How does the game fit the theme?
TrackJACK fits the theme, "Risk it for the biscuit" in 3 ways. Firstly, the lore behind being motorcycle stunt performer, in and of itself, is a high risk, high reward job. You risk serious injury and death to perform stunts for fame and fortune. Secondly, while in the planning phase, you have a chance to double your potential earnings from your stunt performance if you hit 21, but you half your earnings if you bust. Do you play it safe and risk not making enough money to pay your debts or do you go for double at the risk of halfing what you already have? Finally, while in the stunt phase, if you miss or mistake a single key press, you make no money and have medical bills on top of it. Do you plan out a long list of stunts at the risk of failing the entire thing and losing more money or do you keep the list short? But, remember, you have debts to pay and not much time to do it.

Really good polished game! Risk-award is nicely implemented and both audio and visuals create a very fitting aesthetic.
great concept, great vfx and amazing sfx!! i was hooked, and added bonus I LOVE BLACKJACK haha. really enjoyed playing this
The game is perfectly on theme and really enjoyable! The art style was great, and the crazy level was literally crazy, really testing my attention and reflexes. Cool game!
Excellent take using a black jack mechanic. I really enjoyed the art style. I think maybe the font could be adjusted for the letter choices, because playing on crazy mode the key 'I' popped up and I wasn't sure if it was a 1, I, L or even |. I went with I but I was wrong and crashed. 😢 I'm not sure how you would make the distinction though. But otherwise really good job, was pretty fun. 🤗
Great, very addictive game! The graphics are strong with this yellow palette, and the sounds are very pleasant when you press the right buttons! Very fun!
Super fun and well-refined game. The visuals and sound effects are super fun. I especially liked the main character's design. Adding in the blackjack elements was the exact right amount of risk this game needed, an inspired inclusion. I initially thought the down arrow was a 'V', but it was a minor problem I figured out straight away. Not a big deal, but there's a slight dissonance with the bigger tricks being easier to execute (as your jump needs fewer total inputs), but it does make them even more desirable, so I get the decision. Really enjoyed this one
