nice retro aesthetic! I especially like the pixelated smoke vfx. the driving was a bit too sensitive and unruly at first, but after getting used to it I found it pretty neat. at times, I would even say the driving is great, but it’s so fickle and those times don’t last for very long. my main complaint is how the car freaks out when touching the curb — the driving only works well when the ground is completely flat, and the camera is super wonky when the car is not stable.
there are some moments where this game really shines: pulling off a long drift feels great, being saved by the bird after crashing is awesome, the portal effect is really cool and the upgrades add some nice spice… there’s definitely potential here, it’s just really rough at the moment. also, nice touch with “press esc” under the car lol.
