    The gameplay is generally praised for its fluidity and depth, drawing strong comparisons to the F-Zero series with its tight driving mechanics and innovative drift-boost system. However, players express a desire for more content, such as additional modes, ships, and tracks, as well as improvements to combat mechanics and production value. While the game offers a fun and fast-paced experience, some users feel that it lacks certain advanced features found in its inspirations, and the learning curve can be steep for newcomers.

    • “The gameplay maintains a 'simple yet deep' approach where you don't need to swing out various parts of your ship to make a turn, but mastering the mechanics it does have (drifting and boost management for the most part) will help you significantly.”
    • “The driving mechanics here are absolutely incredible!”
    • “It's really bare in regards to official content right now, but the core gameplay is fantastic and I can't wait to see where the developers will take this game.”
    • “Very slow updates and I'm not a fan of the new drifting boost mechanics.”
    • “I'm missing more modes, more ships, tracks, mechanics, a customization editor for your ship, and maybe even visual effects (like how your boost looks) or online multiplayer.”
    • “Where the game falters is in the gameplay.”
  • music25 mentions

    The music in the game is generally well-received, with many players appreciating its upbeat and fitting electronic soundtrack, though some feel it falls short compared to iconic soundtracks from similar titles like F-Zero. While the inclusion of a custom music feature is a highlight, allowing players to personalize their experience, there are calls for more variety and quality in the default tracks. Overall, the music complements the gameplay effectively, but improvements and expansions are desired.

    • “The style, music, level design and graphics need a lot of improvement.”
    • “Con - music (need more) and loading screen (plain white screen).”
  • graphics21 mentions

    The graphics of the game have received mixed reviews, with many users noting a washed-out aesthetic and low-quality textures that contribute to a generally middling visual experience. While some appreciate the minimalist style as fitting for the fast-paced gameplay, others feel it lacks polish and vibrancy, comparing it unfavorably to more graphically impressive titles. Overall, the visuals are seen as simplistic and in need of improvement, though they do complement the game's straightforward mechanics.

    • “It's blisteringly fast, with a pleasing aesthetic and a soundtrack that ranges from decent to certified bops.”
    • “I personally think it fits the overall aesthetic and gameplay style (you are not gonna look too closely at anything when you're going almost 2000 km/h most of the time.) the music is also very nice and fitting, cool jams no matter where you're at.”
    • “This game's simple colorful graphics and intense effects make it feel like I was moving at light speed.”
    • “The graphics look washed out with grayish tones, textures are low quality; honestly, it's very middling graphically.”

    • “The style, music, level design, and graphics need a lot of improvement.”

    • “If you're someone who solely wants a meaty campaign or story mode with tons of tracks and variety, you may wish to wait until the full release.”

    • “I haven't experienced any performance or frame rate issues; it runs quite smoothly.”

  • replayability2 mentions

    The game's replayability is primarily driven by its track editor, which allows for potentially limitless custom tracks, although the limited number of built-in tracks may reduce overall replay value.

    • “There are plenty of elements from the franchise in terms of speed, level designs, and more. While I haven't tried it, the track editor adds potentially limitless replay value.”

    • “Super Pilot has the greedy, cash grab price of $13 USD, for which you could easily get any number of older AAA games, let alone the sheer number of free games available on Steam.”
