Give me an update to keep it fresh. ### 1/5 — ( read this before buying ) *2025-01-08, version 1.16* Yo del why do I need to spend two dollars to get a car that is not fair make it free ne ### 1/5 — This was just awful *2024-10-08, version 1.16* 😭😭😭 ### 4/5 — Good game but…. *2024-03-02, version 1.1* Needs a system to change the song as you are driving. ### 4/5 — Constantly crashing! *2023-12-08* I really, really like the game. It’s one of those games I can just get sucked into and play endlessly… until it crashes. I wanna keep breaking my high scores, going for ridiculously long runs but the game constantly and randomly crashes, often times while I’m in the middle of a really good run. Fix that and it’d be a 5/5 easy. Running on an iPhone 14 Plus, I expect better performance. **Developer response:** The new update should remedy this performance problem! ### 5/5 — Just needs “A LITTLE FINE TUNING”!!!! *2023-09-18* Just downloaded this; i don’t know what people are on about considering this game came out “JUST THIS YEAR” ;jerks….. But I will say this: THE STEERING NEEDS A SENSITIVITY SETING; i feel that if you can “FINE TUNE THAT” this game would be “VERY PLAYABLE” It is a very great idea; and since i was born in 1986; a MUST DOWNLOAD on my device… HOPE YOU CONTINUE WORKING ON THIS; IT IS WORTH IT’ PERIOD!!!! Update: Thank You for “TIGHTENING UP” the “STEERING” a little; “THE CAR IS NOT A SHOPPING CART ANYMORE”!!!! Update 2: You “NEED” to “GET RID OF THE COUNTDOWN TIMER” And use those yellow cassettes for “A DIFFERENT PURPOSE”!!! Usually “COUNTDOWN TIMERS” are there to test your Ability to get from “POINT A” to “POINT B” as “FAST AS YOU CAN” but since your car “ONLY” travels “AT CRUISING SPEED” and not “FULL THROTTLE” in this Game; it “REALLY” kills “THE RELAXING VIBE” people “ARE LOOKING FOR” in a “GAME OF THIS NATURE” I know you probably don’t have the budget of “Pixel Perfect Studios” and you probably will just “ROLL YOUR EYES” at this literal “GAME CHANGING” suggestion but; i believe that “86 ing” “THE COUNTDOWN TIMMER” would “NOT” be such “A BAD IDEA”…… ### 5/5 — Just needs “A LITTLE FINE TUNING”!!!! *2023-08-26* Just downloaded this; i don’t know what people are on about considering this game came out “JUST THIS YEAR” ;jerks….. But I will say this: THE STEERING NEEDS A SENSITIVITY SETING; i feel that if you can “FINE TUNE THAT” this game would be “VERY PLAYABLE” It is a very great idea; and since i was born in 1986; a MUST DOWNLOAD on my device… HOPE YOU CONTINUE WORKING ON THIS; IT IS WORTH IT’ PERIOD!!!! Update: Thank You for “TIGHTENING UP” the “STEERING” a little; “THE CAR IS NOT A SHOPPING CART ANYMORE”!!!! ### 5/5 — Difficult game, but cool idea! *2023-07-22* Def is a difficult game to master, and I def wish it was a little easier, but it’s a cool game and it deserves more downloads! ## Frequently asked questions about Florida Interstate '86 ### What is Florida Interstate '86?
