The gameplay is generally easy to grasp and offers a detailed experience, reminiscent of Trials Fusion but with more forgiving controls. However, some players find it can become repetitive due to unfair mechanics and challenging levels, while others appreciate the smoother gameplay and variety of vehicles, including ATVs and hoverboards. Despite its strengths, issues like graphical glitches and frustrating mechanics, such as bikes breaking upon hard landings, detract from the overall experience.
“The gameplay is easy but surprisingly detailed, both unintentionally and inherently because of its genre.”
“For me, being a player of 'Gravity Defied' mobile game since ages ago, this game is as close as you can get in comparison, except the gameplay is much smoother and now features not just bikes but also ATVs and hoverboards, plus so many player-made levels with countless track designs available instead of only the flat surfaces back in GD.”
“I bought this game because it was pretty cheap and I like these kinds of games, but this one just got old quickly because of the unfair mechanics that sometimes get in your way and the relatively hard levels.”
“I have encountered two graphical glitches so far in my 3 minutes of gameplay, one where the menu doesn't fit into the screen, and the other where everything just goes black except for a little white shadow effect around the stick man.”
“Trials Fusion keeps coming to mind when trying to explain the gameplay, but the nuances of how this game controls are much more rigid and a little more forgiving than Trials.”

The music in the game is minimal, with no in-game tracks during levels, which are notably short. Players can toggle the music on or off, but there is no option to adjust the volume, leading to a somewhat limited auditory experience.
“I relaxed for 5 minutes listening to this music, long enough to realize that I would be okay.”
“For example, you can turn the music on or off but not adjust the volume.”
“Not to mention there is no in-game music and the levels are really short.”
“For example, you can turn music on or off but not adjust the volume.”
