I kinda liked the upgrade idea but they didn't seem to make much difference.

Er. Yeah. Simply holding right on the very first race nets you a 09.96 time. Might wanna double-check how you're handling your inputs.

Putting that aside, nice little game. Clean graphics, good audio. Nothing groundbreaking gameplay-wise, but it works. (Well, aside from that one thing I mentionned.)

Good job!

Simple game but good job. I liked it. I featured this game in my video compilation series of Ludum Dare 27 games, if you'd like to check it out :) http://youtu.be/biBzDWmV3kc

I didn't really get it and so it ended up taking me a minute to not even complete the first race. I kinda like the idea though, I love mashing buttons. :D

The upgrades didn't seem of much difference but okay game overall...

Yeah, the controls are broken. I can get less than 10 seconds if you just hold left or right.

The controls are kinda weird/hard. Or I just suck.

Absolutely the controls I intended to use are broke, just hold the right key and you should beat 10s. I guess I'll fix that after the competition has ended.

Too bad the game is broken. Kinda makes the whole upgrade part useless. But I had that in mind while rating, so don't worry. The audio and graphics are great by the way.

A little too easy since you can just hold "right" and immediately win.

eh... there's really not much gameplay here, the music was good, but this whole thing leaves a lot to be desired, keep up the good work though! I look forward to seeing future entries :)

I like that there's upgrades in the game.

A cool idea might be to have a circuit of races and have some smaller ones that the player could win at to compete at the bigger "10 second" race?

Controls were cool.

Not bad, but way too easy. I'm glad I didn't have to mash buttons, though. With another control scheme, this would be a lot of fun.

I had a bug where I could run, but there was no time running, the screen said "click here" and the camera did not follow my man. Anyway, getting points and upgrading for getting better is a nice concept :D
