You need to 'Rewind' the car when the energy runs out in order to continue and get the best time

Did you write most of the code yourself and made all the assets from scratch?
I wrote all of the code and have used assets I have purchased.

Nice racing game with clear mechanics. However I do agree with thirosa72 with the reverse button idea, so when the car crashes there's an option to save the current run.

I really loved this entry, got stuck playing it for more time than i expected hehe! As a fan of racing games a think this ideia is really unique, it gives a very nice twist on the genre adding another completely different thing for the player to control and pay attention. I think that if you continue to work on this project (which i do hope you do), you should warn the direction in which to turn a little bit earlier, since a lot of the portals are right before some fast turning points and in the beginning it was a little bit difficult to make the turns. With more levels/modes and additional controls (like maybe going backwards or drifting, like other games) i would definitely buy and play it a lot!!

Very solid work and fun game, hope you keep it up!!

I really loved the game! Your idea of make the player split the atention between the mouse to rewind the engine and keyboard to control the car to not crash (and prevening of the player driving too slow) into something was super cool! The music fits perfectly with the game, it's not tiring to hear during the game. The only thing that I would like is some sfx of the car (wheels and engine).

This is such a cool idea! The driving physics felt great and making the jump was really satisfying :D Getting the mouse onto the right spot to wind was challenging sometimes but that was part of the fun for me

almost perfect, just miss the reverse button when i crashed

The concept was great! However I wish there was a reverse button since I crashed quite a few times in the light pole and thus couldn't move any further. Regardless, great game and loved the art style!

The game is super good but, I have only one concern is there's a theme in the game or I didn't have the volume up, anyways I really like the game my highscore is 1:20:64 try beating me :P

I'm glad you managed to complete it, and in a good time too ;) There should be some music and sound FX so maybe you had it on mute? Thanks for playing though :)

Okay that was fun! I love how the wind up mechanic keeps you on your toes, especially since the car does not accelerate while you wind it up which makes you manage your time more.

Amazing game with great gameplay.

I love the rewinding mechanic here! The game looks and controls GREAT. I have to say, I wasn't expecting much from such a simple concept, but you really blew me away!

Submitted

Superman 64.....but 1000x better, lol.

Interesting game concept, I like the constant management of winding up the car and driving. If the energy depletes faster and there is a need to wind up at the same time, it could be a very fun and challenging experience.

Haha re-windable cars, like those wind up toys in the early days are a great idea. Well done :)

Looks like we had similar ideas/ mechanics for the rewind feature :P
