Feel like the driving physics could be improved a bit while turning, and a nice quality of life change would be to automatically link adjacent pieces if they were placed without holding space. Being able to look around and place pieces with the mouse would editing a track much tighter as well.</p>\n"},{"typ":2,"at":221365088,"author":"Kevin Whinnery","login":"kwhinnery","gh":29193,"url":"https://twilio.com/quest","twitter":"kevinwhinnery","text":"<p>Very cool! The first levels seemed to work really well, but I struggled to figure out how it was possible to complete the rest.
