The fuel doesn\u2019t run out and there\u2019s no damage, so it lacks a bit of challenge. Visibility is a bit low compared to the tank\u2019s sliding, so you end up hitting walls and bombs quite often. Since there\u2019s data displayed in the UI, I think more mechanics were planned. I guess you just ran out of time to make it really fun.","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":1160905,"author_name":"Crowelian","author_uid":"crowelian","epoch":1759763142,"text":"This is a good start!","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":1174896,"author_name":"NiceKot","author_uid":"nicekot","epoch":1759969103,"text":"Huh, I actually liked it.
