This was absolutely amazing and I didn't want to stop playing. There were some spots where the tracks got a little too close together and it was hard to go between, but overall it was a ton of fun.
The controls felt a bit weird but it was good once I got it!
Thanks for teaching me the controls on stream, the game is quite fluid and fun to figure out the best tricks to go for per random level. Charming execution to go with the visuals and gripping music.
Love the concept! Would be super fun as a multiplayer game! I played your game on stream today (ManishaGameDev), just dropping a comment + rating now :)
The music and SFX are absolutely great. The game mechanics and feel are perfect as well. I liked the graphics, but maybe a different art style could have been interesting, though that's probably a personal preference. Overall, my feedback is very positive. Well done!
Massive nostalgia value for old 2000 flash skater games and also for Junimo Cart in Stardew. Couldn't stop trying to move up that leaderboard!
Well done with the game! Very polished and nice all the way. It took some time to get the controls, but other than that it was great!
This is really good! It's fun to play, and I thought that the leaderboard and the little "Wipeout"/"repair"/"what Lakitu does in Mario Kart" animation were really nice touches.
It took me an embarrassingly long time to figure out I could jump.
Super neat game! I really dig the way the controls work, I was a little confused initially but you get so much control over what you can do with the minecart. Amazing work!
I really like the shaders and track length procedural generation! The controls were a bit confusing at the start, but understandable the more I played.
Super impressive for the jam! Getting a kart racer done with leaderboards and artificial intelligence that feels fun to play against is no small feat. Congrats!
The gameplay is so so good! Controls felt balanced and weighty, and felt really fun. The little giggles + rock music + the track sfx really pulled everything together. I did run into a bug where the tracks are too close to each other and would make me wipeout and go over and over in the same spot---right beside another NPC haha. Well done!
Really fun, love the procedural levels and boosting and flipping! Literally my only complaint is the speed loss when you land sometimes, everything else is beautiful
So much fun. Everything fits together really well from the audio to the art. Well executed and just awesome.
nice music and sfx!!! very funny game and very polish as well... the AI works nice and feels like to play against other players, very good job
Very fun and easy game to pick up and play, felt like the mobile game Hill Climb Racer with the physics. Overall, a 10/10 experience and I love the online leaderboards! Also, the bad AI was hilarious to watch complete the races lol
super fun and addictive, very easy to pick up an play, one of my fave leaderboard games I played so far. love the chaotic nature and the trick mechanic
The artsyle is also very fun
Reminds me a lot of hill climb racing lol. Going to download it now since it's been a while
The only reason I'm not giving this a full 5 for fun is because I think the randomness could've been balanced better
Also I thought that the track itself could've looked a little different. The readability of the visuals basically tanked whenever you had a track above and behind you.
Along with whenever there were other opponents around you. I kinda wish the carts looked a little different because it was easy to miss my cart in the shuffle.
All that said, the actual racing was amazing. I loved how you incentivised going for spins for speed boosts. Even if the rocks were random, getting hit by them was hilarious at the very least. Rocking soundtrack as well and great effects as well
Overall I'd say this was great for what it was. kudos to the entire team
Probably my new favorite game to play with friends as soon as you release a full version! Just amazing in literally every way, I cannot express enough how much I enjoyed playing this game. Your team absolutely killed it!

This is a ton of fun - Absolutely loved so much about it, and accidentally spent way too much time playing this morning 😅 It went from, "Let me finally check this out while I drink my coffee" to, "Oops, my coffee is now lukewarm, but I did manage to snag #44 on the leaderboard"
Despite playing for so long, I really only have one piece of feedback - I wish there was a quick reset button! Because this is a time-attack based racing game, I kept wanting to reset my run if (for example) I wiped out early on, but the only way to get back to the title screen seemed to be to hit refresh. Unfortunately, hitting refresh meant that I had to go through the slow-motion tutorial again, and the timer doesn't slow down during the tutorial! 😢 That meant that, no matter what, I was spending at least 20-30 seconds to reset and start a new run after a mistake, which felt brutal.
A corollary to that is that it felt a little bit strange to have randomized levels in a time-attack game - Sometimes it felt as though a certain track layout was just slow (for example, starting with a long hill climb), and you just had to wait it out until you could reroll a new track.
Those are jam-related nitpicks though - The game is still a ton of fun :) It feels great to play, the sound and music were great, and I had a great time with it!

Exceptional polish on this one, from the audio to the visuals to the cart mechanics themselves. Not to mention a suite of AI opponents with different skills. The amount y'all were able to jam into this game is ridiculously impressive!

Amazing game! It's fun, it's dynamic, and it gets competitive with the leaderboard. Audio works really well to add energy. Gameplay wise controls feel great.
Two minor issues: I find the blind jumps (when trying to land on road you can't see) pretty annoying, the camera should either zoom out or they shouldn't happen at all (by level design). Given the time constraints, maybe no holes after a big jump would have done the tick. I often get slow downs on landings, even on *perfect*. The boost most of the time makes up for it but I would love to keep my momentum, it would feel better I think.
Got a pretty nice run in the end :) run.png
That was very nice, only weird thing is, when the railroad seperates, sometime it brakes you out a bit^^
Nice work! Very funny vibes with the characters and the sound effects. It kept me coming back for more I kept playing the first level until I made it much further up the scoreboard from where I started. Only two things that I noticed were that it kinda felt like the physics of moving along the track were slower than the physics of jumping and flying around, which may totally have been intentional but then did make big hills quite punishing, and then that I couldn't quite tell how well I would do on the scoreboard based on how well I was doing in the race. It was really cool to see the seemingly procedurally generated tracks, but that was tough with a global leaderboard it felt like you had to get a good track to get high up there. Lots of fun, I could totally imagine playing this with my friends in local or remote co-op!

I had an amazing time with this game. Thank you so much for bringing it to the stream!
I have no complaints here and I am so in love with the sound of the rails :heart_eyes:
Absolutely beautiful work!

Helluva good time! My only gripe was that it's easy to lose track of your character when they bunch up, but super impressive overall! :heart_eyes:
Good racing with cool graphics. Probably, if a couple of mechanics and multiplayer were added, it would be great to compete with friends for an evening. Overall, good work! The particles from under the wheels look especially cool
