If these were fixed I would re download it. ### 1/5 — Why so many ads *2020-09-06* Why are there so many ads. I mean there are those games that have ads every once in a while but this game is like : I touch something, Ad Ad ad why ### 3/5 — Walking *2020-09-02* When u get to the tire part he walks slow like crazy but rest is all amazing ### 1/5 — Don’t waste your time *2020-07-02* Moronic game play. Rubbish interface, absolutely rubbish ### 3/5 — Fair game *2020-07-01, version 1.0* Hi the concept is good I’ve been looking for a game with the same concept for years but you can’t build a motor wen you can’t move the parts so that needs to be fixed and I get it you guys need to put the ads up there to keep their free more people downloaded but could you tell I’ve seen the same ad five times in one minute that need to stop OK if I don’t want to download episodes I don’t want to download episodes ### 2/5 — Way Too many Adds *2020-06-25, version 1.0* I deleted the game after about 5 min. Over all great idea however, after 10-20 seconds of playtime you will get a 30second add. Definitely more watching adds than playing itself. I’d give it four stars if there where tremendously less adds. ### 1/5 — This game needs help *2020-05-21* This game should be better the graphics are disgusting to many adds very 10sec a add pops up the people that made this game should give it more attention next time and should stop these adds it’s not YouTube ### 4/5 — I like it but I don’t like the timer so I give it a 4 *2020-04-14* And I like the engine and how it works. ### 3/5 — Design *2020-04-06, version 1.0* It works well as far as graphics and so forth but the moving of parts is horrible being able to move the camera may help but doesn’t always line the pieces up and help you. Way to many ads to enjoy but waiting to see complexity of builds and so forth. Don’t care much about the driving or anything but building all kinds of motors to be able to see the changes would be awesome ### 1/5 — O o O hell naw *2020-04-05* O o O Hellman ### 1/5 — Game review *2020-03-29* HOLY Man!! I have seen 5 ads and I haven’t even finished step 1! Fix your game! ### 1/5 — Intrusive Ads Poor Drag Control *2020-03-22, version 1.0* I played this game for two levels and quit. Dragging the parts is frustrating because they don’t like to respond to your touch and if they don’t stop in their area just right they go back where they were. Also the ads. Everything stars and ends with an ad, restart and there’s an ad. Sorry It’s just too much. ### 2/5 — Needs more *2020-03-18, version 1.0* There is clearly not enough things in the game. Like, more time to finish the game. (Took me 4 minutes to complete the whole game) Also needs: better graphics. Toggle camera. Better driving physics. etc. Besides, it isn’t that bad. ### 2/5 — Ive never seen such WONKY CONTROLS *2020-02-23, version 1.0* I am playing on a brand new, top phone with no lag or processing issues. That being said, when I click and hold on a part and attempt to drag it over, I expect the part to move. I have NEVER seen such wonky and frankly garbage controls. If this game’s controls were on the line for the after school basketball team, I would pick the kid with crutches before it. An alcoholic, red headed stepchild with no job and 3 Baby Mommas is less disappointing than this games controls. Please for the love of god, fix this. Also, the soundtrack is nice. 👍 ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Suggestion to developer *2022-12-24, version 1.7* I understand you would like to make as profits for developing this app, but I tried your game for about 20 minutes, and I estimate that you made me watch about 12 minutes of ads in that time. If you want to make money on ads, reduce them by 90% and I probably would have kept trying your game. At this point I’m deleting your app. ### 1/5 — Not an Accurate way to learn at all *2022-05-13, version 1.0* Is very clear that developer of game does not know the process of engine building and is only teaching kids what not to do. I understand kids do not look at the comments but if they do do not take this game as accurate . You start with crankshaft it already has piston rods on it you put piston heads on the rods and then valves followed by cams and then Timing belt and fly wheel and then you add the block which is not by any means the order also V8 pulls a V8 out of the WRX and puts an inline four that looks like a EVO motor and makes the car RWD instead of AWD with a Flat four boxer motor it is very confusing on so many levels ### 1/5 — Terrible game *2022-04-30, version 1.0* If you’re seeing this then you have to fix this Game it is so glitchy so many ads and I’ve spent money on it and it is trash and terrible Quality if any of the people who want to get this game and I knew them I’d say delete the game Amelia because it’s a big pile of trash you need to fix that!!!☹️ ### 1/5 — What a crappy game *2021-11-11* This is a trashy game and I don’t think it is worth it ### 1/5 — One star for me *2021-07-11* The game really needs to be properly made before releasing it on app. Please fix this game it needs upgrading. ### 1/5 — THIS GAME SUCKS *2021-03-22* OMG the graphics are crap it’s such a short game and the car is crap it’s all crap THIS GAME SUCKS! ### 1/5 — Stupid levels *2020-11-23* Really?people do not play this game it has way too many ads next the graphics are horrible and hardly any levels and lastly it is way too laggy. To summarize it is TRASH DON NOT WASTE YOUR PRECIOUS TIME TO GET THIS GAME 😒😤🤬. And why do the characters look like turds? ### 1/5 — Absolute garbage *2020-11-05* Worst mechanic simulation app ever created. Period. ### 1/5 — Good concept poor execution *2020-10-31* As soon as you open this app, the first thought I had was wow, this game needs a refresh. Someone needs to sit down and polish this app as its very clunky and poorly executed ### 1/5 — Ads *2020-10-14, version 1.0* This game isn’t what you think it is ok here is the thing what’s the point of making a game if it’s all gonna be ads. Every time the level starts and ad every time it ends and ad and the controls are garbage no that’s actually offensive to the garbage. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Good game *2022-06-22* I’m a beginner and trying to know about cars so this is perfect ### 5/5 — this game *2021-11-13* Cool game ### 5/5 — Great game *2021-07-10, version 1.0* This game is teaching my son so much about cars I really recommend this awesome game! ### 5/5 — This game is awesome *2021-05-21, version 1.0* This game is the best really good job on the full game developers I have nothing negative to say all’s i can say is awesome job developers. ### 5/5 — Great game *2019-08-20, version 1.0* Devsssssss pleaseee get rid of so many ads please it’s literally before and after each part you add it gives you an ad ### 5/5 — Helped me Better understand how an engine worksite *2018-08-28, version 1.0* It a truly amazing game i recommend this game to anyone who wants to learn about cars ### 5/5 — Downloading... *2018-05-03, version 1.0* As of the pics it looks great that you can rebuild and engine, drive it, and all that. If it holds up this may be the best game ever on the App Store! ### 5/5 — Intriguing! *2018-04-30, version 1.0* Refreshing idea. Kids like to see how things work and this really does a great job of detailing the inner workings of an engine. Cheers. ### 5/5 — Niceee *2018-04-16, version 1.0* Amazing game good job on this who ever complains of the ads you can remove the ads by paying 2-3 dollars or put your phone on airplane mode ### 5/5 — The app is good *2018-03-11, version 1.0* The app is good but the are a little much because every time you click on something you get a ad and the can be a little annoying but other than that the game is really good. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
