Really cool little puzzle game.
Loved the vibe and aesthetic of this game; the electronic music and sci-fi HUD were great 👌
The puzzles were mostly quite easy but they did require a bit more thinking towards the end, but the various mechanics it introduced throughout like time travel and wormholes made it super fun to figure out 😄
If someone wants a cool puzzle game they can complete in under an hour, have a go at this one 😃

Gameplay/Controls
Very good, drifting feels great. However perhaps a little "over-polished" as Lakitu prevents a lot of good jank; something Mario Kart Wii would've let slide. Booster Course Pass re-implements a bit of it into the game though.
I've heard some say 200cc is bad due to tracks not being made with it in mind, I disagree and think it's a great way to make the game more challenging.
Visuals/Style
The base game tracks look phenomenal. You forget it's a Wii U port. How did they do it? And the Booster Course Pass is a mobile game port so go figure (bad).
Music
Again, fantastic. The live music is awesome to listen to, and 75% of my excitement when waiting to hear which old track was getting included in the DLC was unironically because of getting to hear its music remastered.
Online
Is good. The last update added room codes so it got even easier. Only thing I can think to comment is I wish you could select a track from the full list instead of a random roulette of courses. Sometimes I feel the same 3 tracks appear too often.
Conclusion
Save for my nostalgia for Mario Kart Wii, this is probably the peak of Mario Kart at the moment in terms of content, gameplay, music... almost everything. Just a little over-polished and I think it misses a bit of the fun jank from previous entries.
There's no point recommending this game, if you own a Switch there's an 80% chance you have this game ¯\(ツ)/¯

That one game I played for an accumulative 5 minutes when it was big.
Just checked, this game is still online goddamn.

Played this on an Atari 10-in-1 as a kid.
Genuinely used to frighten me this game, getting chased by thoseducks dragons. Couldn't complete complete Level 2 or 3 because those dark rooms got a nope from me.

Looks prettier. When it had the play music from YouTube feature this game was a great improvement, but since it was removed I just find myself playing the first one out of nostalgia. This one does have a couple more fun modes though.
2009
Was thinking of repurchasing this out of nostalgia. But never mind. Turns out they've pulled this from all app stores just today. Sad.
They rather people played the free-to-play, mtx filled current games. Once again, mobile gaming was much better 11+ years ago.

The actual last piece of Portal media we'll ever get. Sadge.
Very cool to see the unused story from Portal 2 get realised though.

An online collectible card game based on Doctor Who seems like a really cool idea. Sadly it's tainted by blockchain NFT garbage.
The official website sells "Founders Tokens" for £1,000 each and the marketplace has cards going for £8,000. Wtf is this.
No wonder I never see any online DW accounts advertise this game, it might be in its Alpha/Beta but it's a horrific situation to look at.
I can't really review anything else as it's still being made, although 2 years of development and it's as lifeless and cheap-looking for a trading card game as it is. I dunno chief.
