If you get frustrated easily or annoyed don’t play. But with patience the game may be fun I just can’t get into it. Good graphics and alright gameplay just unbalanced matchmaking and silly abilities.such as the stop time compared to mussel one can boost you to 1st and the other will do absolutely nothing unless you are tailing someone. ### 4/5 — Awesome but *2019-02-21, version 1.3.08* The lie was beautiful while it lasts, the truth is a tough one to get over with. The game is quick, so smooth that you can play 5-6 games in 10. But it’s just sad to realize a big part of the fun in real time race is compromised for the quickness - which is also valuable, but lonely that’s all. ### 4/5 — Great Game... needs a few tweets *2018-12-30, version 1.3.08* Great game been playing for a while now. I manage to secure number 1 in the UK on a weekly basis 👌🏽 and top 50 in the world. Really enjoy this game and great that it’s as free. Having saying this buttons on the left and right need to be moved maybe to the top so they’re not right in the way of your fingers. Also some new levels would be awesome. When I have 20+ Million and the most I can bet is 1 Million it does loose the excitement. Finally the bonus spins should earn you the appropriate amount in comparison to your current wealth. All in all though if you’re reading this review don’t let it it put you off. Definitely worth the download and I’m sure with the apps success these minor problems will be ironed out! ### 4/5 — Good game but.. *2018-11-23, version 1.3.08* The multiplayer is fake they’re all bots ### 4/5 — PLZ READ THIS *2018-05-07* This game is awesome but it would be real appreciated if u guys could make an offline mode of this game. Thanks! ### 3/5 — Very bad names you can choose *2018-04-09, version 1.3.0* Once I was playing a innocent game and I was checking the levels to see my competition and there was a level 32 player and I looked to see what his name was and it was dickboy which I thought was very inappropriate so please do have restrictions for people’s names like if they use the letters d i c k in there name next to each other say this may be a bad word try again to the player ### 2/5 — Good concept, ruined by ads *2018-01-05* The whole game is built around watching ads. “Coins” are required to enter every race and are only earned for winning a race, watching ads, or paying real money. In fact, the more you use your character the slower it gets until you watch an ad to restore full speed. I lost two races and didn’t have enough coins to play the game, unless I watched four ads in a row. ### 4/5 — Fake online *2017-12-06, version 1.3.0* Please add online ### 3/5 — Not really online play *2017-12-05, version 1.3.0* This game was entertaining until I quickly realized I was racing some recorded version of other players who have previously played the level... this realization left me with little competitive motivation and I’m over it... fun while I believed in the lie. ### 3/5 — Great but *2017-12-05, version 1.3.0* Offline mode would be a 5 star also if you didn’t have to use gold to play that would be awesome if you could think about that ### 3/5 — Shotty controls *2017-11-15, version 1.3.0* There’s all these things getting in the way of where you tap which sucks for a race. Like, I don’t need the option of reviewing my abilities when I’m running as fast as I can. Also the item button is small and dead center, as far out of reach as possible. Fun game though ### 3/5 — Great game, but plenty of room for improvement. *2017-11-14* Can turn off music, but not sound. It’s a pain to play on the phone. ### 2/5 — Not real PvP *2017-11-06* Game just puts you vs. a bunch of computer players. If you believe you are playing real people, it’s fun, but once you realize it is 5 computer players vs. you, it feels like you have been duped! Fun for free, but not a real PvP experience. ### 4/5 — bot player. *2017-11-03* it is funny, but i think other players are bot. it uses players’ id. XP ### 2/5 — Upgrade makes this game IMPOSSIBLE *2017-10-31* I played this quite a lot before the recent upgrade with character "power ups" and I have to admit, it was kind of easy. I think we all know that this is not a multiplayer game by any stretch of the imagination - your racing against the computer with random names. However, now with this upgrade, the game is insanely hard! It seems like everyone runs faster than you! On top of that, I have to complain about the poor placement of the power ups during the game (right side of screen). They often interfere with the game play. Although it's not super often (approx once every 10 games), you can rest assure that whenever it does - you're losing that race, and will be very close to slamming your phone on the floor. I'm ok with making games more challenging , but making a game impossible is not nice. I'd rather play with less frustration. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Still bad *2025-02-09* Agree with all the 7 year old reviews. Used to play this years so but since update guess they don’t care it’s unplayable still. ### 1/5 — Hard to control and hard to play *2020-05-28, version 1.3.08* It’s just not good. Confusing tutorial. Not good. Don’t download it’s a waste of space. ### 1/5 — MI OPINIÓN *2018-09-14, version 1.3.08* Seré sincero esto es basura para mob ### 1/5 — Controls make it almost unplayable *2018-03-09* If you go to use a power up and you miss your character ends up jumping, sometimes in the wrong direction. The middle third of the screen needs to be only for power up, and the respective sides need to be for direction. ### 1/5 — Don't even bother downloading *2017-12-05, version 1.3.0* Cheaters are rampant in the very first level that isn't a tutorial, and on your very second race it wants you to pay to play ### 1/5 — This is not an online game!!!! Don’t be fooled *2017-11-11* I tried shifting to airplane mode midway through a game and it still worked. You are playing against computers for most of the time. Don’t be fooled. ### 1/5 — No Serbia? *2017-07-29, version 1.2.0* Where is Serbia ### 1/5 — TERRIBLE GAME *2017-07-09, version 1.2.0* Two things, one, why does the game need internet in order to be played, it's pretty obvious that the other players are not actual people. And two, this game is a little unfair, not only does it feel like every one else is moving faster than you but also the placement of the power up, one miss click and you already know your going to lose. ### 1/5 — 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡 *2017-06-22, version 1.2.0* The new update messed this game up soo much !! ### 1/5 — Terrible Update *2017-06-13, version 1.2.0* Thanks for ruining a great game. The new update means that the game has nothing to do with skill and everything to do with power ups and that's terrible. Fix it. Until you do, I'm not playing again. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Bring Cosmo Race Back! *2021-04-12* This game had so much potential, it was one of the only iOS games I got addicted to playing and was sad when you guys gave up on it. These developers need to bring this game back and add more modes. ### 5/5 — Play with friends *2018-08-12, version 1.3.08* Add ### 5/5 — Great *2018-08-05, version 1.3.08* Well done, this is amazing I can't put it down and there isn't no ads, I love it 😍 ### 5/5 — This game is dope *2018-01-04* I never do reviews but this game is dope. Game is competitive and full of different power ups and characters. One the best games I’ve downloaded ever. Should be top 10. ### 5/5 — Great game *2017-12-31, version 1.3.0* One of the best free games out there ### 5/5 — Amazing *2017-12-08, version 1.3.0* Ce jeux est vraiment plaisant! Je ne peux m’en lasser! 👌 ### 5/5 — Add invite friends *2017-11-13* I love the game it’s fun but I wish you guys can update where you can play with your friends and invite them to play with you! Please add invite friends!!! ### 5/5 — Nice game *2017-11-07, version 1.3.0* This game is so bad :( ### 5/5 — AMAZING *2017-11-02* this is the only phone game I can actually get into and I’ve been telling all my friends to get it but please please add a feature that allows hosted games with friends or like a private game with nearby friends that would make this game go from amazing to perfect. Other than that this game is beautiful artistically and has enough little details like upgrades and character perks to make it replayable for years just please if you want this game to blow up make a friend private match feature and if you wanna get even more creative maybe a clan feature! Great work excited for updates keep it up! ### 5/5 — love it! but not realtime. *2017-10-30* I love it this game! so cute!! This game is multiplay but not realtime. I think it's getting other user data from the sever. So it's good to play! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
