How it feels

Zooming around tiny tracks in a pixel-art car, grabbing chaotic power-ups to blast your friends off the road.

What players say

Players mostly bought this 1998 re-release for nostalgia. They praise the 90s pre-rendered graphics and soundtrack but note the game is stuck at 800x600 resolution, Steam does not track playtime correctly, and the difficulty spikes. The combat racing plays like an arcade racer with rockets and mines, similar to Micro Machines.
