Ads + Glitch
First of all, great game to play, super addictive and fun! Unfortunately, there were a couple things that prevented it from a 5 star rating. For one, there are way too many advertisements, and they would sometimes affect gameplay. For example, you would see an ad when you enter the game. You close it out, and you start a race. A few seconds later, an ad pops up and forces you to stop racing, resulting in a loss. This can be very frustrating and I believe it should be fixed. Secondly, the glitch I mentioned isn’t actually a glitch, just a mistake in programming. Sometimes, when you earn enough coins to advance to another thousand, it will give you another thousand coins you didn’t earn. In one instance I experienced, I started off with 1,400 coins. I then earned 800 more, which should have resulted in 2,200 coins. However, the total came to 3,200. (1,000 more than expected) I hope that these two issues get fixed in the future. Despite the problems, it is a great game!
My favorite!
I love this app. It is so fun and a great way to past time. My only complaints are that it’s difficult to control the boat in air, and how you always start in 25th. Secondly, why do you have to be in first to unlock the next level? I say 3rd, 2nd and 1st places unlock the next level. And, it’s rather difficult to collect gems for new boats. Perhaps a wheel spin, or something that you’re able to get gems easier than missions. Also, I think once you complete a mission, it should restart within the hour. I hate waiting a day for new missions. The Flip Boost isn’t very noticeable in change. Also, I think you should add quadruple flips, and more Lucky Finds. But other than all of that, I love this app and can’t wait for more updates to come, I’m on level 75 and I’m still in love. Thanks for making an amazing game!
I am very upset
For the time that I have been playing this game, I have felt it was an overall pretty good game, sure that adds were a little annoying, but they weren’t enough of a problem to affect my playing experience. But recently I have found something that made me very upset and feel a little bit scammed. There is this mode where you can play one on one with the computer and if you beat the computer 30 times, you win a crocodile avatar. But the thing is, when playing against the computer you play the crocodile, and while playing one of the features of the avatar seems to be that it can run right through all of the obstacles in the race. It may just me but, I assumed if I won the amount of times I had to, I would get the crocodile with that feature. I had just finished the 30 wins today, and I realized that it wasn’t going through the obstacles, but rather bumping in to them like any other avatar, I felt cheated. I spent my gems, time and effort on trying to win this avatar and it didn’t even have the feature I was actually playing for, and sure it looked cool, but I would not have spent all of the time I did on this game if I had known i would only be getting the appearance. But how could I have possibly known that, if the game made it look like what I was playing against, I would get.
GREAT, but would love improvements
I have nearly 1400 wins so obviously I love this game, however, I would like to suggest some improvements. 1) It doesn’t take long before the Flip Boosts you’re collecting coins to upgrade effectively tops out. I don’t doubt that you technically are adding speed to your boost, but it’s nearly impossible to tell. Plus nothing else changes - you don’t get any higher or spin faster, either. After only a few levels it’s no longer relevant to collect coins. I’ve played other games that give you a LOT of ways to spend your coins, and often it’s too cluttered and confusing, but another couple of attributes would be nice. 2) Because I want to succeed, or need a certain outcome, I’m restricted to only a few specialized boats. Magneto, the Ducky, and the boost unicorn, for example. There are all those other super cool boats (that may even feel better to play) that I’m almost forced to ignore. How about earning/buying the upgrade itself and be allowed to assign it to whatever boat you want to use? (Maybe only one attribute at a time - no stacking) Just some thoughts. Thanks for the great game!
Fun game!
This is a very appealing app! Some things couldn’t be better but overall it’s a fun app. Some of the things I would love to see improve would be the different types of boats that you can earn. They are WAY to hard to get and need some updates on the styles of boats. Also, I’m not saying that it’s a boring game, however, it’s the same thing over and over again. My advice to you is to create different levels or challenges to make the game more suspenseful! This game also wastes a lot of battery. Otherwise, your app is pretty fun! I do enjoy how fast the boats go because it makes the game hard. Some other things that make this app hard but achievable would be how when you turn the boat it turns very quickly! This makes the game harder. Also, all the obstacles, waves and flips make the game so much more interesting! Lastly, sometimes adds get on my nerves when playing other games, but most of your adds are EXTREMELY quick and appealing! Even though this app has some faults, all the small details of this game make this a really fun app!
