“I really enjoy this game; it's a neat racing game with a rewind mechanic.”
“The goal of the game is simple: transport blue objects/vehicles to the parking spaces. However, having the powerful map and vehicle editor allows for a limitless set of unique maps created by users that you can spend hours trying to shave off seconds with the instant-replay, no-waiting style gameplay.”
“Addictive gameplay - just like its predecessor, Tricky Truck.”
“This is a game I used to play and have fun with, until the developer revealed that you can rewind the gameplay at any time without any penalty, and those rewinds don't even show during replays, so there's no way to tell who is actually a good player and who rewinds a lot to get the perfect score.”
