What players say
The gameplay is good but the UI is not. The text is so tiny. I might be able to read it if I was playing sat directly in front of a monitor but this is a casual game so it's on a TV across the room. No UI or text scaling options. I haven't been able to read a single help text and I can't see any of the points or what multiplier level I'm on in game. There may be other helpful things being displayed, I literally...

Good game. The top-down art style looks great and the driving feels tight. My problem is me: I'm bad at drifting and I don't have the hours to grind out clean lines. That's not the game's fault. If you have some time to practice, or you're just naturally good at this stuff, buy it. The core is solid and the fun is real once it clicks.
Hard to get used to at first, but drifting is really sweet here, also love the night maps Would have liked to buy the soundtrack to support, it's chill game and a chill jam. Loving it all around
