I played this game today and I found some bugs/issues I want to share with you guys:
- The game is overall very laggy. Although I have a pc with good specs (3060TI + Ryzen 7 7700) I wasn't able to play this with more than 40 fps when in the city (max 60 fps in the sewer you start at). This makes the game very hard, especially when you need to fight 'The Gang'.
- I had this bug where I couldn't continue after using the dodge left/right. Starting a new save file resolved this for me.
- You can fly through a wooden barrier in the city (I didn't mind the shortcut, but I don't think it was intentional ;))
- I couldn't see where I was going inside the sewer. I don't know if it was the texture of the light and the flare they have when you fly close to them or if the sewer is just too dark.
I somehow did enjoy playing the game, it was fun, I just think it was a bit too early to release it even in early access. I hope my feedback was helpfull and you guys keep working on the game. :)

Positives:
+ Good idea
+ Nice The Fifth Element feeling
+ Ok handling
+ Nice futuristic city
+ Ok sense of speed
+ Good graphics
+ Ok sounds and music
+ Tuk tuks
+ Its free
Negatives:
- Bugs
- Optimization and serious framerate issues (must set everything to low in graphics settings to run smoothly)
- When setting the game to run smoothly it looks like cr*p
- Achievements are broken
- Enemies are underwhelming
- Extremely short (missions are over in 15 minutes)
If they fixed the framerate issues, the achievements and got a lot more missions, this could have been a good game.
As it is for now, its okay. Nothing more.
Total Score: 6/10

The core gameplay of flying around on a hover bike is very fun. I also liked the setting a lot, and I think the details of the environment were very well done. Good job!

Great proof of concept for an action/racing game. Reminds me of the flying from Jak 2. Needs tidying up in places (optimisation for lag etc.) but I'd love to see more!

Beautiful game, with an intriguing dark scenario and atmospheric, dense graphics. I also like the background music and, last but not least, flying is a lot of fun here.
But it has some problems: Performance (fps) sometimes drops very low with many moving objects and fast movements. Most of the actors voices do sound somehow uninspired. Imperfections like: It does not matter with how many of the flying cabs you collide with and let them explode, you can even shoot them down in masses: no police will come and you will never take any damage. That's too unrealistic.
Last but not least, after less than 1 hour of fun and exploration I am stuck at the part where I have to destroy 7 fuse boxes within an extremely short time. I manage 3 at most.

You know for a free game it was pretty entertaining. Definitely worth the 20 minutes it took to complete. I had fun.
