### 3/5 — Сойдут

*2025-10-08*

Ну скажем так, играть можно убив время в маршрутке. Никакого мультиплеера нет это тупо боты. Заданий нет, локаций тоже нет.

### 5/5 — Fun

*2023-08-26*

Great game just wish they has less ads or an option to pay for no ads

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback and we are sorry for the Ads. We will improve in the future and we will try to keep the Ads from interfering. Thank you

### 2/5 — Potentially a  1 5 star game DEVS!! READ!!

*2022-06-15*

This game feels unfinished. Here is what would make your game prosper and a game I myself would put money into. 
Adding more cars
Player color customizations maybe a few after market cosmetics and vinyls
A player shop to make in game purchases with in game currency. Said cosmetics for cars or customizations.
Add on to player shop to purchase in game currency  with actual currency to fund upgrades for this game that could be really good.

**Developer response:** We've forwarded your feedback to our developers. Thank you for taking the time to send us your suggestions!

### 4/5 — Amazing Overall. But a few updates and crashes a lot.

*2022-02-22*

To the developers of this game.

So, When I first downloaded this game is was exciting but after a few weeks. It started crashing every time I click on the game. I did a IOS update and restarted my iPad 3 times, Please fix this if you can. Also can you add more cars here are some ideas. Bugatti Chiron, Lamborghini and the new Mustang. Can you also add codes challenges, Tournaments for money and cars. and we need more apps not a garage and a parking lot. and the wheels burst to fast can you do like free play and add cameras so I can change the view it be so much easier. Overall I love the app, Keep up the good wok developers!

Sincerely, Christian Jones

This games awesome, it’s like drifting RC cars. Passes the time, and the graphics are A1!

**Developer response:** Thank you. We are happy to know you like it. Please check out our other games.

### 4/5 — KEEP ON UPDATING!! ... MAD HOOK HAS THE FORMULA !

*2021-10-18*

Fire game.  making an "ad-free" paid option with a one time fee in the settings to combat the many ads within the gameplay would be even more fire  plus everyone loves in-game purchases as well 🤔🤔.  adding more f and g body style cars ('84 and newer.. maybe even some 325ci's. you know like the ones you see in the streets of Oakland 😂🤔.. Night drifting would be fire too 🤔 making the rounds a little longer would keep us entertained more ..

**Developer response:** Thank you for your suggestions. We will recommend them to the related department.

### 5/5 — Dope game

*2021-10-04*

The drifting physics are great and I like the style and perspective it’s in. If they were to add customization to the cars and more vehicles with it this would be a top tier car game for sure. Keep the updates coming.

**Developer response:** We've forwarded your feedback to our developers. Thank you for taking the time to send us your suggestions!
