Ka-phew ! I'm gonna lose my sandwich with all those ups and downs in the road. But WOW ! This is an awesome accurate 3D racer.

The motorcycle even LEANS over when he's making the turns. Nicely done. Well-deserved Gold star for you !


Thanks!


This is fun! It looks awesome but it's really playable - even with all the rolling hills and stuff turns are easy to interpret and stuff. Would love to see more tracks and stuff.


I thought this looked great when I saw it on twitter.
So cool to actually play it.
The big backgrounds and the colour dithering is really well done. Awesome stuff.


There we go. I think this is about as done as it's gonna get! I have Nine (9) tokens left. There's MAYBE a few more I could shave down, but from 1.0 to now I've probably reclaimed like 2k XD
