How does your game fit the theme?
You race on a physical loop, and the core mechanic is a strategic loop of racing a lap, then modifying the track loop itself, all wrapped in a larger roguelike "run" where failure loops you back to the start for a fresh attempt.

Really cool idea on the loop theme, I love how you can change the tracks, never seen that in other games. The visual style is also really nice!

Developer

I enjoyed this :] I got 11/12 medals ! but I stopped retrying to get 12 because it felt like it relied a lot on luck (more speed upgrades is more good) neat idea!

That's awesome! Thanks for playing and it means a lot that you enjoyed! Very true, I do agree, one of the main things I would change if I were to update it is that, nice eye!

Fellow auto cars and handling upgrades) I didn't think of editing tracks themselves, great idea!

Developer

It's a chill game. The art fits really well. I like it. I added a shortcut to the track that made the track longer, that was funny :D

Developer

Haha nice, thanks for playing!

This was fun! I like that you have to keep upgrading to continue beating each level. You could add an opponent car to represent that the time limit without really changing anything else. Could be fun to watch and see if you can still beat it each time.

Developer

Thanks, that is a really good rec! If I were to update this game I would definitely add that, good idea!

I liked the concept with the stylized economic management a lot. The graphics are simple but nice. Really, the game is very fun to play

I really appreciate your feedback, thanks for playing! Any negative feedback, or things that you wish could be changed?

Maybe I would change the car animation and button design a bit, but these are straight up little things that I don't think are worth paying attention to.

It's a very neat concept and twist on the "racing in a loop" idea.   It's definitely a very idle game though which is admitedly not normally my cup of tea. But that's not a bad thing at all, just not a me thing.   Solidly implemented though, UI elements are intuitive and the artwork is very pleasant to the eye ^^
