Throw Me Daddy ! by sleepyGrin
The Plot
You're a Dad. A good one. But something terrible happened and here you are in your car, trying to gather many of your children as possible, but time is running out ! The more you have, the faster you go, the harder it is to not crash into a wall. Fortunately, your sons are excellent projectiles !
Controls
Everything is explained in game do not worry ! However i think i can repeat it here for you: - Arrow Keys to move your wonderful car - Shift + Arrow Key to drift like a mad dad !

Well played !
Mais gg pour l'amour porté à Bob. What a great game.
I tried edge as well but it won't even load there.
edit: Got it to work after going fullscreen.
The turning mechanic feels really bad. Turning too early just stops the car, but turning too late kills you. In this state, I don't see any incentive to not just turn early and safely strafe through the corner. Since the turn kills the momentum, it lacks any of the enjoyment of a typical "drift" mechanic.
Performance was really bad in chrome. Not sure why, I've seen a few other unity games with this problem though, so I'm assuming the problem may be in chrome or unity, not your game specifically. A GTX 1070 + Threadripper 1950x should have no trouble with this.
Graphics had a nice consistency, this could be fun with some tweaked mechanics.
Nice work!
@tommy Thank you tommy ! The main problem of the game is clearly the controls and the game feel, i'd be looking forward to it for the next game :D
Apart from that good game but very difficult to turn without any problem like colliding with the outside of the track or not hitting the right keys, en somme : frustrant >< !
Good reflexion on the theme, guys !See ya !

Overall, great job!
also R button is not working if you already died
and it's not normal for car to move in ortogonal direction to it's tires
but anyway, GJ!
