Such a cool idea and very creative use of the theme!

Submitted(+1)

Very interesting idea, I think it has a lot of potential. I think watering plants in the current state of the game feels a bit useless, as it does not seem to influence placement at the end.  Also the steering feels a bit too sensitive. The love the visuals though and the sound design is great. Overall, good game!

Relly fun idea, and cool art style, love cover too! but controls take some time to get used to, but i never player 2d race games so i'm just bad at this😭

Really great game! Quite polished for sure. I like the art style and the gameplay was the perfect level of challenge! Great Job!

Really well polished game for 48 hours!  Love the sounds and the control of the cars.  I feel like we could use some more indication of what watering the plants is actually doing for me, like a UI element or something.  Other than that it's wonderful.  Can't help but feel like adding controller support would make it easier to control the car, as is I think it's pretty intuitive (and requires some level of skill) and I'm not sure you should change the controls, but it did take  me a second to get used to swapping turn directions on keyboard when the car was facing south.  Will definitely be checking back in with this one to see where you go with it!

Thanks for the feedback! I plan to make a post jam update later to make improvements based on feedback and add new content :)

Really out of pocket game, interesting mechanics. Maybe I would just advice to lower a bit the strength of the drifts!

Very fun retro racing game! It’s fast and easy to play. I’d have preferred some more defined score linked to both position and plants’ watered. As it stands, you can arrive first without watering any plant.

Thanks for the feedback! Game design was cut due to time constraints. I want to fix this in a post jam update

This is so much fun. The coordination of aiming the water separate from driving took some time to get good at in a good way, really fun mechanic and the sound design and music are really satisfying as well!

This was really fun and an awesome take on a racing game that fits the theme well.  My one critique is I wish the water shot just a little bit farther, but overall this is really well done!

Developer

Thanks for the feedback! I'll take this into account

I find the car super hard to control but I dig the concept! The music is really cool

Watering plants while driving is a nice and unique idea ! I'm gonna be honest at the beginning i was shooting at the cars trying to kill clean them x)

I like the retro style, and I'm a big fun of racing games so it was a good surprise to find one within the theme :)

I was a little bit lost at the beginning about how to properly play this game, because if I do the race to crossing the finish line first, I got a poor score, and if I take my time to put water properly on the plants, I don't do the race anymore, crossing the finish line last but with the highest score.

If we are just racing for watering the plants before the ennemies, maybe it would have more sense to have an "open world" map with a timeout ? Don't know, just an idea^^

Still I loved the idea !

Developer

Good suggestion! Thanks for the feedback
