Something about racing hot dogs with all the thematic swap options just put a smile to my face.

Even though the gameplay is very simple, I had a surprisingly fun time just discovering what this game is and learning the mechanics. It's quite unlike anything I played before and I enjoyed that light discovery element and the idea of racing hot dogs. You don't really know what's good to swap until you play a few times and realize the power of each stat. I feel like the length of the game is perfect for the mechanic, and I enjoyed seeing the different customizations that came up. I like the introduction of the boosts in the races, it's just a little bit of added interaction while still retaining the sort of spectator anticipation of watching a horse race. Cool little game!

This is a great description of what I was going for so I'm glad you got it and enjoyed it!

The number of courses and depth of available options is really impressive!

I was surprised to see such fleshed out systems in a gamejam entry, so great first impression. This is also a very different interpretation of the swap theme so points for creativity. I do wish there was more strategy and player agency over swapping like being able to see your opponents loadout and seeing more parts come with weighted drawbacks that change your build.

During all my races with the "Press A to Boost", I could not feel any difference in speed and somehow got perfect timing on every one. This is the equivalent of Jockey Race games which I can definitely enjoy as an idle game if the race visuals had more flair. Regardless this left me impressed!

Thanks for the notes! I agree with all of these points and I'll see if I can clean them up in a future revision.
