Players have reported potential memory leak issues that lead to declining performance over extended play sessions. Additionally, there are suggestions for minor visual enhancements, like adding blob shadows to RC cars, which could improve depth perception without significantly impacting performance. Overall, while some mods can enhance gameplay, optimization remains a concern.
“However, it would be nice to add at least a blob shadow to the RC cars (with almost no performance impact) to add some sort of depth to the cars so they don't appear to be floating.”
“The game may or may not have a memory leak; the longer I play, the worse the performance seems to get.”

The graphics in the game are described as simplistic yet effective, successfully conveying the intended visuals. However, initial discrepancies between the promotional screenshots and in-game features regarding performance metrics were noted, though this issue was addressed in the first update.
“The visuals of the game are simplistic but are doing a great job.”
“On the screenshot on the store page, I see that the laptop can display different values for speed, acceleration, and so on, but in the game, there are no such values, and all changes to the RC car only change the visuals.”
“The visuals of the game are simplistic and do not provide the depth or detail expected from modern games.”
“The graphics feel outdated and lack the polish that would make the game more engaging.”

The gameplay is hindered by a significant flaw that requires players to physically turn their bodies to change direction, which negatively impacts the experience, particularly for Oculus users.
“The game has a few flaws, the biggest one being that you have to physically turn your body if you want to face a different direction, which really harms gameplay for those on Oculus.”

Reviewers note that while the CPU-controlled opponents enhance the experience, the replayability would significantly improve if players could compete against their own best times.
“The CPU-controlled opponents are nice, but it would add a lot to the replay value if you could race against your own best time.”
