Nice entry. I like the idea of the reaction time boost and the uneven countdown to throw you off, though I did find spamming the button to be the most effective strategy, so maybe a penalty for pressing earlier could prevent that. Well done!

Developer

Yeah being able to spam the button was a bit of an o oversight, whoops

The game is reminiscent of those 2016 mobile games where you had to shift gears at the right time. Here, a little miscalculation and reflexes will help you get through. It looks solid. Thanks for playing and participating in the jam!

Developer

Thanks that's very kind, glad you enjoyed

Really nice entry! I was pleasantly surprised to see that this has a permanent upgrades system, I wasn't expecting that but it was definitely a fun addition!

Keep up the good work!

very cool game! loved the idea of using your reaction time to determine how fast the car goes. one thing that would have been nice to have would be some other way to control the car, like steering, to introduce some difficulty. also i quickly found that you can cheese the game by just spamming the go button because there are no penalties for pressing it early. but other than that, i enjoyed it a lot!

Developer

Thank you, glad you enjoyed it! Yeah the spamming was a bit of an oversight. Steering is a great idea, will add it to future versions!

nice game, it took me way too long to realize that I need to time the go button. I was wondering why my car was going so slow.

Developer

Glad you enjoyed it! I will try to make the countdown function clearer in future versions.

Cool game, I gave up trying to time it and just started to spam the go button

Glad you enjoyed it, yeah the option to spam was bit if an oversight by me, but oh well.

Very nosttalgic vibes. Both visual style and gameplay loop remind me of good old Flash times

Nice that's what I was aiming for, glad you enjoyed it.

nice game. stopped after reaching just over 500 mph and losing. The meta progression is nice but it feels like you lose a bit too much when go under a second which lead me to just hoard my wealth once I got to about 1.3 seconds until I was on maybe lap 20 at which point I was able to get up to atleast 40 gear from that alone. even on the first run, the timer never really seemed to be an issue. the game itself was quite fun and I enjoyed it.(apologies if you got multiple notifications, I don't know why but itch decided to send this comment 3 times)

Thank you, loved reading this and I'm glad you enjoyed it. Yeah the numbers probably need tuning a tad.

After a while I got  a lap in 2.6 seconds! Gear 10 babyyy

In terms of feedback, I think it's not ideal that the core countdown system devolves into button spam, but I liked the art/audio and the vibes

Developer

Thanks so much for playing, glad you enjoyed it. Yeah that was not the intention for the countdown and in hindsight I would have added a false start system.
