It's fast and frantic and seems very polished. The presentation of it is highly stylized and actually reminds me some of Hotline Miami 2 with all of the effects and motion on screen.

Liked how addictive it was and that I couldn't stop playing until I was the last car standing. Although when I did when the game closed by itself. Liked the graphics and thought they worked well in setting the hectic atmosphere."},{"author_name":"rogberth","author_uid":"8913","time":"Apr 20, 2015 @ 1:53pm","epoch":1429537680,"text":"Great game!!!

I love the style of the art, the sound, and the menus\/title text.  It really has an identity and it fits with the fast wrecking theme of the gameplay.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>I had fun blasting around in the car, and getting run over and smashed.  The action is a little on the frantic side so it's hard to track and think about but it was still fun.  I wish the car drifted just slightly.  It was fun to boost around and the difficulty was about right for the size of the game because I played about 8 times and learned the ropes and then won.  The game thought I was all done but I did come back for a little more.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Also, I found a weird bug.  You can reproduce it like this:\r<br\/>- Start game, play once and lose.  When instructed, press R.\r<br\/>- On the &quot;You are a guy&quot; screen, instead of pressing space to play, press R.  Notice it plays a sound and makes the text leap but keeps you on the screen, this is fine.\r<br\/>- Because you like watching the text dance and hearing the crazy sound, press r about fifty times as fast as you can. Use multiple fingers on the key and play it like drums! \r<br\/>- Now press space to play\r<br\/>\r<br\/>BUG: When you play now, the white flashes will not be tiny split second effect any more.  Now they will last much longer and dominate the experience by blinding you for most of the game.  So weird!"},{"author_name":"rubna","author_uid":"14711","time":"Apr 21, 2015 @ 3:54pm","epoch":1429631340,"text":"fun!! i like that you have to get into your car first and that you can still walk around if you lose and that the cars have eyes like in cars. playing this against your friends with some xbox controllers would be ace!"},{"author_name":"mockthebear","author_uid":"16447","time":"Apr 21, 2015 @ 4:23pm","epoch":1429633080,"text":"You should say how to enter in the car as you say &quot;r&quot; to restart :p\r<br\/>also very hard game and fun XD"},{"author_name":"eott","author_uid":"40748","time":"Apr 21, 2015 @ 4:24pm","epoch":1429633140,"text":"Aaahh, what's happening?!

The first time I played it I was very confused and wasn't sure what to do and why I died. The cool polished effects got me hooked though. The second time I understood what was happening and that made it super fun. The car controls are very satisfying and killing other people with your car is as well. I think it would have been nice to have some deeper strategy in the game so that there's more of a way to get really good at the game."},{"author_name":"nihilocrat","author_uid":"2014","time":"Apr 26, 2015 @ 4:32am","epoch":1430022420,"text":"really juicy!"},{"author_name":"OddballDave","author_uid":"11892","time":"Apr 26, 2015 @ 3:17pm","epoch":1430061120,"text":"This is manic.
