2021-12-29. Failed experiment to find the fun in this pseudo 3D racer. Unsure if it's actually a racing game. Feels like a tech demo that was not finished.

Pros:
- Cool graphics, though the filters, pixel perfect, and UI fail to render pixels properly, leaving text fonts jumbled.

Cons:
- Game has one life. Touch anything, you die. Go off-road, you die. (Sounds like "Retrowave")
- I'm unsure of the goal of this game? Am I racing?
- I was unable to unlock any other levels or play modes.
- UI settings loses focus when to select, so you cannot turn something on then immediately off, to see the difference; you have to refocus the element by moving off of it, then moving back to it
- UI gets unhappy if mouse moves when you're using keys or controller to select

Pros, but actually Cons:
- Pick up the first power-up, and you fly. Wait, unsure if that's a pro, since if you land off-road, you die.
- Pick up power-ups to get more hit points, so you can touch things and not die. This is not really a pro, I mean, why can't you hit the kerb for a moment. Does the game really have to end immediately?
- Pick up power-ups to get more hit points, so you can touch things and not die. Is this racing or Road Blasters or Spy Hunter?
