I was totally ready to rage over the controls... I really wanted separate "lean" and "accelerate" buttons. But I accept now that they make sense and are pretty elegant, actually.
I will say that the "motor" sfx and seeming disconnect between wheel rotation and actual movement at times was pretty disorienting.
Not really my sort of game but I pushed myself to the finish because the vibe seemed uniracers-inspired, and that game is my jam. Thank goodness for the checkpoints. Took me nearly 12 minutes.
