The gameplay is characterized by its fast-paced, niche racing mechanics reminiscent of F-Zero GX, providing a fun and polished experience despite limited content. While the core gameplay loop is enjoyable and smooth, players feel it lacks depth and variety, suggesting the addition of AI, more levels, and additional mechanics could enhance the overall experience. The grappling hook is a notable feature, though its potential remains underutilized.
- “This game doesn't offer much content, but its niche gameplay, speed, and enjoyment help balance that problem.”
- “This game heavily reminds me of F-Zero GX because of how the gameplay was made; you're supposed to go fast.”
- “It has so much potential with its simple, but fun, gameplay and cool, retro style.”
- “Apparently, this racing game for co-op looks good in pictures, but when it comes to actual gameplay, it lacks in a few aspects.”
- “Just needs AI, more levels, online co-op, gunplay, open-world elements, RPG mechanics, dodge rolls, and the whole game of Dark Souls. So far, it's a great start to a story-driven audio journal.”

The music in the game is described as repetitive but generally good, with players expressing a desire for more variety and intensity. Many reviewers suggest that a vaporwave soundtrack would enhance the experience, drawing comparisons to other successful games that utilize similar styles. Overall, while the music is not a major flaw, it is seen as an area needing improvement to elevate the game's atmosphere.
- “The music is good and fits the game well.”
- “I would love to see more music added; it really enhances the experience!”
- “A vaporwave soundtrack would have complemented the game perfectly.”
- “Also, add more music; I need this to kick hard!”
- “A vaporwave soundtrack to go along with this really would have helped. After all, retrowave, an asset flip from the scammer RewindApp, is very similar to this and went viral, making the scammer a lot of money by ripping off soundtracks from other people, just like he ripped off the entire game from the Unity Asset Store.”
- “This review shouldn't be clouded by dodgy developers and scammers, but I thought it's a worthwhile comparison anyway just because momentum outperforms those asset flips by leaps and bounds (apart from the lack of a decent soundtrack).”
