### 2/5 — What happened

*2025-09-26, version 2.2.0*

Update.  Game seems to be getting worse.  Catch up boost of the NPC cars is getting ridiculous.  Even in the easy restricted lower game,  the cars will just disappear ……. Used to really like this game.   It not any fun to play anymore.  Luckily madskills moto is still out there…….

This game used to
Be really fun to play.  But 6 or so months ago an update made the catch up speed of the competitors ridiculous.  I keep trying to like the game again, but it is impossible.  Also, somehow in can’t seem to ever be able to upgrade any of the new vehicles.  I have 56million gold coins, but they are useless.  This is the worst turbozilla game.

### 4/5 — Bot Are Too Aggressive

*2025-08-31, version 2.2.0*

The game is alright but the bots are way too aggressive. That's the biggest issue I'm having, some races are already difficult enough and having bots go out of there way to ram me is just so unnecessary and so unfair, they don't even do it to each other, just the player. This makes the game very hard to play for me.

### 4/5 — Good game

*2025-01-11, version 2.2.0*

Needs polishing

### 4/5 — Plus de map

*2025-01-09*

Quand est ce que les Map après USA sont dispo?
Il serait bien d’avoir un mode classée avec plus de récompenses

**Developer response:** EnModeNeyek, nous ne savons pas encore quand nous publierons une nouvelle zone, mais le mode classé/compétitif est bien avancé et nous le lancerons dès que possible. Si vous souhaitez rejoindre l'équipe bêta pour nous aider à le tester, veuillez envoyer un e-mail à support@turborilla.com. Merci pour vos retours !

### 2/5 — Fun but some Game Dynamics are Not Good

*2024-12-25, version 2.2.0*

This game could be fun but it’s pretty frustrating. When using boost, all the cars in your race boost at the same time. What’s the point of boost if you can’t use it strategically? When other cars use boost, your car does not. Makes no sense. Car upgrades are ridiculous. If you max out on a certain part, you will keep getting upgrades for that same part. You will end up with a lot of gold coins and nothing to use them on. Because you need to get the upgrade “cards” to upgrade the part or car. What’s the point of the gold coins then? Overall, there are many details in this game that are not good. The racing part can be fun.

### 3/5 — Lost progress

*2024-12-07, version 2.1.1*

Lost all my progress so not as happy as I would be

### 3/5 — Having problems

*2024-11-19, version 2.1*

This has been a great game, but recently it’s been having a problem, when I get to the extra lane that has like the joker hat there are three x’s and I can’t go through, the same three x’s are on the normal lane but they don’t stop me, I really want to keep playing this game, but I can’t anymore

### 3/5 — Gutes Spiel

*2024-11-19*

Spiel macht mega Spaß und echt gute Steuerung. Bei mir ist es leider so, dass ich die Abzweigung die man einmal pro spiel fahren muss aus welchem Grund auch immer nicht fahren kann. Das raubt einem leider den Spielspaß. Ansonsten echt ein top spiel schade das ich es so nicht mehr weiter spielen kann.

**Developer response:** Hallo nikkerosd,

Vielen Dank für dein Feedback und das Melden des Problems mit der Joker-Runde. Wir haben dieses Problem in unserem letzten Update behoben. Bitte aktualisiere das Spiel auf die neueste Version, um die Korrektur zu erhalten. Wir entschuldigen uns für die Unannehmlichkeiten und hoffen, dass du das Spiel nun wieder voll genießen kannst.

### 4/5 — New glitch in game!!!

*2024-11-18, version 2.1*

Been playing for a while now and all of a sudden where the track forks for the joker lane and main track they are both blocked with X’s and can’t go past that part of the track, like I hit a wall….

### 2/5 — Early release fun

*2024-11-18, version 2.1*

Fun to drive and slide around. Even with the joker lap it doesn’t feel like mariokart where if ur the leader then you’re a sitting duck. The pack duration and lack of ads for free coins/gems is unique. Ads for coins/gems would actually be appreciated. I’d like the option to use coins for parts that are needed for enhancing my car. Not necessarily bad, but there will be a bit of a grind for certain parts. Additional modes and online play will only strengthen this game so I could see 5 star potential depending on how the developers proceed.

Edit. Update based on inclusion of nitro cross. The rubber banding is extremely unfair to people that don’t pay to play. Impossible to unlock the car. Then when u have a good race the joker lane is blocked. Another promising start to a game that gets greedy.

### 2/5 — Joker lanes not working for the past few days.

*2024-11-16, version 2.1*

The game has been ok but now the Joker lanes are blocked and you can’t drive through.  
Even the main tracks have barricades but you can drive through.

