Hey! Thanks so much for the kind words.
The game is $10 for a couple reasons. Namely, it's still a work in progress and I want the price to reflect that. Some people might see a $20 price point and think the game is a lot more stable and complete, then leave a negative review out of frustration (which some still do now). Also, I think with such a low price, people might be willing to give the EA a chance and see that there's something fun there. There is the inverse reaction, too, where people see it priced so low and think it's a game jam, or maybe not as serious a game, and avoid buying it. There's a bit of a balance, here, that's tough to get right, and I hope the positive reviews encourage people to play.
That said, I do plan on increasing the price in small increments as I release each race. My plan is to have the 1.0 version priced at $20, with each race release adding $2.50. Anyone who had bought the game already would get those for free of course. I'm not talking about DLC's or something.
As for audio, I'm 100% in agreement. Our Patreon page is dedicated towards getting more music from Matt, the composer, and I will be doing an audio pass very soon to add some more sfx.
Anywho, hopefully that answers your questions. Thanks again for the confidence boost! :)
