The game was simple to control, and I liked the style/layout. I don't understand the use of a timer and laps and scoring. The game was also very unforgiving, sending you back to the beginning when you crash. The theme only played while the double coins was active, but it isn't active for very long; so, you don't get to hear much of the song.

I love how the controls add challenge to the game where you have to slow down or angle yourself just right if you want to get certain coins. I would have liked to see a bit more of the theme though.

Submitted

Great game. I could see this having some sort of multiplayer added on. Ghost trials from racing games trying to beat each other's times or racing side by side

Submitted

Wonderful game! It was really fun to play and the visuals were amazing. The controls were easy to use. Great Job!

Submitted

I really like this game, visuals and controls were very nice. I do think to make if more of a challenge, is keep the player from being able to move backwards. Color choice was a nice touch. Great job!

Submitted

Very cool game! movements and visuals are impressive, I also like the user interface you made. I didn't run into any kinds of issues while playing the game, I would only suggest adding some running animations for the player, this would provide an amazing experience playing the game.

Submitted

I liked the way you integrated the theme into the game adding the music when you got double coins was cool. But I would have liked a little more of challenge.

Submitted

The game looks good and i like the design of it. I like how when you get a boost it plays a song to show you have the boost in coin points. I would of liked to have a general soundtrack play while running the track along with a running sound would of also been nice. overall good job though.

Submitted

The controls took me a couple tries to get used to, but I had a lot of fun. I noticed that a couple times the coins would spawn in difficulty spots like on the side of the track or right in front of a barrier. I thought it was really cool that you changed the character model's color. This was really well done, nice job!

Submitted

This feels really good to control, uses the conventional key map in a way that is inviting, and looks pretty good.  Except for the model, something about it just gives me the heebie-jeebies and I don't think that was intentional.  Can't fault you for my subconscious reaction to a bunch of pixels, though.

Fun little collector game. I liked the ability to change colors and how collecting the star gave you music and a double coins.

Submitted

Really cool controls. It took a while to get used to them but I really like how they added an aspect of challenge to the game. I think having the player be able to change the puppet's color was a nice touch!

Submitted

I liked being able to choose my color and running around felt good.

Submitted

I like this game, it's very relaxing. I try my best for the best game runner.

This game was really a lot of fun to play. The really enjoyed the challenge, it was very engaging. I do wish it had some type of music or sound effects. But I understand given the time constraint. Great Job!

Submitted

This was a fun game. The turning was just right since it wasn't too fast; if you messed up the turn its the players fault not the game.  Enjoyable mechanics basically

Submitted

Great game!! I like that we're able to change the color of the puppet's outfit. I also like that the music plays when we pick up the object for double stars.

Submitted

Fun game! The controls handle well and the coins/obstacles' placements were a fair level of difficulty. If you wanted to in the future, adding in coins with different visuals for different point values may be interesting, as it would add an extra layer of risk vs reward.

Submitted

I really enjoyed playing this game!  I liked how you gave the player the option to choose their puppet color.  I also liked how the coins and obstacles were in a different place each lap.  The only issue with this is that on a few rare occasions, a coin would spawn on top of an obstacle, making it impossible to pick up.  Another suggestion for improvement would be lowering the score when the player hits an obstacle instead of ending the game.  This would encourage the player to take more risks and move faster through the course rather than playing it safe, although that might not be your intention.  Regardless, I think you did a fantastic job!
