### 3/5 — 闪退

*2026-08-13, version 1.2.6*

这是在我很小时候玩的游戏了，好久没玩过了，看到之后感觉非常的激动。但是我试了无论新老设备都无法运行。我特别喜欢这款游戏，也特别怀念这款游戏，希望能够进行正常的修复。谢谢！

### 4/5 — Still good as before

*2025-04-05, version 1.2.4*

The game is still as good as the day we lost it. My only complaint is the amount of ads can be annoying since it’s almost every time you beat a level.

But that honestly it. We should spend it far because it’s very rare for old outdated game to come back in the modern day. Especially in the mobile space.

### 4/5 — Cool

*2017-02-03, version 1.2.0*

That's sounds fun and cool 
I like sound and animation cars

### 4/5 — Nat

*2016-07-10, version 1.2.0*

Fun little game.

### 2/5 — Stupid setting for turning

*2016-07-10, version 1.2.0*

When you want to turn right, you have to release your left finger, that means, you have to send a single to your left hand when turning right!

### 2/5 — A Ruined Good Game

*2016-01-27, version 1.2.0*

I feel sorry about this game and its makers. What's the most important part for a great sport game? Graphics? This game does a pretty good job on that.
But the bad handling of the control system and the difficulty brought by that just make this game feels...mediocre. There is only one available control system in the game --- tapping without any scales. Honestly, I suffered from trying to turn my car efficiently, and lost my interest soon. Some of the missions in the game are impossible to pass through with the bad handling & controlling. 
I would cheer out if they can include a gravity controlling system in the next game vision, in order to make this game great.

### 4/5 — Very challenging, but extremely fun if you can get in the groove

*2015-06-10*

Great game, hard to master fun to play its all about competing with others that makes it fun. Wish you could watch people's videos for best times. 
What's with the ranking system!?!? Its very wonky and unclear. Wish this could be more clearly explained or illustrated. I would have given this game 5 stars but no game is perfect. For what this one is however it's pretty darn close. 
Would some please explain the ranking system though. It doesn't make sense. 
Otherwise fantastic job :)

### 4/5 — Pretty Good

### 1/5 — Good but limited

*2015-04-17, version 1.2.0*

This could be great if the different coloured cars all had slightly different stats as it is once you have one of each car there's not much else to unlock or really bother to play it for

### 1/5 — Great!! -buuuut...

*2015-02-25*

Great game.  Easy to play, hard to master.  However, I am having serious problems with buttons becoming non responsive during play. For example the retry button does not respond during play.  Restarting the app helps for a while, then the behaviour returns.  Happens with other buttons as well. 
One star.   Fix this and you get five stars.

### 1/5 — 재밌긴한데 광고가 심한듯...

*2015-02-25*

확실히 재미는 있다고 생각합니다만...몇판하면 자동으로 광고영상뜨고 또 몇판하면 광고영상...계속 반복에 평가남겨달라고 푸쉬나오고 차사라고 반짝거리고...무료로 즐기게 해주는건 고맙지만 이건 좀 심하다 싶네요. 집중할만하면 광고...

### 1/5 — Could be good but.........

*2015-02-22, version 1.2.0*

Ruined by video adverts as soon as the first advert came on i deleted the app

### 1/5 — Nul

*2015-02-21*

Absolument pas prenant, les contrôles sont mauvais, passez votre chemin.

### 1/5 — Aaaa

*2015-02-20, version 1.2.0*

Bir yıldız yeter götverene. Fazla verince götü kalkar

### 1/5 — Ad-nauseum, or fork over $2.

*2015-02-19, version 1.2.0*

Latest update delivers mandatory video ad after EVERY short game. Ridiculous. I’ll give them a week to change this, otherwise it’s time to hit the X.
This game WAS kinda fun before the 1.2.0 update.

### 1/5 — Как так?

*2015-01-11*

Я хочу скачать игру а мне пишут нужно дополнительную плату

### 1/5 — Ad filled rubbish

*2015-01-10, version 1.1.2*

Why is Apple promoting this rubbish? After just ONE race I get some lame full screen ad pop up with a black rectangle where an image should presumably be that doesn't even go away? Why even bother to make a game this poor??

### 1/5 — To hard to handle

*2014-12-30, version 1.1.2*

Deleted after 5min. Looks nice. You probably have to buy stuff to upgrade. :(

### 5/5 — Прикольная игра

*2025-09-26*

заслуживает большего внимания, хотелось бы в будущем больше локаций с уровнями, возможно больше машин

### 5/5 — Daddy has finally came back

*2025-08-17, version 1.2.4*

Please don’t go again

### 5/5 — Верните игру

*2021-08-22*

Верните игру пожалуйста ((((

### 5/5 — Sick game

*2018-04-24, version 1.2.0*

Good game but quite hard to steer

### 5/5 — Very addictive

*2017-09-20, version 1.2.0*

Update:
Still an amazing game, but doesn’t work with IOS 11. Protostar, please update!!!!!!!

Looks and plays great.  I don't know what the bad reviews are talking about.  Yes the controls are simple, but that's what makes the game so great.  Maybe these reviewers just gave in too easily, it's not any easy game; some of the challenges are REALLY hard.  But having hard challenges is what makes it fun, especially when you just miss the goal.  It keeps you coming back.
The more you play the better the game gets. You can use different cars with different abilities, slower/ faster turning, based on the challenge. Can't wait for more tracks and challenges.

### 5/5 — Love this app! So much fun

*2017-02-03, version 1.2.0*

Played a full hour and stopped only when battery finally died. plenty of fun!

### 5/5 — Scandalous scando flicks!!

*2017-02-01*

Do it. You ain't ever get your flick as slick as mine. Haa ha. 
Seriously any game that gives you that chance is a five star special. I'm yet to play anything that's 'glitch' free on here. If you like drifting you will love this. Rock on Protostar!

### 5/5 — Great game!

*2016-07-10, version 1.2.0*

### 5/5 — Très chouette

### 5/5 — Bellissimoooo

*2016-03-01, version 1.2.0*

Questo gioco dà dipendenza!
