The graphics in the game are generally considered decent, featuring a blend of neon visuals reminiscent of old-school PlayStation 1 titles, though some effects, like explosions, are criticized for their lack of realism. Players appreciate the option to adjust graphics quality, including a "potato mode," and note that the overall aesthetic complements the game's indie charm. While there are minor graphical bugs, the visuals are deemed satisfactory for the game's style.
“Pretty cool, good graphics for a game like this.”
“A fun indie game with a nice blend of neon visuals and an old school concept, it's playable with an Xbox 360 controller as well as cursor keys and space bar.”
“Graphics are relatively nice except for the explosion when you crash; it's so fake it reminds me of the moon landing in 1969.”
“There should be ways to decrease or increase graphics quality and even have a 'potato mode.'”
“No bugs that I can find other than possibly a graphical bug where if you're going fast enough, it appears you can clip through the edges of some obstacles.”

Gameplay is generally enjoyable, but players feel that movement speed and turning capabilities could be improved for a more dynamic experience. Additionally, there are concerns about the frequency of "drops," suggesting that diversifying these elements could enhance overall gameplay variety.
“Gameplay is nice, but in my opinion, you should be able to go much faster and also be able to turn faster than the rotating object in the game.”
“Also, perhaps it is a little early, but in my opinion, there are too many 'drops'; however, I would probably expand on those to make the gameplay more varied.”
