The gameplay is enhanced by VR, allowing for better navigation through complex terrains, though some players experience motion sickness. While the mechanics are considered barebones, the game offers a charming simplicity with various challenges reminiscent of pilotwings-style gameplay, focusing on speed and precision. Overall, the physics are enjoyable, contributing to a fun experience despite its limited scope.
“It's rather barebones but it's charming in its simplicity and has quite a few challenges to master if you enjoy that Pilotwings-style gameplay of landing and going through hoops while you rocket your way through the levels as fast as you can for record times.”
“The use of VR is done properly, but this is a barebones game mechanic.”
“VR actually adds to the depth of the gameplay as you can better see the terrain and navigate your vehicle through the 360 labyrinth as fast as possible.”
