You drive into a dark, mysterious city in pursuit of an ominous threat. The short Adventure campaign conveys its story through the environment and in-world messages.
Races are point-to-point survival runs, not laps. Dodge hazards at high speed by jumping, rotating, driving on walls and ceilings, and flying to reach alternate routes and shortcuts.
Arcade mode offers timed runs, ghost races and medals that unlock tracks. You can also play multiplayer modes, generate random tracks, or build and share courses with the level editor.
In the supplied reviews, players often enjoy the combination of high-speed driving, parkour-like car movement and obstacle courses, especially when they master jumps, flips and flight. The electronic soundtrack and neon atmosphere are recurring highlights, while some players also value the story and the extra replay options from custom tracks and time trials. Others find the precision challenges frustrating, particularly when hazards are hard to read or require trial and error.
