The graphics are great and nail the early GTA \/ Hotline Miami look. The controls fit the theme well but are a bit odd. I was not expecting it to always travel up and that feels a bit wrong to me. I was thinking it should just steer like a normal top down driver but the advantage to the way you have done it is that it always self centers traveling up so you don't have to fight left and right to keep it going straight if you have a digital control like a keyboard.

I loved the neonlight effect it gave and the chiptune-soundtrack helped to complement it quite a bit.\r\rThe mechanics were interesting and although it took me a little while to get used to them, they served their purpose pretty well. They they were definitely complemented by the procedural design that kept me a bit on my toes.\r\rOnly downside I could think of was that, although it was accentuated by the shifting levels, it did get a bit repetitive after a while. But then again, as this was after all made in a jam, I do understand the limitations.\r\rAll in all though, well done and I did enjoy the ride.
