How does your game fit the theme?
Drift Up, fits the theme through its incorporation of strange and unpredictable power-ups that dramatically alter the racing experience. These power-ups, such as inverted controls, camera distortion, uncontrollable turbos, anti-gravity, and slow motion, create unexpected challenges and force players to adapt quickly.

Good job! The environment design is really good .

the car felt a bit difficult to control, kind of made driving a challenge.

overall I liked it ...

Keep up the good work!

Good concept, but the execution could use some polishing.

The idea of racing with strange power-ups is a good one, but the controls made it quite challenging for a smooth gameplay experience. A racing game without a twist is already real challenge for the controls. The steering wasn't very fluid, and with power-ups like anti-gravity or reverse controls, it became really difficult (at least for me).
A timer to see when the power-up wears off might be a good idea so you know when you can drive normally again, and a message indicating which power-up you've picked up.

Graphically, it looked good with a nice car and racetrack. The start screen was also slick! The start music and race audio track were pleasant to the ear. Crazy power-ups were indeed present.

Good concept and foundation for even more! Keep it up.

Nice! 

but I found the car a little bit hard to drive

It was pretty annoying trying to drive, and the controls at some point even got inverted (althoght that might be a power up, I dont know actually). I liked the visuals, but I didnt enjoy the game very much.

Great job! The environment looks fantastic. However, the car felt a bit slow and difficult to control, which made driving a challenge. The power-ups added a fun twist, but their effects weren't always clear. It might be interesting to introduce some competition or speedrun features to aim for faster lap times. Overall, it’s a fun game with potential!

I loved the 3D track and environment, plus the high-res graphics added a lot of polish.

The car seemed a little slow for me - I think the game would feel extra fast-paced if the car was faster.

I liked the powerups - most of them seemed to make the game harder, which fit with the "strange" theme. The jet-boost was my favorite.

Fun driving game !!  found the car a little too difficult to move but the graphics and audio are very well done! very realistic car vibes

Not many 3D games in the jam so kudos for taking it up a notch! Power-ups were definitely a challenge but it wasn't always clear what they did. I didn't know I had reverse controls till my car's wheels started smoking. Would have liked to see some competition to give me something to aim for other than a faster lap time.

Could be a nice speedrun game with a leaderboard. Got trust me I have my driver licence but why can't I drive haha!

The powerups really gave me a challenge to drive, tho for it to be a driver game the controls should feel more loose like a car and less like your on ice or stiff.

Submitted

Ok, seriously, I am bad at your game :) 

But I think it's the only driving game here, so definitely points for that!

Other than that I had one gripe. The powerups really didn't power you up. Actually, what they did was power me down!

Submitted

The game is really fun to play, i enjoyed a lot playing it :) 

it took me almost 2 minutes to finish the race haha

Congrats for your submission !
