I like it! It's kinda like a puzzle game mixed with a racing game! Very simple and fun. Great job!!
Neat game, I like the puzzle elements added into the later levels a lot. Only complaint is that I kept getting stuck on walls, especially when using the boost.
Cool Idea but I think it needs polishing regarding the car movement. Regardless great submission!
What a fun game! I definitely saw some other racing type games with the concept of trading control for more speed, but I think making it a level based puzzle works really well! Could definitely be developed into a bigger game with more variety and just more levels
Won so many of the levels with a photo finish, this was really fun! Also very unique and a great take on the theme. The game looks great and sounds great. I think the way the music changes when you are slow, charging up, and boosted is great and added a lot to my enjoyment of the game. The only thing this game needs is a timer to keep track of how fast you can beat a level. I can see this being really fun in larger tracks with multiple opponents as well. There are so many things that could be added to such a great idea like this, you could even have ways to stop your opponents from advancing while you solve puzzles. All of this is to really emphasize that I love the idea for this game and that I had a lot of fun playing it, great job!
That's a unique mix of puzzles and racing. I can feel this combination has potential.
You made a nice work, the game is very hard but fun too, congrats
Cool game I liked the concept. Car felt a bit too uncontrollable for me and the collision was a bit wonky at times. The music getting faster and higher in pitch once you start overboosting is a really nice touch.
I really liked the concept, I think you should add more mechanics and design levels around it and you'll make a great game!
This is a cool and creative mechanic with a fun risk reward edge to it! Love the little cars they are so great... : D
I like the micromachine like gameplay, the idea of adding puzzles is clever!
However I felt like I was mostly triggering the boost as soon as I could, there were very few moments where there was a choice.
Overall a cool entry, I'd like to play more games like this!
