This game is disorienting but fun. I got gold medals (or on one a secret Supersonic medal) on everything but 6 up through level 8, though it was hard to figure out where to go at times. Tracks 9 and 10 appeared to be duplicate courses. Main Menu had level 8 and level 7 medals swapped. When I got the midair trick upgrade it became basically unplayable with WASD suddenly rotating the car midair, which happens all the time. Otherwise, audio and graphics were solid.
