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. ### 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. ### 4/5 — Simple, fun *2015-07-03, version 1.2.1* Simple game, controls are easy, challenges are fun. It does need more updates though as I've completed all the career races. ### 5/5 — Good game *2015-06-23, version 1.2.1* Got this free with a Starbucks offer, makes a change to get something worth playing - pretty hard as you progress but fun and addictive. ### 3/5 — Game is ok, sequential win idea is terrible. *2015-06-06, version 1.2.1* Sequential win medals are a terrible idea as each race in the higher difficulty is just too unpredictable to be able to make this a reasonably achievable challenge, even with the vehicle upgraded to the maximum. CPU cars can comfortably boost and go full whack on the later races as if they can perfectly judge upcoming track that a human couldn't see. Fun game overall, starts off a nice challenge, then reaches a point where you think "this is just plain unfair". I like games to be really challenging and tough, but they have to be fair too. ### 2/5 — It was good for a while... *2015-05-30, version 1.2.1* It was good for a while then I maxed out my car and now I'm really bored with it and have 1,000,000 dollars to spend on there and can't because I already have everything. ### 3/5 — Good simple fun *2015-05-20, version 1.2.1* This is a good game to pass ten minutes, maybe more of you get addicted, but you soon start to loose passion when you realise your money does not add up, you seem to get say 3000 for one race, then do another race and get 200, then all this is in your garage money is the 200, basically the garage money is based on your last race? Why! The money should be reduced per race but build up. Good clean game Overpriced slightly Not many features Good graphics/ features (e.g damage and wheels fall off) Fun controls ### 2/5 — Painful to play *2015-05-18, version 1.2.1* Horrible controls. So frustrating to play. Have no idea why you even drift, there is zero benefit ### 4/5 — Okay/good *2015-05-14, version 1.2.1* I think that the app is good. I thought that the car was hard to navigate. The controls are fine, but I would have liked more control on the car. Although, I do understand that it is supposed to "drift". I also think that to get to the second level, you shouldn't have to be in the top 3. Maybe the top 5. Then it can become harder. Hope this is appreciated! ### 5/5 — Great *2015-05-12, version 1.2.1* I like the game a lot, but I think the controls should be a little better and maybe release some updates for the garage upgrades ### 4/5 — Not for money but good *2015-05-11, version 1.2.1* I got this for free with a Starbucks thing and although at first I was like what even but if you give it a chance it's really great ### 4/5 — Its a fun game! *2015-05-09, version 1.2.1* It's a fun little game! Controls aren't that bad, just have to get the hang of it. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Deserves no stars *2015-12-20, version 1.2.2* Dont waste your money or time on this. The controls are easily the worst I've ever seen; it is impossible to play this game. I play a lot of IOS games and review many of them as well. I always try to find the positives in everything, but that simply doesn't exist here. BAD. ### 1/5 — Save your money *2015-06-21, version 1.2.1* This is the first time I have written a review. I had to write because this game is SO HORRIBLY made. There are 3 modes of steering and 2 say that it is not intended to be steered in that manner. The intended method was a joke and the car kept turning 180 and headed back to the start. Tapping left and right merely sends it to the trees and I have no idea how speed is managed. Not fun. Merely frustrating. I deleted it before it could irritate my kid. What a joke. ### 1/5 — Tiny cars, impossible to control *2015-06-04, version 1.2.1* Forgettable game, no entertainment value, boring, not the best graphics. Tries to be a physics game and a racing game but fails at both. ### 1/5 — Frustrating *2015-05-19, version 1.2.1* It's extremely difficult to control the cars. Barely touching the screen causes the cars spin out of control. I'm deleting this app. I use apps to make my life easier not to stress me out. ### 1/5 — Frustrating controls will make you want to break phone *2015-05-16, version 1.2.1* The controls make this game too difficult to enjoy coupled with how readily the computer sends you into the dirt as they drive past without any way of catching up. ### 1/5 — ** AWEFUL ** *2015-05-13, version 1.2.1* This app is NOT worth the bandwidth to download it for free. It is bad! Frustrating! Hard to control! Starbucks should be ashamed by this garbage! ### 1/5 — Awful, frustrating controls. Needs MAJOR work. *2015-05-03, version 1.2.1* I got this app as a Starbucks free download of the week. The game play in this app is EXTREMELY FRUSTRATING, and not intuitive. The briefest tap sends your car jolting off the race track. Very poorly designed. And all of the "good reviews" are obviously BOGUS! Apple: kick this one out of the App Store! ### 1/5 — Controls are terrible *2015-04-29, version 1.2.1* I know it's supposed to be a "drifting" car game but the controls are just so difficult to maneuver; delete! ### 1/5 — This game is dumb AF *2015-04-25, version 1.2.0* Don't waste your time. The vehicle will not steer and it's more frustrating than fun. ### 1/5 — hard to steer *2015-04-20, version 1.2.0* I'm having the hardest time just trying to steer my guy. played for about 5 min. and then got frustrated and deleted. thankfully I got it for free from a Starbucks app of the week card. don't waste your money. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 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! ### 5/5 — Excellent!!! *2016-02-28, version 1.2.2* If you like small cars racing you will knot be able to put this game down! It is EXTREMELY difficult to make a racing game that nails down the balance between playability and learning curve just difficult enough to keep you playing and this game does it PERFECT!! ### 5/5 — Difficult Game *2016-01-14, version 1.2.2* I got the free activation code from Starbucks for this game. Controls are not easy to master, takes time. AI is pretty good, they actually can avoid your attack. Ovr it's a good game to try. If it's a 1 dollar game, I suggest you to buy it 'cause it worths; 2 dollars? Think about it first. ### 5/5 — Nice *2016-01-07, version 1.2.2* Nice ### 5/5 — Addicting *2015-12-31, version 1.2.2* Amazing game with races typically lasting about 30 seconds. You don't have time to regret that time you got stuck in a 20 car pile-up in your last race before hitting the replay button to redeem yourself.
