Interesting concept! The art reminds me of old school arcade games. I can't get it beyond the first run though... Great work!

Very nice and creative memory game, tho it's a little bit buggy as you already know. But once you fix those bugs, this game is actually pretty fun. I was confuse at first who exactly are the cheaters, but I was playing it for the second time and I literally saw a guy using like a jetpack or a rocket boosting himself lol.

Developer

Thanks for playing the game! I am glad you enjoyed it. I have to work on fixing the bugs and a couple of more things to polish the game :)

Simple yet very fun despite the bugs. Also very creative and fits the theme very well.

Very interesting! Unfortunately i got an error when trying to go to the next level but very interesting take on the theme!

Potentially fun challenge, especially if there was time to create a difficulty scale. I was a little confused who the 'cheaters' were.

Developer

Thanks for the feedback! at first I had the idea of having some difficulty levels, but I ran out of time :p

very creative take on the idea, I have not played anything like it before. However I was unable to retry the game due to an error, but I was easily able to restart and try again.

Developer

I am glad you played my game! Thanks

That's a pretty creative concept, enjoyed it, I also got the error after completing a race. good job.

Developer

Thanks for the feed back :) I have to work on that error

Really enjoyable game :D but sometimes i got a NullReferenceException.
Also not having the explanation for each try would be a good improvement.

Thanks for the feedback! Im glad you enjoyed the game

Love the memory challenge, I think a fun twist for a "hard" mode would be having the names only be at the start and not number based and have to remember the order of the names on the field and the racers. Great job!

Developer

Hahaha amazing idea! I though of making them famous people/characters, just to make it more fun. The problem was the lack of time :p

I was totally certain the guy who ran really fast was a cheater. I'd be a bad umpire! Super creative take on the theme.

Developer

Im glad you played my game! thanks for the comment

Simple but good memory game, it fit perfectly the theme too. There is a bug when we continue and try a neW race.

Great game for training your mind! I liked that.

Developer

Thanks for playing :)

nice game, liked it. But how the score is calculated. When i place everything right i get - 1/6, but when i get everything wrong - 2/6. Strange

Developer

Thanks for playing it! - Thanks for bringing up the score system issue, it's definitely buggy.

Submitted(+1)

really fun however it breaks after one round. reloaded the page to play it again tho, a good time

Developer

I'm glad you enjoy the game!

Pros: 

Very interesting idea, never thought of something like this when brainstorming

Looks cool

Cons:

After the first race, I was unable to play again (unless I refreshed the page) => NullRefferenceError

A bit hard to understand the scope of the game at first, and some music could've helped

Overall: Loved the creativity here. Keep it up

Developer(+1)

Thanks for the comment! I have to look into that bug

Really enjoyed the idea and the simplicity of it. Didn't understand at first until the first race finished :D

Developer

Thanks for the feedback, I'm glad you enjoyed it
