Bit rough around the edges but a good try.
Biggest problem was that one part of the world seems to cause the car to turn on its own, near a group of trees.
Thank you for playing my Game.
I hope you had fun.
I know, that this bug exists. The truth is, that i was not able to fix it.
Was it still playable?
With best regards

Also, I think it was the "weapons" that the sceptics brought, but it was bright and pink like the boost, and I didn't think it was a bad thing to avoid. Maybe think about how you could make it more obviously something to avoid?
Thank you for Playing:)
I am glad you've enjoyed playing my game.
The thing with the automiatc steering is a bug. I knew about it, but didn't know how to fix it. When i think back, I should have turned it into a feature and place at this spot something that would visually drag you inside it, so it's no suprise anymore. But that's the great about Game devlopment. Each time you create a game you learn and improve your skills.
The thing with the misplaced colors was not clear for me during the jam. To my defense, the Enemies where one of the last things I've implemented and it was very late. But you're right, i should have taken another color.

Thank you for playing:)
Actually the drifting thing was intentional.
But i didn't had the time to playtest a lot.
So maybe i should have removed it. I don't know.
I tried to imitate the drifting of Mario Cart, but i didn't work that well.

Thank you for playing my game:)
Actually the immediate boost thing is not a bug. It was intentionally.
With best regards Max
Thank you for playing:)
I am really glad the crashing into factories feels statisfying.
This was my goal.
That's why i've added camerashake, paricles and sound

Mostly it just lacks polish in a number of spots. There are overlapping UI elements (1440p monitor), sometimes it's hard to keep the car in a straight line (probably because we're driving on a sphere) and after dying, you have to exit with Alt+F4 (at least Escape didn't do anything).
But as I said, these are not major issues, so good job!
Thanks you for playing:)
Thanks you for your Feedback:)
Next time i'll try do these things better.
But about the alt +f4 Thing, there should be a restart Button. Is there None, If you Play it?
With best regards max:)
Yeah, there is a replay button, which definitely works fine if you want to replay the game. But there is no exit button in case you want to exit the game :P But again, that is totally okay. In my previous entries I also forgot that a couple of times or simply didn't have enough time. For me it's just all a part of the fun and learning experience of this event! :)
ahh, now i understand
ok
PS.: I can't figure out why I can't rate your game.
Still, all in all a good game and well done with the hill like driving.
The "weapons" looked like the boosts, which was confusing.
I'm glad you let the player restart at the last wave.
