How it feels

A tense and strategic hovercraft racer where early weakness can snowball but comebacks are possible, rewarding smart resource management and team coordination.

What players say

Players agree the hovercraft combat is fun on paper, but the online servers are completely empty, leaving only bot matches that most find repetitive. Opinions split on whether the controls feel janky or immersive, and many call the scrap-collect-upgrade loop shallow for the asking price.
