### 4/5 — This is honetsly so cool. Has huge potential in fact.

*2022-06-07, version 1.0.9*

This is a pretty cool game, just add some cool maps, you could even ask me to help, or at least send u a picture of a map I have in mind for u guys, but u don’t have to, anyways, I think if you add more cars, and increase public knowledge on this game, it would be honestly pretty awesome, make sure to add some updates and stuff and your good to go.
        Overall great game!

### 2/5 — Kinda boring for the price.

*2020-09-11, version 1.0.9*

$4.99 to have no ads, but if you plan to play it more than once the ads are going to break you. 

It’s kinda boring. Drive a car in a square pad and pick up things. That’s it. You can’t ram other cars or you die, there’s no jumps or anything to do tricks or show off, and you can modify the cars at all so it’s a really limited basic game.

### 2/5 — Ok

*2020-05-25, version 1.0.9*

The game keeps on loading and says “Standby” but when it’s loading, it just stops near the end and doesn’t go anywhere, i even kept it up for hours and stopped because it still hasn’t moved

### 4/5 — Super addictive!

*2020-02-14, version 1.0.9*

Great game! Wish vehicles weren’t created equal

### 2/5 — Много рекламы!!!!

*2020-01-21, version 1.0.9*

После каждого заезда реклама ((((

### 3/5 — game review what the game needs

*2018-08-19, version 1.0.9*

the first thing is too much adds number two graphics numer 3 more cars

### 3/5 — ?

*2018-08-13, version 1.0.9*

It is a good game but to get any cars you have to buy them please fix this

### 3/5 — Fun game

*2018-08-12, version 1.0.8*

The game is fun there is no time limit in the arena you have try to accumulate as much points by collecting the balls and knocking out people but to have points count twords leveling up you have to let the game quit when you die. Otherwise you lose if you respawn.

### 4/5 — Great but has some problems

*2018-08-05, version 1.0.7*

This game is amazing and I love it, the only reason that I give four stars is that it has some minor bugs that have not been fixed yet, for example one of the problems in the latest version is that you can not go to the game offline and if you go it crashes. Also the game would be better by adding new cars, new areas and new things for destroying other cars

### 3/5 — Needs some improvement

*2018-07-17, version 1.0.6*

It’s a great game but you should make it possible to get a new car without paying real money. You should also consider adding more maps, more cars and more power ups. Over all it’s pretty good.

### 5/5 — Nice

*2018-07-17, version 1.0.6*

A different view would be nice, as well as a new map.

### 5/5 — Ok

*2018-07-14, version 1.0.6*

Game hay , giết thời gian tốt

### 3/5 — Fun time killer

*2018-07-13, version 1.0.6*

But doesnt rotate on my ipad and thats hugely annoying.

Fun game though. Paid to remove the ads. Reasonable price and makes it much more fun.

Needs more cars. Funny cars funny paint. Add a tutorial or practice arena to learn how the weapons work.

### 5/5 — Great game

*2018-07-12, version 1.0.6*

I enjoy the game. Maybe when a car first gets started it can be given a grace period to get rolling. Also maybe a car could take on damage a few times first b/4 being terminated. Maybe loss parts of the car on the field. Just some ideas. Make it somewhat of a derby. Thanks

### 5/5 — Great game! Very entertaining!

*2018-07-12, version 1.0.6*

### 5/5 — Boost Arena Review

*2018-07-10, version 1.0.6*

Pros:
+ Exciting gameplay
+ Short round times
+ Beautiful car designs
+ Aesthetic animations
+ Competitive
+ Not pay to win!

Cons:
- Arena is only against bots
- Bomb AoE lasts longer than the animation

I really like this game! Its different from other racing games, runs smoothly and is great fun for in-between times.
 I dont understand why so many people complain about the cars only being available for cash. They dont change anything in-game and are only cosmetics, so obly buy them if you want to support the developers!
The leaderboard system is great and makes the game awesomely competitive, however an option to play real-time against other player instead of bots would be great. 

PS: Maybe you could fix the bomb items‘ explosion effect duration, I have died to it quite a few times because the explosions‘ effect last longer than the animation and having to restart the round because you drove into an already faded bombs‘ effect can be quite frustrating.

### 1/5 — Bad

*2018-07-21, version 1.0.6*

The ad appears after the end. Very bad

### 1/5 — Мдааа...

*2018-07-10, version 1.0.6*

Ждал предзаказ и мне дали вот что...

### 1/5 — For free????

*2018-07-06, version 1.0.6*

Really pay to play ???

### 1/5 — This game not so fun

*2018-07-05, version 1.0.6*

The only thing I’m glad is the timer are gone but you really have to use money to play other cars like.. why not made as a challenge instead of buying

### 1/5 — Garbage

*2018-07-03, version 1.0.6*

You only get one car and have to pay for any other unlocks and the game itself is boring and uneventful

### 1/5 — I’d really like to play this

*2018-07-01, version 1.0.6*

The game wouldn’t even open for me. I would go to play it and it would crash.

### 1/5 — Хуже доната не видел

*2018-06-30, version 1.0.5*

Игра может и была бы интересная 
Если бы ее не задушили в корне донатом 
Чтобы играть надо ждать 2 минуты кек 
Машины только за донат (80 рублей за машинку )

### 1/5 — Boost Arena

*2018-06-30, version 1.0.5*

Your app stole my $6.99. I didn’t even buy it.

*2020-02-09, version 1.0.9*

Нужно только развитие этой игре, типа дождь туман, погодные динамические условия, экшена добавить. В целом очень минималистичная и затягивающая 👌

### 5/5 — Most underrated game ever made!

*2019-11-04, version 1.0.9*

So I just got the top score and I'm finally in 1st place. I've been playing this game for well over a year now and have been coming back everyday to try and get got the top of the leaderboard. That day has come and now I can die happy. Not sure what to do with my free time now. Do I get a special prize? Fingers crossed!
