Brake Rider [GMTK Jam 2018]

BRAKE RIDER

Made for Game Maker's Toolkit Jam 2018. Theme: GENRE, but you can't MECHANIC.

Drive to the finish line achieving the fastest time possible!

Sounds dull? How about not being able to accelerate?

Your vehicle starts at some fixed speed and you can only turn left/right and use your brakes... But beware, if you slow down, there's no way to speed up, it's one way road. Use your brakes cleverly to not crash into the walls and achieve the best time on the all 10 tracks.

Good luck and remember to share your times (I mean, if you want to...)!

Saving times and screenshots doesn't work in the HTML version.
