cool game

The music was a good touch, the style was reminiscent of old school computer games, and I loved how you could increase speed. I think the pieces I felt missing as I played were clear indicators in the environment how to navigate (holes, walls, and ramps weren't super clear). Also, being fixed to the bottom of the screen was maddening when you had to move back down the map. You have no visibility on where you're going. Still a fun idea though.

Little bit tricky to see where youre supposed to be going due to the collidable objects blending into the background a bit.
But a really cool vibe.

I love the movement in this game! It's very fun and also looks great. Adding more in depth mechanics would do a lot to elevate this game to the next level. great job!

I really liked the graphical style of the PCB with the reflective walls.

The sensation of building up speed and zooming over the world was really fun. Great analogy for data/electrons surging through traces.

Sadly, quite a bit too heavy for my poor laptop, so I didn't finish it. But the world design looks really cool, and so sounds the music.
