  • story99 mentions

    • “Again, this is a very limited-in-scope demo, there are no story elements, no quests, no characters, nothing else to do, you're just there.”

  • optimization19 mentions

    Overall, the game's optimization is generally praised, with many users noting impressive graphics and smooth performance, especially in VR.

    • “Graphics are very good and it's well optimized to run smoothly.”
    • “The game is free and has very few performance issues.”

    • “I was probably getting 30 fps or lower with stuttering if I flew too fast.”

Listening to music really calms you down in your travels. If you're looking for an amazing experience, or you just want to experience a utopia as stunning as this, I definitely recommend giving this masterpiece a download.”

Players appreciate the lightheartedness and comedic elements, which enhance the overall enjoyable experience, especially in contrast to other games like Elite Dangerous.

    • “Literally one of my favorite experiences for VR to just enjoy and be in for a good while - very developed in my opinion, quality not quantity here although to be honest the quantity of buildings and stuff going on is great - the cars are funny when they turn; if you're very close up, you see some funny animation happening where the vehicle image 'bends' to follow the NPC's flight path, but that's the only bad thing I can say about it!”
    • “There is not much to do here; you can collect certain items to increase your boost and explore this fantastic place. There are also some funny references all around the city.”
    • “It's hilarious how much smoother it is to fly than in Elite Dangerous.”
