The player's languages are well diversified, with 13 different languages appearing in the reviews.

Time Played
This chart displays the time played in Race.a.bit, comparing positive and negative reviews. The time in game is acceptable, with 7 hours in the 80th percentile.
The median play time for the negative reviews is 1.8 times less than the median for positive reviews. A low negative review time (median : 132 minutes) can mean that the game crashes on some systems or that the type of gameplay was not completely clear to the players (Is the game unmistakably explained on the Steam Store ?). It is also possible that players were otherwise displeased by Race.a.bit and decided to review it and get a refund under 2 hours. The Players' feedback section might give some insight about that.
