This game. Oh boy this game. Just don't even bother. Simple as that. Here is why:
It is broken. The mouse controls are just down right broken. I could only continue playing this because I have an Xbox controller to plug in. Even then this game is barely playable. The physics...make no sense. When you roll down a hill and start going up another hill you somehow gain speed and keep going up. This can be level breaking in some levels in which you have to stop or you will fall off.
The first chapter has 30 levels and the second chapter has 9. Did they forget how to count? I have yet to finish the game and so I do not know how many levels are in the final third "Event" but at this rate it should be around 3. It seems that as the game development progressed the just completely gave up.
Speaking of giving up on design, there are a few levels that made me laugh. Stage 2-8 comes to mind. This level seems utterly impossible. If you travel slowly, you fail. If you travel quickly, you fail. Also, really a gem under the track? Was there a misclick when level editing? If you slow down enough to suck in that strangely placed gem, then you will get hit by the boulders.
The ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ gems. Half my playtime is me idling as I rub my temples and breathe in and out slowly, and me redoing levels because the hitbox radius on the vehicle is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ broken. I have literally passed over collectible gems and they have entered my body, and then they have quickly shot out of me for no apparent reason. This can cause you to redo levels just because a gem decided that this day wasn't its day to be collected.
The art. Is it art? I am getting a bit sick of these half assed pixelated games on Steam. Some are really well done and beautifully made. Most aren't. The colors and contrast in this is bad. There is no sense of a color palette. Every pixel just blends in together and it is very hard to focus on things.
The UI is pretty funny. When I tell you that a word is greyed out, you would think that means locked or unclickable right? Nope, grey words are the main things you click on. White words are...I am not even sure. Just info and random words on the side.
The main menu tells you how bad this game is. Watch the drivers, 9/10 don't make it over the fist gap. When they don't even put effort into a simple track in the main menu, you should get an idea of what is to come in the actual levels.
Anyway I could honestly go on and on about how awful this game is. The only positives are the customization and the gem bank mechanic where collectible turn into usable money. But everything else sucks. This game is broken, ugly, and not fun. Don't bother.

The controls with keyboard and mouse are not broken... they're unique. You move forward by swipping your mouse left and right really fast. It's fun if you drink a lot of alcohol while playing. :hype:

(Throws army blanket over your shoulders) There there, the horror is over now. I'll share the pain with you, it's only fair :X
