The game is really good and funny!It runs smooth and cool handling. But the problem is the sound, the engine sound is really annoying at the end, so I had to take it off :/ Again, really good entry! :D

Nice, my original idea was for a carmageddon/road rage game too! Fun to play but the sound makes me wants to shift up !

So much fun. Control scheme is perfect, though it seems hitting the sidewalk slows you down a bit too much, every time i end up on the sidewalk, I can't get off before the cops ram me to pieces.

Driving game! Awesome.

Watch out for pedestrians. Suuuuuuure.

The window wouldn't respond to clicking the close button and I had to end the process.

Cool game with some nice functionality. Like others said, it's worth bringing the engine noise down a bit. Hitting the sidewalk is also a pretty big pain; I got wedged between two of those grey things and it took me ages to maneuver out.

Thanks for the comments
Sorry about the close button. At anytime you can hit 'Esc' to quit the game.

Lesson learned about the engine noise. ;(
I created a drop in replacement file that's half the volume if anyone wants. [http://www.kerneltrick.com/download/car2.wav]

At first I was wondering, why is there a blood splatter every time I hit a green cactus? :) Nice game!

Very fun. The only problem is that the only way to quit is to open up task manager.

Fun, lots of collision bugs and man are those cops homicidal! It's a complete game, yeay! And not ridiculously hard. I liked it! Lots of potential.

I found the controls a little too difficult, I kept getting stuck in the walls.

cute game. too short! also i found the sound a bit obnoxious. the controls reminded me of all the frustrations i used to get playing micro machines/rc pro am =D, but they were definitely appropriate given the title.

Nice game. I wish there was a way to get health back while on the run. sometimes i got jammed between two cop cars and i would lose all my health

The sounds get annoying quickly.

Eh, nice idea. I was having fun (really!) and then I started to hit the walls. Sometimes it took me half a minute to slowly edge my way back out of one. nice graphics.

Nice car control! I like the way the car slides. Anyway is too easy to damage the car. Engine sound is very annoying! :'D

Totally love the graphics. Those retro style detailed inserts are a great touch too. Polished game overall, aside from the slightly annoying engine sound.

Unfortunately it has nothing to do with the theme. The typical video game hero is more villainous :P

Also I couldn't close nor restart the game, had to create another instance every time I wanted to retry.
