How does your game fit the theme?
My game fits into the theme in several instances, some of the upgrades have to do with loops, the car simulation part is the car driving in a loop, it is also a roguelike so that is a loop in and of itself.

We liked your game so much we made a short about it!
Great stuff! The upgrade synergies were juicy and it was overall really well polished. Hope to see you continue to make great games in the futureOMG! Thank you so so much, its an honor to be considered a favorite!
I will definitely continue making games and expanding on this one after all the positive feedback :D
Liked it a lot! The visual style is really... relaxing? I guess? It was very pleasant to look at the game and the sound design is nice. Although some upgrades felt unbalanced, I got 18195/7686 at the end after I picked the more score on loop at the start and never had problems since.
Thank you for trying it out!
Yeah nothing is really balanced, I need to look at that in the future :D
very addictive game, had a blast playing it! so much potential to become a strong commercial game! great work!
Thank you for playing it!
Was great seeing you play the game live and find some bugs :D
The animations are very cool, I like it when the upgrades pop up when they activate. I think it would be cool if there was other cars in this race, and you would balance the speed vs fuel of your car, this could make the game more complex. Nice game.
Thank you for playing!
Great feedback, I'll have to experiment in the future to improve it :D
Such a cool game, reminds me of Balatro.
I really like the synergies that you could get!
Really well polished and fun!
I got 110 k score
Well done! :D
Thanks for playing it and having fun :D
Yes it is inspired by Balatro and other such games :)
Highly polished and strong game! Idk when I clicked on it I assumed the player would be racing against at least another car, wouldve been nice but also probably too high of a scope. Anyway I would have liked to have the charges shown next to the gates and cards like this (x1) or (x∞). Anyway awesome game, well done!
Thank you for playing!
Totally fair to thinking that. Great suggestion, I was a little unsure about how to visually show the charges. I will experiment with it in the future :)
The UI and feedback is all so polished! It was really satisfying to jump around the menus and upgrade my car. I had a great time all the way through the end. It's a game jam so I'm sure the scope wouldn't be reasonable, but the use of "places" for how many attempts to get the goal score was confusing at first. Having some other cars to race against would be nice, but it was plenty of fun without any of that.
Great job! Go muscle car!
Thank you for playing it and having fun!
Yeah the 'placement' was added at the very end to have a failure state otherwise you could just continuously start until you beat the goal. I have gotten some ideas now after submitting it for alternate systems :D
Really satisfying game! Everything feels great with good visual and audio feedback. Nice take on the theme in an extremely well polished experience, excellent job!
Oh such kind words, thank you! :)
cool game, really fun and unique concept.
Thanks for playing :D
really neat game! maybe have some other little cars racing alongside it as well? cool stuff overall :D
Thanks for playing!
Great suggestion, I have it written down for the future :)
This is very impressive. Super polished! The biggest thing I missed were some synergies. Seems there is no real strategy, everything you select is good, and where you place the gates does not really matter either. Art looks great (font can be a little hard to read, but I appreciate you having a pixel font!)
I think there is a lot of potential here. Great job!
Thank you so much for playing and the feedback!
Yeah there could be a lot more upgrades for synergies and where you place the gates have no real impact, your still gonna hit them. Its more of a choice of which gates you want. The font is a little hard to read and I have modified it now after all the feedback so I will probably update it when the voting ends :D
Incredibly Polished! Seriously it has excellent presentation for an indie game let alone a 96 hour jam game. I loved the Balatro influences.
I have a couple nitpicks that being 1. I't was very easy I wasn't even sure how you lose at first. 2. I'm not sure handling does, or what the point of speed is if your measured in loops made not how fast you make them. But perhaps I just ignored some instructions. Seriously good work, keep it up!
Thank you for trying it out!
Speed helps do more loops which score you more points and handling is how much speed you keep while drifting. It's not shown that great. The difficulty turned out super easy, you have to intentionally try to lose to actually lose xD
I love seeing other roguelikes people have made, your's is so good! All the UI is super juicy and the game just feels so good to play. I also really like the concept of upgrading a car and placing gates it's really creative. Great submission!
Thank you so much, glad you liked it :D
Gates are a really interesting idea, somewhat similar to "replacing track sections" other jammers were using but way better looking
Thanks!
Yeah I really wanted something extra other than just upgrades.
Nice game, I finished it and I'm not sure how you can't get first place, so it was super easy. But fun nonetheless. Could be a great little game with some balancing and more going on during the race
Thank you for playing and the feedback!
I totally agree it needs balancing and some expansion, luckily I have lots of ideas of features and systems to add in the future :D
Very creative idea! I really like the gameplay and all the upgrades. I feel the racing time is still pretty long, even at the highest speed. Other than that, the game is very fun. Good job!
Thank you for playing! Fair feedback, I also feel it takes a little to long sometimes as well xD
A nice little game! The gameplay is simple but addicting. I would like to see more gate slots and more rounds to make the game goes crazy :)
Thanks! Good suggestion as well :)
Really impressive that you made it in 2 days. Great game and art!!
I think you mean 4 days xD
Thanks for playing!
Oh, my bad—I misread your game’s submitted 2 days before deadline. XD
I'm gonna be 100% honest with you and say this is one of the top 3 I've played in this jam. The idea, mechanics, upgrades... it's just so good. I really loved it so much. Great stuff.
Thank you so much Bröther! I had lots of fun making it, glad you enjoyed it <3
One of games of this jam that i played the most, really really liked the idea and mechanic. Congratulations for doing all of this and alone too, two points that i can say is that this font is really hard to read, i find hard to understand the upgrades sometimes and the game may be a little easy for my taste. Other than that, crazy good game!
Thank you for the feedback, there is definitely work to be done with the font and the balancing. Glad you liked it :D
