How it feels
A chaotic, fast-paced arcade racer where you zip around on a rocket, lasso opponents with cables, and smash them into walls with cartoonish glee.

What players say
Players are thrilled to see this 90s cult classic on Steam, but many note it's a bare-bones port. The input delay between button press and action is widely reported, gamepad support is missing, and multiplayer only works over LAN. Fans praise the surf-rock soundtrack and the three game modes, but split on whether the current state justifies the price over older fan-made compatibility layers.
