If you’re looking for a monthly budget indie racing game that delivers fun with basic graphics, look no further.

Driving is completely arcade and pretty decent. This entails driving with full power, rarely using the brakes. You can choose from a variety of tracks and four different weather conditions: day, night, rain, and snow. The surface doesn't really make a difference, other from somewhat worse traction.

Starting with the highest difficulty makes winning a race impossible because your car only has three gears and no speed. Although you do receive twice as much money on the hardest setting, driving skillfully on lower difficulty results in a larger payoff.

You will need to race the same tracks frequently to make enough money because upgrades are expensive. Some tracks are even impossible to complete because your car can't climb the hill or your motor blows up as you drive over a little bump. I suggest the Volcano track that can be finished in around a minute.

After you purchase the essential parts, everything is a piece of cake. If the sponsorship upgrade that increases winning had been working, this process would have been finished more quickly. Now it’s just a waste of money because it has no effect. As a matter of fact, there are a few upgrades that don't do anything; bought the 4th gear but still driving in 3rd, bought the upgrade to lower the odds of animals showing up but they still keep appearing everywhere, etc.

There isn't much to see on the extremely simple tracks. The animals crossing the road are the only thing of interest. You have five rally tracks and one on the circuit against other drivers. At least one is unplayable during the night because it’s so dark you can’t see anything.

I was pleasantly surprised with a co-driver announcing the type of turns and a camera inside the car. Most don’t bother with these little things.

These problems shouldn't be occurring but with that said I've never not released a game without bugs. I think I might know the cause of one of them already.

I will look into it. Thanks.

EDIT:
As for the gear count being stuck, have you tried manual? This isn't happening for me. I'm about to update with a fix for the sponsorships and daily login reward :)
You should always have at least 4 gears.
