### 4/5 — 悔しくてついリプレイ

*2024-03-09*

iPhone7(256G)、iOS15.8.1、アプリVer.1.2.5、動作問題なし。左右とブーストのみのシンプル操作、1レース十数秒(まだ序盤ですが)のお手軽さに加えて、ライバル車にぶつけられコース外に弾かれた時の悔しさから、隙間時間にちょっとのつもりが気付けば何度も遊んでいます。各部パワーアップでの操作感の変化も楽しい。良く出来たゲームです。

### 4/5 — Decent fun game

*2023-06-23, version 1.2.5*

I grew to really like this game. There's quite a rush taking first place on one of the 30 car races and holding it for the win. There's not a ton of longevity, once you've maxed out your car and done your best on the time trials, that's kind of it, but I keep coming back for a quick race now and again.

### 5/5 — Most Awesome & Challenging

*2022-09-08, version 1.2.5*

This game is fun and addictive and hard to put down. "Just one more race" is what I've been saying to myself in the two days that I've had this app. It's because the game will not give you an inch. You have to earn every incremental step you make towards 1st place. In the beginning the controls are difficult (very twitchy). But very soon after you start to appreciate them and how responsive they are – the car moves quickly and immediately when you press the buttons. Anyhow, I'll be playing this game for a long time until I conquer all races. But even after I do, I'll still want to conquer myself and continue to improve upon previous times. Just awesome! 

Update: BOOM!! Raritanium in all levels!

New update:  54 wins in a row at the very highest level. This game never gets old.

### 5/5 — Great game

*2021-12-20, version 1.2.5*

It gets tough near the end but with skill and perseverance it's possible to finish it. Very rewarding!

### 5/5 — good

*2021-10-12, version 1.2.4*

good

### 5/5 — :)

*2021-09-07, version 1.2.4*

Fun game but needs more updates and should get an online mode if there were more players

### 5/5 — Most challenging awesome game ever

*2017-01-09, version 1.2.2*

I didn't have to pay for this I went to Starbucks and gave me the code to get this for free.To be honest this game is awesome.The challenges never stop.Love it dude

### 5/5 — Great Game

*2016-07-02, version 1.2.2*

This is an amazing game! I recommend it to anyone. I just wish that local Bluetooth multiplayer would be added instead of everyone having to play on the same screen. Otherwise it is a great game!

### 2/5 — The JRPG of Racing Games

*2016-05-18, version 1.2.2*

Good driving mechanics spoiled by statistical scaling. Success does not feel like success nor does failure feel like failure.

### 2/5 — To frustrating

*2016-05-09, version 1.2.2*

I have never played a game where the game takes control of your equipment so much. Hit the wall and you get stuck for X seconds.  Hit a tire you loose control. Hit another car you loose controls. Etc etc etc. it seems like you never have it.
