pretty fun game to play, the aesthetics remind of the old NES classics, and a nice background/story too.

If only we were allowed to hit a few cars before exploding hhhh, regardless a great submission, and if you get the time stop by and rate my game.


Best of luck.

The hard hitting music and then the explosion sound made me genuinely laugh! :D Anyways, the retro car games are always good, and i like how the limitation was used. Great job!

Incredible work! Like Victory Run with edge. I wanna know more about Rack City!

I dig the music. The game is like Atari's Enduro, but with a twist. The controls feel good and there's a tension while you see that counter diminishing. I think there should be a number of hits you could take before blowing up so it's not that unforgiving.

I'm always curious about these "Outrun" kind of games - I've never looked at how they're made, but I bet the code is something interesting to look at.

I wasn't able to get too far, but I enjoyed the game overall. Good job!

I love the nostalgia in this game - reminds me of Pole Position from way back when. I think that's why the controls and gameplay were so intuitive. A minor suggestion is that I didn't really experience a difficulty change while playing. The game was pretty difficult to begin with, and even upon entering the second biome I didn't notice much of a change besides scenery. The music slapped, it kept me around! Thanks for sharing!

I like the pseudo 3d style from retro games. Funny explosion sound. Great job!

Great job! I did chuckle a bit with the explosion noise. haha

All in all, i did enjoy this! the art and style was amazing. great work

Only negatives i have is that the text was real hard to read, and sometimes i died for no reason, and sometimes i went through cars.

Nice Game! A pretty unique game being the only racing game. Love the sound effects and art style. Good job! :D

Fun game swerving in between cars and drifting max speed just to minimize the amount of people that'll explode. At least I went out listening to some jams

I love retro style games and I really think this game nailed the aesthetic. Kinda got flashbacks from the old Mario Kart and Sonic Drift games. Your game is really fun, I even ended up playing several times :D

Nice Game! I would change the controls because if you decellerate you go down the page. It would be better if wasd were the controls

Developer

Thanks for the feedback! I changed the controls to WASD :)
