I really wanted to like this more! I loved the art style and setting. But the actual gameplay felt very clumsy. It’s very easy to get stuck, and changing into reverse to get out is very cumbersome, i.e. not fun. Driving was quite hard to control, with first gear being the only gear it made sense to use. Setting up to take the shortcut in the first map likely took more time than if I had just ran through the normal track :) Gear changing itself was quite frustrating, and I had to regularly change into reverse to get out of wherever I got stuck in - and then I kept getting the gear key wrong :( The “unlock all” setting was a neat touch!
Nice game, the car feels good to drive. Good Job!

Thanks for the feedback, I will change the gear change controls to the mouse wheel
Awesome game, probably played it longer than I should have. I would have liked if you could steer with the mouse, as I didn't like using two hands on the WASD keys. I'm just bad with keyboards. In any case, I liked the models, I enjoyed the difficulty curve, and I liked how the car felt to control. Good game.
thanks for the helpful review, glad you enjoyed the game!
