### 2/5 — Looks great

*2019-04-26, version 1.12*

Thus looks like a great game if u can ever get the hang of the operation if it, the controls drive you up the wall. If only it worked with simple touch screen then I bet it would be as good as Plasma Sky , one of the best there is. 
Sadly I don’t think I’ll ever be much good at this game however.

### 3/5 — Sort of fun but...

*2015-01-02, version 1.11.1*

Pros-

Sort of fun and a little addictive

Cons- 

SO HARD I WILL BE FLOATING AROUND IN SPACE AND BOOM I EXPLODE!!! IT JUST MAKES ME MAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

### 4/5 — Comet Racer

*2012-10-11, version 1.10*

Good game but the controls are reversed for the circle option. The thrust should be on the left and the circle on the right if you are right-handed. Also, the 2 other control options wouldn't work for me at all. Eileen26

### 5/5 — Looks great on the new iPad!

*2012-04-16, version 1.10*

Thanks for the update, I first got it for my iPod, and now on my iPad it's that much better.

### 4/5 — Finalmente...

*2012-04-06, version 1.10*

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2012-03-19, version 1.03*

I was nearly put off by the reviews. Actually this is my favourite donut game so far and the only one I have descided to review!  Donut games really are very good.

### 5/5 — Speechless :o

*2012-01-01, version 1.03*

It's a bird! No It's a plane! No It's....Comet Racer!!  It's outta this World! And by far the best of donut games. 

### 5/5 — Molto Bello

*2011-12-24, version 1.03*

Passatempo divertente, longevità più che buona contando che se vuoi prendere 3 stelle devi rigiocare i livelli più volte. Grafica dettagliata e sono nella media. Consigliato!

### 4/5 — Nice game

*2011-12-03, version 1.03*

This game is pretty good I first got it when it wuz free and I think it is worth a dollar unless it's gonna b on sale then wait

### 5/5 — Awsom

*2011-10-28, version 1.03*

I love it it's great :) !!!!!!!!!!

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2011-10-08, version 1.03*

This game is amazingly awesome but it needs more levels and gamecenter with achievements

### 2/5 — Bad Controls

*2011-09-10, version 1.03*

Frustrating.

### 5/5 — FINALLY!!!!!!!! 

*2011-09-03, version 1.03*

I BOUGHT THE GAME WITH A HELP OF A CARD!!!!!!  By the way this game is FUN!!!  I hope u guys make another fun fun fun FUUUN game! Cuz this one is a HIT!  great job and thank u! 

### 5/5 — Hey, ho.... retro!

*2011-08-03, version 1.03*

I used to love these Lunar Lander / Grav style games in the glory days of Video Gaming so seeing as how this one comes from the excellent Donut Games people I thought I'd give it a bash.

And I'm glad I did as it's easy to learn the controls and fun to play. I dunno what's up with some of the peeps on here that find manoeuvring the craft frustrating.... The d pad / thrust combo works like a dream.

Courses are nicely designed and worth replaying to attempt to grab all 3 stars.

The ghost ship of your best run so far is a nice touch. 

My only reservation is that the gravity pull should increase the longer the rockets are idle, and there should be no slow down until the ship is turned and engines engaged the other way as per the wonderful Net Yaroze game Gravitation. 

Apart from that it's a blast and nearly as good as Donut's equally fun and extremely addictive Cat Physics game.

### 3/5 — Pretty good

*2011-03-28, version 1.03*

It's a good game but could use a bit more levels

### 5/5 — Donut games ROCKS!!!!!

*2011-03-08, version 1.03*

Awesome game. One of my favorites so I'm gonna say yes do buy it. worth a buck. I gotta say donut games have been better than ever lately so all I gotta say is buy this app, all the rat on a whatever games, and probably either cat psychics or traffic rush( yes all these games are made by donut games). Ok guys just remember buy all those apps and you won't regret it.

### 5/5 — Donut games are great

*2011-02-12, version 1.03*

Especially when they're free.

... Easter egg?

### 1/5 — COMET RACER by DONUT GAMES

*2013-05-17, version 1.10*

Save your money - it's rubbish!

### 1/5 — Absolutely garbage

*2012-07-05, version 1.10*

Whatever you do, do not buy this game, for the love of God!  This game is probably the most frustrating game I have ever played.  This game will make you want to throw your iPad/iPhone/iPod against the wall.  The controls are among the worst a human being could have possibly conceived.  Terrible.

### 1/5 — This game is too hard

*2011-01-20, version 1.03*

I love Donut Games and have them all but really don't like this one, it's too hard :(

### 1/5 — AAAAWWWWEEEESSSSOOOOMMMMEEEE

*2010-05-12, version 0*

DONUT GAMES MAKES THE BEST APPS EEVVEERR! I'VE BOUGHT MORE THAN HALF  OF THEIR APPS! (THEY HAVE A LOT, LIKE 25.)

### 1/5 — Nnnnope...try Bricks of Camelot.

*2010-03-19*

I agree with NC olympic. Maybe it's not the game. It's probably me. But I can't get past the first bend. My ship spins out of control and winds up repeatedly and violently bouncing off the rocks before the game finally ends (and not a moment too soon). 

Take advantage of the accelerometer and let us tilt to steer. This would be an awesome game if so.

Donut Games does make great games. My all-time favorite is Bricks of Camelot. And I don't just mean Donut Games. BOC is in the top ten of all my iPod games.  I would have paid $2.99 EASY for that game.  So, it being from the same devs, I'd HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend it. Make more games like that. 

THIS game, though...it's not me. I hate controlling with arrows. Sorry.

### 1/5 — Rubbish

*2010-03-18, version 0*

Don't play it is the worst ipod game ever!!!!!!

### 1/5 — Paid a buck now free

*2010-03-17, version 0*

No
I hate this game

### 1/5 — Pathetic controls.

*2010-03-16, version 0*

Its a stone age game for iphone

### 1/5 — Not good

*2010-03-15, version 0*

This is bad,the game is so hard! Not like rudolph kick and fly which is fab!!!!

### 1/5 — Bad controls/game

*2010-03-15, version 0*

Can you make the left and right buttons any closer I mean jeez those buttons are right next to each other so half the time I'm hitting the wrong direction and this game is just boring

### 5/5 — Simple but excellent game

*2025-03-14, version 1.13*

I’ve been playing this game for years, never getting old. A bit similar to Trackmania but in space.

### 5/5 — Vollkommen unterschätzt

*2017-08-06, version 1.12*

Aufgrund der früher relativ schlechten Bewertung (3 Sterne) hatte ich immer einen Bogen um dieses Spiel gemacht. Dann habe ich mich doch durchgerungen und muss sagen: WOW!! Eines der besten Donut Games überhaupt! Man kann wieder stundenlang auf Highscore-Jagd gehen. Abwechslungsreiche Level, perfekte Steuerung, Spielspaß pur. Meine Meinung :)

### 5/5 — Fun

*2017-08-01*

Good 🤗🤗🤗

### 5/5 — One Of My Favorites

### 5/5 — Brilliant!!!!!!

*2013-11-30, version 1.10*

### 5/5 — Cool, pero...

*2013-11-18, version 1.10*

### 5/5 — Fun and addicting
