Space mountain is a great ride

### 1/5 — Super buggy

*2020-12-01, version 2.5.3*

Bad enough you’re prompting me to pay to remove ads before I’ve seen more than one car nor more than one track, but when neither “yes” nor “no” actually do anything and I have to keep re-loading the game to get past it, you’re just not ready to be out of private beta-testing.

I like the game but there are only 3 cars and they look the same no multiplayer and the AI are so easy

### 2/5 — No ar

*2020-05-25, version 2.5.3*

There seems to be no ar mode 😔 even though it has no ar mode it’s still a cool racing game. Written by a 10 year old kid
