    The music in the game is generally well-received, with a solid selection that effectively sets the tone, despite some tracks being described as generic. While the soundtrack features a few less impressive songs, many players enjoy the upbeat and engaging tracks that enhance the overall experience. Overall, the music contributes positively to the game's atmosphere, though some players hope for further improvements in future updates.

    • “The music selection is good even if a bit generic, but it definitely sets the right tone for this style of game.”
    • “The soundtrack is decent, one or two meh songs, but several that groove hard.”
    • “Fun game, love the graphics and music but still needs a ton of polishing; I can't wait to see how this game evolves and want to see how the devs make it better in time, hence why I won't be refunding the game.”
  • gameplay
    8 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Gameplay is characterized by a mix of enjoyable mechanics and a learning curve, with players needing to invest time to master the controls, similar to Rocket League. While the thrill of aerial maneuvers and unique grinding mechanics adds excitement, some users feel that the car handling, particularly drifting, requires refinement for a more polished experience. Overall, the game offers a fun, arcade-like racing experience, even for those who may not yet have mastered all the advanced techniques.

    • “The mechanics are flawless and flying through the air spinning barrel rolls is awesome.”
    • “You probably won't be able to do all the cool stuff you see in the trailer on your first day; in fact, you'll probably need to put quite a few hours in to get good mechanically - just like with Rocket League - but the thing is, I still had a blast just messing around and treating this as a 'flightless' arcade racer, mostly just drifting to be able to use the boost.”
    • “The added grinding mechanic is a unique touch to this game and is really fun to pull off when you get the hang of it.”
    • “But the mechanics and handling of the car need polishing. As someone who plays a lot of racing games, the handling feels especially off; drifting really doesn't work like that.”

    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players appreciate the unique grinding mechanic in the game, finding it enjoyable and rewarding once mastered. However, the physics-based nature of the gameplay can lead to frequent crashes and restarts, particularly when attempting riskier grinding maneuvers.

    • “Like Lonely Mountains, it's physics-based and you can find yourself crashing a lot on your way through the levels, having to restart at checkpoints often, especially if you take more daring lines like grinding a log surrounded by water.”
    • “After much grinding yesterday, I wondered... can I do a 'darkslide' in this game?”
    • “The added grinding mechanic is a unique touch to this game and is really fun to pull off when you get the hang of it.”
