I prefer Zap Bear. ### 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. ### 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. ### 4/5 — Awesome *2017-05-26, version 1.1* Little repetitive but overall a really great game ### 3/5 — Addicting but bland... *2017-02-07, version 1.1* It's pretty fun but gets boring after a while. You don't really unlock anything but a new high score :/ ### 3/5 — Fun but simple *2016-12-06, version 1.1* Fun little game, but didn’t hold my interest for a long time. Good option to remove ads for a low price. ### 2/5 — It's ok *2016-11-27, version 1.1* An already frustrating game with ADVERTS!!!!!! I Deleted it because of adverts ### 2/5 — Controls aren't consistent *2016-09-21, version 1.0* The brakes and speed need to adjusted. Or a car with poor brakes should be denoted/marked as such. It seems the cars would turn into the spots at different speeds. Good idea just need to tweak controls a bit. ### 3/5 — It's Ight *2016-08-06, version 1.0* It's Ight it's fun and all just to many ads it I think it could be better ### 3/5 — Add... *2016-07-18, version 1.0* As soon as you start the game your like, this is great game. Then after 2 runs that took 3 sec you get a 60sec add. 😔 ### 2/5 — More ads than game *2016-06-25, version 1.0* Dead simple casual game. I can play it one handed in like at Starbucks. But the lengthy video ada come up way too often and you can't quit them. Way way too many ads. Give us a $1 remove ad button or a $1 for 100 plays, or something. It probably cost me $20 in data charges to play these stinkin' ads. ### 4/5 — Modes... *2016-06-25, version 1.0* This is a very well made but simple game and I had an idea for this enjoyable and simplistic game. Modes: For e.g: Easy Mode: Slower cars, bigger gaps and wide roads. Normal Mode: The way the game is now. Hardcore Mode: Super Fast cars, Smaller gaps, cars coming the other way and thin roads. ### 2/5 — AAAAADS *2016-06-23, version 1.0* you play a few times - terrible video ads come up, that are hard to close. Worse than youtube. Sorry guys, you went a little overboard with it. Im not watching that crap. Deleted.. although its kind if pity - i think id really enjoy the game. ### 3/5 — Counting Doesn't Start At 0! *2016-06-17, version 1.0* Why is the first car "zero"? Did your mother never teach you that when counting things you start at one??? Words cannot explain how much I resent the fact that the counting starts at "zero." ### 4/5 — Fun, wish an options existed to relive ads *2016-06-12, version 1.0* I wish there was an upgrade to remove ads, and would like to see some unlocks available in the game to keep it new and exciting ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Boring, annoying *2018-10-19, version 1.15* Single tap, built for ads. ### 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 ### 1/5 — Hate it *2017-08-02, version 1.1* So many ads take them off 😡😤😤😤😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡 ### 1/5 — No remove ads option :( *2016-06-23, version 1.0* I would pay to remove ads. I don't let my kids play apps with ads. Deleted. ### 1/5 — Too many ads *2016-06-23, version 1.0* Game is alright and there are too many ads ### 1/5 — Poor developing *2016-06-23, version 1.0* The ads are annoying ### 1/5 — The video ads and link to app store ruins this game *2016-06-09, version 1.0* Look, the game is fun. And ads don't normally bother me too much...but this game plays ads very often, without warning and in full screen video mode. Some people have data caps! Also when you skip the ad or watch the whole thing it then takes you to the app store to purchase said rubbish spam product. Change this and its a 4 star title (could use a few tweaks like bonus points for perfect parks etc) ### 1/5 — Ads galore *2016-06-06, version 1.0* The ads were a real turn off. The game itself is alright. It would be worth playing if you didn't have to deal with watching an ad every few minutes. The mobile gaming industry is doomed. ### 1/5 — 😡😡😡😡😡 *2016-05-27, version 1.0* Alright game, but when I want to delete it from my home screen it freezes my phone for a good 2 minutes!!! Won't let me delete it!!!! ### 1/5 — Obnoxious advertising *2016-05-19, version 1.0* Would be a great game, but renders unplayable by needlessly obnoxious advertising. Don't bother. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Got it just for the Ace Ventura reference *2018-05-25, version 1.15* LLIKE A GLLLLOVE!!!!! ### 5/5 — I love it *2017-09-14, version 1.1* I just downloaded it and I love it! ### 5/5 — Great timekiller *2017-06-28, version 1.1* It's a great simple game that is fun in short bursts and the difficulty is nicely judged to be accessible yet increasingly challenging with each successive park. Nice graphics that run at a very smooth frame rate on an iPhone 6S. ### 5/5 — Love it *2017-04-01, version 1.1* This app really calms my nerves when I have a stomach ache. Love it. ### 5/5 — I'm the 1,000 downloader *2016-08-06, version 1.0* Oh yeah ### 5/5 — Good game *2016-06-22, version 1.0* I see that there are a lot of hate for how the ads pop up you can just disconnect from your wifi and then play they should also add a counter in the top left or right that says your high score ### 5/5 — Such an amazing game !!!! *2016-06-02, version 1.0* Awesome quality..... ### 5/5 — Great but needs a bit more *2016-05-29, version 1.0* I absolutely love the idea of the game, but I wish there was something like a hard mode where you could actually control the car or something. Also would be great if you got bonus points for parking closer to the cars in front or behind. Definitely worth the download! ### 5/5 — Writing review to screw up numbers *2016-05-10, version 1.0* You had 666 reviews so I'm writing one just to screw you over but hey at least I gave you 5 stars. ### 5/5 — Thanks for the great app - I like it! *2016-05-01, version 1.0* Ok, maybe it gets repetitive, but I think it's a fun little game Nice work from developer :) --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
