The controls are surprisingly nice, other than the fact that they don't seem to allow WASD which would have been a nice bonus!

My high score 24 sec 
I love that it’s a Toyota Celica with the Predator (like Alien vs Predator) chilling in the back seat

I definitively want to come back later and try to improve my run !

Nice game with a interesting twist. However, I thought the main mechanic feel a bit too difficult to get access to, since the time window you get for activating the boost is very short, unless you are just driving in lockstep with your ghost, but it seems very unlikely. The car physics could also be improved a bit to make driving feels better or more realistic. For example I think the turn rate for the car is too fast and not very realistic.

Thanks for the feedback, it's interesting that you think the driving should be more realistic. I think most people would find the turn rate is already quite low compared to something like Super Mario Kart or F-Zero (which this game takes some inspiration from)! But it's true, I would have liked to actually make it more realistic like you say, if I had time.

Very cool, very retro! Using past cars to boost yourself forwards is interesting, you can prepare and plan for one super-fast lap!

I hope you try out, enjoy, and rate my entry as well!

I enjoyed this game! I liked how you can see the old lap cars that made it a lot more fun! Keep up the good work!

nice idea!

I liked that this game can be forgiving for bad drivers... more laps and attempts means more ghosts to boost from later! Game could be improved with a bit of music, but a fun play even without. 

Please try my friend's game if you have a chance : https://excalibur277.itch.io/tasks-of-the-spell-looper
