Not Recommended

WARNING: As of April 2025 the online component of this game is dead, which means you can no longer access any of the community tracks or leaderboards. It is still possible to play in offline mode, but the only thing you can do offline is play the 20 official tracks which can be completed in about an hour. After that, there is nothing left to do. It also means that most of the achievements are broken. This game looked like it could be fun but it is impossible to recommend in its current state unless the server comes back online, which seems unlikely since there has been no word from the developer in years.
