## What is Garage 54?

This is the official game of the YouTube channel Garage 54, and it combines racing and a car mechanic simulator. In the game you will tune cars and drive them around the city, participating in various types of races.
Moreover, your character is a video blogger, so your successful actions will bring you new subscribers. And they, in turn, will bring more in-game income to your character. Are you ready to become a car mechanic, racer and advanced blogger at the same time?

Gameplay overview:
- You purchase a car, and initially it is in a deplorable state. You start tuning it using a variety of tools and spare parts.
- First you do the bodywork: rust cleaning, primer, painting and so on. After that, upgrade the engine, gearbox and suspension. If you wish to change the drive, you can do it as well. Finally, you can replace the wheels with... steeper wheels.
- If such straightforward and ordinary tuning is just not cool enough for you, you can perform some weird things as well - just like the stuff from the Garage 54 channel. For example, what happens if you cut a minivan in half? Try it and find out!
- When your car is good enough, you can test it in races. You can use modes such as sprint, ring and drift, as well as a free ride mode in a spacious city location.
- Each successful tuning and each race won bring you new subscribers. The more subscribers - the more in-game currency you get every day, and more money means more cars and car experiments!

- 👍 Good game with loads of potential

**Cons**

- 🐛 Too many ads to play for any amount of time
- 🐛 Experience so far has been a bit clunky
- 🐛 Pay for ads to be removed? Maybe it'll happen. Buy a car required to film the next video? Game doesn't recognize that you bought it. Try to find same model for sale in market? The one you have just got downgraded… lots of potential and fun, but lots of bugs and rarely updated
- 🐛 Purchased the non-adverts for $2 but the banner ads are still present. Not only that but they seem to cause hang ups when the banner ads change
- 🐛 The google ads on the bottom of the screen block what looks like there may be buttons, but they can't be closed
- 🐛 The game is extremely short and lacks serious content. The ads are unacceptable. Every 5 times you click an ad interrupts in the most intrusive way possible
- 🐛 There are a crazy amount of ads in the game and the money comes very slow. I hit a brick wall when it came to buying the van. I can barely afford the $4000 cars and all of a sudden the next vehicle I need is $30000? How does that make sense?
- 🐛 The game is very buggy and poor graphics even on high with a phone powerful enough to run it
- 🐛 Scaling for iPad needs work most things are overlapping and you can't select any other car than the TUZ 1906
- 🐛 Low quality graphics, many bugs. Can't play on my iPad because interface elements overlaps and I can't even buy second car
- 🐛 Игра получилась очень сырой и очень непонятной. Поспешили вы с презентацией этой игры

Здравствуйте уважаемые разработчики,
Игра ваша хорошая и интересная
Но есть ряд маленьких багов
Такие как
-время улучшения скачит с 1 минуты до 38 часов
-награда не соответствует(например гонка на 250 монет зачисляют 1000)
-на бордюрах игра начинает логать 
И может вообще выбросить из игры
