Use of the limitation
All sprites in this game use only 2 colors, which required clever workarounds like programmatic layering of sprites.

Cookies eaten
Not a single cookie. 3 liters of coffee and a lot of candy.

I like the idea of combining the 'top-down driving avoiding obstacles' genre (?) with the rhythm game genre, they fit together extremely well. There's a nice amount of content here too, multiple tracks, different skins, lots of power-ups, it's very impressive! From what I could tell, the collectables spawned at the same BPM as the song, which was a nice touch, although I think it would've worked better if they fit the song exactly. However, from working on my own game (nice name btw haha), I understand just how much time that takes to get working, so it's less of a complaint, and more a suggestion if you even wanted to update this game after the jam!

Lots of potential here!
Driving a car and switching lanes to catch notes is quite an interesting idea.
However, the notes being random and not fitting the song really break it for me :(
I also found the SFX quite distracting, especially the off-beat note collection, and some "wind howling"? Probably the car movement?

It's simple, but it's addictive game. I can relax when I play it. So, I like this game!

I loved the soundtracks for this game! I was jamming the entire time haha. If the levels went progressively faster and you could see the score I could sink a lot of time into this game for sure. Great game dude and great job!
