HighRoads

Prototype of HighRoads (a Skyroads like game)

I would like to introduce my current (almost died on the hard drive) prototype "HighRoads" (working title only...). The game is currently heavily inspired by Skyroads, simply because I was addicted to it back then and there's nothing comparable at the moment, in my opinion.

The assets are all placeholders at the moment, although some are placed more nicely. I'm currently considering turning the art style very much towards Synthwave, but I'm not sure about that yet.

Please give me your honest feedback on the prototype, whether the game concept catches your interest, and how you might envision the game being better. Essentially, share anything that comes to mind.

Core Game Loop
Drive the track as fast as possible to achieve the best time (similar to Trackmania).

Current features
