The idea is okay, and I really like the music. For me the levels felt a bit too random generated, and it was mostly the levels that determined how long I got. But overall an okay little jam game.

This game is pretty nice; in terms of innovation it's flawless and I've never played anything similar to this one; it was pretty fun but everything seems to be going on too fast and as a player I don't have enough time to make decisions about which block I need to grab. But the game is really enjoyable overall; keep up the good work :D

There's definitely something going on when mixing racing with strategy.

An interesting mix of an endless runner and strategy! really good innovation in that mix! well done!

as they have already said, the combination of strategy and racing is very good, very original and fun.
I miss a better control of the slow down mode, it is a bit rough, otherwise the rest very well

it's a shame the level-generation/design determines when you loose - the red parts you just can't cross. That breaks the game somewhat. Otherwise fun!

Thanks for the feedback everyone! I'm sorry to hear that the random generation of the blocks doesn't always let you cross over the obstacle, it's implemented in a way that they should always cover the same volume depending on the tile that they spawn on. I guess it's the classic case of the developer feeling like a game is easier than it really is, I'll have to keep that in mind more often.

Nice audio! It sounds particularly good when it slows down. Clicking on blocks didn't always work for me, which was a bit frustrating, but when it worked it was a great mechanic.

It's good that you have objects to unbalance the car, The slow mo system was great I wish there were more instructions, Audio is good, Good game and Good luck! :smile:
