"controls are whack and aren't explained whatsoever" aight but it's just WASD to drive and then spacebar for brake, you don't even really need the spacebar to beat the AI and all of Dani's 3 star times, so does this really need explanation? besides, keyboard/controller input was an afterthought, you realize the intended control scheme for this game is a banana, right? What customization could you want? arrow keys work fine too and there's no excessive keybinds that could possibly justify wanting to use ESDF/RDFG/TFGH or any other shifted control scheme
The AI isn't unfair, it gets free resets yes but so do you, internally it's literally hooked up to the same car object controlling the throttle, brake and steering in the exact same way you can, just automatically instead of from inputs - but i can agree, the AI might be a bit too good, but at least it's not unfair, just feels like it
