### 4/5 — Ads

*2026-07-19, version 1.3.1*

The game is extremely good and I really love it 🥰.  But I can’t access a full screen play and the ads are too much…always showing on top or at the button.
In addition,pls try to add more venues of racing to it

### 5/5 — Excelente

*2026-07-07*

It’s a pretty fun game in the ads are optional and the graphics are pretty good too. This is a 9/10 experience.🙂

Amazing graphics, & stunning gameplay, however I wish there was more vehicles to pick from.. great game nonetheless tho!

### 5/5 — Realistic Racing for Pros / Racing Paradise

*2026-06-29, version 1.3.1*

Sprint past and demolish your competition in the captivating world of demolition circuits against intelligent racers on your way to a Piston Cup. Great looking environment, is an exciting game to play with seemingly endless content as you fight your way to the top of banger racing. 

Longer tracks or at least the tracks with more laps in the master series would be ideal. The longer races are highly entertaining. Could use some more environment destruction. This is great as an immersive banger racing game. For an arcade game, the backgrounds of the maps are well crafted.

I would be more likely to do the “Truck vs. Car” events if the reward was Diamonds. Costing 2 diamonds makes me never want to do the race since the diamonds you can earn are limited. 

In just under 28 in-game-hours I achieved 100% on the game. Over 90% of the game I used arrow controls. You can win through Pro without max upgrading your vehicles and in Master as well. Some of the vehicle stats aren’t accurate. A max level Gepard is better than a max Thunder. A max Devastator seems faster than a Max Super. On the Xbox controller (you can connect through phone) it’s great except you won’t be able to go full speed at times. 

I would get rid of the Time Challenge all together. It doesn’t really make sense for banger racing. The Skill Series is a much greater counterpart. 

The Ghost Beatle for gold in Pros on Redwood is more difficult than any Time Challenge in Master. (The Jeep series does take time) I spent over 2 hours on this challenge, whearas everything else in the pros and Time Challenge wise I have been able to beat in 15 minutes tops.

Just for reference I have played hundreds of racing mobile and console and am very successful at winning.

You don’t have to use the best vehicle in any series (Masters or Pros) just make sure it’s at least 80% upgraded in engine and Grip and 60% in boost. 
Get rid of time challenge or nerf the CPUs marginally.  

Consider adding:

More endurance races (endurance races will not let you return to the main menu after they finish unless you force close the app). More maps! The ability to start custom races with certain amount of laps on whatever map you want to do. More cars. The cars are beautiful and the maps are well-crafted. More destruction in maps like in bridges as the bridge will start to breakdown if you crash into it. Custom liveries or ability to change colors of them. Maybe, have us unlock Zara, Raul, Adam, Jim, Brutal, Ivan liveries and others for our cars in a challenge game mode. Stock cars in an S or S+ class. “Realistic soft body physics” where the cars breakdown at a much higher/realistic race where a few bad wrecks could ruin your race. Freeplay. Multiplayer. Wheel modification and wheel color changes. 

Consider Fixing/Patching:

Reward ads don’t always function. The ad at the top during the races gets in the way sometimes please consider removing it. Though it is only $5 to remove the ads. 

[If You Use Xbox Controller] Redwood and Bridge seems to be the maps the car your driving in slows down randomly (in masters) the lower skill factions (pro and below) it doesn’t seem to affect that I noticed.

My general thoughts:

The AI is challenging and the arcade feeling from racing has been removed in the most immersive way possible. AI is incredibly smart and feels like a fair fight. Makes the races replayable. 

The car series tournaments and knockout elimination style races are my favorite as well as the restricted events to 1 vehicle… an all Supra event would be peak!! The smoke effects and realistic slipstream /windbreaker effects is a great touch.

You have to be a seasoned racer to compete in the masters and pros. You can win in pros with the 5th best vehicle in any given event not even fully upgraded (80%) if you want to play hardcore. I beat advanced (third hardest stage) fairly easily however I’ve played dozens of mobile and console racing games before this. 

*Message to developers*
DO NOT add a Last Man Standing game mode. Allow us to reset manually and drive in reverse during the races.

The game progression is satisfying to complete. I hope they keep improving the game it could be better than Wreckfest on mobile.

### 5/5 — jogo bom tem potencial

*2026-06-28*

gostei, é divertido

### 5/5 — Really really awesome game

*2026-06-26, version 1.3.1*

### 5/5 — Wishes

*2026-06-24, version 1.3.1*

### 5/5 — Огонёк!!!!!!!🔥🔥🔥 НО..........

*2026-06-24, version 1.3.1*

Всё очень круто но я хотел себе Thunder но он стоит 30 алмазов а у меня ноль то есть надо донатить а я не хочу сделайте цены что бы можно было купить без доната и зарабатывать алмазов побольше ну а я буду копить на Thunder

### 5/5 — The best game ever

*2026-06-19*

So much fun

### 5/5 — Muy bueno pero me paso algo

*2026-06-19, version 1.3.1*

Es que a veces cuando estoy jugando se traba y se me bloquea el iPad su juego es muy bueno pero arreglen esa falla por fa🥺

### 5/5 — The best demolition derby game, but I wish there were more levels

*2026-06-18*

This game is well balanced. Everything is achievable. Drift could have been a bit more realistic, too much speed is lost. Also, I finished almost everything and I hope there is more development coming.

