How it feels

A nostalgic top-down offroad racer with deformable terrain that makes every lap play differently.

What players say

Players love the arcade off-road racing and dynamic terrain deformation that ruts up tracks over time. The AI is surprisingly challenging, and the game shines with friends, but reviewers say development stopped long ago, multiplayer requires manual port forwarding, and new players find all content locked.
