The concept is great!

THE GOOD:
- Racing games are always cool
- The loop being the course itself
- Voice acting is funny!
- Leaderboard!
- Instructions are in-game

THE BAD:
- The course is very difficult
- I only had patience for two laps :cry:

Cool mechanic, it is pretty hard to finish a lap though 😅

Couldn't finish a single lap but had so much fun with the voice acting. The controls are a bit clunky as well, but the idea is really nice. Good job on this entry!

Sonice the Hamster! Awesome game, loved the sound effects :D Would have been even better with a little bit tighter controls but really liked the concept.

Nice, cute concept & use of the theme and the sounds are adorable. I liked the physics-based gameplay, but the course felt pretty complex to play right off the bat. I never figured out how to get past the part where you have to go up the platforms. This almost feels like an "advanced" course, like it needs a beginner course to start out with. Also there were a lot of tools the player had to start with, particularly the grapple felt like it maybe wasn't strictly necessary. This would be great with some gameplay and level design tweaks. Nice work!

I wasn't able to complete a lap, but the physics and the sound effects were pretty fun. I agree with @adhesion that simplifying things could go a long way because the core concept is fun on its own. Congrats on a nice entry. :)

Cute game! It took me a while to get the controls down but I like the way momentum works once you figure it out. For me the hardest jump was the first one, the rest seemed much easier! The voices were really funny too.

Very cute! The sound effects were satisfying and it so was the movement. I had a bit of a harder time with the grapple but eventually figured it out! The level was really hard to navigate, and could've used a bit of a tutorial to get to this point!
