« Fun, but has been in early access longer than I think is fair. Will maybe change opinion upon release. »👎 anonymous review · 1 h played1« No major updates since early access release »👎 anonymous review · 4 h played« Was really looking forward to this game unfortunately the developer seem to have abandoned it? I'm not sure it's been dead for a good while, I haven't seen any news posts or any form of updates, extremely disappointing :/ »👎 anonymous review · 5 h played« Cool art style, but not worth the $20. Not much more fun to be had over the demo, and updates seem slow. Will pick it up again when it is a finished game. »👎 anonymous review · 0 h played« I'm assuming the dev abandoned the game, because there's been no news or updates. It's unfortunate because the game is really fun for what is has, but definitely not worth the current price. »👎 anonymous review · 2 h played« Trop bien, pour ceux qui on dosés F-Zero X !!! »👍 anonymous review · 2 h played
