The graphics of the game are generally considered underwhelming, leading many potential players to overlook it. However, there is a belief that with some updates to the visuals, similar to the style of Neo Geo rally games, it could gain more recognition. While the simpler graphics allow for better performance on various PCs, adding some visual enhancements like shadows and tire tracks would improve the overall experience.
“If you have played rally or off-road racing games in the past, especially on the sim side, you would enjoy this too. The simpler graphics can run better on more PCs, although some visual touches such as shadows or tire tracks would be nice as well.”
“Unfortunately, I think most people would look at the graphics of this game and pass it by.”
“If the developer went the extra mile and updated the graphics (let’s say roughly Neo Geo rally game style), I think it could really get the recognition it deserves!”

The gameplay is characterized by a "steal the screen" mechanic reminiscent of Micro Machines, allowing players to share a single screen while competing for control and dominance.
“Even sharing one screen, it could function more like Micro Machines' style of 'steal the screen' gameplay.”
