Really fun once I got into it. Great entry! :D

Thank you for playing my game!

To everyone having problems with negative scores, I noticed that they were possible at one point, but being the creator of the game it was hard to tell how well I was doing. I tended to get negative scores only for the later levels (ending in an overall positive score), so I didn't think too much of it. Scoring honestly never makes much sense to me!

Interesting concept! Might be some bug in the scoring system but this was still fun nonetheless.

Pretty cool concept, but I think the scores were off. I got negative every time, maybe tweaking how scores work would help. The car should also steer a bit into the road, not following it but being drawn toward it. This could turn out to be a cool little game!

Thanks for your comment!

I responded to the negative scoring problem in a comment of my own, but for the car-steering-to-track, I mainly didn't do that because I wanted to stick with my primary idea of reversing "drive car around constant track" to "build track around constant car pathing". I also didn't adjust the car's steering because it would've taken much more time to program, and I wanted to make sure I had time for other features.

Quite and interesting idea, but somehow I managed to get negative scores 😬I'm probably that bad, it took me a while to figure things out, but I'd probably ajust the scoring to, at least, avoid scores lower than zero. Nice try

Fun and challenging, quite a fun little game!

I like the track drawing. With some tweaks this could turn into something nice. Good job!

I thought about a similar idea, but I find your implementation way better than what I had in mind. Congrats!

Cool idea!

Neat idea!  I never got a positive score, but that was also somewhat funny to me!  Fun toy, maybe it could be a bit bigger screen next time.

Thank you for your comment!

The fullscreen button should be available on the game (bottom right of the game window) to make the screen larger. I also responded to the scoring problems in a comment of my own.