Non appearing objects
When i was playing the game a few minutes ago and a while ago.. when you are racing you would get caught behind something that you couldn’t see. Just a few minutes ago i was passing an A.I that was not moving behind something that someone couldn’t see, and just yesterday i had that same experience. I got stopped by something i couldn’t see, so the game just put me somewhere else so i could finish the race. Next and finally in the fantasy races i have been more frustrated than ever. I am still on the croc and i don’t know if it gets worse and worse but i do not think it is fair to be able to shoot object why jumping a wave. I have been very upset because the crocodile have shot an object at me in a mid flip and i have been effect and by boat has turned over and i would fail to complete the jump. Even though these are problems that i have encountered this game is a great game. I think the game is amazing and will test someone’s patience but it is very addictive.
Gets you frustrated
This game is good and all but.. I’m just done with the adds popping up in the middle of the game. I was annoyed with it and I just came back from exactly THAT happening when I was right behind the A.I bot in 1st place while flipping. An add came up and I clicked the x in the top right corner but that caused me to fail the flip. Another annoying thing about this game is that you have to be in first place to get onto a new track. Why not in the 1st-4th range? It’s very irritating, especially when you get tired of trying to get first place just to get onto a new track. Neither does the game have an actual level count, so you can’t go back to a different level you played. I don’t see the point in the coins too... after a while you will notice that when you keep charging for the flip boost, there is no difference in it. So what’s the point in trying to collect coins anymore? And the boats.. the boats, I was expecting them to have a better boost than the one before, but they are all the same! The A.I players are much faster than the boat you use, and are able to flip you over when you can’t flip them over! The game has so much more little errors that screw up the game I can’t even count! Overall, the game is not that good as it looks, with all those adds of this game on my screen looking so fun to play, I was convinced it would be decent, but no
Can’t Win The Duels After 24...
I like the game. I win pretty consistently on the “normal” races. I thought that when they came up with the duels, that looked pretty fun. Why did they pick that you had to win 30 times to get the Croc? That’s a weird number. Wouldn’t 25 have been more “normal”? Another thing with the duels. I’ve won 24 times. Now I can’t win at all. The Croc throws these urns at you when you are jumping & it totally knocks you off the water track so far that it is impossible to land back in the water. It is also now extremely accurate with the urns so that when it throws them at me, it ALWAYS hits me causing my boat to stop. The Croc is so fast now that I can barely overtake it and if I’m winning near the end of the race, it zips past me so fast that there is no way to win. It goes by so fast that I might as well have not been moving. My boost is at 730%, so you would think that it wouldn’t be that much faster than I am. I haven’t been able to beat the Croc in a couple of days & that’s with me putting all my gems into buying more gas cans. I have even tried using different boats, but in all honesty all the boats react exactly the same so it doesn’t make a difference. The normal races are fun. The duels after a certain point can’t be won.
Overall good but…
I love this game and it’s a Time consumer and it’s fun to do. There are just a few things I have issues with. The first one is the flip boost. When you get flip boost, it makes you go faster, but when go faster ands flip, you automatically die. This makes no sense and i think it should get fixed. You would think that the flip boost should only work while riding on water, not in the air. But it works on both. And it annoying. The other thing is the controlling. Now the controlling definitely needs to be worked on because when you are n the air heading for land while flipping, when you try to turn, you still flip. And that makes you sink. So I suggest that when I am trying to turn, you make me stop flipping and go straight. Then once I’m done flipping, make me go back to Normal. Another thing is to make the controlling more percice. When I was driving or flipping, I would try to turn a little, and it would make me go across the whole ocean. Please fix this so this game can stay fun and awesome! These were just some things I flung bugging and if you could fix them, that’d be great - Peebzprincess reviews❤️💚🧡💙💜💛🖤🤎🤍💖
Good games but...
