How it feels

Racing hovering lawnmowers at breakneck speeds through checkpoints on space tracks feels like a frantic arcade time trial with punishing restarts.

What players say

Players are split: some enjoy it as a cheap, silly racing game with easy achievements, while others call it an obvious asset flip. The controls are floaty and a single wall hit means you wipe out, but the AI is so slow that races are rarely close. It is very short, with 16 tracks that take about ten minutes to clear.
