The graphics in the game receive mixed reviews, with some praising the stunning visuals and coherent aesthetic that enhance the gameplay experience, particularly in VR. However, others criticize the graphics for being reminiscent of early VR titles, featuring crude textures and a lack of depth due to poor lighting, which detracts from the overall immersion. While some players find the graphics appealing and well-suited for the game's fast-paced action, others feel they fall short of expectations, especially for a title inspired by classic racing games.
- “Awesome game great quality, music, graphics one of the best games on VR and now works with SDK 1.3. I rate this game 9 out of 10, well worth every penny.”
- “The graphics look amazing and the gameplay is hypnotic!”
- “The menus are wonderfully polished, the neon graphics look beautiful, and the controls are right there!”
- “The presentation is also lackluster - the visuals suffer from very crude textures plagued by 'coder color' syndrome, and no lighting/shadows making everything look very flat and dull.”

- “Graphics are like you can expect from a really early VR game with graphics done by coders...”

The gameplay has received mixed reviews, with some players finding it repetitive and simplistic, particularly criticizing the lack of variety in tracks and the absence of combat mechanics to enhance depth. However, others appreciate the beautiful graphics and unique features like the gravity reversal mechanic, suggesting that with updates, the gameplay could evolve into a more engaging experience. Overall, while the aesthetic is praised, many feel that the gameplay needs more variety and complexity to keep players invested.
- “The boosting mechanic, when used, takes away shield strength, so optimal usage is important. Like F-Zero, there are shield charging stations.”
- “I like how you can reverse gravity too; definitely a cool mechanic that needs to be utilized in a wider variety of scenarios.”
- “The graphics look amazing and the gameplay is hypnotic!”
- “Gameplay is boring and very repetitive.”
- “The racing mechanics are very simple and the tracks all feel the same.”
- “In my opinion, it needs some sort of combat so you can activate offensive/defensive abilities to add some depth to the gameplay.”
