The gameplay features a unique hover car driving experience on ice, which initially feels engaging but quickly becomes repetitive and slow as players acclimate to the mechanics. While the driving mechanics are considered decent, the overall experience tends to lack excitement and variety over time.
“The weird hover car on ice driving/sliding feel eventually becomes boring, slow, and uneventful gameplay once you get used to it.”
“I wouldn't say it plays anywhere near as well as that game, but the driving mechanics are still decent.”

The music in the game has been criticized for being repetitive and annoying, with a particularly bothersome tune that plays after every checkpoint, creating a jarring experience as it fades in and out continuously.
“A pointless, annoying tune plays after every checkpoint, making it sound like there's music fading in and out constantly.”
