Drift well to appease your deity. The more pleased they are, the more upgrade points you have for your car. But make sure to stay within the time limit and not to crash too hard - once you're dead you have to start over!

Points of Criticism:
- Starts are confusing. I wish my car had a distinctive colour.
- I don't see how the others influence my outcome. I can just come in dead last and get points.
- I wish there was a minimap.

But after I finished the first race I was pleasantly surprised! Neat idea to combo these!

@blubberquark thanks for playing!

> I wish there was a minimap.

I did think of implementing a minimap but just never got around to it.

> I don’t see how the others influence my outcome. I can just come in dead last and get points.

Yeah, they don't really do anything except make it a bit harder to maneuver I guess. At first I thought you would have to compete with them, but I underestimated how difficult it is to make a competent AI. I went with a time limit instead and just left the opponents anyway.

Thanks for the feedback!
