Very fun, although I got confused with the controls. Good job!

Really like the rear view mirror.  Adds a great element to it.  Controls are a little sensitive and sometimes feels like the input I'm doing isn't getting registered. Love the artwork, overall really solid entry.

I love this game! It’s so fun and impressive. Good job!

Nice game! Very polished for the amount of time. A bit of playtesting feedback rather than criticism because I think you did really well but I see you plan to take it further:

Summary: Boon/nerf mechanics are tricky. Sure as anything, I didn't get bonuses balanced right in my own game!
Example 1: Boons make handling better. But boons make initial handling less fun.
Example 2: Dirt and sand slow you down. But the trajectory is a straight line, so actually, "track" becomes lucky speed-boost tiles.
Example 3: Winning the race nets you rewards. But if you need help, you are locked out of boons.

But overall, fantastic stuff!

Great job! Crazy what you managed with the art and sound!

It kept crashing on me... but that's because I'm on a Mac and playing in the browser. But from what I played. Awesome game. Great art. Super cool! I wish my computer was better... I'm not holding that against you. Nice job well done.

Fun game! The steering was a bit frustrating but overall great job

Great game! Amazing you got it all done during this jam. Took me a bit to understand the pathing and how it really didn't matter, but I finally started surviving races even if I didn't place.

Very cool game !
loved the visuals. and the upgrade between races was definetly a good idea. It kept me going for a long while :)

Submitted(+3)

wow! super impressive all around. the only issue I had was figuring out which path to take, aside from just Away from the avalanche.

Great game, but turning feels bad

Nice! Mariokart vibes are strong with this one. Love the visuals and the audio

Submitted(+2)

Lots of fun! Stacking speed and jumps is the best! The maps felt very same-y, but understandable due to the time limit. Everything else was awesome!

Nice karting game.

The focus/theme are well integrated, it looks good, 
but the rotation speed is too high, making karts hard to drive.

Otherwise, it looks good, The rearview mirror where the disaster can be seen is a good idea.

Well done.

Thanks!

Yeah, the steering not as balanced as it could be in the first instance. After a few handling upgrades its not too bad. We had to make it deliberately worse in order to make the upgrade worthwhile! Handles better with a controller than it does with WASD.

Great game!

I like this retro style combined with racing, it feels like I'm playing in some kind of slot machine. Special respect for the starting character choice, super cool!

Love the retro vibe!! the turning feels a little weird tho

Submitted(+2)
