Awesome beta version
This game is so much fun. I find myself just playing race after race after race. It will be epically cool when it’s finished, because as it is now, it’s a total beta test version. The limitations: - there’s basically no way to lose a race. The AI will always wait for you to catch up - really needs some PvP, but the gameplay might need to be a little less brutal first. If you screw up and start flipping backwards, in a PvP game you would likely be totally screwed. - needs a bit of vehicle balancing. I’ve found that one vehicle handles all courses better than all the others, no matter how much you practice on them. Would be cool if some vehicles were just a bad choice on certain terrain. - could use some fun events. There’s a world tour, but again, it’s just against the AI and they let you win. All in all, awesome game play, just needs to be finished. I gave it 5 stars cause I’m guessing there will be more functionality coming “down the road”. Ok, that was totally punny.
Fun for relaxing
Fun game for just relaxing. Was giving up 3x, as I had nothing to buy, now the latest update gives much more... probably passed on 20k gems, which I’ll have to earn again. Fun to chill with. One recent update did cause problems, hanging at the end of every level, however they fixed it real quick and there was never any gems lost. Seemed to happen once passing level 150. Still enjoying. Can’t wait for the next major update and more stuff to buy.
Need more challenges
Game is super fun but once you complete everything it’s just pretty much the same race over and over and over. Please add more
Fun, but limited and gets boring.
I’ve been hooked on this for a few days, but now there’s nothing else to do. I got all 8 levels of the champion (wish there was more). I unlocked all the vehicles, upgrades, paint/wheels/flags and now there’s nothing left to spend money on. I’m on level 103 and I think I’m going to uninstall. The levels are all the same, plus the fact that it’s impossible to lose on them takes the fun away. It was good while it lasted I guess.
So many ads
Easy simple game that allows to kill some time. Requires some skill but nothing too advanced. The problem is with the ads, it gives you an option to watch an ad for additional coins at the end of the race, but if you select no, it still forces you to watch an ad. I would understand every 5 or so races to force an ad but every single race is too much.
Good game but gets boring
Really fun game at first, but eventually becomes repetitive. Not worth it to spend money on the game because as other people have said, you can get all the upgrades and even accessories really quick. Would be really cool if you could race other players online or buy parts to upgrade your vehicle instead of just buying tires and stuff for the aesthetic.
You can’t loose
This game is okay and somewhat fun to play but it won’t make you keep coming back to it. You climb the same hill over and over and the NPC’s can’t beat you even if you just sit there for a few minutes. They always get stuck somewhere before the finish line so you have no competition. But other than that it’s an okay game but there are a lot of ads.
Initially fun
Initially, the game is fun but since you’re only playing against NPC’s, there is no competition - they are too easy to beat. After 100 levels or so, you will have every vehicle and every possible upgrade there is, without having to spend a dollar. For those just starting off, opt for the extra gems every time. You will have to endure an advertisement but the same is true if you choose the option with fewer gems (that makes no sense.) Also, the ranking system does not work. It basically just adds one rank value to your current rank no matter how you do in the race. They need to pit you against REAL players and offer REAL ranks & scores.
Shady
The game randomly changes your name and country of origin when you do the country races. Regardless about what you have set up in the settings. IF you decide to pay to not have ads, it doesn’t matter because you now have ads that are placed like billboards along the side of the track. It’s distracting and circumvents the idea of “no ads” when you pay. It would be nice to eventually have additional vehicles and or skins too since they’re easily all unlocked. It’s also unclear how the “ranking” is determined.
Adds
This game is fun , I enjoy playing it but that’s until the adds start that hold you hostage unless you click on them and then eventually have to close out the game then open it again . Look we all get that adds are a part of the deal unless you purchase the full game but these ones are just ridiculous . I really enjoyed playing this but I uninstalled it because the adds are too frustrating.
Obvious cash grab is obvious
It's a reasonable enough game to waste some time on. I'm just tired of "Earn a special reward for playing X levels, jk you have to watch an Ad." It's just another one of the common one faux multi-player games which tries to con you into buying a VIp membership. The membership is pointless. Watching ads is mostly pointless. If you wanna play the game, just deny access to cellular data, it's more enjoyable that way.
Zero Competition
I think this game may be geared more towards younger children. There’s no competition or challenge involved, other Han completing the course. The other racers will literally stop if you are not ahead of them. Effectively, you always come in first place. Example: I went through 30 levels to see if it would increase in difficulty or competitiveness. Anytime your car backslides, falls, or gets temporarily stuck, the other cars stop or just sort of shuffle around. You are always significantly faster, and they never go ahead of you other than in the very beginning of the race. Great for little kids if you want a game to occupy them. Nothing more though.
Drains battery. Ads on ads on ads
I have an iPhone 12 - the phone with probably the fastest graphics ever. But these pixelated little cars LAG. I mean really? I’ve exported 4K 60fps videos in a flash and this game heats up the phone like I’ve never seen before. It managed to drain 40% of the battery in 10 minutes. I can play Archero for hours and still have plenty of battery and that game has way more sophisticated graphics. Also ads are too much. I had to play on flight mode ans miss out on the benefits of actually watch ads for. All these review and ratings are obviously paid for.
Glitch will not allow me to collect gems after races
This game is pretty fun, if not very challenging. However, since the most recent update, I have not been able to collect gems after races. The finish screen no longer contains options for single or triple collect, and I have to quit the app after each race. And there is no “Contact Us” or “Support” options under settings. Very frustrating, especially after I paid to remove adds.
