Install instructions
- BGB emulator recommended. I also suggest Right Click > Options > System > Emulated System > Game Boy. Apply and reset. If you leave the default GBC, the color palette will look pretty washed. Comparison below. This tip applies to any Game Boy emulator that defaults to a system different than the original DMG Game Boy.

Finally got around to playing this! Simple concept that you took to make a great game. Controls are perfect and so is the overall speed and track designs. Races are pretty tough and I only managed 12 points my first go around. I’ll probably play through it a few more times to see if I can get better. I definitely like the track type with 5 laps for a fastest lap.
I’ve been playing the game and it’s been fun! The graphics are good, the music is great and while the gameplay is a bit basic, it’s still fun!
One thing I might suggest adding is the ability to pause the game during the race as while it’s not too big of a problem, it would be nice to have the option. Apart from that, I think the game is great!
The visuals are amazing! I'm a couple levels in and loving the variety of levels!
