Terry wants to launch himself into space using his new car. Doing something this cool and reckless will surely make him the talk of the town. Run, drive and glide through this small journey of big discoveries as Terry works towards achieving this goal.
Players can freely traverse the town of Sprankelwater, running, driving, and even paragliding through its intricately designed streets and alleyways. The open-world design encourages players to discover new areas and secrets at their own pace, with no set objectives or time constraints.
Throughout the town, players will encounter a cast of quirky NPCs who offer various tasks and quests. Reviewers consistently praise the game's writing and dialogue, which delivers a steady stream of humorous exchanges and unexpected scenarios as players fulfill these requests in exchange for valuable "Turbo Junk" upgrades.
Collecting Turbo Junk, hats, bugs, and other items scattered across the environment is central to progression. Players describe this collectathon as highly addictive, with a genuine sense of satisfaction upon uncovering more of the world and upgrading Terry's car to reach new heights, both figuratively and literally.
Commandeering vehicles, including Terry's own car, players can traverse the town through smooth, weighty driving controls. The game encourages reckless stunts and maneuvers, such as ramming into pedestrians or destroying cars, adding to the overall chaotic and goofy nature of the experience.
In addition to open-world exploration, the game incorporates platforming elements, tasking players with navigating through the environment and accessing new areas. Reviewers report that the traversal, including the ability to unlock a paraglider, feels consistently smooth and enhances the overall sense of freedom.
Beyond the core open-world and collectathon, the game offers a diverse selection of side activities and minigames, such as digging holes, catching insects, and engaging in sports-themed challenges. These supplementary experiences further contribute to the game's whimsical charm and replayability.
