Some insane cars
So the game is great! It brings cheap arcade fun! But usually your only gonna find 2 cars being raced. The Volkswagen van, and the Skyline R32
Let’s start out with the Volkswagen. It’s a car with low acceleration but top speed! Balanced, right? Not exactly.. Yes acceleration is bad, once it goes it doesn’t stop unless you ram it into a wall. It blazes through twist and turns without even slowing down the slightest. And the high speed doesn’t help either, meaning this thing is impossible to keep up with. It might as well be labeled as a muscle car.
Next the R32, it’s nearly the exact opposite. Acceleration is its ace in the hole, white top speed is lacking a bit. However that doesn’t balance it when the acceleration is lighting fast. The only time your gonna see this thing in a slower car is at the start and finish, otherwise it can dust you faster than you could say “Overpowered”
Really it’s not a big fix, just have the Volkswagen slow down a bit at corners, and maybe lower the skylines acceleration a bit. That doesn’t mean ruin the cars though, but I don’t want them being the only cars I race against all the time. Well, if you want that I guess I don’t have a say in it.
Thanks for reading

Fun until...
The game was fun until you start getting into higher levels. The game’s algorithm is to give you good cards in boxes but then match you with people that have a slightly better car than you. Iv been in the same league for almost a month now, can’t go anywhere because I win some then lose some. It’s obvious that the game is rigged due to the race match making system. The only way to win every single race and level up in leagues is to buy a $15 car pack (which is originally $50, complete bs). I’m not giving this game a one star because yes, it was fun at the beginning but towards the fox league, that’s when you really start to get the feel of what the game is all about, pressuring you into buying extremely expensive in app purchases.Show lessnotchasewatson
Matching system unbalanced
This game is the best mobile game I’ve found in a long time, and it’s really good. However, I think that when you end up racing someone with the same car you have in a higher level, it’s unfair to the lower level car, because you can do everything you can to try to catch up, but since it’s the same car you have no advantages, since the lower level car just has worse specs. Also, matching players when you jump leagues should be balanced, since when I started league 11 I was immediately matched with a level 2 FerrariShow lesslitzenritz
Horizon
So I’ve just started playing. I loved this game and how it works but I’ve gotten to high to quick and now everyone has level 4-5 horizon which I don’t have. EVERYONE I face has the same car and I can’t win. They push me into a wall or glitch through me everytime. It’s less about skill and more that everyone I face has a massive advantage on me. Please fix the glitching so that I at least have some sort of chance to win. Right now I literally cannot win.
I’ve just read multiple peoples complaints and not a single one has been fixed. I see now that I’m not alone whenever I go against way higher ranked cars. Also the game is trying to force you to buy cars and spend real money. I didn’t realize that this game brought in “physics” and I almost started laughing at how STUPID that is! This game has NO “physics” AT ALL. Makes 0 sense how if they hit my car a certain way one time I crash then again I don’t crash. Another thing is drifting. Sometimes if u drift you slow down...wouldn’t happen. If I get close to a wall I slow down automatically???? Stupid. If I barely bump a car I end up going slow or completely stopping. This game was fun and it’s makes me mad that they had to ruin itShow lessjakebakethembuns
Very fun and good advertisement!
It’s not often you come across a free app that pushes ads every other second; Hot Slide did their ads SO much better. It’s all integrated into earning rewards, they’re out of the way when you race.
About racing: It’s really smooth, has a learning curve, and the cars are really sweet. I find myself sliding my finger too far off the screen sometimes, but I just gotta get used to it. I’m not sure how the balancing is quite yet, but hopefully they can continue to improve the number system to give players the best idea of how fast their car actually is.
The UI is very organized and I really enjoy the progression system. The rewards are really nice, and after playing for a couple hours I’ve gotten plenty of good stuff for free (with the use of ads as well.) In addition to this, the special offers are reasonable, and watching an ad for another crate or double currency for an hour is super worth it.
I’m not a fan of micro transactions and pay to win, but this game is probably one of the least stingy about progression, which means you can play the game completely free and still do well and get ranked with others at your level.
