In less than half an hour of gameplay, I've had one crash and two freezes. The game feels unpolished and unfinished, and the driving mechanics are really wonky. They're supposed to focus on drifting, as the game name implies, but are unsuitable for that as well. The soundtrack is decent, but sound effects are jarringly inadequate. This game has potential, but it will take a lot of work before it's actually enjoyable. I will be asking for a refund, unfortunately.
On a more positive note, the visual effects are really as incredible as the screenshots show.

Buggy, and the last update was more than 1 year ago so they'll probably never be fixed. Also the drifting is really basic.
It would need more work and more fixes to be fun.

Sadly a little waste of time, because I just finished this game with all the success complete in 1:20 hours :(. I was a little expecting something more challenge it, but it's not enough for me for just driving 10km in the second level. There's a problem with the car when he's drifting, is like on the glass and it's the only we should be careful. My point for some good things in the game is the decoration of the map (but it's a little to big) and the music. Satifing by it, it's confortable. If it will be for an another game, I'll be curious. But for now, there's not enough fun. All the thing is this game I like is the decoration. :)

The graphic style is nice and matches the theme, but unfortunately there is very little substance. The tracks are bland and have little vaporwave or synthwave feel, there is only one car, and nothing to do besides trying to beat your own lap times. At this point, the only saving grace would be the music, but that is maybe the weakest part of the game.

One of the most boring driving games I've ever played. Car just feels really bad to control. The game's also fairly buggy. I found that each time an achievement popped, it stopped the menu buttons from working, so I had to alt-f4 at the end of each level. There are much better driving games you can get for cheaper.

As an old school gamer I CAN'T RECOMMEND this game because of its controls mostly.
It would be better to exclude present (unnecessary) acceleration and use only Turbo button as acceleration and maintaining speed too, ex. UP arrow or W letter. And space button as drift.(simpler)
The best solution is to use ONLY arrow keys or WASD as controls. When you want to accelerate press up arrow or W automatically igniting turbo effect = acceleration and maintain speed, when you steer over maybe 15-20 degrees (without UP or W) you automatically drift, and if you want backwards you use down button or S button.
Include control options (custom options).
This game needs as simple as possible controls as relaxing game.
Pros:
- nice graphics,
- relaxing,
-turbo effect,
Cons:
- complicated controls,
- unable to change command options,
- only few maps.
I would really want to like this game. With SIMPLIFIED controls, command options and few more maps(even creator) this would be huge changeover.

Als großer Vaporwave-Fan musste ich mir das holen, aber ich bin einfach nur enttäuscht. Die Landschaften werden schnell langweilig, weil sie sich in den Levels überhaupt nicht verändern, die Steuerung auf dem Controller ist seltsam und man hat alle Level bis auf das Letzte, das ziemlich frustrierend ist, in 30 Minuten durchspielen. Wenn ihr einen guten Vaporwave Racer wollt, würde ich eher RetroWave oder OutDrive empfehlen

While it might seem "bland" and get bored after a bit, its still aesthetically pleasing and the driving expierence is decent/alright (6/10 rating for driving). Overall its a nice game to chill when you're bored while listening to some retro/synth/vaporwave soundtracks. Support the game, give it a chance and i think it will receive the update it deserves

Well this game ATM I wouldn't recommend it. I'm not sure if it's me, but I found the driving mechanics very sloppy. I know it's designed for drifting, but I felt like you couldn't even drive straight on the road like water. The boosting felt like you were shooting a gun which makes no sense and that split second your in a different position.
