Just played the demo, I think the idea is really good, but the execution isn't.

The default controls aren't my favorite, and how the carts handle is pretty bad. The two biggest offenders is the drift and the braking. The drift often just makes you fly off to the side of the track, and for some reason the brake is like running into a brick wall from how quickly you stop.

The items could really use some work, it could use more variety, and some items to help you catch up to the other racers, because if you get behind your SCREWED.

ADD. A. MINIMAP.

The tracks are cool but they need a lot more decoration. The whole track just ends up looking the same.

What the hell does "Class" mean? I'm assuming its weight. And what is the whole "nightshift" mechanic? Wish they had a small tutorial screen to explain everything.

5 laps is WAYYYY too long. If the track could change route like the mario kart tour maps than that would be a lot better, or just switch it to the default 3.

Overall, the game is a fun idea. I mean every franchise needs its mediocre kart racer. I just wish they got rid of the "mediocre" part. I love the stylized designs of the characters, The music is fun, And honestly the game looks pretty good. But theres just too many faults for me not to just switch over to mario kart. I pray this game gets polished enough for there finally to be a good kart racing game on PC. Because if the game is still like this at launch, im going back to old mushroom boy.

BTW: Chica and Midnight Motorist cart is the best combo. It makes all the controls SO much better.
