    The gameplay is generally enjoyable with a strong core loop and a unique dimension-switching mechanic that enhances puzzle-solving and exploration. While some players note the need for optimization and more impactful upgrades, the overall gameplay remains fun and promising, especially given the game's early access status.

    • “The dimension-switching mechanic is a particularly clever touch, allowing one to shift between realities to uncover new paths, solve environmental puzzles, and see familiar spaces in an entirely different light.”
    • “From the fact that this game is still in early access and has a fun, literal gameplay loop, I see a strong future if the optimization gets fixed.”
    • “I like the art style, the music, the gameplay might need a bit of tweaking but it's quite fun and I enjoyed what I've played so far; definitely going to be keeping up with it!”
    • “On the other hand, there is absolutely no need to be in the default mode gameplay-wise, but the game looks and sounds only then.”
    • “Gameplay loop is okay, but I didn't feel like my upgrades are all that different.”
    • “Gameplay is solid, music is a vibe, can't say much more beyond that at this point.”

  • music

    The music is widely praised for perfectly capturing a nostalgic, upbeat vibe that complements the game's colorful visuals and playful atmosphere. It enhances the overall fun and immersive experience, though some note that certain gameplay modes alter the music's presence, affecting its impact. Overall, the soundtrack is considered a standout and memorable aspect of the game.

    • “The colorful art, playful presentation, and upbeat soundtrack come together to create a game that is a loads of fun to play.”
    • “Gameplay is solid, music is a vibe, can't say much more beyond that at this point.”
    • “For example, you can switch your car from default mode to shield or speed mode, and that's okay, but in those modes, visuals, music, and sounds are altered and barely audible, and the world gets bleak and dark.”

    The game's graphics feature a charming 1970s-inspired, stylized art style reminiscent of vintage sci-fi cartoons, enhanced by groovy visuals and a fitting soundtrack. While the overall aesthetic is praised for its nostalgic and wholesome vibe, some users feel certain elements like power-up card artwork could better match the style, and visual changes in certain modes may feel subdued or bleak. Performance is generally smooth but somewhat demanding given the visual fidelity.

    • “It's a wonderfully wholesome little adventure wrapped in a gorgeous 1970s-inspired aesthetic that feels a bit like James Gunn's Guardians of the Galaxy.”

    • “I feel that the power-up cards displayed on screen could have better artwork that fits more cohesively with the game's stylized approach.”
    • “In different car modes like shield or speed, the visuals, music, and sounds change drastically, becoming bleak, dark, and barely audible, which negatively impacts the experience.”
    • “The game runs fine but seems somewhat demanding considering the quality of the visuals it delivers.”

  • optimization

    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    33% positive mentions, -33% neutral mentions, 100% negative mentions

    The game currently suffers from poor optimization, resulting in subpar performance on both handheld and PC platforms. However, as it is still in early access, there is potential for improvement, and future updates may enhance performance significantly.

    • “It's early days yet and I can't recommend it for handhelds. Some people are saying it runs just as badly on PC, so I will say not recommended overall for now, but it's definitely one to watch and I will update the review if performance is addressed and the game continues to deliver!”
    • “The other issue is the lack of optimization currently.”
    • “From the fact that this game is still in early access and has a fun literal gameplay loop, I see a strong future if the optimization gets fixed.”
    • “It's early days yet and I can't recommend it for handhelds and it seems some people are saying it runs just as badly on PC, so I will say not recommended overall for now, but it's definitely one to watch and I will update the review maybe if performance is addressed and the game continues to deliver!”
