It's 48 hours since Little Rocket Lab launched, we've been top of New and Trending for the entire time, 94% rating on Steam, huge player numbers, big numbers on Game Pass, tons of streams and YT videos...

and we've still received next to no press at all

The press for smaller games is just dead.

short version: even though a light source is getting larger in screen space, the flare does not necessarily scale up in screen space as well

The Dasher of the Dead, The Fast Foe, The Greatest Racer in the Galaxy, THE Spooky Speedster! However you know them, can you claim the title from this Taunting Traversing Trickster? Or will you surrender your own as “Koopa the Quick”…

Claim your stars, or get shown who is boss!

Bright white clouds against bright white clouds, except with extremely dark lines around the clouds that look like Matt lines as a result of bad composite
