Steam review snapshots
The game also plays good on a Steam Deck 🙂 I would skip the Zen mode though.The game controls the ship's speed based on its position within the light & how much charge your battery has when entering…You can break it out for a quick game or two even when you're short of time in your life.Each level features three boons that affect your gameplay, The yellow boon is a speed boost that gives you a massive burst…Why it fits
Check it if you want action, racing filtered by weird, single-player.
