Early Access Review
It's definitely fun and obviously heavily inspired by Race the Sun, and that's a good thing. What the letter had going for it in the sort of abstraction this one is pursuing a more realistic visual style of techno-dystopia. Yet feels way more unforgiving, since you can't jump out of dead end and only offer one retry per run, so memorizing patterns adds some nice variants to later game stages. It even has Dune sized metal sand worms popping out if nowhere.

The great soundtrack gives it a Gesaffelstein'ish atmosphere, yet could use some expansion over the the currently very short playlist.

The multiplayer leader board is nice and after a few day of playing you get a feeling that it really is quite unforgiving after stage 15 or so, even the upgrades won't get you much further, so it's a quite leveled ladder.

Developers are currently (Feb 2016) very responsive and might fix some minor issues with controllers and non-16:9 ratios.
