Thanks so much for your kind words! From one TrackMania obsessive to another, I'm glad you enjoyed it!
14 seconds is a very respectable time :) The narrative more about venting against my day job that commentary on the jam itself, but I'm really like your interpretation
Thanks for suggestion to include your previous ghost (duh, how could I miss that), and I like the suggestion of showing the whole line too, that's a great addition that will come in a post-jam update!
Re: visual indicator for satellite locations - I considered that, but ultimately decided against it. I figured learning the map provides a way for all players to improve their time, even if they are unable to improve their time "mechanically" they will natural improve over a few runs.
Thanks again for playing and great feedback!
