This is suprisingly a fun game to play and master. The menu controls are a bit clunky (better don't use the mouse, only arrows and Enter and it will work fine) and there is a bug which glues you sideways to the wall if you crash too hard. This rarely happens though and you can usually just reverse a bit and be on your way. Hidden gem, needs some polishing here and there though. I hope more people will give it a chance.
