There isn't a whole lot for me to comment on, but what I do have to comment on is all the important core stuff. The game feels a lot like a PC game created by GRIN known as "Ballistics," with regards to the boost system being super-important and a sense of speed propelling the entire game forward. I very much like the strategy tied into this very simple system: you need to sacrifice the optimal line in order to build up boost, so you can't just stay on it and keep your boost topped up. I can sense that there's probably a very deep strategy tied into when you attack and when you recharge, and I like that. The fact that unlike Ballistics, any loss of pace is your fault via what line you chose and not that you're trying to avoid crashing into bumps and as such you have to create whatever line you think gets you around the fastest doesn't hurt either. It looks like a tutorial is in the works, I would have appreciated having that but knowing that it's in the menus tells me that this is on...

About This Game
You can play on keyboard, but it's going to be hard to keep up with controller users!
High-speed racing that keeps you off the walls
...because there are no walls! We built this in a way that would remove obstacles you might slam into and bring you to a stop. You're either going to be going fast or really fast.
Quick tips:
- The more you rotate your ship, the slower you go. Move efficiently!
- Keep your energy bar high because the lower it is, the slower you go!
- Don't boost all your energy away! Use it in small amounts frequently to recover speed!
Color & combat
Out-maneuvering your opponents is only half of the battle in this racer. Currently with 4 distinct weapons and plans for many more, you'll have plenty of options to ruin your opponent's day. Bright and colorful explosions will litter the track as players aim to reduce each other's energy, which reduces their top speed.
Check out the tutorial in the "Info" section.
Given we did things so differently, there's going to be a lot for you to learn, but don't be discouraged! We include both text and video tutorials to try to get you up to speed as quickly as possible!
Travel through varied surroundings
Bright and natural scenery is what we hope separates us from most other high-speed racers. We've noticed the genre is saturated with dark, claustrophobic and mechanical surroundings, so we wanted to put a different spin on it! Check out our 4 dynamic landscapes:
Frosinn
- Bring the heat to a frozen arctic sea and melt the competition. There are no Lion Seals on this ice sheet, but don’t worry, your opponents should be enough to look out for!
- Get your hipster fighter on in luscious mountains and deciduous woodlands. We’re not here to tear down forests... We’re here to tear through them!
- If you like piña coladas, you’ll love love getting caught in your opponents' draft trails over these beaches. Turns out any paradise is a little less relaxing with enough explosives!
- Don't forget to bring your canteen to these desert cliffs. It might be safer to fill it with jet fuel for backup instead of water, though!

User Reviews
Everyone who developed this game worked super hard on and the effort absolutely shows! They are on top of catching and fixing every little problem and making sure the game is in tip top shape. Absolutely recommend to anyone and everyone that loves high speed racing, intense competition, beautiful scenery, and bright colours!
This was a neat spin for a racing game. Its amazing what small dev teams are capable of making. Good potential, good team, good execution. If everything gets polished and and this grows, well it'd be outstanding. Hope you like the taste of mines though... its all that your gonna eat in this game, and there ain't no shortage of it. Lol
Speed is FELT in this game.
I bought this game a while ago, and now i have played it. It is a quick game that you can play casually. I can't get the hang of it since I'm on mouse and keyboard. I wish the tutorial wold tell you how to play with a keyboard. You can figure it out by going into the key bind setting. Cool game!
Awesome game for price. Good graphics and good music. Can't wait to see it when its completed.
Great game! It has come a long way since the first release and it keeps improving. I can't wait until they add more customization and different planes. Really competitive and a lot of fun to play with friends!
Love the game so far! It has a bit of a nostalgic feel to it but still new and different at the same time. sound effects are great, like the start menu and tracks! Even though its early access and has a long way to go. I'm excited to see what it will turn into. Worth the money.
