The gameplay is characterized by a chaotic and fun experience, featuring a variety of tracks, cars, and traps that keep players engaged, especially in multiplayer settings. The cooperative track-building mechanic adds a unique twist without slowing down the action, although some players find the gameplay loop repetitive and the camera mechanics frustrating. Overall, while the game may lack extensive content, it offers an addictive and dynamic experience that evokes nostalgia for classic racing games.
- “The co-operative track building mechanic is new, and it's really nicely implemented, so it doesn't slow the game down as you keep adding to the track in between racing the sections everyone placed.”
- “The dynamic track system, loose functionality of rules and shortcuts, and absolute absurdity of how people get flung around makes for some insanely fun gameplay that had me smiling and gasping for air with my friend all the way through.”
- “The gameplay is addicting and different each time; nothing gets stale even when you have to restart the same checkpoint over and over because everyone keeps falling off.”
- “The gameplay ends up frantic and slightly exhausting, so maybe you won't be playing it for hours at a time, but it's definitely one you'll want to fire up when friends are available for a few quick bouts.”
- “Gameplay-wise, the puzzles are meticulously crafted but can become excessively intricate, potentially deterring players unprepared for its rigorous demands.”
- “The camera.... oh god.... I get it, it's supposed to 'limit' the playing area (especially for local gameplay) but it punishes people in first place... that's really frustrating in a racing game. Also, if you go under other tracks, sometimes you can't see anything.”
