A mix of a racing game and a VN, why not. :P

Couldn't figure out what to do after driving to the end of the first level, is that the end of the game?

...and the broken English threw me off a bit.

It's the same for me - at the end of the first level the game just freezes for a bit and then I can drive into the infinity and nothing would happen. Was really looking forward to play this one, so I'll wait for a bugfix. But even so I can tell that the models and the art style are really pretty, good job!

What was the game about? Sorry, this pretty girl distracted all my attention. But seriously, I really liked it, it’s a cool idea. Hah I realized that it was a bad idea to crash because the car was starting to drive incredibly slowly. Psst, guys, your floor is messed up in a couple of places.

In the story game, I wanted to strangle the talking head because of its disgusting voice acting. The lvl design is also strange, there are empty lots around the road behind the houses, there is no feeling that you are driving through the city. Overall the game could be good, but there are a lot of things that need improvement

I see cool gameplay and a lot of ambitions in this game and a lot of effort was put into the tutorial and the character's story.

didn't manage to get past tutorial: after the girl asks to "return to the start" i run out of time and the game freezes after i click "continue". arcade mode has broken pedestrians who run at the speed of sound and run over the car ^_^ drifting feels nice though

oh, and please, don't add those annoying sounds to imitate speaking :_:

Graphics: The girl is really cute looking, and the car looks nice enough.

Mechanics: I liked the way the screen was moving along with me riding a car. Not sure what the timer was for, I pressed continue after it ran out and was just stuck. If I am at the time limit (which I honestly didn't notice before zooming the page out a little ^^') then ig I should be just told off for exceeding it and thrown back to main menu or something?

Audio: The "voice" of the girl made me feel like I am watching hentai xD (and that brake stick on the picture down left, lol) The music felt a bit overwhelming, had to turn it down, though I think such pumping music should be a good fit for a car game.

Text: I assume English is probably not your 1st language so if you get someone who is a native/good at English to proofread, that would be nice.

I liked the top-down 3D perspective and the way the tutorial was integrated into the dialogue. I wasn't sure what to do on the big city level and when I ran out of time the game stopped responding to input.

LMAO MIKU IN A TRASH CAN

Nice game ! Feels a little bit slow and hard to control (even with the braking and drifting) however.
I like the pixelart graphics, the sprites are really well done (especially Miku in the trash can), and the art of the girl as well is nicely done, with different styles so I wonder if other people than you worked on the project as it isn't written.
The music was really cool as well, nice choice of tracks.

The story is fun, but you should probably have sent the script to someone so they could proofread it, because calling someone "sweaty" instead of "sweety" is kind of an insult lmao. The story was funny, especially the ending. Is there any more story after you ||run over the guy and the girl goes like "I know places with many more people to run over. Is the girl real, or just him being completely crazy so he imagines her ? I kinda get the feeling it is the latter. Nice story yeah, I'm curious about the rest now lol.||


The arcade mode is fun, getting the letters is nice and murdering pedestrians with no remorse as well lol. Love the fact that if you run over the dog you restart, cause doggy clearly deserves life and pedestrians do not (wait whaat??).

Very cool way to integrate a story into a tutorial :smile: I also had the problem that at some point I didn't know what to do in the big city level and was just waiting for the time to run out, but tried the arcade mode afterwards. Liked the mood of this one, reminded me of Need for Speed. Also the motor sound were sometimes hilarious when you are just driving with like 20mph :smile:
