How it feels

A high-speed arcade racing game that demands split-second shooting and driving coordination.

What players say

Players praise the neon TRON-like visuals but are split on the controls: some find them clunky with bad steering, while others say they work after practice. The combination of racing and shooting is a draw, and the difficulty ramps up each lap. A few report a black screen bug on Windows 10.
