“A fun physics sandbox. The developers did a poor job balancing the "campaign", and the soundtrack's not my thing, but at the very least the mod levels were fun and the mechanics are fairly simple to ease into.”
“great game maybe needs some collabs such as red bull,fox'rockshox or some real bike brands like giant,cannondale,santa cruz, canyon,gt,pivot,etc,etc,etc,etc. great graphics fun to play, easy to learn and plenty of maps.”

“still have yet to actually fix stuff gameplay wise.”
“It's fun! Very unique mechaniques, roguelike, very re-playable. If I have unlocked most of the stuff I will probably also try the next Descenders game. Too bad the Linux native version did crash. But runs really smooth…”
“bad i could not move at high speeds and done a challenge and it said i did not complete it”
