March 2025

As a fan of Tribes, I've always loved this movement system, & Defunct provides a great sense of speed with both how slow and how quickly you can move Only major complaint is that I feel like there's too many buttons where things like the broken motor should just always be on as a minimal speed, or magnetism should be automated by a magnet block type & not something the player has to hold

July 2024

This game was amazing, I thought to myself as I was about 50 minutes into playing it. I was thinking about all the future areas to explore and mess around in as I had only just begun playing the game. Only ten minutes later, I finished the game. Everything about this game I love... but its just way too short.

May 2024

If you like going blindingly fast and love the feeling of making a perfect landing after being airborne for 10 seconds, this game is great fun. If you're not a speedrunner, but still enjoy games like Need for Speed, this is worth it even without a sale.

April 2024

Really fun indie I never hear anyone talk about. Super fast based kind-of platformer with unique controls and really satisfying momentum. Takes about an hour to beat if you aren't going for collectibles
