The music in the game is generally praised for its energetic and fitting sound design, enhancing the overall fun and immersive experience. However, some players express a desire for the ability to select music for each stage, as the randomized tracks can disrupt the intended vibe of different levels. Overall, the soundtrack contributes positively to the game's arcade racing charm, reminiscent of classic titles.
“Great physics, awesome sound design, nice car models (fun alternate liveries too!), great music, and just... it's damn fun to play.”
“Great sounds, energetic music and lively colors make this a fun game to come back to and try to master each course, the speedruns for this game already look insanely cool.”
“I also kind of wish the music was selectable per stage, rather than it being randomized on every playthrough.”
“Part of the classic arcade racer charm is that every stage has its own vibe, and the music plays a huge role in that.”
“I had an issue on stream where my first run randomized the same song for the first three stages.”

The graphics of the game are generally well-received, with users noting a pleasing aesthetic in certain tracks, though some areas appear inconsistent and could benefit from further polish. While the game is still in early access and has some graphical glitches, players are optimistic about future improvements. Overall, the visuals align with expectations for a Sega-inspired title, but there is a desire for more refined and cohesive graphics across all courses.
“This is a great game with nice graphics. I'm sure there will be a setting somewhere for the car's twitchy handling, but I can't wait for the new games I've seen from you to come out.”
“The courses are aesthetically based on the original versions of Sega Rally courses.”
“Graphically, it's coming along beautifully.”
“Some constructive criticism: the game is optimized well, but as it's incomplete, there are some graphical glitches here and there. I know the game is a 'work in progress,' so the final product will be slightly to very different from the early access version.”
“What I'd like to see is more polished tracks and overall graphics, because it feels inconsistent. For example, the first track, the forest, is very pleasing to the eye and properly made; however, the second track (forgot its name) looks kind of meh, and there are spots where you can get stuck.”
“Really early development game, definitely a work in progress. Short, but I would recommend helping the developer because this is a really good Sega Rally arcade clone. I am sure the developer will be fixing the graphics and sound, but it's okay for now.”
