It's an interesting concept, though honestly i couldn't fully "feel" the car itself. I think the responsiveness feels sluggish and probably needs to be more sensitive. Also that spinning tube was brutal, i couldn't get past that :P But a good concept to further work on and good work neverthelss!

I think that this is a very cool idea! It could be really fun to control all four wheels, it is an interesting mechanical challenge!
Unfortunately, at the current state, it is a bit to hard to get past the spinning tube..
My car kept flipping over at the spinning bar part. I'm not sure how to get enough speed to clear that. Also, it seems like the high score is based on time but you can just sit in one spot and collect infinite score time. Great job overall though, keep up the game dev journey!
Would love for the car to be faster, and the turning to be more responsive in order to handle that speed. The Game level design that part comes second on the priority list. Once you have the physics and controls improve, the level design will also get a lot more fun as it will give you more freedom and more possibilities. Great job tho, I like the overall concept and I'm looking forward to seeing more of this!
I love the mechanics of this game. To be able to control the car by its wheels is a unique spin like driving a tank. Same with the previous comment, I feel like the car is very slow to be able to pass through the obstacles. Maybe a little tweak on it would really make it enjoyable. The game has a nice visuals, music and audio feedback. Overall, it's a great game with potential. I'd like to how you could improve it in the future. Congratulations!
I generally like the concept of a racing game with QWOP controls, but the gameplay needs a lot of tuning. The car feels way too slow. Sometimes I feel like my inputs don't really change the car's trajectory. The obstacles also feel either too easy or impossibly hard. Slowing the speed of the spinners to give a fast car a chance at passing and making the car at least 3x as fast would make this game instantly more fun.
controls are too hard , didnt even got what are the controls doing even after so much time given in game , i would really advice to improve that part , it wasnt playable for me atleast
