Specs
Ranked in these QuestionsQuestion Ranking
Pros
Pro Split-Screen multiplayer
Pro Power-up system allows for tactical gameplay
The game includes highly devastating power-ups that can be collected and swapped between to deploy at the most opportune moment. Choosing what power-ups to hold on to, when to use which and in what order requires quickly assessing the situations and making up plans on the fly.
Pro Multiple modes
Simple race (no power-ups), power-up racing (like mario kart), or destruction derby (more confined space, non linear, hit opponents with power-ups for score).
Pro Addictively challenging gameplay where "just one more game" is a constant
You will die, a lot, and that is the point. The game is challenging, but fair. It is as much about memorization as it is about precision of movement. This makes for a game that needs to be practiced, quite a bit, which should appeal to those who enjoy working for their achievements.
Pro Aggressive aesthetic that forces the player to adapt to succeed, which keeps the gameplay interesting
The visual design of the game consists of basic geometric shapes in bright colors that turn and blink, all while you are trying to stay focused on a little triangle in the middle. This can be distracting and is by design in order to try to trip up the player in their goal of continuing as long as they can.
Pro Great soundtrack that complements the gameplay perfectly
The soundtrack is done by BossFightSwe, who is very well known for their video game sounds.
Cons
Con PC port could have been better
The menu's have no way to navigate via mouse, the controller support is spotty and the keybindings are fixed.
Con May cause nausea
The fast spinning graphics could cause some people a bit of nausea.
