We thought it would be easy to teach you all the mechanics just by playing the game, but we realize that's a lot to expect while driving at full speed through a gigantic rift! We have overhauled the current tutorial and added text boxes and flashy images to explain everything. We hope this does the job — if not, join our Discord server and let us know why. We love the feedback you're giving us, and we love implementing your ideas.[/p][p][/p][p]Oh, and we've also updated some other things in the game.[/p][p][/p][h2]New Features[/h2]

[h2]Our First Ever Gameplay Video is Here![/h2][p]We just recorded our very first gameplay video where we tested our own game as if we were playing it for the very first time. Along the way, we explain the core mechanics, talk about all the features, and show off what makes our roguelite racer unique.[/p][p]Just two days ago, we released a brand-new update - and this video includes a showcase of the fresh features it brings. We also jump into a few runs to really put the game (and ourselves) to the test![/p][p]We’re super excited to share more gameplay with you in the future. This is our first gameplay video ever, so… enjoy - and please don’t be too harsh on us!
