How Long Is What the Car??

Not as good as What The Golf
Coming from What The Golf, I thought this would have been a very enjoyable, polished and chilling experience.
It is very polished indeed, but not enjoyable and chilling as I would have liked.

Compared to the golf game, the physics based system here is too hard to "control", resulting often in frustration because you need to be way more precise in your movement (I've played on mobile if that changes anything).
It seemed like it was too much QWOP or Getting Over It, like this game was more meant to be played by streamers than players.
While with the golf game I had fun trying to 100% every level, here I've stopped very soon doing that, and after finishing world 3 I decided to drop it.
The levels also get boring very fast if you look for twists and different takes, it's always a racing game just longer car, or rocket car, and a few other variations that changes more visually then gameplay.
Also, the silliness is not as fun or clever as in the golf game, or maybe it already got stale for me. It felt too repetitive, like the levels.
Playing on mobile, it's a pity that …

Playing on mobile, it's a pity that this game, unlike the golf one (I feel a bit bad doing so many comparison lol), was not thought to optimize the mobile play style, starting from the fact that it's in landscape instead of portrait.

Visually it's very pleasant, and I like that you can explore the level map, which is cute (even though a level selection mode after you complete a world would be necessary).
It is obviously a very well made game, and for those that looks for a challenging game where you really need to get skilled, this is it and can be very engaging.
It simply was not what I was expecting or looking for.
Fun but repetitive
As a small studio game can produce, this is actually a fun and different game for about 2/3 game sessions, 10 to 20 levels and you are bored. Its just the level before but somewhat different design level or car mechanic.
Didnt finish it as it got boring but its really a game about fun so give it a try
$10 not well spent 😔
I really liked the trailer on Steam, which made it seem like a bunch of wacky short levels and mini-games featuring a car that does everything but drive like a car.
But after clearing the first two sections, I know I won't be finishing this one. It's not been particularly hard thus far (I've gotten gold crowns for all but 1 of the levels I've played) but the imprecise physics-based movement and platforming are a slog sometimes. It's just really frustrating to maintain good control of the character, esp. when you hit a boost pad or trampoline at speed, while also needing to make a turn or something else - That frustration is multiplied 2x when the level requires you to push an soccer ball or some other object to the finish, which are the absolute worst.
Really should of tried the demo first.
