Fun game. Really didn't get the theme though. I saw your point that hackers are monsters, but it didn't feel like I was doing hacking for some nefarious purpose, I was just driving. A little back story might have helped.
That said, the game was fun, clean controls that rewarded you for not oversteering. Well done!
I think the explanation is a little too far from the theme. generally speaking you dont want to have to explain the connections of your game to the central theme. regardless, it was a simple, fun, as well as looked and ran smoothly.
@undef Hacking is a crime that makes people lose their money, lose their jobs... It can terrorize the population in the same way that a 'real' monster can.
Nice effort, it would be better if the player decelerated by itself (right now you have to press the opposite direction to slow down) and if the game was getting harder and harder with time. I did 3-4 poor attempts to get used to the controls, then I scored 2180 points.

Is a nice game, i specialy like the graphics, but you should add more gameplay, i.e make the game go faster or have different gates or something to make the game not beeing the same all the time. Anyway i like it, great job!

Nice game with fun gameplay, although the theme feels a bit forced. Yes, you said I'm a monster hacker, but I didn't feel like neither.
Score: 2489 The gameplay, obviously, is rather unoriginal. Usually games of this genre have you move with the keys, so to turn with the keys is a nice change. Visually, it works, but isn't fantastic looking. My main problem is how slow it is to restart and to access menus. There's an excruciatingly long fade out for no good reason. I had fun though.
Fun gameplay which with some extra tweaking and levels of complexity could be super addictive and fun to play - fantastic first entry to LD :) keep up the goodwork!
Nice little entry! The car is somewhat difficult to control, but I got the hang of it after a little while. It's not an incredibly innovative idea, but it's a good first entry. I also didn't feel like I was a monster (or even much of a hacker, at that); perhaps next time you should focus on creating an game that fits in better with the theme. 3/5 overall.
P.S. I like that you used Khan Academy for Ludum Dare. ;)
Interesting artstyle solution! It would be nice if the car broke into 1s and 0s if hit an obstacle. I liked that you forgive slight player's errors (like just slightly touching the firewall)

Calling hackers monsters seems far fetched to me (and probably offensive to some people).
Anyway i like it, great job!
I also like the graphic ;D
well done!

Lack of audio makes it hard to enjoy the game more, but it was cool while the game lasted.
