Makes with the working
V-
- Not only does everything work OOTB it manages a steady 90+ FERPS at the 4K’s.

Shiny / Sounds
V-
- It’s a good looking game. A lot of work went into the background of each level.
- All of the playable characters look equally batshit insane.
- Everyone has three (or so) verbal taunts and that is entertaining …for about three seconds.
- Mix all that in with, shall we say “memorable” background music and you end up with something that’s a little bit of alright in the SS dept.
J-
- The voice work, what little there was, was ok
- I wasn’t really paying attention to the music because I was too focused on getting a good time
- Yeah, the backgrounds are pretty genius. Good on them for that.
P-
- It looks great!
- The background music got noped, so minus 1 chair.

Control
V-
- Hope you like the default layout because it’s 2015 and re-mappable controls are BECAUSE FK, YOU! THAT’S WHY!
- I would cut RageSquid some slack if the layout made the slightest bit of sense.
- It’s spray-and-pray, at best.
- However, once you wrap your brain-organ around the default madness, you will find the button mashing responsive.
- At the end of the day RageSquid released a 2.5D arcade racer with static controls ..and that boggles my mind.
J-
- Do not, and I repeat do not, put you reset level button right next to your jump button or you’re gonna have a bad time
- I’m not the guy who usually brings this up, but this game seriously needs the ability to remap controls. Desperately even
P-
- It’s 2015 and you’re shipping a game without the ability to rebind controls.
- I get that, considering how the UI is laid out, you’re targeting consoles.
- I get that!
- But SteamOS doesn’t exactly come with standard controller.
- Let people reassign their buttons!

FUN
V-
- Some of you might wonder why I invested eight hours into a game with busted controls.
- Simple, multiplayer is FKN amazeballs.
- It’s 2.5D TrackMania and I couldn’t be happier with it.
- Simple to learn impossible to master.
- I was going to give it three chairs but I had a moment the other night on one of the Disco levels.
- I was placing 2’nd or 3’rd until I managed a near perfect run, beating everyone by a full two seconds.
- This resulted in me (a grown arse man) standing up and screaming “FK alls yall!”
J-
- I never really had much expectation for this game going in
- However, it really does suck you in
- Like venn said, very much an easy to learn hard to master game
- It’s really well designed, it’s fun, go buy it!
P-
- It tickles that side of my brain that wants to be the best.
- I managed to beat Venn on just about every level I played.
- Couldn’t for the life of me beat Sandy’s time on the first level , though.
- As fun as it is, I can’t give it 4 chairs because it simply doesn’t allow people to rebind controls.
