    104 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game has received mixed reviews, with many players praising the catchy and humorous soundtrack that enhances the gameplay experience.

    • “The design is stunning, the graphics and style are spot-on, the soundtrack slaps, and the gameplay is a blast.”
    • “The soundtrack is very fitting and humorous, and for me at least, the music doesn't get old; however, more variety would be great.”
    • “However, the music is quite bad and should definitely be disabled.”
    • “While the game is fun, multiplayer is buggy for being early access, but the worst issue is that no content creators can make videos or reviews of the game due to copyright claims on the music used.”
    • “There are only about 8 music tracks, which get repetitive as well.”
  • humor
    84 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    • “Whether you're laughing at a cart crashing off a cliff or celebrating a perfectly timed drift, this game delivers endless fun.”
    • “Ridiculously funny, simple, and charming in a chaotic sort of way, 'Slacker - Carts of Glory' is a game that takes seconds to learn and minutes, if not hours, to master.”
  • gameplay
    79 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is characterized by its mechanical precision and chaotic controls, offering a blend of fun and challenge that is both easy to learn and difficult to master. Players appreciate the well-designed maps and the addictive nature of the cart mechanics, which provide a unique and entertaining experience, whether playing solo or with friends.

    • “The maps are so well designed and thought out, and the mechanics (although hard to master) are so fun to learn and play with.”
    • “The design is stunning, the graphics and style are spot-on, the soundtrack slaps, and the gameplay is a blast.”
    • “The mechanics are easy to pick up, but it takes real skill to execute the perfect race, especially when every obstacle can instantly end your run.”
    • “But if you intend to play it 'seriously' then you will inevitably run into an issue: what may not be apparent from the gameplay videos is that the cart constantly and erratically rotates left and right in addition to your controller input.”
    • “And as we all learned when Super Smash Bros Brawl was released with its random tripping mechanic, RNG and high skill requirements tend to produce frustration when mixed.”
    • “It's basically Trackmania with less mechanics but much harder 'cart' control.”
  • graphics
    53 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game are widely praised for their vibrant, colorful, and stylized art style, reminiscent of classic titles like "The Simpsons: Hit & Run" and "Tony Hawk's" games.

    • “It looks like it's straight from Epic Games, top-notch quality, fresh concept, and amazing graphics delivered with meticulous care of the details.”

    • “Would be cool to see player models having blood on them or something like that to add another layer to the goofy graphics.”
    • “While the art style is not my thing, the physics gameplay is actually very nice.”
  • stability
    11 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's stability is a significant concern, particularly in multiplayer mode, which is plagued by bugs typical of early access titles. Users report issues such as inability to run in full screen, frequent freezes, and problems with sound settings and leaderboards. While some players have not experienced crashes or major glitches, the overall impression is that the game feels unstable and frustrating, leading to a lack of content creation due to copyright issues with the music.

    • “Might try again if it is fixed in the future, but till now it seems like a buggy mess.”
    • “The game can't even run in full screen mode and is buggy as hell, and for what? Just to get new levels that are impossible to reach unless you break something, of course, why?”
    • “All my time on this game was nothing but problems after problems and freezes/crashes.”
  • story
    7 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's story is described as thin and predictable, lacking depth or complexity, which some players find refreshing as it allows for a focus on gameplay rather than narrative. While the humor and energy contribute to its entertainment value, the absence of checkpoints and a structured campaign frustrates players seeking a more traditional gaming experience. Overall, the game is seen as a simple indie title with minimal story engagement.

    • “I like this game, and I've gotten gold or better on all missions, but it's a serious test of patience.”
    • “While the plot is thin and predictable, the humor and energy keep it entertaining.”
    • “This is pure indie gaming, just a simple game with a simple goal and no endless lore or story I have to care about.”
    • “Because there are no checkpoints, no saved points, and nothing, time trials are just time trials, not a campaign or story. It's not the way it should be, as this is a game with trolleys. Just make it fun and easy to progress through the campaign without racing yourself 24/7.”
  • optimization
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Overall, the game's optimization is praised, with users reporting no glitches, errors, or crashes, and noting that the graphics do not hinder performance. However, the random directional choice at the start of each run can significantly affect performance, suggesting some variability in gameplay experience.

    • “I did not encounter any glitches, errors, crashes, or performance issues.”
    • “No ridiculous, performance-tanking graphics.”
    • “In the beginning of each run, you randomly go right or left, which can massively impact performance.”
  • emotional
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players express a strong emotional connection to the game, highlighting a sense of thrill and excitement as they envision high-speed antics in a shopping cart. Despite frustrations with gameplay mechanics, such as inconsistencies in object interactions and a lack of customization options, the overall experience evokes a desire for reckless fun and adventure.

    • “Never before has a game made me wish I was flying down a road at 150 kph in a shopping cart and smashing my head into stop signs, but this game made me feel that way. My only gripe is that there are no settings for multiplayer lobbies or cart customization after you have earned your bronze, silver, gold, or platinum medals on a track.”
  • grinding
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players find the grinding aspect in the game, particularly in the hillbomb mode, to be overly tedious and wish for more customization options in multiplayer lobbies. Despite this, there is a desire for the inclusion of actual tricks and grinding mechanics to enhance gameplay.

    • “All I have to say is that hillbomb is way too tedious to play. I wish I could adjust the camera's height, and I hope multiplayer lobbies get more customization (custom timer options and a vote to move on from the current map would be nice).”
    • “But I do believe actual tricks and grinding would be awesome to add!”
  • monetization
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game features a favorable monetization model with no paid DLC or microtransactions, offering players new characters, maps, and leaderboards without additional costs. This approach has been well-received by users, highlighting a commitment to a fair gaming experience.
