Overall, while the graphics are generally considered good for an indie title, there are calls for improvements and optimizations to enhance the visual experience further.

- “There's no options to change the resolution for the game or customize the graphics settings.”
- “Right now I have refunded the game due to bugs, volume problems, graphic bugs, and sometimes I started to lag for no good reason.”

Overall, the game appears to have been rushed, resulting in a lack of polish and significant stability problems.
- “Although the game mostly works for me, it is janky, super-buggy and unplayable for some.”
- “Very very buggy, the game locks itself in a loading screen if I go for the tournaments, also I cannot play multiplayer due to 'username too short' though the game doesn't read my username and you cannot set a username in-game; it has to use the Steam one which fails at doing.”
- “Buggy mess that should not be sold on Steam in its current state.”

grinding
4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be both a positive and a negative; while the progression structure is logical and allows for experience gain through short races, the repetitive nature of racing the same tracks and slow money farming can become frustrating.

- “This game is glitchy, has a lot of quirks, broken achievements, and can be incredibly grindy and repetitive.”
