The gameplay of the game is a mixed bag; while it offers some customization and enjoyable racing mechanics, many players find it overly simplistic and the AI opponents too easy to challenge.

Overall, it is seen as a fun yet flawed experience that could benefit from further development and refinement.

“Potential for a fun simple game that has interesting physics and racing gameplay, but the AI is lacking for that.”
“The game mechanics haven't changed in the last 2 years at all: collision with other cars results in an uncontrollable car for a few seconds.”
