Okay yeah this game is badass. A very succinct and arcadey concept that actually has some really clean movement in it. It's a very entertaining time visually and the audio helps things properly feel cool. Getting into flow state in a game like this is absurd and it's sick that you can pull it off, great job
Easy controls mas hard to master. Fun game with good soundtrack. Well done!
I had some visual bugs on my side, not sure if it’s only for me:

Anyway it seems fun but the movement is a bit difficult for me. But sound and art are nice!
This game is really fun and when you get into the rhythm of things you can feel invincible, especially when driving through the police cars. However, the start can be a bit brutal with the number of cars spawning from the get go. Layer this with the slightly unintuitive movement and it took me a few attempts to get a serious run going. I can see how the steering mechanic in the game could help but in the moment it is honestly just better to do a 270 than try to steer and catch a 90 (at least in the early game, I'm sure after a long time you could get used to steering). The spinning mechanic also felt slightly unforgiving as if you are off by even a few milliseconds you end up driving in the complete wrong direction. This could be mitigated by allowing the car to drive in more directions, but I can see that this would require more sprites so understand if this was not implemented due to the time constraints of the jam. I enjoyed the visual and sound effects as you drive through the police cars :)
I think that the background music doesn't loop so that might be something worth fixing if you have the time.
Game has a lot of juice. Really enjoyed the steering hand and the visuals. The spin driving took a while to get used to but never really clicked for me. Overall enjoyable and can see the vision.
