Reviews
- The game is incredibly fun for local multiplayer, supporting up to 8 players, and offers a chaotic, enjoyable experience with friends.
- The car physics and variety of power-ups add depth to the gameplay, making each match exciting and unpredictable.
- The developers are responsive to player feedback and have created a polished game that is enjoyable even in its early access state.
- The lack of online matchmaking limits the game's accessibility for those without friends to play with locally.
- The control scheme is considered awkward by some players, which detracts from the overall experience.
- While the game is fun, it currently lacks depth in competitive mechanics and single-player content, making it feel somewhat random.
