I can’t advance anymore and am about to just delete it ### 3/5 — Update *2025-09-11, version 2025.8.282* When’s the new update ### 3/5 — I love *2025-08-05* Absolutely love the game…But, it’s kinda annoying how fast energy drains no matter what multiplier you use. I also think the game could have some more cars. I’m very excited for future updates and more! ### 3/5 — review *2025-04-23, version 2025.4.359* good game, just needs an offline mode ### 2/5 — Wow! *2025-01-14* DO NOT GET THIS GAME!!! I have been waiting a month for a car to restore! It is ridiculous having to wait on a car to restore! I have restored 8 cars and the 3rd car l had to wait forever to get now, this time it’s been over a month without any car at all to restore! I will be erasing this game unless this issue is fixed! Very disappointed! ### 4/5 — Libya *2025-01-13* This game is amazing, but I can’t move to the next level, which is the ninth car. Please resolve this issue and let me know how to fix it. ### 4/5 — Fun *2025-01-12* This game is fun and helps to pass the time. Only complaint I have is I have completed all the cars and no new ones have been added. I have been done with all cars since early November. No new cars added, only updates that have took the ability to get gems away which has limited the amount I can play… ### 2/5 — Game gets worse with each update *2024-12-27* Game was fun originally but you quickly max out on cars and every update only brings changes that take away from game. Took out ability to earn chests which would give gems, making challenges more difficult but not adding any rewards, making opening crates cost energy… But not one of these updates have added a single car. Game gets worse with each update, until they give something positive with an update I wouldn’t recommend downloading. **Developer response:** Hi, thank you for your feedback. We are looking to add more cars soon! ### 2/5 — Wow! *2024-12-22* It is ridiculous having to wait on a car to restore! I have restored 4 cars and the 3rd car l had to wait forever to get now, this time it’s been over a week without any car at all to restore! I will be erasing this game unless this issue is fixed! Very disappointed! ### 4/5 — Fun *2024-12-09* This game is fun and helps to pass the time. Only complaint I have is I have completed all the cars and no new ones have been added. ### 3/5 — Update? *2024-12-02, version 2024.11.389* Its been a month and no update?🥺 ### 4/5 — Gear hill *2024-11-18, version 2024.11.253* It’s a good way to pass the time for a Car guy ### 3/5 — Paying to take off car parts *2024-11-11, version 2024.11.253* You should not have to pay to take off car parts as it is very unrealistic in this type of game other than this the game is pretty good ### 2/5 — Fun but annoying *2024-10-16* He game is fun but only being able to play it for 5 minutes and then running out of energy and having to wait hours to play again for only 5 minutes it’s frustrating. If you don’t pay for gems you basically can’t play this game for longer than 5 minutes at a time. Plus the actually game takes forever to make progress. I’m on car 3 of the game and it takes a day just to restore one part. It’s clearly pay walled for progress or lack of content. Couldn’t tell you which it is because the energy system is so terrible. Either give us the ability to have a significantly higher energy cap then 100 or drastically reduce the waiting time for energy. It’s basically unplayable after car 2 which is really frustrating. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Devs, we need an update *2025-12-19* What the actual f, devs? It’s been ages with zero updates – no new cars, no fresh content, nothing but the same old grind while my cash and parts stack up like useless digital garbage. I’m sitting here with enough resources to fully upgrade a dozen new rides in one gosh darn tap, but guess what? There are no new rides! This is killing the vibe faster than a rusted-out engine. The game itself is solid as hell, easily a 5-star banger with that addictive loop. But this neglect from the devs? Straight-up bs. Dropping it to 1 star until you get your bums in gear. ### 1/5 — Wow! *2025-10-23* DO NOT GET THIS GAME!!! I have been waiting a month for a car to restore!

Very disappointed! ### 1/5 — Please Update *2025-05-31, version 2025.5.634* Which I could actually race like car game instead of pretending to race. Repetitive game. Wish there was a way to merge items faster and build cars faster. Look at CSR Racing. That is my dream for this game. What happened to chairs/detour signs? They just vanished. ### 1/5 — Please Update *2025-05-18* Which I could actually race like car game instead of pretending to race. Repetitive game. Wish there was a way to merge items faster and build cars faster. Look at CSR Racing. That is my dream for this game. ### 1/5 — Crates and trophies are useless. *2025-03-05* The crates are annoying and really don’t have anything in them worth 100 energy. Need to be able to delete them instead of getting conned into using energy on items you neither want nor need. The trophies are worthless as well. ### 1/5 — Crates ugh!! *2025-01-16* The crates are annoying and really don’t have anything in them worth 100 energy. Need to be able to delete them instead of getting conned into using energy on items you neither want nor need. ### 1/5 — Nice game but… *2025-01-04, version 2024.12.232* Played everyday for almost a month, spent $80+ but today all of the sudden the game crushed on me and after I restarted it, all of my progress was erased and all of my purchases was gone, very disappointed ### 1/5 — Car update *2024-12-21, version 2024.12.232* Mine just reset me to the beginning again 🤦🏿‍♂️ Again… 🤔. It restarts with every update ### 1/5 — Car update *2024-12-12* Mine just reset me to the beginning again 🤦🏿‍♂️ ### 1/5 — Was fun until updates *2024-11-30* Well it turned into a money grubbing game like most do. Was good at first when u could watch videos for energy and now that has been cut out. Another good game lost to greed. **Developer response:** Hi, we have some difficulties with our ads but will turn them back on as soon as possible. Thank you for your patience ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great but need update asap *2025-08-04* Love the game but just got to where i cant play anymore need a update asap ### 5/5 — Update?? *2025-06-20* When is the new update coming???? ### 5/5 — Slow but awesome *2025-04-15, version 2025.4.283* Speed it up ### 5/5 — Rattler *2024-12-05, version 2024.11.389* Awesome and addictive.
