Rhythm Racer by Jcweeden
GAME REQUIRES A CONTROLLER TO PLAY. - NOTE: It appears that driving controls are reversed on Windows (MOVING THE ANALOGUE STICK UP AND DOWN TURNS THE CAR LEFT AND RIGHT)
Rhythm Racer mixes the genres of Racing and Rhythm, forcing the player to complete two tasks simultaneously to win, with the winner being the first to complete three laps of the track. The game is two player local-multiplayer, requiring the use of a controller for each player.
As you drive around the course it is essential to simultaneously complete the rhythm game on the screen as well, otherwise your vehicle will only run at the slowest of speeds. The fuller the power bar, the faster you can drive.

A bit sad that this game is not available for keyboard players!!

Had a bit of trouble handling the car. It's a pretty weird mashup of genres and I really appreciate the effort you put in. There's so much to concentrate on though, if this was like full speed it'd just be a visual overload haha. It's fine for a bash though. Good job.

The idea is interesting and the feeling really nice, but I can not turn on the left! The music goes well to the game! The idea would be better for a straight line racing game such as dragster!

Good game, the music is nice but like the other guy said its confusing when there is too much stuff to concentrate on.

This has almost exactly the same name as mine, "Rhythm Racing"!

You really did a good job of following the theme, it is definitely two very different genres and I like the theme but it is very difficult to play, very hard to control the car. Otherwise the graphical theme and the music are very good.

Excellent music and mood. It was fun trying to drive and play the rhythm game at the same time. I had some trouble driving the car though; the commands are reversed?

I believe you are right @ElusiveMilestone, I think the controls are off for Windows and instead moving the analogue stick up and down instead of left and right will turn the car. This would explain a lot of the other comments saying they could not steer the car. I will look to implement a fix for this, thank you for the feedback :)

Solid take on the theme but a little confusing to play. Car was too easy to get stuck and was confused at the choice to put accelerate on the left trigger? Still, all round solid entry.
