Game Description
You get one try to get past the enemies - see if you have the reaction time! (Hint: you probably don't.)
How does your game tie into the theme?
Even the slightest bump from a road barrier will knock you into the air and destroy you.

Really good graphics. Simple yet totally appropriate. Sweet explosions and much juice. Very good entry. Top art marks!
Thanks! Yeah, Kai did an incredible job with the art.
This is the most beautiful game i played so far, I love the art work.
A large canvas could help to see what is coming in front
Thank you so much! I will experiment with your suggestions.
great game, the art is lovely, just wish restarting didn't made you go back to the main menu
Yeah, that's definitely something we will fix in the future, thanks for calling it out! And thanks for playing. :)
Absolutely nailed the retro theme! I liked that all the obstacles didn't just come from the front. Short but complete/polished game. :)
Awesome, thanks for playing! And yeah, the rear cars were Kai's doing and incredibly smart. They also let me make the cars look smarter than they are with their "I'm going to go around this slow-poke" A.I., which isn't really A.I. at all, just a simple greedy algorithm.
The art and music are really good! If you could add some non negative interactions for variety (maybe a "fragile" shield powerup that can stand 1 hit, or some jumps) I think it'll be a nice game particularly on mobile since it'd be 100% playable with touch controls.
Thank you for the feedback! That is the intent, once we're ready to go mobile (already started implementing gesture controls :P).
It was a bit hard for me. I think having a wider view would have made it easier, or maybe having everything start slower and speed up as time goes on. The pixel art was so cute that I wanted to keep playing though! Also a nice touch with the spinning intro text.
I wasn't sure if anyone would notice the text was meant to look like it was ramming into the car and flying off the screen after wiping out. :P Thanks for the feedback! One thing to note is that it _does_ start off slower and speeds up over time, but only at a tremendously slow rate, probably not even noticeable. Essentially it goes up .001 units per frame, which despite having a ton of frames going, is incredibly slow, so in other words it seems to start off too fast for a lot of people. I intend to fix that in the rewrite!
really well done! :)
high score: 1520
Thank you, and that's a pretty decent score! Seems like it's above average at least!
Excellent pixel art and sound. Had a bit of a laugh at the death animation :p
Heh, awesome - that was my hope, re: the death animation. It's meant to be over-the-top, some puns intended! Thanks for playing!
Excellent sound and graphics for the play of this one! Very satisfying. I could use more reaction time personally, but I think that would take away from its 'fragile' aspect.
Thanks! And yeah, definitely something to be tweaked, as when I attempt to move this to mobile, there will (presumably) be a lot less space. I'll probably add indicators for the front as well. Thanks for your feedback though!
Cool game! I liked the overall game feel: the gameplay, graphics and audio come together very well. Should've taken the hint about my reaction time. Somehow got 1080 on my first attempt (beginner's luck?), and couldn't cross that in the next 6 or 7 attempts. The game makes you want to give it just "one more attempt". I liked the variation between front (more reaction space/time) and rear (special indicator) collisions. It was really satisfying to avoid a barrier and have another car crash into it and topple :)
Thanks! Really appreciate all that feedback.
It was really fun to play it, i thought everything was okay after avoiding all the obstacles in front of me only to get hit from behind by a car kkk
Ha, yeah! The rear cars are a pain in the...rear end!
Very good job - graphics , sound and animations - very cool
Thank you very much!
turned out to be very dynamic. Cool game!
I tried my best to make it seem like there's an A.I. behind the wheels, even though there definitely is not. 🤣 Thanks for playing!
awesome feels like an arcade game!
That was my hope! Thank you so much for playing!
Really like the games. I love the music and the graphics. I feel younger, playing at the arcade.
That is 100% what I was hoping for! Thank you! Just completely made my day.
Great Art! HS 3950 pts
Wow, crushed it! Nice work!
Tried it a few times and think I had luck.
I gave up quickly :)
It has a nice art style and a minimalist UI (good thing).
Well, thanks for playing!
Fun game!I like the art, the cars are really nice. I got 1810 pts.
Thanks for playing, really appreciate it!
The music is nice. The art is quite good. It's very fun.
Thanks for playing!
