Good game, but would recommend buying it on a sale as there are no achievements, and it is a very short games taking around 5 hours to complete the story mode and another maybe 2 hours to bear champion mode.

Awesome, fun game. Pretty short game to complete but overall very good and worth playing.
★★★★★John Paul Espedillon· Jul 13, 2026
One of the best childhood games I've played years ago. Despite being short and repetitive, it still brings joy for me through nostalgia as it is a simple game but manages to get you hooked with a good variety of vehicles and interesting obstacles to pass through every level.

I paid $0.10 for this game and that's all it is worth, stretched the game by making it unreasonably difficult, so you repeat the level 20+ times to get to the checkpoint. Finished in 1 day! Upgrade for better cars cost as much as the car itself, how that makes any sense, IDK?! Gas and boost upgrades seems pointless, what the gauge is with one is with full. Gas gauge doesn't only go down when you accelerate, if the vehicle moving, it drops gas. Unreasonably difficult explained! 👎

The last level (Exodus) of the campaign is basically impossible (even with a fully upgraded vehicle. You run out of fuel and boost with about 1/5th of the level left. I don't know if it used to be easier, and they broke part of the game with updates, since I got the game a few days ago, but currently it's not possible for a normal player to finish. This wouldn't matter a ton normally, but there are two additional modes locked behind finishing the campaign, so it adds an extra layer of stink
