### 4/5 — New Cars

*2026-07-20, version 1.7.2*

The new cars (quad and bike) won't unlock for me, even though I'm fame level 11. Please fix this!

### 4/5 — SO GOOD but just a couple recommendations

*2026-04-26, version 1.7.2*

OK this is a very good game SO there is only 2 things I HAVE TO say……. I wish getting coins could be easier IT IS SOOO HARD and also I wish you could pick if you do 1v1 or 2v2 and THATS it……

### 2/5 — Crash issues

*2026-04-25, version 1.7.2*

To be concise. The game crashes more often than the cars. 
If it didn’t it would be the perfect toilet game.

### 3/5 — Good direction but missing some key elements.

*2026-04-09, version 1.7.2*

I used to play the old drive ahead game back when it was a lot more simple, which I really enjoyed, however that game is now fraction of what it once.
BUT. This game is reminds me of the older games and is a actually a lot of fun. I really appreciate the simplicity of play but it is definitely missing some key elements:

-Mode selector; pretty simple fix I cant believe this isn’t in the game (1v1,2v2)

-ranking system of some sort; Its kind of easy at the moment and would love more of a challenge

-more cars and tracks; kind of secondary at the moment but it definitely needs continued support as the current roster is a bit lackluster.

Apart from that I do love the gameplay, its an absolute blast. Please keep this game true to itself and don’t turn it into brawlhalla.

### 3/5 — Good game

*2026-02-10, version 1.7.1*

Good game, but gets boring after a while cause there’s no updates or events at all, plus sometimes randomly kicks you

### 3/5 — Buggie

*2026-01-30, version 1.7.1*

The game is fun but it freezes and crashes all the time. Also even though is says PVP I’m pretty sure it’s just the computer.

### 3/5 — Fun!!

*2026-01-21, version 1.7.1*

It's fun but I get bored playing the same 5 maps over and. Over an the same cars its unfair when yo get a tin ca then you can't do any thing, and there's so manyyyyy bugs but other than that good game!!

### 3/5 — Great game buuutt

*2026-01-11, version 1.7.1*

Whenever I’m trying to find a match randomly I’m kicked out the app or sent back if the match does work sometimes the screen is just black imand I have to restart

### 4/5 — Good but could be better

*2026-01-01, version 1.7.1*

The big cars almost always beat small cars. instead of putting many random cars,make them the same each battle

### 4/5 — Awesome game but…

*2025-12-20, version 1.7.1*

I absolutely LOVE THIS GAME!!!!!But sometimes when I am waiting to play against others I get kicked out and I have to close the tab and go back into the app. Or other times it takes me back to the main screen. Anyhow I really love the game when I actually get to play. Thank you!

### 2/5 — Decent game, skins are pointless

*2025-12-13, version 1.7.1*

This game would be more fun if it didn’t keep crashing!!! iPhone 16 pro and this app isn’t stable.

### 1/5 — How do we get the ambulance upgrade???

*2026-08-16, version 1.7.2*

What’s the point of teams if my teammate is trying to land on my head also? Please give the option to opt out of teams, or make it impossible to kill your teammate if you’re going to force that on us. 

I have so many coins and yet can’t buy any of the skins I want. All I want is the ambulance one. What is “fame” and is that a thing I need to be able to get more skins? Dumb. I’m a grownup and won’t admit to my peers that I play this, let alone ask any of them to join me. 

There’s potential here, but this plays more like a beta.

### 1/5 — Buggy

*2026-02-22, version 1.7.1*

Constantly crashes and drops matches

### 1/5 — Локальная игра

*2026-01-23*

Те кто решил, что управление для двоих игроков нужно сделать исключительно с использованием дополнительного контроллера я вас искренне ненавижу

**Developer response:** What exactly do you dislike about the current version of the game? We're open to player feedback and would love to hear your input.

### 1/5 — I don't really know why this is so highly rated?

*2025-12-27, version 1.7.1*

The original drive ahead had a lot of good stuff with the crazy and wacky cars you could have, like stuff with maces and such. This game doesn't, and one of the best parts of the game is playing on 2v2 games, which I don't really think is in regular drive ahead? But you can't even elect to do that, you are randomly put into 1v1 or 2v2. I also enjoyed the difficult bosses in regular drive ahead, but that might just be me. Regardless, I can't really see why you would play this over drive ahead

### 1/5 — Игра хорошая, но…

*2025-12-23*

При подборе матча с интернетом тупо вылет…

### 1/5 — Great game, won’t open anymore

*2025-11-03, version 1.7*

This used to be an amazing Apple Arcade game. I played it ever since it came out, but now ever since the newest update it won’t open. Fix ASAP.

### 5/5 — Great game

*2026-07-29, version 1.7.2*

It’s a great game and it’s really cool. But maybe you could ad another game mode where people race in the original vehicles to a finish line but if another person or something in the map hits you head you’d have to start over.

### 5/5 — Great game

*2026-06-01, version 1.7.2*

No ads awesome. I love the design. I love how you can go off-line or online great game.

### 5/5 — Best game ever but

*2026-05-20, version 1.7.2*

This game is the best and I’ve played it since it came out. But a lot of the times there’s a glitch for when I click the play button, as usual it loads the arenas but before it lands on one, it sometimes takes me out of the game so I always have to restart it and click it again. It’d be great if you could fix it. But still overall amazing game!

### 5/5 — Best game ever

*2026-04-02, version 1.7.2*

Game is the best smashing everybody

### 5/5 — More stadiums

*2026-03-21, version 1.7.2*

I like all the stadiums already, but there are only 5 stadiums to play in I think that there should be at least 3 more and then, instead of the game picking them randomly, I think there should be a voting system like in LEGO BRAWLS, and instead of just having 1v1 I think that you should have 3v3 as the default and then let them choose if they want    to have 1v1 or 2v2 or 4v4 matches. On 1v1s or 2v2s that’s when the game should pick randomly because there aren’t enough players to vote for a stadium. But other than that, I love CARCADE

### 5/5 — Drive Ahead! Carcade

*2026-03-13, version 1.7.2*

I like the battle

### 5/5 — Great game overall

*2026-03-13, version 1.7.2*

It’s a great game, but as an older Gen Z, the graphics are a little too bright and colorful. It makes it feel like it is marketed towards Gen Alpha. However, the gameplay is amazing, I love the simplicity of the battles. The online multiplayer is cool too, it’s quick to connect, though I’m not if I’m playing with bots or real players. Overall, it’s pretty good though, just wish it was a bit less dopamine heavy.

### 5/5 — Nice

*2026-01-18*

Nice game but I can’t play games easily but I don’t have any network issues other games work properly but not this one I can’t play matches whenever I click on play please fix it and please solve your support page It can’t open
