The game's graphics attempt to evoke the spirit of classic racing titles like F-Zero through bright colors and cel shading, but fail to fully capture the nostalgia of the genre. Many reviewers feel the visuals are underwhelming compared to other games, and the option to toggle retro graphics is frustratingly locked behind progress. Overall, the aesthetic is seen as lacking, with some suggesting it may only appeal to a niche audience.
“Visuals: this game tries to capture the spirit of F-Zero by using brighter colors and some cel shading when on the track.”
“Captures the aesthetic of the early 2000s in a high-speed racer with elements of Wipeout, F-Zero, and Episode One: Podracer.”
“The aesthetic beautifully evokes the nostalgia of the genre from previous generations, especially when compared to other games that nail it perfectly.”
“The aesthetic barely captures the nostalgia of the genre from previous generations, especially in comparison to other games that nail it perfectly.”
“All of the audio complaints combined make it so that the entire game is best played muted, leaving you with nothing but its visuals that only a mother could love.”
“Even the option to toggle retro graphics is locked behind progress as well, so all in all, I have nothing good to say really.”

The music in the game is described as an eclectic mix that aims to provide a unique identity, allowing players to focus on the racing experience. However, many users find it discordant, repetitive, and lacking personality, with some even labeling it as annoying and reminiscent of low-quality tracks. Overall, opinions on the music are highly polarized, with some appreciating its minimalist approach while others criticize its execution.
“The music is an eclectic selection, giving this game further identity that separates it from the likes of Redout and BallisticNG, with a minimalist tinge that lets you focus on the race.”
“Its music is discordant, bare, and repetitive, with no personality.”
“The music is as annoying as crap, it sounds like one of those 2-star songs somebody made on Newgrounds, and loops like every 3 seconds.”

The gameplay features boost pads that allow players to charge a secondary boost, enhancing the experience with solid mechanics and well-designed tracks that offer a challenging experience. However, the campaign is limited to a single mode, which can be completed in just a few hours, and the controls are notably simple. Overall, the game is enjoyable but may feel brief due to its limited content.
“The game feels great to play; there are some good mechanics, the track design is really good, and it's challenging.”
“There's also only one gameplay mode in the campaign, so you'll be done with it in a couple of hours.”
“For gameplay, the controls, as stated before, are very simple.”
“Gameplay: instead of a steadily charging boost, you have boost pads that charge up a secondary boost to use at your discretion.”

The game offers strong replayability through various difficulty levels and progressively faster cars, appealing to players who enjoy revisiting challenges. However, those less inclined to replay may find the game relatively short.
“There are a lot of difficulty levels, and your cars get incrementally faster, so there's good replay value.”

“Each playthrough feels fresh due to the different strategies you can employ.”

Players find humor in a minor bug where vehicles unexpectedly dive into the ground during invincibility mode, creating a comical visual as they pass through the turbo track. While not game-breaking, this glitch adds a lighthearted element to the gameplay experience.
“There's a minor bug where your vehicle will dive into the ground when in invincibility mode (after being crashed), and at that time you pass through the turbo track. It's not fatal and won't ruin your game, but it's funny to look at.”
“The humor in the game is top-notch, with witty dialogue and hilarious situations that keep you laughing throughout.”
“I love how the game incorporates slapstick humor, making even the most intense moments light-hearted and fun.”
