The gameplay of the game is praised for its innovative mechanics, particularly the color-changing paint system that adds depth and strategic decision-making to the racing experience. While the power slide mechanic is criticized for being ineffective, the overall package is considered fun and engaging, reminiscent of classic snowboarding games with a modern twist. Despite some bugs and minor issues, the game offers a cohesive and enjoyable racing experience, especially in multiplayer settings.
- “Good mechanics, good visuals, good audio, great fun!”
- “I love the paint mechanic, making me ally with the other racers one second and then making them my rivals again once I go through the wrong puddle.”
- “Very fun take on the racing genre, the paint mechanic adds a lot of depth and fast-paced decision making to the game.”
- “There's a power slide mechanic that is practically useless as the boost it gives you at the end is really not worth the significant decrease in speed while sliding, nor is there a tiered boost system, so you have to chain power slides on longer corners, which again, is not worth it.”
- “And just because it's a uni game doesn't mean its mechanics and decisions can't be criticized, no matter how inexperienced the devs are.”
- “Had some weird errors saying my graphics card driver was outdated, then it told me to install an older version... I ignored the message and it did not impact gameplay.”
