Love the characters, and its cool that they all get their own unique car

That's Where I'm Racing KiddoGreat music and drifting, overall. It was pretty satisfying getting the time down on each attempt, as well as finding shortcuts throughout the track and the right places to slow down and drift.

Lunatic BobsledThe visuals and soundtrack are so good. Spent way more time playing this than I'd like to admit

Life of the ParryBig fan of the music, art style, character designs, and car designs. The music especially reminds of of Jet Set Radio which I looooooove that soundtrack. I think the game is fun to control but the only thing I did not love was how it was kind of tough to predict how much I should slow down. Drifting felt good around some turns but I felt like if you didn't brake, it would make you fly off which makes sense but the problem was it felt like the brake stopped you immediately. But I get that the slipperiness was kind of the "slick" part but just my thoughts. I think with some tweaking and more maps this could be a really fun racing game!

Slide RideI agree with you 100%, we spent a lot of time tweaking the car and I don't know if we got it the best it could be but it's definitely in a pretty fun place right now.
After the jam ends we are considering adding in the extra characters I made (see the post if you haven't already) and more tracks so hopefully you play it again when that happens :)
Glad you liked the soundtrack hideki naganuma was a huge inspiration for me, I did some more songs which weren't put into the gamejam release - if you wanna check them out I posted them to my soundcloud: https://soundcloud.com/mc-trash-365655446/sets/slick-back-racers-ost
Now on my youtube as well:
Can't believe how stylish this is! Love the graphics, love the music (a lot) and it handles really well!
