So technically you could just use WASD. But I know what you mean. In terms of min maxing the speed, the whole design is currently quiet punishing. Larger "roads" would have helped in the first place. XD

Well, maybe I should do some research on how typical racing games manage the "how to find the track"-thingy. Maybe in Mario Kart etc. it is quiet obvious since they just make the main track bigger and "highlight" it in the first place. But making the track broader might make the game easier. But I am glad that you enjoyed the game. 

I tried to implement a PID-Controller for the mouse controlls, but even after tuning it felt more unnatural. I am still not quite sure if the "controll-experiment" was a success or not.  

I tried to integrate controller controlls in the beginning, via Unity's "new" input system, but adding more features forced me to surrender given the limited time of the jam. 

For the tracks: well I drew the standard tiles to small and scaling them up felt unnatural. But I totally agree on that point. 

Thank you for the feedback!

Well, the rythm game, high skill ceiling thingy was the idea, but I always underestimate the amount of work a game needs if you dont prepare anything. In the beginning I was thinking about letting the player apply "spin" to the character and showing the trajectory the player is going to take, but implementing this turned out to be far more difficult. 

For the art: I used a shader which replaces "static" colors with textures, so that I don't have to draw the textures onto the tiles manually. In the end this was a huge time saver. I think if I find a way to integrate detail-textures this would be powerful for future projects. 

But thanks for playing!

Thanks.

Thank you! So technically, if you want top speed, then you need the rotations. But given the limited time I was unable to integrate more "smooth" curves where you can really use them.
