I had the same thoughts as Pix, really. The music is cool, the game looks nice but it doesn’t really hold up to Mario Kart. The handbrake is too overpowered. I rarely used anything else in the end. Just go straight, tap tap tap tap go straight, …
You really play on a grid. The tracks are all very samey, the powerups are unimaginative, the rubber banding is extreme.
It was not unfun, I definitely had some fun moments with it, but compared to the Nintendo’s template, there’s not much there.
But when the rubber banding made 4 or 5 opponents pass me just to be bombarded with hedgehogs lap after lap, that was fun for a while.
