### 1/5 — Boring, annoying

*2018-10-19, version 1.15*

Single tap, built for ads.

### 3/5 — Arcade

*2018-08-05, version 1.15*

Eh it's a reaction thing. I prefer Zap Bear.

### 5/5 — Got it just for the Ace Ventura reference

*2018-05-25, version 1.15*

LLIKE A GLLLLOVE!!!!!

### 3/5 — Fun game, annoying ads

*2018-05-09, version 1.1*

Tried to remove the ads by in-game purchase, but the button doesn’t do anything.

### 2/5 — Physics make no sense.

*2018-04-24, version 1.1*

I guess it could be considered a fun game, but the physics are completely out of whack. Fast cars drift at the same rate as slow cars, big cars drift at the same rate as small cars, everything is always at the same rate no matter what. I feel that if you were to make a game about “drifting”, you should actually study the physics of drifting. 
Also, as people have said previously, the difficulty is also ridiculous. Not because it’s hard, but because it doesn’t go by any linear scale of difficulty. It’s completely random and doesn’t make any sense. It doesn’t seem as though much thought was put into the deeper parts of this game, simply “how it looks” and “if it works”.

### 2/5 — Great game, but.....

*2018-01-08, version 1.1*

I love the game, but it gets really aggravating at times when you lose all because there's a sudden parking spot right behind the street signs. There's no way you can tell when it's coming up if it's hidden behind the signs.

### 1/5 — Too many ads

*2017-12-28, version 1.1*

It says one ad every 5 game, but it’s more like every one or two. Please fix this

### 4/5 — Needs linear difficulty

*2017-11-11, version 1.1*

This app is not as popular because the difficulty is set to random instead of incremental.

### 5/5 — I love it

*2017-09-14, version 1.1*

I just downloaded it and I love it!

### 1/5 — Hate it

*2017-08-02, version 1.1*

So many ads take them off 😡😤😤😤😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡
