The gameplay is generally praised for its fluidity and depth, drawing strong comparisons to the F-Zero series while incorporating unique mechanics like drift-boosting. 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. Despite some concerns about the learning curve and the current lack of features, the core driving mechanics are considered excellent and engaging, making for a fun and fast-paced racing experience.
- “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.”
- “The game was better in the earlier builds with the original gameplay, in my opinion.”

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 GX.

Overall, the music complements the gameplay well, but improvements and expansions are desired.
- “It's blisteringly fast, with a pleasing aesthetic and a soundtrack that ranges from decent to certified bops.”
- “The music is also very nice and fitting, cool jams no matter where you're at.”
- “Music is good, gameplay is solid and the inclusion of a track-making tool adds longevity to the game.”
- “But with cheap music, terrible track design, and slow and wonky input response.”
- “The style, music, level design and graphics need a lot of improvement.”
- “Con - music (need more) and loading screen (plain white screen).”

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.

- “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.”
