Rather than having a Nitro effect, the game feels like the power steering went out. Good concept, implementation could use improvements. I found myself just driving slow in order to complete laps rather than trying to blast through it. Perhaps if there were other cars to race against, there would be incentive for speed.

Thank you for your feedback! I definitely wanted to add more objectives to incentivize the player to go faster. I didn't have time to finish it in time for the jam but I plan on adding to the game in the future. I did want the player to feel like they suddenly lost control of the car, and I thought the car's engine going "nitro" would be a cool concept. I'll try to give the player some more interaction with the Nitro system and work on some effects to make it feel better to play.
