Fun little game with smooth and fast-paced racing, especially enjoyable in endurance modes where last place is eliminated each lap.
Great for solo play and local multiplayer, with a variety of well-balanced ships and a decent challenge from AI.
Cool retro aesthetic and enjoyable gameplay, making it a good time filler and worth trying for fans of top-down racers.

The game suffers from technical issues, including crashes when using the track editor and poor controller support.
Multiplayer functionality is unreliable, with many players unable to connect or find games online.
Gameplay can feel chaotic and luck-based due to unbalanced power-ups and AI behavior, leading to frustrating experiences.

The music in the game has received generally positive feedback, particularly for its energetic electronic soundtrack that enhances the racing experience.

Overall, the music is considered a highlight, especially for fans of dance and electronic genres.

- “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.”

- “Overpriced, boring waste of money with virtually zero content or unique gameplay elements.”
