Ratings and reviews

I'll never see memory pointers the same way. I have no negative mention. I completed the story in a single sitting, but will be back soon to complete the few challenges that are still missing. The gameplay ideas simply work, and renew themselves just enough. P.S. Some comments mention the story is ending on a cliffhanger. I suggest that after the credit roll, the player is sent back straight into the game, rather than sent to the main menu. This detour may be the cause of some confusion.

This is possibly the only racing game that will teach you binary, then make you use it to unlock new levels for more story. Getting the controls and boost-angles right may be frustrating at first, but come the end of the game it is both incredibly satisfying and quite intuitive. The story, while short, is well written and feels impactfull. And the music is TOP NOTCH. The dev grabbed some fantastic artists, and listening to retro synthwave while rocketing around curves is absolutely cathartic.

At first, I thought this would be a cool little racing game. Apparently, there's lore integrated into the racing, and it is a pretty good story. Not gonna spoil it here though. The racing is good, and I especially like the ability to thrust off of walls. Amazing game, simple mechanics, and good story. You should play this NOW!
