Nice BGM selection!
I liked the staged approach to the time trial. Reach the checkpoint in time to continue the race!
I never used the drift button as driving normally seemed fine. In fact, I tried it on my second run and it was overall worse as it made the car go off the track.
I wonder if you planned to have some sharp curves that required drifting but ran out of time to implement them or some other system where drifting gave an advantage?
Some improvement suggestions:
- Add sound effects to the car! Engine and tire noises!
- Add some cool speed lines when going fast!
- A speedometer would also help give a better sense of speed.
- Add particle effect smoke on the tires when drifting!
Good game.
