Great idea and concept, retro games always feel fresh.

Amazing how much juice you squeezed from pico8, I really like the control, feels real good. The graphics are great, and so is the music. I had some fun trying to outrun myself. Kudos!

Great game! Looks great to play with friends, congrats!

The game looks great! superb graphics and good old chiptune sound! it reminds me to the great “Micro Machines” racing saga. I’ve only played solo but I’m sure it would make a great multiplayer game.

Just to mention that I had a bit of trouble to figure out the controls at first and the fire action behavior, but I finally managed and enjoyed it.

Well done!

Great work! Reminds me Rock 'N Roll Racing, which was one of the gems back to time :)

This game's really polished. Loved the music and sfxs. Could be a really fun party game once the pandemic's over.

Was pretty damn fun  :) I like the simple controls, you can get pretty good with practice

Fun game, great graphic and sound. Controls are kinda the point of the game, and opens the door to this being a great party game. That said, it's really difficult to tune in with the automatic steering, expecially when there is a rough patch in the middle of the road and your ship tries it best to dive into it :D
Maybe this is something that can be solved honing tracks or ships, maybe it's just me being an idiot... but anyway there is great fun to be had in this game, expecially in multiplayer. Nice work!

The art and music were super cool! It was a little hard to control the ships at first. The powerups were pretty cool. I liked that it was a PICO-8 game!

Submitted

I love the art style, and the music is exciting and catchy, but the controls really are a struggle to manage. I think polishing those up would make this game truly shine!

Submitted

visually great but its a bit strange to not be able to control steering

Submitted

That's a polished entry, nice atmosphere, cool characters!

It took me a while to understand which ship was mine ahha.

I understand the floatiness but maybe a liiiitle bit to floaty for me to the point it becomes a bit frustrating

Submitted

Very nice atmosphere in this game. The controls were however very far from intuitive for me. It is extremely annoying that the ship does not seem to even try to avoid the mines on the road.

Really fun! The controls are tight and satisfying. Awesome pixel art too!
