i LOVE the way this game looks, the aesthetic is so nice!

I think the mechanics are really interesting, and getting sleepy while driving really is exciting, but I think the game needs a better tutorial. The only real explanation of the mechanics that I recall, listed under the "tips," is worded a bit confusingly. It might help if a character explained the rules directly to you. Like, "There's nothing like crashing your car to wake you up! But be careful - if your car takes too much damage, you're out of the race!" I think maybe calling the racer's sleepiness their stamina is what's throwing me off, but that might just be a me thing.

I also think the second race is a bit confusing in the way it functions. It seems like the main gimmick of the game is the sleepiness mechanic, so the fact that the second race almost entirely ignores that mechanic feels a bit odd. It's definitely not bad, but it kind of just felt like I was playing a more straightforward racer. 

I'd be curious to see if there'd be more things to buy with money in a full game. Between each race, I DID top up my stamina and my car health, but it would be exciting if there were things like upgrades or car modifications.

Overall, though, I REALLY liked this game, and I think a full release would definitely be something special. The mechanics are really fun, and I LOVE the way it looks overall.

I played the game here on stream around 4:00

Hello, thank you for playing Sleepy Racers and leaving your review, I hope you enjoyed the experience. Definitely I have to work on a bunch of things for the next release, your review and other ones provided gave me a lot of super valuable data to improve the game.

  • About tutorial: In future versions we will try to make it more understandable. I am thinking about doing it more immersive like showing some advices during the race and other stuff.
  • The second track, the widowmaker one: The objective here was clearly to create a bit different type of experience to the player, so we can show the game can offer chaotic experience like the first track but accurate races like this one. We will be adding more tracks in the next releases.
  • About spending the money: There are some plans to add more services and car updates in the future.

I love your voice acting while you were playing the game, it was so fun and very accurate :)

Thank you again for the review. Please if you want get updates of the game, follow us to get more info about future updates and releases.
