The juicing on this game is truly phenomenal! I'm a sucker for dynamic music in games, so it was thrilling to hear the music intensify as I picked up speed. The only area I think could use some improvement is the camera smoothing. It's a little disorienting to wait for the camera to catch up when changing powerlines. That's just a small nitpick, though -- overall, it's a really enjoyable game!

I LOVED THIS. it felt a little bit like a rhythm game, was super fun, cool and simple soundtrack. I also love the way you did your leaderboard and immediately learned things from it. The reactive soundtrack when you hop on the top rail was very cool and satisfying. This is one I might seriously try to dedicate time to getting good at.
Great high score chase on this, the risk/reward of managing speed is really satisfying. Very cool presentation too, fits the theme and hits that "highway" style tunnel vision thing that Guitar Hero and Thumper do.
Really fun greed mechanics in this game, I liked the balance of knowing when to discharge and when to go for just a bit more speed -- though I always went for more speed and it didn't usually go well. Leaderboards is a fun meta aspect of it, I'm curious how some people put up numbers as high as they did!
Solid game, agree with a few others the camera movement could be improved a little. Nice job on the leaderboard and the music worked well with the game.
Wow, totally loved the vibe and idea! Felt almost like a rhythm game - really cool work with sound!
I think it was a bit too hard, but I have mixed feelings here - it would be much easier with less camera movement and more view from above... But it felt really good in terms of motion - just a bit too hard.
It was a really cool experience!
Cool game. I like how you can choose to stay on the line collecting more blue orbs to build power and possible score but only if you can handle the speed up. Feels very skill based and like the number of points all depends on your own skill and how much you are willing to do. Good work!
190 000, not great, but hey. xD
Very fast paced arcade style game, really cool!
And it's rare to see a working leaderboards in jam games, so kudos to you!
This was a lot of fun to play, mainly due to how fast you can go.
Fun game, made me realize how bad my reaction time really is... The camera movement could be improved by making it more instant, since it feels like the ball is dragging it along when you move lanes. Overall good game tho!
