Racin'Paper

Imagine you are driving a wad of paper, powered by a wind-up rubber band. 

Hold space to wind up, but listen carefully to avoid overwinding or else you'll snap the rubber band! Made for round 2 of the 2024 GDKO jam, where the theme was to make a game where sound is essential. Therefore, keeping audio on is encouraged. 

Controls:

• Steering: left/right or a/d  or left stick
• Windup/brake: space or B button (controller)
