Awesome! Loved the atmosphere and music. I will say the only gripe i had with the controls was the player direction. The player is slow to turn in the direction I want it to go, which caused me to get hung up a few times when interacting with items.

Thanks!
It sounds like you're playing with the keyboard, correct? I really need to figure out how to fix the feel of the controls there. I'm currently just treating WASD as a virtual stick and I probably need to be doing something different there. Maybe adding a "walk" or "turn in place" key would help slightly, but I'm not confident about that.
I've toyed with just increasing the rotation speed, and maybe I'll do that slightly, but it seems easy to go too far there. Diagonal movement on keyboard is also faster than intended at the moment which isn't helping.
On a gamepad you can turn in place or move slowly while turning, but on the keyboard it's just sort of full throttle and awkward.
A few other players have suggested having a more "car-like" driving experience where controls are relative to the player's current direction rather than but that just doesn't feel right to me.
I need to go find a game in a similar style that does this well and study it, perhaps.
I do have some small fixes on the way post-jam related to items which should make them more forgiving to grab.
