Reception

A reviewer for Next Generation praised the use of "trickery" against racing opponents but criticized the track design, and concluded that "this is good kiddy gaming, and no more." He gave it two out of five stars.[4]

gollark: Just irradiate them utterly.
gollark: Unless the intention is that you would eventually end up with adaptations to being hotter.
gollark: You would just get back to where you started though.
gollark: How would that help? You would just get hotter.
gollark: You would probably have to swap out a bunch of important proteins to make everything work. Which would be hard, as lots of them are probably ridiculously optimized for their current function.
