[h1]Avoid At All Costs[/h1]
This game is terrible. Between the tedious and maze-like track design, to the terrible controls, and finally finishing it off with some of the worst camera I've ever seen in a "racing" game.
There are 10 total tracks, and I gave up at track 7 because the ramps would most of the time flip you around all over or stop all momentum that you had, so that you can't go fast enough to make the jump to complete it. Two of the tracks are decently designed where it's a few obstacles here and there that you have to drive around and are pretty well done, but the other 5 tracks that I played are a nightmare.
The [b]1st[/b] track, which is a decent starting track because it's basically just a circle.
The [b]2nd[/b] track isn't terrible, but you have to gas it on the first ramp, or you'll probably get stuck since it's 2 ramps back-to-back, but you can't get enough speed to get over the obstacle if you land in the area with the second ramp.
The [b]3rd[/b] track is a small road with desert, but a bit of the track isn't flat, so you're bumping around for the first 20 seconds, then you have to make a huge jump that you won't have speed for because the bumps had prevented you from retaining speed.
The [b]4th[/b] track has you avoid a few obstacles for the first 5 seconds, then places 3 connected houses in front of you. This is a maze-like system. There are 4 sections total, and for each portion of the track, there are 2 of the pathways covered in glass, so it's just a dead end. Once you figure out the correct way, there's no problem beating the timer.
The [b]5th[/b] track has you going down a straight path weaving in and out of obstacles and it's the best designed track.
The [b]6th[/b] track is another maze-like map, where if you go left at the beginning, you're down 15 seconds already.
The [b]7th[/b] track is just ramps with thin passageways, but you can barely get enough speed to even make the 1st ramp most of the time because the vehicle keeps colliding with the design of the ramp causing you to lose all momentum. I didn't finish this one.
The [b]8th[/b] track is another maze-like map, where you have to go off of the path unknowingly and go through another one of the housing obstacles.
The [b]9th[/b] track is just a lot of ramp jumps. I've already said how bad these ramps are.
The [b]10th[/b] and final track has 3 jumps at the start, but the ramps aren't even high enough to clear it without jumping. I'll talk about this in controls. Then it's glass blockers again, then a blind jump, then more glass blockers.
The controls are abysmal.
It uses the typical WASD for vehicle controls and forward/brake. No problem. However, it also uses mouse movement for air control and left-mouse to JUMP. There is a jump button in a racing game, but it's LMB.
If you think the screenshots on the store page are for aesthetics, I promise you they're not.
That's the actual camera in the game. It's not even a directly following camera. It's below the kart, so most of the time you're blocking your own way while trying to figure out your way through a maze. The only other camera is a 1st person camera.
The problem with the 1st person camera is that your vehicle dips on jumps. While playing in the other camera, the vehicle would come off of a ramp and stay flat a large chunk of the time, but if you try to do the same in 1st person cam, then you will nosedive on almost every single jump. This is the only way to play the game though because otherwise you cannot see where you are going, since the character and kart are so large and the camera isn't raised.
I would not recommend anybody ever purchase this, even though it's only $1 or less on a sale. It wouldn't be worth your time or money if they paid you $1 an hour to play it.
0/10 Made my computer make noises that I didn't know it could.
