Even the first level was tough. I think part of that comes down to the camera angle. It's tough to see what's coming and even tougher to figure out the depth of the 15 objects I can see ahead of me. It made it a little frustrating to play for me, but being able to skip around to different levels was helpful. I got to *see* the boss even if I never actually beat him. Speaking of, I got to level 5! Anyway, the racing\/puzzle game is a cool angle, but I think it needed some adjustments to make the game a little easier.\n\nAlso, if you want to see another take on the theme, check out my tower-defense\/golf game, [Puttsy](https:\/\/ldjam.com\/events\/ludum-dare\/41\/Puttsy).","likes":2,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"gilborn","author_uid":"1007830","time":"2018-04-24T15:57:34Z","epoch":1524585454,"modified":1524585516,"text":"That was hard, probably absurdly hard, but also fun ^^ \nThe landscape and graphics were nice, on the downside the music was repetative.\nI liked how you introduced new level elements and combined them in later levels (although they stand very close to each other).\n\nI think in this game there was no need to include a time limit, the other suicide driver do this job as well ;-)","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Shape","author_uid":1081755,"time":"2018-04-24T16:17:51Z","epoch":1524586671,"modified":1524586671,"text":"@morrilet @gilborn haha and i thought the game was too easy \ud83d\ude05.
