The gameplay is generally praised for its smoothness and fun mechanics, providing an exciting experience with a sense of speed.

- “If the slipstream could have a slingshot mechanic that would be nice, but the lack of cars is an issue. I haven't done all the levels and I've essentially beaten the game, and once you beat all rivals in one level, eventually they start to glitch out and stay stationary, making it too easy.”
- “Garbage game, garbage graphics, garbage gameplay, garbage cars.”

The game's optimization is a mixed bag; while some players praise its exceptional performance, good graphics, and realistic physics, others criticize it for poor overall optimization and issues like rubber banding in races. The AI's behavior, which can feel unfair and overly competitive, detracts from the experience for some users. Overall, there is a call for further optimizations and customization options to enhance gameplay.
- “Exceptional performance I experienced with this game, amazing AI, it feels like I'm playing with real players. Physics are accurate but not all the time.”
- “I would like to see other updates in the future, but overall good graphics and well optimized, good physics, decent AI, and a pretty good selection of cars.”
- “Very realistic, it's based on realistic ragdolls. I rate 5 stars for its performance.”
- “The overall game looks poorly optimized; more optimizations are needed.”
- “Fun, but the AI cheats and is way faster than me. I also noticed the rubber banding; no matter how far ahead you get, the other racers catch up and pass me, even if they crash or I spin them out. It's totally not fair. The racing is fun but gets old fast, especially knowing that you will not win or pass the car you need to in order to win. Add customization for car performance and visual modifications, then you get five stars and make the game fair.”
