Fun and engaging top-down racing gameplay with satisfying drift mechanics and car physics.
Vibrant, stylish visuals with a cool neon and monochromatic art style complemented by a synthwave soundtrack.
Strong local multiplayer experience, making it a great party game to challenge friends on one machine.

Very limited content with only a few cars, tracks, and no alternate game modes or progression system.
Numerous bugs, glitches, and technical issues including AI problems, crashing mechanics, and no race respawn.
Online multiplayer is awkward to set up and missing many features; lack of updates and perceived abandonment by developers.
