*2022-08-16, version 1.0.2*

操作に慣れて、だんだん1位が獲れるようになってくると面白くなってきます！
次第に車とコースが開放されていくのも楽しみ。

### 3/5 — 続けようとは思えない。

*2022-08-13, version 1.0.2*

モバイル向けのフリーゲームとしては、それなりに良くできている挙動ではあると思う。個人的な好みの話をすると、この手の挙動でありながらバンパーないしボンネット視点が存在しないことにはちょっとモヤモヤする。三人称視点はやたらと多いのに。フリーゲームなら許容範囲の話ではあるが。
そのを踏まえた上で、このゲームは正直あんまり楽しくなかった。その原因は「自動生成のコースしかない」点にあると思う。
なるほど確かに最初の30分は「おお、次々と目新しいコースが」ともなるが、それ以降、慣れてくるとこの特徴は裏目に出まくる。
自分は毎回見たこともないコースを初見で走らされるのに、AIはそれを難なくクリアしていく。こちらがコースに慣れる頃にはレースは中盤を越しており、このゲームのバランス的にそこからの逆転はなかなか難しい。故に、どれだけ挙動に慣れても負ける時は普通に負けてしまう。コースのせいで。
故になかなか上達を実感できない。TAが事実上不可能であることもそれに拍車をかけている。だからいつまでもどかしく、どこか虚しい。
SNS上でのプロモーションは日頃拝見させていただいていたので期待していたのだが、本作は結構がっかりな感が強かった。