### 5/5 — Best mobile Elmo derby game

*2026-06-08*

This is the best wreckfest copie ever real damage super fun really recommend console quality stuff right here

### 3/5 — Ручник то где?

*2026-06-03*

Игра интересная до Про режима, дальше без рестарта и скриптовые твари. Зара - отдельная тварь, чтоб ты в канаве лежала.

### 5/5 — Addictive but…

*2026-05-22, version 1.3.1*

A very addictive and fun game for sure. This one is a keeper. My only COMPLAINT is the very confusing ad watching bonus option at the end of a race. This would generate far more ad views if it were fixed. Out of the weeks I have been playing I have only seen it function for one day. Otherwise its grayed out.

### 1/5 — trash game

*2026-07-07, version 1.3.1*

you mean to tell me that you have to race in B and C class and you only get 3 B class cars to start with when vans and trucks get C class and can just push you and move you out of the way much faster and how is it that a van is much faster than a car and can keep up with me when i have my car fully upgraded? the AI is literally unfair to go up against if i wanted a good derby game id play wreakfest because atleast then the AI wouldnt be drugged out of their mind and make the game unfair. its physically impossible to beat the AI unless they crash into a wall or a rock or other car or truck.

### 1/5 — The game crash

*2026-04-24, version 1.3.1*

I’m trying to get inside of game and second game crash, Im can’t play anymore with this.

### 1/5 — Awesome

*2026-03-12, version 1.3.1*

lol your response is a joke right? Hey guys we made a game with intrusive ads but go buy this ad blocker so you can play. lol I have seen some bad replies on the App Store but this takes the cake by far. The ad bar that is always on screen is pretty awesome. It's great always being on the bottom and then when you start a race it pops on the top. Just so you don't need to guess that is sarcasm. Having it on the menus is one thing but while you are racing is not cool. Especially when it's a company like Meta/Facebook that sells customer data.

### 1/5 — постоянно реклама

*2026-01-14, version 1.3.1*

После каждой гонки показывает рекламу

### 1/5 — Trash

*2025-12-29, version 1.3.1*

Ok, game ig. I have two of the fastest car’s in the game and fully modded, and yet some how a van is faster than me 🫥💀. Make that make sense, and y’all need to add more stuff.

### 1/5 — Crazy

*2025-12-02, version 1.3.1*

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2025-08-25*

I’m so annoyed with this game because on the App Store the graphics were so good but when y9u open it the graphics are so bad and it just makes me so angry so thanks for this

### 1/5 — Rigged — do not download

*2025-04-08, version 1.1.6*

Impossible to win even one race, so forget it. Game is rigged. No matter HOW fast you go, you can never catch up with other cars to pass or ram them. TOTAL SCAM. If you want to waste your life and time with this “game”, be my guest.

### 1/5 — All ai

*2025-02-19, version 1.1.4*

I hate this game because all the cars are the same speed

### 5/5 — Best Offline Game No Doubt

*2026-08-07, version 1.3.1*

Been playing for 3 years off and on and always come back to when other games get boring and it’s always as good as a I remember, will always play this game.

### 5/5 — Потрясно

*2026-07-24*

Лучшие гонки на ios. Без рекламы, но самое главное геймплей. Он здесь потрясный, во время гонки творится полное безумие, высокие скорости, физика как управления так и повреждений авто, яркая графика. С интересом можно проходить одни и те же турниры по несколько раз. Единственное пожелание - сделать звуки моторов по ранообразнее

### 5/5 — good operation😁

*2026-07-23, version 1.3.1*

The game was good. It is fun but I want to ask is the player AI

### 5/5 — New maps

*2026-07-22*

Pls add new maps

### 5/5 — Bruh

*2026-07-22, version 1.3.1*

One of the best games I’ve ever played. The graphics are good and the physics are good. If you want a wreckfest like game this is the game

### 5/5 — This game did probably as good as Bus Derby

*2026-07-22, version 1.3.1*

This game was probably a step up, the graphics are better, more content is added, but the replays at the end of the race are a little bit dumbed down, whenever you watch the replay, you can only focus on your car, but not the other guys cars. Probably because there is more cars in the races. Also, there is no custom races, which kind of sucks.

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2026-07-22, version 1.3.1*

Awesome

### 5/5 — Best game 👻

*2026-07-17, version 1.3.1*

This game was so fun to play. It is one of my favorite games. I like the Cars.
