Kinetic Edge
There is a lot to like in Kinetic Edge; different modes, tight controls and fun physics. It feels a bit empty right now and it’s not perfect, but it certainly has its strong points and plenty of room for improvement.

Some users found the visuals overwhelming and noted design issues, while others appreciated the option to adjust graphics quality for better performance on lower-end systems. Overall, the aesthetic is divisive, with a mix of admiration and criticism regarding its execution.
“The first thing that struck me was the game's aesthetic – it's a neon dream come true!”
“Its striking visuals also help differentiate it.”
“The overall aesthetic might not appeal to everybody.”
“The neon aesthetic isn't for everyone, but I got around it by lowering the graphics quality (and a small FYI, I currently run games on a laptop).”
“While having more modes makes the initial menu screen a bit more vibrant - like Kinetic Edge’s visuals - that vibrance becomes tedious and a little wasted.”
“[Some design issues, visuals can get overwhelming though, small number of courses]”
Kinetic Edge Review
It’s a smart move on the developer’s part that Kinetic Edge comes with an epilepsy warning.

Kinetic Edge feels like its fighting with itself just a little too much. While having more modes makes the initial menu screen a bit more vibrant - like Kinetic Edge’s visuals - that vibrance becomes tedious and a little wasted
60%Kinetic Edge review — Shining brightly
Even though Kinetic Edge is by no means spectacular, it does achieve what it sets out to do. This is a platformer that is easy to get into, which can be great fun with some friends. Its striking visuals also help differentiate it. Despite its shortcomings, there are more positives than negatives on display. All in all, it is a good game that comfortably justifies its price tag.
