This was a fun game, nice job on doing all the work on this. I wasn't very good. I didn't get more than 3 points, I kept running into the sides. I liked the music, but agree with some others that the fail sound was a little too abrupt.. maybe it was because I kept losing XD

Music was cool but didn't seem to fit the game perfectly. Also, the sound that plays when you crash is too loud in my opinion, but I enjoyed the game itself.
thanks for the feedback! Yes, good points and things I will work on when/if I get round to developing the idea further.
Nice game! Would be cool if there were a few different maps and the audio is a bit too loud I think, but had fun overall!
Nice game controls felt a little hard but overall I tried my best to get points! Nice job!
I managed to get 2 points.
When you get hit, there is an obnoxious loud noise that plays and burst your hearing. Also you can't slow down so it's very hard to control.
Nice and cute racing game! Controls could use some work. But really loved this game and its artstyle. Reminded me of the old times. Would appreciate feedback on my game too!
Thank you for your feedback. I would like to go for touch controls in the future and get it on mobile.
That's a nice game and a nice approach to the theme. But I'm not kinda used to these games, it made me rage in 10 minutes, lol.
Thank you for the feedback and sorry if it made you rage :-)
Hey, very innovative idea and a great entry. I enjoyed playing it but was a bit confused in the beginning. I guess that could be a nice little mobile game in the end :)
Here is my first game jam submission. Check it out if you like:

This is a great game! Really impressive for a week’s work. I liked the music and the concept :)
thank you for the feedback!
A very fun a game. It was fun that the car drove by it self for the added challenge. Driving over the speed pads didn't feel like my car was going faster. Overall a great game!
Thank you for the feedback! Nice idea for the speed pads! They are actually just there to look nice. :-) The main difficulty is that it gets faster and faster, so speed pads would be something to avoid, which in turn would make an interesting obstacle. I'll add speed boosts and speed bumps to my to do list!
Pretty cool! I always enjoyed these kind of games growing up so I rather liked playing this :) I ended up getting to 17 points which I was pretty happy with. A bit of constructive criticism: I felt having both the cones and tires not being crashable was a bit pointless other than aesthetics, I think it would work a bit better if colliding with at least the tires was a game over. Maybe tweaking the exhaust particles to make them a bit more pixelated would be nice too. Other than those couple points, this was really fun to play, so good work!
Excellent feedback! Thank you! Good idea to add pixel art sprites to the particle system. Yes, I’ll have to think of how to differentiate the cones and tyres, the only difference is the sound and ‘weight’, but I suppose I could introduce some kind of damage system with the tyres. Anyway, thanks again!
YOOO, this game brings back so many memories with my old PHONEKEY racing game, I wish I could remember the name but the debris is a really nice touch. The game still has a lot of potential to be a full fledged racing game but I guess that's for you to decide. Really good game.
Thank you for your thoughtful feedback Zenith Games! I had to quickly Google PHONEKEY then realised it was obvious :-) My inspiration actually goes back to Super Sprint, which I used to play on my cousin's Atari ST. In fact, a local multiplayer version could be the way to go.
IKR, those were the days when PHONEKEY used to dominate the entertainment world. Again good work on your game.
Hey, I liked the game ! But I was reaaally bad at it.
Good job !
I'm not that good myself :-)
music is a bit load a volume slider whould be nice also the theme dosent really fit the game but the idea is really greate
thank you for the feedback, why do you think it doesn’t fit the theme? I think it needs some in game instructions to help players understand what they need to do.
maby this is the reason i donst think it fits but i think every second game hase the same theme idea that an end of a level is a new beginning you know? overall your game is almost great beside the audio
Played for a while. For some reason, I really struggled getting more than a couple of points. I feel like maybe there should have been a little more time to move around before it restarted. Maybe even a free mode where you could drive around without getting a game over, because I found it kind of repetitive restarting the game every time I messed up.
thanks for the feedback and ideas, some kind of health bar might work I suppose.
It looks good.But there is too little content, I think if you develop this idea, something may turn out well, good luck
thank you for the feedback!
Cool looking game. Controls really nice. Nice little game!
Very cool little game! :) It looks, plays and sounds really good! The game was pretty challenging (for me), I've tried it for a bit but wasn't able to get a score higher than 3 😅😂
Thanks for visiting Rick! Loved your scrambled egg game too!
Cool game, there's a lot of neat interactions here with the obstacles. I think it would be cool to have a respawn or number of lives instead of instantly kicking back to the start screen on death. Props for creating everything in a week, nice work!
thank you for the feedback and ideas!
