    What a great game! Thanks for making it and thanks for giving it to us free!
    Once you finish the game I have noticed I cannot play back past the PRISM, is it because I did not beat the best times in some previous levels? I.e.: you need to fully complete each level?

    I would love some more levels indeed, maybe a future IAP, a way to get some money for your hard work?

    The music is great and adds a lot to the retro feel of the game, the story is nice too and feels at time quite personal.
    The ending leaves you wanting more (I.e: play again past the prism to find more data file!)

    As an idea of IAP, which you must have thought already, you could be in someone's else computer, seeing a different side of the story and potentially getting more/different info

    You have made a really cool game and it's premise fits perfectly the story. Thanks again! :)

    Make more games, please!
    We want to play them! :)

    I didn't have any trouble, with any level. I finished it a few hours ago, cleared all challenges and collected all of the user's data (which was an interesting read), I'm also having fun with a friend who's trying to beat my times and everytime he does I beat his again.

    Wish I could play the last few levels again, tho. They get access denied and there is no "delete data" button (or maybe I missed it) to start over.

    Still this game is awesome. It may be a little hard for some people, but it's just a matter of learning the physics and learn to drive triangle-san. I wish it had been a longer experience (maybe adding some depth about the User and, yeah, the ending to the story).

    Dan, you did a pretty good job and I thank you for it. I just wish it had been a paid game or with some "Support the dev" IAP or some way to contribute to future quality development.

    Thanks again!

    I really suck at it but can't stop playing this and BOT9th. Both games deserve GOTW.

    Free?

    Question for Dan:

    Why did you decide to go free for this game?

    As a dev I find it challenging to decide which way to go these days... IAP, Ads, Free, Premium...

    Thanks! Great game!

    Took me awhile to come in here, sorry. This is an amazing game with the most charming yet minimal design. Mother is my favorite ai character now. I haven't finished the game to find out what she is up to, but sometimes I feel sorry for her. She is so willing and naïve at times, it's kind of heartbreaking.

    I think the dev worked at halfbrick, but no halfbrick game has this much heart. I like the direction he's going in and hopefully will get to see more of it.

    Thanks for such a good game, but next time I want to pay you something. :)

    Oh god. WHO'S CUTTING THOSE ONIONS!?

    It's such a joy that everyone get's what I was trying to do with this game.
    It's basically a trojan horse; a cute, accessible racing game with an emotional story hiding inside.

    I love Pigeon Wings! Still haven't completed it yet, I'm most of the way through and it's tons of fun.

    I like Data Wing a bit better though because of the drifting. Nothing beats a perfect slide around a corner.

    I got all excited about playing this, and it turns out my iPad is too old to play a 2D minimalist game. Oh well.

    Yes! I beat the main story today during my lunch break. Feels so good! I loved the characters and story almost as much as the amazing gameplay. Still much to do as I go back for a couple documents and finish a couple side missions. Then there's the speed runs. Wow what a game!

    I also finished the game today.
    What a fantastic game and the writing is topnotch.
    I sat with a huge grin on my face much of the time.

    I see you and Metalcasket have been attacking some of my times. I've just gone back and improved on a few of them. It's a while since I really got into any leaderboard competitions!

    PS I also beat all of your times on Pigeon Wings! ;)

    For those who finished the game, am I right in thinking
    you don't find out what the content of that final message is
    ? I'm just trying to figure out if I missed anything.

    I'm wondering if we could be on the
    head of the mother, as the virus attack is happening at the same time of the accident
