At its core, the game feels like a platformer, except you control a hoverbike instead of a character. Rather than using separate throttle and brake inputs, you simply push forward or backward and use the camera stick on a gamepad or the mouse to steer. You also have a jump that can be chained into a double jump or used for a short glide, along with a dash ability. Jumping instantly recharges when you touch the ground, while the dash has a slightly longer cooldown. There is also a boost ability, but it only works inside special tubes that take control of the hoverbike and guide it along a set path as long as you hold the boost button. A similar mechanic appears in bubbles, where pressing the boost button pulls you toward the center and another button pushes you away. It can be tricky at first, and pressing the wrong button can easily ruin your time, but it becomes more intuitive after a few races. Instead of selecting races and events from a menu, the game features an open world divided into four distinct areas. You can teleport to any unlocked race, but progressing to the next area requires completing a certain number of races and events in the current one. The requirements are …

If you’re even remotely into drum and bass, this game is an absolute treat. Tight breakbeats, rolling basslines, and perfectly timed drops sync beautifully with the gameplay. As a DnB fan, I found myself replaying levels just to vibe with the music again. It feels like the developers truly understand the genre and built the game around its rhythm. Gameplay-wise, everything runs incredibly smooth. Controls are responsive, animations are clean, and there’s no frustrating lag or clunky movement. It’s easy to pick up and immediately have fun. Where the game really shines is in its time-based challenges. Getting through a level is one thing — mastering it is another. The mechanics demand precision, tight timing, and real skill if you’re aiming for the best times. Small mistakes cost you, and optimizing your route becomes almost addictive. It creates that perfect “just one more run” feeling. Overall, it’s a fantastic mix of slick performance and addictive gameplay. If you love fast beats and fast reflexes, this game absolutely delivers.

I wish more people knew of this game. It may not be large or visually complex, but it is very smooth and there isn't enough vehicle parkour racing out there. I think what shines the most is the level design. There are tons of paths all over the place, so while any given race will have some key points you need to visit, the exact how (or sometimes even the order) is entirely up to you. In most games that wouldn't mean much, because there would be some obviously optimal path. But because of how relatively minimalistic this game is the optimal path is not obvious, and what's great is that a lot of these alternate paths can seem equally valid. On one of the challenge maps I was able to steal the #1 time by taking a completely different route that only met with the previous top score at the start and finishline. And even if it is then there can be micro-optimizations with the various flinging mechanisms the maps have. If you like racing and/or platforming, and don't mind the simple visuals (and potentially repetitive music if you play too long) then this is one of those underplayed Steam gems

Awesome game! The mechanics and gameplay are excellent. Cool, fun racing game!

very satisfying racing game!

10/10 great sense of speed, addicting level design and a cool artstyle. This is a great racing platformer game and I cant recommend it enough. The movement feels great and the magnets make it very satisfying to keep the moment up. Gamepad controls are good but I felt more percise with keyboard and mouse. I really recommend giving this one a go. It feels so rewarding when you finally beat your friends on the leaderboard.
