The game is very fast-paced and easy to learn. Really liked the sound effects and the music, which matches the vibe of the game. The sound effects give you the sense of immersion but not too much and it gives you the right amount of excitement.

I appreciate that the 'powerups' are sometimes both reversals themselves, and also in that case a reversal since it's a lot harder to drive under their influence, so to speak!

Damn hot car. But in all seriousness the concept is simple and fun. The more I played the more I wanted to get better. The music is also catchy. Good job.

Thank you for your feedback! We really appreciate it! Hey, as for getting better, there's ways to use disadvantages in game to your advantage, mess around and test out different interactions with the cars and see what you can do! Also try to beat my personal highest score of 926!

I appreciate being farted on when I crash the car. Kept me coming back for more. I think that it’s an important life lesson to know that no matter what happens in life—even if you get 500 or even 926 points—you will get farted on. Additionally, the subtle messaging regarding police brutality really hits. Literally.

Thank you for your feedback!!! I really am glad you enjoyed the game! And yes, no matter who you are, what you do, you'll get farted on, and hey, that's okay :)

This is so fun! The movement is great and the concept is funny. It's very challenging, especially discerning the dark red(?) cars (that may be my colourblindness). The sound effects were a nice touch too! Probably the most purely enjoyable game I've played yet!

I'm so glad you enjoyed it! It's a difficult game for sure, although for the future we will take into consideration the possible issues our players might face such as color blindness and so on. Thank you for playing!

Really nice game. Love the movement, it feels very fluid . but i did feel like hitting the cars was a bit too punishing

Thank you for the feedback! Im glad you liked the game, yeah, the game was meant to be difficult and punishing, though theres definitely some work to be done to add an easier difficulty in the beginning of the game. Thank you!
