    15 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay has received mixed reviews, with many players noting issues such as frustrating controls and unbalanced mechanics that detract from the overall experience. While the concept is praised for its potential as a fun couch co-op game, the execution falls short, leading to a shallow and mediocre experience that may only entertain for a short time. However, some players see promise in the mechanics and hope for future improvements to enhance the game's value.

    • “With the right gameplay mechanics and thought, this could be a really fantastic couch co-op game.”
    • “They've taken the pressure mechanic of 'Pipe Dream' and added a manic driving component.”
    • “Between the sketchy execution, such as the controller controls being all messed up, and the mediocre gameplay, I can't say this game is worth anything near $20, or whatever I paid for it on sale.”
    • “Expect about 30 minutes of entertainment before the novelty wears off, and all that's left is the mediocre mechanics, frustrating controls, and all-too-shallow strategy.”
    • “The gameplay is simple—one player builds the road while the other drives—but it’s guaranteed to demand all of your time and effort, so be prepared to laugh (or fight) with your family and friends for hours on end.”
  • humor
    14 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game is praised for its humor, with players finding it consistently funny and entertaining due to its unique mechanics and hilarious situations. Unlockable cosmetics, such as a physics-driven disco ball and a bubble machine, add to the comedic experience, making it a game that encourages laughter and enjoyment while chasing high scores. Overall, the humor is a standout aspect that enhances the gameplay experience.

    • “Really, really funny and unique game.”
    • “There's always something to laugh about thanks to the hilarious situations that could happen at any time.”
    • “The mechanics are hilarious, and with more content and polish, this is a great value.”
  • graphics
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics are praised for their crispness and immersive quality, with particular appreciation for the detailed environments, such as the wooden platform and the realistic water physics. While some reviewers acknowledge the visuals as nice, they emphasize that the game's appeal lies more in its concept than in its graphical fidelity. Overall, the graphics contribute positively to the gaming experience but are not the sole focus.

    • “The visuals are crisp and immersive. I particularly love the details of the wooden platform suspended by the balloons, the perception of the blue depth below, and the physics experienced when driving through water and how the water droplets stretch across the camera's lens.”
    • “The graphics are nice and contribute to the overall experience of the game.”
    • “The visuals are stunning, creating an engaging atmosphere that enhances gameplay.”
  • stability
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Users report that the game is enjoyable but experiences notable bugs, which may be exacerbated by high ping. Despite these issues, the tile-based scoring system is recommended over the alternative, and the overall fun factor seems to outweigh the stability concerns.

    • “It is pretty fun, at least for a short while, but it seems a bit buggy.”
    • “I recommend the tile-based scoring system because the other one seemed a bit buggy.”
    • “Even if there's only one game mode by now and it's sometimes buggy, it just adds up to the fun.”
  • music
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game is highly praised, with many users noting that the soundtrack complements the intense driving action perfectly, enhancing the overall experience.

    • “The soundtrack is right up my alley.”
    • “The crazy driving action and the great music work really well together.”
  • story
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story aspect of the game is minimal, focusing primarily on simple missions across a few modes, yet it provides an engaging experience as players become immersed in the pursuit of high scores, often eliciting laughter and frustration.
