Practically it interpolates between the normal, car on ice model, and a perfect one, where the car is always heading where it's pointing, based on speed.\r\rThe crash is caused by a bug in Game Maker's sound engine. Unfortunately I can't do anything about it."},{"author_name":"bradleypollard","author_uid":"17874","time":"Dec 17, 2012 @ 2:36pm","epoch":1355754660,"text":"It's some mindless fun, can't complain there. I think the time attack style is beneficial in the style of game you have, and the physics when you hit dudes is appealing. \rOne complaint I will raise is you get stuck on walls really easily. Not like, stuck so you can't move, but once you hit a wall it's hard to turn away from it cause every time you touch it again you get turned back towards it."},{"author_name":"bradleypollard","author_uid":"17874","time":"Dec 17, 2012 @ 2:38pm","epoch":1355754780,"text":"Ah man, how did I forget to say, you can spin donuts.
