What players say
Players praise the drifting mechanic and ship variety but are split on control quality, with some calling controls fine and others calling them awful. The difficulty is steep and the game has a steep ramp, which many enjoy, though some feel balance is off. Long-time players say development was abandoned or deemed finished.
