### 5/5 — Great game

*2023-08-11*

Very fun and relaxing

### 4/5 — Fun game

*2022-10-02*

The game is enjoyable & good to pass time. I just wish there was an option to disable ads for a couple dollars like other game, since there’s an ad after almost every run attempt.

### 1/5 — WAYYY to easy

*2020-12-06*

You can get coins so fast that you can get 1,000,000 coins in two DAYS! Seriously though, I want the difficulty to be as Hill Climb Racing.

### 4/5 — Ultimatives spiel🙂🙂🙂

*2020-01-15*

Super auch wenn die Gravitation nicht wie hier ist

### 5/5 — A Great Game

*2019-04-01, version 1.1.0*

This a challenging game, hard to put down. There are good options for the upgrade of a single car. I’d like to see the ability to continue upgrading by offering other upgrade options past the single car option.

### 1/5 — Propaganda videos

*2019-01-05*

Let my grandson play what seemed like a harmless game until the relentless ads for Prager U right-wing propaganda videos started popping up.  For shame!  I will be deleting the game.
