Cute Game with Nice visuals and Cute Sounds , New Items in every loop refreshing the path.

Please Checkout my game too if possible.

Simple but cute, controls are a little clunky but still enjoyable. I would add that it took me several loops and deaths to even figure out I was supposed to crash into the wood panels and break them.

But otherwise good submission.

The art was well made and cute, and the gameplay was fun, the movement felt a bit clunky sometimes tho.

my only complaint about this game is the camera would love to maybe control an orbit cam. love the art assets and vibes!

Nice idea, I'm not sure I totally understood it and therefore never managed to complete a lap (also got stuck on debris a few times). The big jump was slightly unsatisfying as the camera didn't follow the action during the arc of the jump. Additional random question - why are you a fish? If you're in the middle of a kids room you could be anything.

well originally it was a hamster ball but we thought a different animal inside could be more fun, we used a fish asset from a big animal pack as a placeholder while building the controller and I kinda grew attached to it so when I went to make the assets we decided to keep it a fish (just a different one). 

Conceptually the fish is the kid’s pet. So anything in that realm could have gotten picked by us.

Adorable fishy! The "uh oh" when I accidentally jump off the track was heartbreaking though :') But I am glad he is ok again seconds later

Really neat concept, generally quite fun to play. The controls were a little hard, and the restart on death really punishing (though i get it you have consequences on the world you cannot really just resume). Nevertheless really good use of the theme, esp making loops affecting others.

Took a few attempts to understand the track, restarting from 0 instead of mario-kart style dropoff was a bit punishing though.

I'm not sure but in the end I was able to win by just hitting all the support beams down.

+1 for fish ball.

Also horrible time probs, but I'm not great at racing games xd.
