The graphics of the game are described as basic and reminiscent of early access, with a need for further polish, particularly in damage modeling. However, some users appreciate the sharpness of the visuals and the polished car models, especially the cockpit details, indicating a mix of potential and current limitations. Overall, while the graphics may not be groundbreaking, they contribute to a fun, albeit brief, racing experience.
“Graphics are very good, the image is sharp at a distance (even without supersampling) and the car models are very polished, including the cockpit.”
“Feels like early access, but fun nonetheless. I hope developers will polish it a bit more, both graphically and in terms of physics/damage modeling. There is zero damage modeling currently implemented, but it doesn't take too much away from the fun of racing.”
“Arcade, mainly for kids. Once you know the track, you don't need to slow down. There are 4 tracks and 3 cars (speed, balance, and handling) that are not really different. You just accelerate and run. The graphics are really basic. I give it a thumbs up; I am nice, but don't expect to play it for more than 30 minutes.”
