Stop Motion is an extreme form of racing, where you can't brake! You are stuck in a loop through the track until you can reach the rival car, that has the braking fluid you need to be able to stop your motion.
Controls:
Turn left [A / <-] Turn right [D / ->] Pause [P] Advance dialog [Any key] Go to next level after win [Any key]

Hotfix Changelog: - Fixed music tracks only looping the intro - Fixed wrong music track in the tutorial - Fixed intro helicopter displaying as black rectangle in web for some people - Fixed end scene switching to main menu immediately after starting - Added controls to description - Added the soundtrack to the itch page
It's not immediately obvious that you can skip the text in the cutscene by pressing keyboard keys. also, my opinion was that the music was annoying because it was so repetitive.
That being said, the core gameplay loop is extremely solid, which is a difficult thing to get right, so nice work.
Reaaaaaaaaaaly long intro. Aaand I failed to catch the car with the fluid, which left me unsure if it's possible to catch it at all. But it's still fun and bright.
@bottini We had to make a short loop for the tutorial and intro, but that dragged on for longer than we thought it would so it was really obvious that the loop was too short, and as for the music of levels 1 and 2 we didn't notice a bug on export that made the intro for each track loop (whereas it should have ended and give place to a longer loop). Really pissed about that one because there was a lot of work on the music and most of it isn't in the game lmao, thanks for the feedback!
...did I just see a TV announcer in a banana suit riding helicopter blades? Nice! Funny intro. Controls are smooth and responsive. I had fun trying to chase after the cars, even if took me a while ;) Even slightly bumping into walls seems to cause a notable setback and feels a little bit punishing. First level could maybe use a touch more eye candy; the trees in the second level were a nice touch.
Simple but well executed mechanics. The only thing is, that it feels quite repetitive after 3 Laps if you have not finished the level. So I got bored quite fast. But all in all, simple but good entry.
Very cool concept ! It has been years since I've played a 2d top down race game like this and I must this is the best one I've played ! The mechanics are great, the game is easy to play, easy to handle, I would like more levels please ^^
Graphics were really awesome. Sound was also cool. The physics of the actual game a little wonky, but it was still fun.
I loved details like the main menu, the helicopter intro with banana man and the head movement of the driver while steering. Space track was also a nice touch :)
I had a lot of fun with this. Had a few laps of confusion until I realised the chase car keeps largely to the middle, and the trick is to keep an eye on the map for the bends to minimise the distance between that and the player car. I think level 4 could possibly benefit from a different background - I found it a little disorientating, and didn't really give a good sense of acceleration for the car. That aside, I had a lot of fun with the game.
Really funny commentator on the helicopter, it added an extra layer to the whole game. I could imagine this would be even crazier with a few more cars on the track, but it was fun to drive around. Thanks for making a cool game!
I really like the game mood. The game is not really difficult, but the track design can leads the player into a very pleasant experience. I would love to see the game updated with new mechanics increasing the difficulty. I also loved the CRT mode, it gives the game a new atmosphere. It is a great job!
Great 90s kids tv vibe, love the art and the audio and all the little details that make this thing come to life! Gameplay was pretty fun! Though I think the levels were a little imbalanced. Also I think the player needs more interaction, and more obstacles to avoid to make the difficulty curve a little more interesting.

It's nice overall.
Keep up!
I had to drive like 20 laps until I've figured out a way to catch up with the opponent :). The mechanics is simple, but quite catchy.Great job!

Well done!
Also, loved the music with the corrections
