  • The game is a very fun and entertaining party game, especially when played with friends, leading to lots of laughter and chaotic moments.
  • The driving mechanics feel good, and the game offers a unique concept of one player building the track while the other drives, creating a fun cooperative experience.
  • The game features customizable controls and resolution, making it accessible for different players and setups.
  • The game suffers from a lack of content and variety, with only a few modes available, leading to repetitive gameplay after a short time.
  • There are significant technical issues, including bugs and poor online capabilities, which detract from the overall experience.

  • gameplay22 mentions

    The gameplay is characterized by enjoyable driving mechanics and a fun, chaotic atmosphere that encourages laughter and engagement among players. However, it suffers from issues such as unbalanced mechanics, frustrating controls, and a lack of depth, which can lead to a short-lived experience. With more content, polish, and customization options, the game has the potential to become a standout couch co-op title.

    • “The driving mechanics feel good.”
    • “This feels like a great concept, and I think the whole idea of asymmetrical gameplay in party games is genius.”
    • “It may not look like much, but the gameplay is an absolute joy.”
    • “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 bucks, 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.”
    • “Gameplay/mechanics wise, the only bad thing is it is almost impossible to recover from a trap.”
  • humor19 mentions

    The humor in the game is a standout feature, with players frequently laughing at both their own mistakes and the absurd situations that arise during gameplay. Many reviews highlight the game's ability to create hilarious moments, especially when played with friends, and the quirky unlockable cosmetics add to the comedic experience. While some bugs can be amusing, they also underscore the game's early access status, suggesting that the humor is a key reason to engage with it despite its imperfections.

    • “Although there are just 4 modes (of which I only have tried 3 so far) and the mission is stupidly simple, you can spend hours chasing for new high scores while laughing and cursing.”
    • “If you want to pee yourself laughing with a friend, this is a great game for that.”
    • “There's always something to laugh about thanks to the hilarious situations that could happen at any time.”
  • music10 mentions

    The music in the game has received mixed reviews; while many players appreciate the quality of the soundtrack and its synergy with the gameplay, there are significant concerns about its limited variety, leading to repetitiveness. Players hope for additional tracks to enhance the overall experience, especially given that the game is still in early access.

    • “The soundtrack is right up my alley.”
    • “The crazy driving action and the great music work really well together.”
    • “While the music that is playing is good, it can get annoyingly repetitious after a short while.”
    • “The only thing I didn't like about the game was the limited soundtrack.”
    • “Taking into account this is early access, I would hope there will be more music added to the game later to help make this game a longer lasting playing experience.”
    • “Repetitive music.”
  • graphics7 mentions

    The graphics of the game receive mixed reviews; while some players appreciate the crisp, immersive visuals and well-executed artwork, others find them below current standards, describing them as "cartoon-ish" and simplistic. Despite this, many agree that the game's concept and gameplay can outweigh graphical shortcomings, emphasizing that engaging ideas can lead to a more entertaining experience. Overall, the visuals are generally well-received for their detail and lack of glitches, but they may not meet the high expectations of all gamers.

    • “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 'cartoonish,' which I really enjoy.”
    • “The artwork is really well done, and as far as I've seen, there aren't any glitches or bugs.”
    • “It's far below the state of the art visuals gamers expect as a result of their decisions.”
  • stability6 mentions

    Overall, users report that the game has a fun experience but is plagued by bugs, which may be exacerbated by high ping. While some aspects, like the artwork, are praised for their quality, the stability issues remain a significant concern, even in the absence of an early access label.

    • “It is pretty fun, at least for a short while, but it seems a bit buggy, although it might've been because of the higher ping Jake and I share.”
    • “Buggy and just not fun at the moment.”
    • “- still fairly buggy but isn't even early access yet.”
  • story2 mentions

    • “Hardly a success story; gamers just weren't all that interested in the game.”
    • “The mission is stupidly simple, and although there are just four modes (of which I've only tried three so far), you can spend hours chasing new high scores while laughing and cursing.”
  • optimization1 mentions

    The game's optimization has significantly improved, addressing previous bugs that rendered it unplayable, and now includes additional modes and customization options for a better overall experience.

    • “This team has worked hard to mend the original bugs and tweaks, making the game unplayable. This game has been optimized much stronger, with additional modes and customization included.”
    • “This game still suffers from severe optimization issues that make it frustrating to play.”
    • “Despite some improvements, the optimization is inconsistent and leads to frequent frame drops.”
    • “The game feels unpolished and lacks the necessary optimization to run smoothly on various systems.”
