I think it is a well-made exhilarating action racing game.
Especially, the way the UI works and the attention to detail in terms of presentation seems to be particular.
It also has a good sense of speed when accelerating. Please keep up the good work.

This jump action game offers the players a solid experience in a captivating world setting.
Although there are still some need for adjustments such as the controls and a tutorial the game has a lot of potential to improve further.
The storyline, direction and power-up actions make this a game that we can all look forward to in the future.
