What players say

Players call it a minimalist time-trial racer in the spirit of Trackmania, focused purely on finding the perfect line. There is no actual racing against rivals, only ghosts, and the game never requires the brake. Some are disappointed by the lack of promised features and content, while others praise the zen-like flow and sense of speed.
