Addictive, cute and funny. Really!
I had no idea what this game would be like. Story-wise, I thought it would be a game devoid of any mystery or emotion, with no dialogues at all and probably some cyberpunk setting. Gameplay-wise I was expecting some top-down racing game that would get old quickly.
Boy, was I wrong.
First of all, the game presents you with a mysterious setting and even more mysterious characters: you are a "data wing" who must deliver some data packages inside some terminal under the supervision of AI who is obsessed with feeling human emotions and behaving like a real person while treating you like a dimwit (it's hilarious, believe me). Then, along the way you catch a glimpse of who the "user" is, and meet another quirky AI as well. Shenanigans ensue. It really got me hooked to the point
where I would constantly wonder what would happen next.
Regarding the gameplay, it's fairly simple: turn right or left (okay, so you can also brake, but I have never used it so far). The game shines, however, in how much variety they put into each level. Some levels can be a race against the clock, others are a race against AI, while in other levels you only need to find the exit. Sounds simple, but it gets trickier with each subsequent level, as the developers keep adding new hazards that will make it harder for you to fulfill your package-delivering duties.
The thing about the game is that it's so elegantly simple that you will always think "I'm pretty sure I can that lap faster" and waste 20 minutes trying to get a perfect drift in every turn of the level. Of course, it's pretty satisfying once you achieve it.
In general, I recommend this game. Play it for the laughs, stay for the trippy races. Oh, and the soundtrack is pretty sick, too.
