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 detract from the unique vibe of different levels. Overall, the soundtrack complements the game's arcade racing charm, reminiscent of classic titles like Daytona USA 2.
“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 exhibit graphical glitches due to the game's early access status. While the overall visual quality aligns with expectations for a Sega AM3 title, players hope for further polish and refinement as development progresses. Overall, the graphics show promise but require additional work to achieve a more cohesive experience.
“This is a great game with nice graphics.”
“Plays like Daytona USA 2, graphics are exactly what you would expect from Sega AM3.”
“Graphically coming along lovely.”
“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 (forgot its name) looks kind of meh, and there are spots where you can lock yourself.”
“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.”
