This is a pretty rudimentary clone of the original. It functions to an extent but it's a little disappointing. First, turning doesn't feel great. It's very linear and feels very mechanical. Some kind of easing in and out might make this feel better but it isn't too important. More important is the amount of jittering which occurs when you drive toward the edges of the course. It's rather unsightly and it shouldn't be too hard of a fix.
Additionally, the use of only primitive shapes can be effective but it feels very placeholder-y right now. The enemy in the game being a default colored floating cube just feel a bit lazy. The cube also does not comply to the boundaries of the road as it moves left and right seemingly on a timer.
Overall, I'd say it's a good start but there's a lot of polish missing that could make this feel a lot better.
I enjoyed your game. I liked the simple and clean aesthetic. I also have a few things to note from my play through that might help you with future iterations. I didn't immediately notice the UI in the top left and was initially confused when the game didn't end after a collision. Perhaps it could be bigger and there could be some visual feedback to let you know you have collided. Additionally, there is no feedback when you successfully shoot the box. I think the pellet should be destroyed? But maybe shooting right through it is what you want. The narrow level design feels like a smart choice as that's where my gaze primarily stayed aided by the far travelling pellets which helps keep up the illusion of moving long distances at high speed. However, the box often drew my gaze away from this clever level design when it went outside the bounds of level. This is when it became apparent that the box's movement is tied to the button the player is pressing, which cheapened the feeling of hitting it thereafter. I also found a bug. If you hold right or left long enough you will fall out of the map and cannot restart the game. I hope this feedback helps you. This is an interesting take on 3D Death Chase. Keep up the great work! :)

Hello Enomoto Takaya,
