@FireHawk thank for your review, I will check your game and provide the corresponding feedback late today!

I also updated the game fixing some bugs and adding feedback to the player, so you may want to check again if you have time :)

(All devs cries during LDJAM, am I right or is just me? :P)

I like the idea of a DDR + racing game mashup. But I wish they were blended together more. It really just feels like playing 2 completely separate games in splitscreen.
Each individual game felt fairly polished. Graphics worked well, good music choices, and good job with the feedback sounds. I think the sound for successfully hitting a DDR note was a little too loud, and should probably be more of a percussive sound (like a snare drum or cymbal sound instead of a synthesizer note).
I beat it on the first try, so I guess I still got those Stepmania skills! It would be nice if the game had some kind of difficulty option (maybe just increasing note speed + driving speed).
The "racing" mechanics also felt less interesting than the DDR mechanics. Even though it was more challenging than DDR, it felt more like an "Infinite Runner" game than a real "Racing" game. I think it might have been more interesting with an acceleration button, or a steering/drifting mechanic. Or maybe lean more into "Infinite Runner" mechanics, and add powerups that give you a boost, or give you invincibility on the DDR screen. Alternatively, you could add DDR rewards that give your car a boost if you get a good combo.
Overall, I definitely had fun with the game. Even though the basic mechanics were simple, they were well polished and successful.

That was pretty fun, I love rhythm games. I think having to dodge barrels at the same time sort of detracted from the rhythm game aspect, tho. The art was really nice- great job!

Thanks for your reviews @blushine, @team-infernus and @jeffchen.

On the begin I wanted to use the same controls for both sides of the screen, but I didn't see the challenge for the player. I may create a branch and test some of what you guys said.

Nice attempt but it's extremely difficult to be focused on both aspects of the game.
With this game, you have to put the car, the barrels and the arrows on the same track/road in order to help player to see everything.

You know what? I loved this. A few goes in and I won. Reminds me of some experiemental shooters I players where you control two ships or have a split screen to deal with multiple threats. Really enjoyed this, thank you for making it!

one suggestion is to make the colours of the arrows stand out more from the track. That's it though! wonderful. Top marks on fun and theme from me :)

This was hella' fun. I loved how you could try the controls in the tutorial screen, that was a nice touch.

I ended up playing with 'hjkl' because my 'a d' and left/right arrows were conflicting. If anything I think it played better with 'hjkl'. Good job!

It reminds me of a game I saw at EGX Rezzed in London called Double Kick Heroes.

Well done!

Art looks game, game concept is cool. Would love to see an updated version where the rythm part matches the music.
