How it feels

A casual yet tense racing game where vintage cars feel dangerously unsteady, blending historical atmosphere with competitive multiplayer.

What players say

Players praise the game's art deco style and period jazz soundtrack, but the handling divides them. Some say the slippery physics authentically simulate 1920s cars, while others find the game frustrating and the camera too zoomed-in to see the track ahead. Frequent crashes are reported, and multiplayer is planned but not yet active.
