Fun and addictive top-down arcade style racing game with weapons and fast-paced gameplay.
Great soundtrack, appealing minimalist vector graphics, and a high skill ceiling that rewards precision and mastery.
Includes a track editor, multiple modes (elimination, survival, time trial), and multiplayer support (though somewhat limited).

Multiplayer is largely dead or broken with frequent crashes, no active servers, and poor controller support.
Controls can be frustrating and unintuitive, especially with keyboard; lack of map rotation and poor handling were also noted.
Technical issues such as compatibility problems on modern systems, choppy performance in windowed mode, and occasional crashes.
