really nice experience! the lighting effects on the rain/fog are really great and the first time the firework went off i actually gasped out loud! beautiful!

i get that the experience is a meditative one, but it felt slightly too sluggish. not a pacing issue but a gamefeel one perhaps?

great audio also - nice stuff

Great job synchronizing the visual effects with the audio. I liked the atmosphere quite a bit. Wished that I could have made the car go faster, but still enjoyed the experience. Got 11 orbs by the end of it. Well done!

Really great job creating a mood/atmosphere here. Love the look and sound of this. After the music faded away at the end I wasn't sure if it had ended so I kinda just did donuts in the clouds for a while and eventually gave up and closed the game. Probably some kind of clear its over/keep waiting indication there would help. Other than that though, I loved it. It was good enough that I waited around after it ended in case there was more I didn't want to miss.

the rain blur is ingenious. it makes greatly get into the mood of driving at a rainy night with a very very low sight. great interpretation of theme. smooth and clear execution makes this game stand with polish I believe and because of that I will keep this game on my mac :) keep up the good work!

I like your vibe but I do agree with an earlier comment I read which was that it felt a bit slow paced. I think the concept is cool and again the mood / vibe is quite nice but honestly I was just a bit bored while playing. I felt like my car was crawling along at like 3 miles per hour. There weren't really any obstacles to avoid to make me feel engaged. I was really just playing to find out what happened at the end. I like your visual effects. The rain looked nice and the clouds also look great.

Wow! Impressive aesthetics, the lighting and blurring mixed with the music creates a really nice mood and that first explosion/fireworks that lights the scene up - very cool!

Great track, nice simple low poly environment works really well!

I liked this, it's an interactive music video of sorts, layering the track off of the orbs collected, very creative!

Well Done!

I simply love the mood! The graphics and music play really well together and make this an enjoyable experience. At times I wished I could move faster but I think that could've also ruined the mood a bit. I'm not sure how well this hit the theme but I also didn't really care while playing. :-)
