Space Ribbon - Slipstream to the Extreme
Cool and original game!
It’s like racing on a roller coaster track in space :-)
Single player: Campaign with three speed classes.
Multiplayer: Up to 4 players can play in splitscreen and optionally 1 of the players can play as the paver which creates the track.
Racing
Slipstream:
The core mechanic is using slipstream to boost your speed which makes it possible to catch up and often makes the races very intense close to the finish line.
Side barrier:
Another “mechanic” is the side barrier. STAY away from it as it tends to slow you down a lot. It’s better to ease off on the gas and make a corner than smashing into the side.

For my first Early Access game, this is pretty darn good. Not a bad way to go for $1 during the Steam Summer Sale. There does exist some balancing issues, which can make the game frustrating at times, but overall, it is all I ever hoped for in this game as an Early Access title. It’s a good way to start. Oh, and the demo doesn’t do the game justice. Developer, please remove the demo or update it please!
If you start a race with a mouse/keyboard, it locks you out of the Xinput controls (such as an Xbox 360 or Xbox One controller). It doesn’t allow you to switch on-the-fly or on-demand. You either have to exit the Grand Prix or restart the game to make sure to use the other control scheme. My prefered method of control is a controller, not keyboard/mouse.
