I definitely didn’t expect text instead of actual racing, but it was still interesting to observe the progress of the race, wondering whether you will win.
But it’s not long until the game (ironically, because it’s about racing) starts to feel a bit slow and repetitive. It gets annoying to smash Z so many times to find out the result. Maybe you could add a way to skip dialogues faster or just get race result immediately.
That said, I like the graphics in this game and it’s fun to purchase upgrades for your car (even though I often can’t tell if anything improved because you aren’t actually racing yourself).
And it seems like the game is pretty long, since I haven’t even gotten past the D class (and I was playing for like an hour). So pretty impressive, considering the time limit. A few improvements to the gameplay, and it could be a really nice “racing” game!
