r3 : Role Reversal Racing!

Speed against other racers to hit the finish! But there's a catch - racers in first and last place will switch every 5 seconds! See if you can make it to the end of the track while timing things right to nail first place.

Notes on GMTK2023 Build - Pole position tracking can go pretty wonky, and never got fully fixed in time for the deadline. Consider it an element of randomness to make things harder :) The game works best with a controller, but you may want to keep the keyboard close by to press R and reload the track
