Campaign and Mechanics
Players control a custom character named Shade from Gathleon. The protagonist competes to defeat a rival named Kestar Bool. The gameplay uses round-based racing across multiple planets.
Randomized encounters and vehicle upgrades shape each run. The driving model features two distinct types of boost known as afterburner and ramjet. Gordy Haab composed the musical score for the release.
Progression System
Failing a run sends the player back to the start of the tour. Racers retain certain permanent rewards and cash earned during previous attempts.
