The gameplay features a unique water mechanic that can enhance movement but becomes frustrating on higher difficulties due to an emphasis on precise obstacle navigation. Players criticize the graphics, controls, and physics, suggesting that the game would benefit from a mode allowing for chaotic multiplayer with bots to better utilize its track design.
“The water mechanic is interesting as it lifts your car and allows for movement in various directions, but it can become less enjoyable on harder difficulties when the focus shifts from driving to precise obstacle dodging for an unpredictable duration before reaching the next checkpoint.”
“I really wish there was a mode where you could play with some bots to make it more chaotic and fun, as the type of tracks and gameplay are perfect for this kind of game.”
“Horrendous graphics, terrible gameplay and controls, awful physics.”