The good news is that the developers create fun and entertaining games. I don’t deny that. But, and this is coming from someone who knows about Admob and other PPC integration, is it really necessary to have a pop-up ad each and every single race or episode? Sure, you guys (and gals) need financial compensation. I get it. But to annoy your customers with ads after every race is overkill. With this many ads in the game, you’ll more than likely lose money rather than make a substantial profit in the long run. And trying to force your customers to remove ads by having them appear every 15 seconds is bad for business, regardless of the business you’re in. I mean, think about it...would you watch tv if a commercial interrupted your program every 15 seconds? Hell no. Likewise, there is nothing wrong with having ads integrated in your games so long as that they don’t appear so often that they drive away your customers. Other than that, you do make great and entertaining games suitable for all ages.
i’m literally so mad
look yall i got this app and it was SOOO fun for the first few MONTHS. it was my go to game and i loved it. but i PAID for several things on the app, (to remove adds and for a new boat)i believe that the app had a glitch in it. there’s 5 free gems that you can get every 3 hours. but i noticed that on mine the timer stopped. sure enough i pressed on the button to get my gems and it still said that i could get 5 more i was confused because it’s only supposed to give you 5 gems every three hours. i pressed it again and it gave me 5 more. i started pressing it over and over and it gave me over 1,000 gems. i was excited to get so much free gems but when i left to go race some more, my screen was frozen. i closed out the app and tried again. it was still a frozen screen. i was getting disappointed at this point. i shut my phone off like power off, turned it back on and went back to the app. the app opened. but to my HUGE disappointment all of my gems and coins were lost. there were adds on the game (which i had paid MY OWN money to get rid of!) then looking on all of my boats... i had lost every single boat that i had ever bought and paid for. all my progress was lost and i couldn’t be more disappointed with this. can anyone tell me how to get my money back?!?? i’m👏losing👏it👏👏👏.
excessive ads, fun game
I love the game but you get a 30 second ad after every single game. Each game is only about 10-30 seconds long, depending on how long you survive. So over half of the time spent playing this game is watching ads. And the only way to prevent ads is to spend $3. Who the heck is going to spend $3 to remove ads on one app that they aren't going to ever think about after one month? Imagine spending $3 on every game you downloaded. Apple needs regulation on the amount of ads and ad length on their apps because otherwise no one is going to play these games. I don't want to sound mean, I think Ketchapp does a great job on their games with excellent design and fun, unique games. It's just really hard to enjoy a game when you are constantly watching ads. I know you need to have ads to make money, so that you can pay your employees, so that you can continue to make these apps, but maybe cut back a little bit? Or maybe just have like one 30 second ad after 5 games instead of one after every single game? Thank you for reading and I hope you take this into consideration. :) You really do a good job and I enjoy your games, the ads are just a bit excessive.
You reach a point in the game where it’s pointless
I loved this game at first. And it was supper fun and addictive for the first week or so but soon noticed something. In the game you earn both coins and diamonds. Diamonds are used to buy new boats and coins are used to buy a faster “ boost “ and increase your coin value. I’ve been playing for an while and I can say for sure after a point in time their is no difference in your boost speed. No matter how many coins I get and how many upgrades I do to my boost speed their is not a change after a difference. So the only thing left to spend my coins are is upgrading the coin value. So I upgrading the coin value to collect more coins to buy what?... just more coin value. Furthermore the different boats you can buy have no performance difference. They just look different. It would be nice if they looked and performed different. I want to play the game more because I had so much fun when I was upgrading the boost and getting new boats. But it’s kinda POINTLESS now. For a game that advertises so much, and by a company that makes so many games; you would think they would develop a better game that continues past the first week or so of you playing it.
Not happy.
For starters, the game is awfully repetitive. Eventually, you stop getting new tracks and end up repeating the same 5 tracks over and over. The boats are all for looks — they don’t give you any special features that will help you win the races. I ended up saving two million coins because realistically the power ups don’t help either, so the coins are a waste and I didn’t need them for anything. If you’re looking for a game that will challenge you and keep you interested, then this is not the one for you. I only kept this game on my phone because it was something to absentmindedly do when I was bored or anxious. It became so easy that I could zone out throughout a whole race and still get first. My final complaint is that a week ago I opened the app and all of my progress was deleted. I had almost every single boat, one thousand gems, and millions of coins. To be put back on level one with zero coins, gems, and only one boat was annoying and was my final straw to delete the game. Don’t download this, it’s a waste of time and you’ll spend most of your time on the game watching ads than you will actually playing anything.
