Interesting concept and mechanic! I was pretty confused on what to do and I couldn't find out how to reach my delivery. It seemed like the arrow had a mind of its own. Overall a cool little experience!

Difficult to play with a trackpad but nice little game.

Love the music. Not so sure how to change the direction, but I like the gameplay about pressing mouse to go forward.

I thought the controls were messed up ! but once I understood I was amazed ! Super funny that the best way to go fast is to way for the rhythm. the camera and graphics are not super but I really love the movement system

This was a really good idea and a really fun game. I think it was the potential of being a banger with more polish and gameplay elements. Would have love for the timing of "cycling" to be less tight, as it actually distracts from the game itself. Also, the music being to loud at the start almost gave me a heart attack haha

A little bit difficult to get used to the controls, but very nice concept :D I think I ran into a bug, the arrow stopped to show the correct direction

Aww, I feel like this *could* have been a lot of fun! :E The idea is great and it's a good use of the theme. The music is nice too. But I feel the same as the other commenters. I don't know if it's a bug but the arrow just rotated with the bike rather than pointing consistently in some direction so I had no clue where to go. I don't know if there was lag that made me feel like I wasn't able to hit on beat or if I'm just bad but since there wasn't really any feedback it was hard to tell. On the whole a cool concept that I'd love to see been made to work but unfortunately it's not quite there as it stands. 😅

I love the concept! The camera is a bit sensitive, and I couldn't always see the UI at the bottom, but it's a great idea. I think with some polish and maybe a tutorial it would be really strong!
