The graphics and animations are really nice, and it's always nice to see another game bringing back split-screen gaming! Unfortunately the direction of the race was a bit confusing, but in a strange way that added to the chaotic fun! Keep up the good work - I look forward to seeing more of your projects!"},{"author_name":"Scipio Xaos","author_uid":"7742","time":"Dec 15, 2015 @ 9:09pm","epoch":1450213440,"text":"Yea... the 1080p rendering sucked on my computer. Made the game very laggy. Also, rendering in views of other players when playing singleplayer (i.e. by yourself) added a lot of unnecessary lag for an older computer like mine.\r\rOther than that it was pretty cool."},{"author_name":"NoWandStudios","author_uid":"50652","time":"Dec 16, 2015 @ 1:06pm","epoch":1450270860,"text":"So original.
