“Cool racing game with a very distinct and appealing aesthetic and polished, fun gameplay.”
“I personally think the graphics in this game are superb and play a huge part in the game's charm.”
“Chaotic gameplay and beautiful minimalist visuals.”
“It's a rather basic top-down racing game not far off the art style of Geometry Wars.”
“Think of a 2D, vector graphics, top-down view version of Wipeout.”
“It's very Wipeout-ish (weapons while racing and the like), trading one set of fancy graphics for another set of fancy graphics.”

The music in the game has received largely positive feedback, particularly for its engaging electronic and dance tracks that enhance the racing experience. While some users found certain tracks to be loud or random, many praised the soundtrack as fitting perfectly with the gameplay and contributing to the overall enjoyment. Overall, the combination of great music and level design has made the game a joy to play for fans of the genre.
“The soundtrack is very good if you're into electronica, and each racecar has different properties that can work with different playstyles or different racetracks.”
“Great music and fantastic level design.”
“Some annoyingly loud and boring or random music.”
“For £1, I think this was a good purchase for a quick bit of fun, but I think if they polished it up and added some features which you would expect, like background music in multiplayer, a better multiplayer chat system, the ability to change server settings without starting a new server, an end-game timer for slower players, the ability to do something rather than stare at the leaderboard until the next game, etc., then it would be worth its normal £3.”
“The soundtrack combined with the visuals makes this game a complete joy to play.”

The gameplay is characterized by a unique blend of racing mechanics reminiscent of classic titles like RC Pro-Am and Wipeout, featuring adjustable tracks and a track editor for extensive replayability. While the aesthetic is praised for its distinctiveness and the soundtrack enhances the experience, some players find the actual racing speed slower than expected and criticize the content as lacking depth. Overall, the gameplay offers a chaotic yet polished experience, appealing to fans of the genre despite some mixed opinions on its value.
“Cool racing game with a very distinct and appealing aesthetic and polished, fun gameplay.”
“Adjustable tracks, modes, and an editor makes for as much gameplay as you want.”
“A top down, RC Pro-Am style racer with weapon and game mechanics taken straight from the Wipeout series, Geometry Wars-esque vector graphics, and a track editor to boot.”
“The gameplay will be extremely choppy.”
“Overpriced, boring waste of money with virtually zero content or unique gameplay elements.”
“Actual gameplay is not as fast as the store video suggests.”
