I like to ponder a lot. I have a very unusual if not different line of thought from the normal masses. If you want to drop a line or anything, I'm cool. I'm very open to criticism and suggestions so they are much welcome.

First off, it is a good concept, but there are key points in platformer gaming that are not completely fulfilled.
One factor is flexibility. With only two controls (holding LMB, releasing LMB), controlling three actions and only one direction of movement, the game feels very constricted.
While I like the idea, there is something that feels just wrong to play a side-scroller in this way.
You could put objects in the game which will affect his direction. This way, the original movement by holding down the LMB can be kept.
Or you could add more clicking combos for more actions.. Like a double click, or double click hold for example.
Finally I feel that, as other users have pointed out, that the level design layout is not really great. There are places where the avatar has very little clearance. While this game should feel challenging, it should not make a player give up.
That being said, the idea is good, but the application is not really great.

The physics feels just right. I'm betting that you guys built a very detailed engine to emulate the movements. Most of the points goes to that. Oh yeah, one question, does the camera movement actually indicate altitude change? Kudos on the cam directing, if it can be called that.
But as the users before me has said, you should have more options or more variety of cars. Making different performing cars is possible as you did make two different cars that performed differently. So you could make more cars in a second installment.
If possible I would like to see a tunable setup; users could tweak the performance. Also, a minimap would be helpful. The turn indicators are good, but a minimap coupled with it is even more helpful, I could be more aware of what corners and obstacles I would be facing and in what angle. A wrong way indicator would be nice too, since there were moments where the car was reset, at a position where I'm unsure where the correct way is.
There is a bug I noticed in the game the game where the could actually cut through the track at places where there is an obstacle or just cut through another part of the track.
I didn't really mind the absence of any background music, I just played my own. Actually, it's really better to keep it simple. Less files, less loading time and sound files are huge.
All in all, I think it was an excellent game, it gave me a great experience and it showed that there is a big potential to make this game even better.

That pink thing to me looked kinda like a floppy condom, I dunno, it's the first thing that came to my mind. And th dog's nose looked like a cock, although I think many have stated this strange occurence. By the way, I had a good chortle at woodensneakers (sp?) review, His is the best! I recommend everyone to read it! Nice job on making a trippy movie on a trippy sountrack!

I'd say this should go off the charts! Explosive action! Emotional moments! Breathtaking SFX! Sorry, but I got carried away on the pitch cause this is something that I can have an excuse to being carried away!
One of the most extensive graphics I'd seen on Newgrounds. Not many artists put so much detail on a flash movie. A merciless plot too. Powerful use of no-holds-barred storyline. Nicely timed puns and references. Loved the OVER 9000!!! and NG emoticon use. I've probably missed the uberkid crushing his scouter though.
This flash is one them that is superlative among flashes. I'll give this a score of OVER 9000!!!!

I play Assassin's Creed and I like it, and it's just so true. I am especially annoyed by the lady that goes following right in front of you asking for money, while we are broke as fuck. And the leap of faith is really testing your faith in Acre, at the spire jump. Love this.

We went "BANG!" went it came an opponent takes the shot. Or bet some dollars on he's going to pop his head off or not. Pico was especially fun. *click* *click*

Got lucky with Nene and Darnell though. Nene lost five times, last shot to uberwhathisname was epic. Darnell didn't lost or tied at all, total domination. Pico...you stupid ass kid.

We wont catch Tom making stuff like this now. We are actually quite short of assasin theme games. I mean, there are still tons of asshole out there to make fun of and be put in a game like this. Btw, A guard appeared and suddenly I got Justin. The second time I didn't even fire and he went behind a wall and I still got him. Nice glitches tho.
