  • Super Toy Cars captures the nostalgic feel of driving toy cars around various environments, reminiscent of classic games like Micro Machines.
  • The game offers a fun and accessible kart racing experience with a variety of cars, upgrades, and a forgiving difficulty level, making it suitable for players of all ages.
  • The inclusion of a track editor and Steam Workshop support adds replayability and creativity, allowing players to create and share their own tracks.
  • The game suffers from poor collision detection and physics issues, leading to frustrating gameplay experiences, such as getting stuck on objects or hitting invisible walls.
  • There is a lack of content, with only a few distinct tracks and repetitive gameplay modes, which can make the experience feel monotonous over time.
  • Multiplayer features are underwhelming, with limited online playability and a dead player base, making it difficult to find matches.
  • music
    67 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game has received mixed reviews, with many players noting that while the soundtrack features some decent tracks, it quickly becomes repetitive due to the limited number of songs. Some users appreciate the quality of the music, describing it as enjoyable and enhancing the gameplay, but others find it poorly suited to the game's aesthetic and suggest using personal playlists instead. Overall, the soundtrack is seen as a highlight for some, but its repetitiveness and lack of variety detract from the experience for many players.

    • “The soundtrack that accompanies this game is really great; it enhances the gameplay and makes it more fun, it's pleasant and really sets the mood for racing.”
    • “Some decent rock music is playing in the background and is probably the strongest part of this racing game.”
    • “Thanks to the good graphics and catchy soundtrack, playing this game is fun and puts you in a good mood.”
    • “Music doesn't really fit the game and there are only a few songs.”
    • “The soundtrack is a few rather forgettable songs from some indie band you've invariably never heard of, and it will likely leave you muting it and playing your own choice of music instead.”
    • “The soundtrack is only 2 tracks so you turn off the sound very, very fast.”
  • graphics
    52 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game receive mixed reviews, with some players praising the "toy car" aesthetic and the ability to adjust settings for improved visuals, achieving good performance even on lower-end hardware. However, many critiques highlight sub-par graphics, rough edges, and a lack of visual variety across tracks, suggesting that while there are moments of beauty, the overall execution is inconsistent and could benefit from further refinement.

    • “The toy car aesthetic is on point.”
    • “I played around with the various options until I found the optimal settings for my graphics card and the game now looks great.”
    • “A fun and graphically appealing racing game.”
    • “Sub-par graphics with awful colors.”
    • “The graphics are ugly, especially the edges are very rough, even with 8x MSAA activated.”
    • “The graphics are not exceptional and the game is a lot worse than it could have been due to the console heritage; once more we see consoles making gaming worse for everyone.”
  • gameplay
    36 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay of the game has received mixed reviews, with some players appreciating the unique physics and enjoyable racing experience, while others criticize the janky controls, repetitive tracks, and unbalanced mechanics. Many noted that the drifting and boosting systems feel awkward and can lead to frustrating gameplay, despite the presence of a catchy soundtrack. Overall, while the game offers a simple and fun concept, it suffers from significant mechanical flaws and a lack of variety, leading to a generally subpar experience.

    • “Let's start by saying that the soundtrack that accompanies this game is really great; it enhances the gameplay and makes it more fun. It's pleasant and really sets the mood for racing.”
    • “A few things to note: the game was polished, updated, and a lot of issues it had during early access were fixed. This game is a lot better than it was in early access; it really is a complete and working game. The mechanics behind the game were done beautifully, and the physics were brilliantly created. The two combined give us a unique and very enjoyable racing experience.”
    • “The mechanics of this game are more influenced by physics than most other kart racing games I've played, and though it takes a little bit of getting used to, it is very enjoyable once you get the hang of it.”
    • “The controls are very janky, the graphics are mediocre at best, and it has mechanics that weren't even fully flushed out.”
    • “Super short game with 8 episodes which all feature the same game modes/maps but have a slightly faster enemy. I'm glad the game only offers around 2 hours of gameplay because it became very boring very fast, especially with the same songs playing again and again. It's like a demo track for some band; definitely needed more uniqueness over the course of the game.”
    • “More than anything, the chunky hit boxes and punishing reset mechanics made for an infuriating experience.”
  • stability
    15 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's stability has been widely criticized, with users reporting numerous bugs, poor optimization, and limited controller support, leading to frustrating gameplay experiences. While some players found enjoyment despite these issues, many noted that the game feels unfinished and is plagued by glitches, particularly in multiplayer and track creation features. Overall, the consensus is that the game is still in an early access state and requires significant improvements to achieve a stable and polished experience.

    • “Spent a half hour figuring out the controller problem, not worth it for this buggy game.”
    • “Terrible, buggy, half-baked game with no controller support.”
    • “Buggy as hell, this is far from a finished product.”
  • humor
    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The humor in the game is generally well-received, with players appreciating its funny maps and nostalgic references to classic N64 racers. While the gameplay offers satisfying comedic moments, such as crushing opponents with a giant 8-ball, some reviewers suggest that additional humorous elements, like sound effects, could enhance the experience further. Overall, it is considered a charming and amusing addition to the arcade racing genre.

    • “A funny little gem, which makes me remember (and miss) the fun racers of the N64 era.”
    • “Funny good racing game!”
    • “There are a lot of funny maps.”
  • optimization
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Overall, the game's optimization is generally well-received, with users reporting good performance on Linux using Steam Play (Proton 7.0-2). While "Super Toy Cars" experiences some typical performance issues associated with Unity games, they are less severe than in other titles, though framerate stutters can still impact gameplay in a racing context.

    • “I played on a Linux system using Steam Play (Proton 7.0-2) without any issues, and the performance was excellent.”
    • “Performance is pretty good as well.”
    • “Super Toy Cars suffers from the usual performance problems that all Unity games face, although here they aren't as bad as in other games. However, in a racing game, a frame rate stutter can lead to a loss of control of the vehicle.”
  • replayability
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players appreciate the game's replayability due to options for online and local multiplayer, as well as the inclusion of a level editor and Steam Workshop support, allowing for user-generated content. This variety and community engagement contribute to a lasting and engaging experience.

    • “There is also the option to play online or locally with others, which provides extra replayability.”

  • monetization
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The monetization strategy of the game prominently features partnerships with soundtrack providers, as evidenced by their visibility in advertising and on the loading screen, suggesting a focus on leveraging music for promotional purposes.

    • “The monetization system feels overly aggressive, making it hard to enjoy the game without spending money.”
    • “It's frustrating how many features are locked behind paywalls, which ruins the overall experience.”
    • “The constant prompts to purchase in-game currency take away from the immersion and enjoyment of the game.”
  • atmosphere

    • “An authentic atmosphere for a toy car fun racer.”

  • story
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story aspect of the game is criticized for its repetitive mission design and frustrating AI behavior, leading to a lack of engagement and enjoyment for players.

    • “After that, I encountered a rehashed mission type with mines added, where all the AI immediately steered into mines and blew themselves up. I hit one and launched ahead faster to win, and at that point, I just gave up.”
