Thank you, as our first game and first jam, your feedback is greatly appreciated.
If we decide to take this game further, our plans include a 1-extra-life setup if the vehicle is destroyed as well as upgrade options. Running out of power would then use the 'towed home' mechanic.
Steering was intended to be more challenging at faster speed, but fine-tuning that aspect is certainly also on the todo list.
Loading the background music came so late in the process that we were unable to properly test it.
Thanks again for sharing your experience.
