Super good. Becomes bland after a while , I wish that they could update this version like the mobile version.

July 2025

A simple, well engineered racing game. Fly your ship, avoid obstacles, and do everything in your power to avoid having the sun set with your ship stopping in its tracks. Bear in mind, it seems that online features (leaderboard, news, etc.) are inoperative, so this is best treated as a single-player game.

Fun endless runner type game with a wonderful soundtrack and some interesting game play. Devs don't really support this game anymore, still is fun though

Dec. 2024

Clean. Aesthetic. Simple w/o being easy. Challenging w/o being Dark Souls. A great game to play while on the phone with your long-winded mother or listening to an audio book. This game is a must-have for my wife and me.

One of my favorite pick up and play games on the Vita. Wonderful memories. So glad it's on Steam too. A perfect portable game once again on the Deck. <3
