Our analysis

A 2D sci-fi racer with light RPG progression set largely on Mars, carried by a wonderful world, gorgeous forced-perspective scenes, a great soundtrack, and enjoyable side jobs and bike-upgrading minigames. The core racing is the weak point, feeling stale and grindy with repeated tracks, unsatisfying handling, and trivial difficulty, plus illegal activities that carry no real risk. Minor bugs with controls dropping out mid-race and music needing restarts hold it back.
