Theme Interpretation
I interpreted 'Retro' to be 'going backwards'. So it's a racing game about driving backwards.

Fun take on the theme, goofy physics, and a mix of funny and frustrating spinning out every four seconds. I didn't mind it
Racing going backwards, sounds familiar in these times.
I really like the interpretation of the theme, even if it made it nearly impossible to drive haha. Car could have done with being a bit more weighty, but I appreciate that spinning out is sort of the point! Nice work
This was a fun spin on the theme! I am impressed with the physics. There were a few times I spun out and it made me smile. Great job!
I see a fellow
masochistVehicleBody3D enjoyer ;) Nice game, I had fun! I've run it in firefox and it worked flawlessly for me (no freezes and good framerate) btw.Felt interesting to drive backwards! I'm impressed by the physics!
Really original and fun interpretation of the theme.
Didn't I tell you? This is how I normally drive hahaha. I spun out a lot, maybe reverse drifting is your next title?
This was honestly pretty fun! Car felt good to drive backwards, and I like the interpretation of the theme. I do think some retro aesthetics/music to go along with the 'going backwards' thing would've solidified its ties to the theme
Controls were really hard and lacking some music, but still a good game! was fun!
I agree with the other commenter about wayfinding. Overall, it's an interesting twist to normal racing! The game did cause my web browser to completely freeze twice. I suspect it has something to do with me using firefox lol
moorv moorv! I love the unique take on the theme. I was wondering how driving backwards would be different gameplay wise, but it is! The handling definitely doesn't just feel like a car with its mesh flipped backwards, it was super slidey, so that was fun! The web export sound was pretty nightmarish tho, at least playing on lower spec laptop. One QoL thing that would be nice would be more wayfinding, I got flipped around so hard that after resetting I had no idea which way was forward anymore. Nice work!
