How it feels

A blisteringly fast arcade racer with tight drift mechanics and a strong sense of speed.

What players say

Players praise the retro low-poly visuals and arcade handling, especially for fans of 90s racers like OutRun or Ridge Racer. However, many criticize severe rubber-band AI that keeps opponents glued to the player, and some report controller support issues. The game also requires an internet connection to start, which Steam Deck users find inconvenient.
