I’ve only played one other racer in this jam and they were very different! I liked the art and music, I thought they were really well done. The character names were humorous, as well as the dialogue. Overall solid entry for your first GWJ!

Great art and music. Gameplay is pretty unique and cool too. It is a very cool experience watching the race. I wish there is a bet system that I can bet on winners to make more money :) 

Is there a way to control the mutation at all or it is just all random?

The pixel art is really nice, I just really wish I could pull that lever on the Mutation machine instead of the Button !! haha

The music is absolutely fantastic. The art style is very charming and does a good job of mixing the mutations. Overall super solid game, my main feedback would be with some QOL things as well as UI/UX.

It feels a bit odd to have to click on View Racers then Start race again. I feel like "Race" then "Start" would communicate that a little better. Not a big deal, once you understand the flow it makes sense. Also I wish there was like an accept mutate button for the mutations rather than having to go back to the menu then come back in.

Would love to see more mechanics, maybe more stages/challenges. Super fun!

I absolutely love the aesthetic, music and writing in this game! The gameplay reminds me of Horsey Game a ton, and it seems like it could be super addicting if yall decide to work on it more with more difficult races/tournaments, or the ability to gamble on a race. Either way I had a great time and this is a great submission!

Brilliant art and music. I loved how your animal is assembled from parts of others. But I’d like to be able to choose the mutations myself and speed up or skip the race, especially when you’re the first to cross the finish line. The animals art looks amazing.

Cool concept and visual style. Good job on the music as well, impressive you got this many tracks done! It would have been cool to see a bit more control over the mutations though since it seems like the winning strategy is just to spend all your money as soon as you get it. Nicely done overall though!

The music was very good, and I loved the intro cutscene and story. Good job on making all the animations work with the different mutations, that must have been hard! Sadly I got last place every time, my mutations kept making poor Sheldon slower and slower. Some choices on how to mutate him would help the game be less random I think.

Overall though, very good game with a very good use of the theme!

Would be nice to have a way to skip the race once you've won (some opponents are painfully slow), and also some sort of control over the mutations. But overall I enjoyed it a lot. Good job!

Damn that cheetah is fast. No wonder is the champ.

The music is stunning, I love it very much. Designs of the animal are also gorgeous. I will protect my Sheldon for the rest of my life, he turned out to be very nice and precious young turtle

Congratulations on successfully completing the game for this jam, and best of luck with your future projects!

Wow! This is a strong submission! Would have liked to have something to do maybe during the races but it was cool. I liked the art and the concept!

Cool game, I like how parts of animals morph with each other. I had a beaver tail cheetah body and turtle had. Reminds of Horsey Game, was that inspiration? I wish there was more control over what happens after mutation
