To explain the controlling here. When you hold a or d it pedals your wheels, when you are on the ground to transfers to movement in whatever direction you are facing. When you press A or D it changes the direction you are facing as well. When you jump you can no longer change direction. So, you were speeding up your wheels running into a wall, and then when you turned you sped in the other direction, when you jumped since you didn't have any speed running into the wall you didn't get anywhere. As for the music, not sure if that is a compliment or not lol, I went for a retro style sound track and generally the game is supposed to give a retro feel.
I made an after jam update! The controls are the same, but I think I might have explained them better in the game. Another tip is to either hold of the controls awhile before turning or hitting brake. This slows your wheels before you turn around. Did some minor balancing, and modified ice physics as well