I’ve reached level 7 in an hour of playing, so I am still unlocking the different levels and competitive racing. The time trial team mode was pretty cool, and well organized.
Hot Slide is fast and fun, simple and easy to follow. I hope more apps continue to follow this model!Show lessSome requests
Needs To Fix Match-up Issue
The game developers REALLY need to change how you match up with your opponent to where it’s fair/even. I enjoy it and it started off as a great game but as you progress, the game will constantly pair you with an opponent who has a higher level car than you. No matter how well you race the track, it can be impossible to beat them even if you go through the track perfectly. This makes it harder to go into higher leagues. Getting good cars takes an unnecessary amount of time and upgrading the cars is an even worse process as you have limited control on which car you get and which ones can be upgraded (upgrade cards are given at random when you earn these “packs”, which you’ll have to wait several hours to open) you can tell the game tries to get you to spend real money, as spending real money will help you progress a lot easier and will get you better carsShow lessRandomusername102937364
Good game - issues
I’m not going to go in depth discussing the pros and cons of the game, but I would like to address an issue I would hope can be fixed in some way - opponents benefit from ramming you into the walls. This is a major problem (at least in my eyes) and I’d really like it to be fixed. The following is a less major problem, but is a very similar issue. When the person you’re racing crashes on a narrow track, you will inevitably run into them and 95% of the time it will slow you down you over significantly more than it will your opponent. As well as this, small crashes can completely stop your car whilst you can have a major crash that will barely phase you. Another minor problem is that after a certain point in the game, who wins is often based on where you start - whoever starts in a better position wins. And a note to any potential staff reading this - please remove river peak, nobody likes it. Finally, please just don’t add turns if they aren’t part of the race - the turns that are cut off. When you are racing it can be really confusing.Show less.:,;.:,;.:,;.:,;
Collision inconsistency
Game has been really fun and I have been playing consistently everyday for the past 2 weeks but I only have one problem with the game so far which are the inconsistencies of the collisions in this game.
Sometimes when your car barely glides against a wall or a another car, your car will gradually come to a stop even though it looked like you weren’t making any contact. Not only does this not make sense but there also might be cases where you’d rather make a full impact crash rather than have your car barely skid the wall because at least then, you would still have momentum and keep moving.
Add a practice mode into this game, a little more room for customization then bada-Bing bada-boom you got yourself a great drifting game.Show lessMFF:traviboi
Racing
Simply amazing racing in the marlin league and can’t ever get past it 95 percent of racesare cars 2 3 4 levels ahead of me veer lower level and some times I get completely anhialated and yet there in the same low class marlin league cas me really I ge destroyed and these drivers players are still in the marlin league yes just got the green fire arrow car to level five and sliding all over the track lost every single race because of the hacking so just think when it gets to level 10 probably slide right through the mountain at that speed really I have raced other fire arrow drivers and thy seems to not have this problem but my car can’t and won’t stay on he track. One minute later just after writing this review the 2nd race I was I was a police car with lights flashing don’t believe I have ever raced one yet but WHAT A COINCIDENCE RIGHT AFTE I SENT IN THE REVIEWShow lessNone354
Car stats lie
Howdy,
So I’ve gotten decently far into the game at 3690 trophies being my highest. Stillafter the brand new update today, where they totally converted all car stats to smaller numbers. A car with all worse stats than me was beating me on a straightaway on a course. “The Ghost” level 4 which had 4 less acceleration and 5 less speed, was pulling away from a level 5 “Satin” that has 168 acceleration and 157 speed. So a completely slower car was beating after we were neck and neck the entire race. But magically he had the power to get faster than me. I have the problem where if I am neck and neck with someone in a tight squeeze, I’ll get in front of them. We both try to squeeze through the tight spot, and they will literally phase through me like there was no obstacle there. My car will glitch and will be like drop kicked into a wall. This makes me lose the race every time. So hopefully this gets fixed.Show lessColin01oh0812
