Great little game for pocket-sized speed freak fun. I just wrote up a bit of a fuller review here: https://6days.exmosis.net/2024/08/11/playdate-review-funny-racer/

I got the catalog version and just came here to tell you all how great this game is. It's pretty addicting and the Playdate racing game I have been waiting for. Keep up the great work!

Thanks so much! It's always awesome to hear people loving the game.

excelente juego, lo he disfrutado mucho, menos la musica. es demasiado pasiva. existira un modo carrera con las jugadores?

Hey! So happy you are loving it. The music is annoying and think I will work on that eventually. I am also brainstorming about how to make a career mode and I think I am getting close to actually beging working on it.

Yes please to career mode!, and maybe one day a mission mode like in Mario Kart DS?

Really love this one, controlling the car with the crank feels great and responsive. Definitely worth the purchase!


Edit: I can't believe I just figured out the 10-lap mode times count towards the best lap times, would've made unlocking the cars easier haha!

dommage qu'on ne puisse pas courir contre des autres voitures.

100%! I am thinking about a few things to come in the future but am on a small break from development.

Ça semble super fun à jouer. L'ovale fonctionne, mais sur le menu de sélection de Le Mans la console crash à chaque fois.

Hi! Thank you so much for reporting this. I just fixed it and the DEMO should work now!
