Great Game BUT Inappropriate Ads
Everything about the game is good so far. The concept is fun. The characters are adorable. The items you can earn are helpful and imaginative…frustrating when everyone else has an item and you can’t pass a level without it and you have no control over when you can earn it/find it. Not too easy but not too challenging.
BUT…the ads in this game are extremely inappropriate. My children play the game with me and we are constantly having to place the game screen side down because of the content in the ads. Drama box ads have sexual relationships including people in bed together and inappropriately dressed people. During Christmas time those ads disappeared for a week only to be replaced with bra and underwear ads for adults. Emphasizing cup sizes for women and closeup images of males wearing underwear as well. An ad for Passion Solitaire was indicating undressing women and showing inappropriately dressed women as well.
This game is rated for ages 4+. The ads are 18+. And even I as an adult do not want to be accosted by them continuously. This is something that NEEDS to be addressed and fixed. I have reported the ads as being inappropriate via the correct channels on the game. We will see if this issue gets fixed.

Fun
This is a great game. Although yes, it could be better with the difficulty spikes in the trophy race and the events, I find it quite fun watching a “blob” run, swim, fly, and climb its way to victory. I also find this game to be oddly competitive. One big issue that I have with this game is the training bags. It takes forever to open them, and whenever I need a climbing bag while I am perfectly set on run, I seem to only get the run bag and get a small amount of climb from any bag. Another issue with this game is the difficulty spikes. I would be going so good through the game, getting first place every race. Then all of the sudden, I would constantly be fourth or third. Besides all that, I found this game quite interesting from an ad that looked somewhat bad on top of the playable looking and being nothing like the actual game. Other than those, this is a great, interesting, and oddly competitive game. A suggestion I would like to make is to decrease the amount of difficulty spikes and reduce the training bags time by half. Great game!

A race you can ultimately never win
I am at the point where I am going to delete this game. I have been playing for a long time and have even sunk a good amount of cash into it. The problem is that once you reach a certain level, you can’t progress any further without specific legendary “gadgets”. In order to get these gadgets, you either have to be very, very, very lucky or pay a lot of money on chest that you hope has the gadget that you need. Now, they have Special Events where theoretically you can obtain the necessary gadget, but no matter how high you progress, you will always get a little exclamation mark next to your power score letting you know that you aren’t quite high enough to compete. How do you increase your score? Through training bags, which are obtained by running races. Which you can’t win because you don’t have… wait for it… the aforementioned legendary gadget. You get bags even when you lose, but those bags increase your score, but it is very incremental and they don’t award you gadgets. It’s a convoluted, addictive, and quite frankly ingenious racket (that is not a compliment). I have no problem paying for an app that I am enjoying, but it must be fair. After spending $30 or $40, I’m done shelling out cash for a game that I will never be able to fully compete in.

4.5* would be perfect!
I love this game, I’ve sunk a ridiculous amount of hours into this game and I would have given it an 11 out of 10 because, although repetitive, nothing is out of reach. The challenges and the races can be hard or easy depending on your skill levels and the gadgets you have, but even challenging races can be surpassed… and then the developers made a change that makes me want to rethink the above. Now on the challenges that were so attainable before, you are never powerful enough to finish if it’ll unlock something. You always get to race 10/15 before the new gadget and “you’re not powerful enough” and just 6th place. Would be fine if these were fixed, but I’ve had this every day for a couple of weeks despite constantly levelling up. So I’m there, spending diamonds on training kits, watching all ads for as many tickets as possible… and I still can’t top 3 a race because I need more power. Fast forward 4 days for another chance at another gadget and it’s the same situation. Why?

Fun
I think we should make an update so we can switch body’s like into a cheetah a bike a car stuff like that I mean like shapeshift
Great game but rewards system needs to be adjusted
Recently downloaded this game and enjoying it thus far despite the ads. However the further I progress, the more I realise the Fortune Wheel rewards is not rewarding after all.
The champs you’re against with are RNG and sometimes very hard to place top 3. And if you do, the wheel gives you only 50 coins (even after coming in 1st) which is barely anything because it takes 30 minutes to wait for a ticket to play an event and upgrades are expensive. Even the chests don’t even give good rewards. It’s very demotivating to win any challenges because the rewards are close to non existent and you basically have to watch ads or spend gems to unlock items or skills (even the gems in the wheel is of tiny amount).
Maybe if the team can revise the incentives and rewards, the engagement would be a lot better.

Legendary rewards need to be easier to get
I have been playing this game for years and I still have not been able to collect some items that are needed. I have not yet been rewarded the Fox even though I win daily races all the time!
I also have not received the rocket from a chest, despite paying money for each season to be in the tournament for better rewards and VIP missions. You need to make the algorithm a bit more favourable to get these rare items. It’s losing the fun factor when I put in so much time and effort but don’t receive any new special items. Please can you do me a favour and make the legendary items easier to collect!

Fun game…for a while
This game starts of as a fun game, however you quickly realise that unless you pay $80 for upgrades regularly, you have no chance of winning. The legendary champs that drop are only good for a few races until you come up against the ones that never drop. Season passes and $30 packs will allow you to progress a little before you are met with a level of legend champs that are impossible to beat. Then you are stuck in a loop for the rest of the season of going down a level and then going back up to be smashed again.

Thank you for this
I really love this game couldn’t be better and keep making things like this. I love it note from me to the creators.
Disrespectful
Hey so your game is fun to play, reminds me of chaos from sonic adventure battle 2, but the reason why I’m giving a 3 star review today, is because y’all are beyond disrespectful when it comes to obtaining power. I 2500 power and you would think that’s great until you see that one of my attributes (swim) is 100 points behind the rest of my attributes. I get 1 blue swim bag maybe after opening 20 other training bags. None of the chests I open give me attributes toward swim, and when the ads come up for the additional power points yall never give me swim. Only time I swim is offered to me is with a price tag next to it. And I think that’s messed up. I’ve paid for the little pass 2-3 times, because I enjoy the game, but I’m actually considering not playing anymore because it’s almost impossible for me to win a swim race being that I’m on race 250 or so. I can’t get swim from training bags chests or ads, and yall throw a 20 dollar price tag on swim or beg me to pay 200 gems for 10 swim. I’m really not ganna do that being that I already pay for the pass and I purchase deals for new shapes and what not but I’m done buying, 100 point difference between all my other attributes is absurd even with over 60-70 dollars on the game.