### 3/5 — It won’t let me go threw the joker lane

*2024-11-15, version 2.1*

It’s a really fun game but the joker lane is an invisible wall. Every time I try to go threw it I get stopped and reset

### 2/5 — Joker lane blocked

*2024-11-15, version 2.1*

Since the last update the joker lane is blocked on all tracks. I cannot take joker lane and it penalizes my time on the regular tracks and event tracks.

### 3/5 — Joker lane bug

*2024-11-15*

The lane isn’t accessible anymore. Fix this!!

**Developer response:** Thanks for your report! We fixed the joker lane problem, and the update is available. Please give it a try and let us know if you have further issues.

### 4/5 — Joker Lane Blocked

*2024-11-15, version 2.1*

Why is the joker lane blocked?

### 2/5 — I can’t do joker way

*2024-11-15, version 2.1*

The game is good I wish no destroy with publi like mad skill 3. I don’t understand why I can’t get the joker line. In all race I have the same problem and is frustrate.

### 1/5 — Not worth it

*2025-12-26, version 2.2.0*

Used to love this game.  But the updates have made it unplayable.  What is the point of building boost if the bots not using boost stay with you while using your boost.   I am writing this review then deleting the game

### 1/5 — Bah

*2025-04-06, version 2.2.0*

Potenziale alto , ma oramai di tempo ne è passato e non è migliorato nulla , anzi.
Gare del weekend, unica novità, risultano una pagliacciata ingiocabile..nessun obbiettivo, campionato, sfida ghost on line … niente di niente 
Spiace

### 1/5 — Ruined

*2024-12-25, version 2.2.0*

They updated the game and now all my progress has been erased. Horrible game, horrible company

### 1/5 — Game broken

*2024-11-18, version 2.1*

I can’t take joker laps anymore. The game is broken.

### 1/5 — Joker lap never works

*2024-11-18, version 2.1*

Great game but you can never take the joker lap meaning it’s impossible to win. Bug ruins game.

### 1/5 — Bug

*2024-11-16*

### 1/5 — Game breaking glitch

*2024-11-14, version 2.1*

Hey all, I currently have a game breaking glitch where the game will not let me get through any joker lanes. It blocks me as an impenetrable wall. Please help, love the game, will change rating when fixed :(

### 5/5 — Bro this is a w game ngl

*2026-08-14, version 2.2.0*

I've been searching for a game like this for years I rarely get adds it's fun and it's asum turbo gorilla are just w devs I have all the motor cross games and their sick I highly recommend this game

### 5/5 — Very well done!

*2026-01-22, version 2.2.0*

Been really enjoying this game! The cars handle nice and I really like that it’s portrait mode. Card collecting and upgrading is fun and something I look forward to. Coins and gems come at a decent rate if you watch the ads for extra.

How do you unlock the 4th and 5th vehicle slots?

When watching an ad maybe 1 out of 5 times when it returns to the game there is no sound anymore. Force app restart is only fix I’ve found.

Thank you!!!

### 5/5 — Geil

*2025-04-14*

Richtig geiles Game, aber es wäre cool wenn es noch einen Multiplayer Mode geben würde in dem man auch gegen Freunde spielen kann und wenn die Events auch in der Woche stattfinden würden 

Bug:
Bei mir ist es so das wenn man auf der map La Edenlip in Frankreich in der 1. Runde in die Joker line fährt wird man wieder auf die normale Strecke zurück teleportiert hatte diesen Bug jetzt schon dreimal in Folge ich hoffe ihr könnt das fixen

### 5/5 — Fun game

*2024-11-16, version 2.1*

The turning is very fun to master

### 5/5 — Divertit i amb publicitat opcional

*2024-11-01, version 2.0*

Està divertit i la publicitat escolleixes tu quan veure-la per obtenir components.

### 5/5 — Best Game

*2024-10-30, version 2.0*

I’ve been playing rallyclash/ rallycross for a while now, and I love how hard the devs work to improve the gameplay experience and overall mechanics. The team is constantly taking feedback from community desires and improving. The maps are ultra fun and the cars are super customizable and easy to build. Going for leaderboards is too fun and setting faster times while finding faster corners is always a blast. The ONLY thing I’ve always wanted is to not grab duplicate cards out of packs - ones that I’ve already maxed out - because it personally feels wasteful. I also understand the flip side to changing that mechanic and how it could be less incentivizing. Overall this game is a solid 9+/10 and you would be wasting your time as a gearhead not playing this in your free time.

### 5/5 — Neue Länder aber bestes Spiel nebenbei bemerkt

*2024-10-15*

Es wäre schön wenn demnächst neue Länder mit mehr Strecken kommen  und mehr Runden

**Developer response:** Hallo! Vielen Dank für dein tolles Feedback. Wir arbeiten aktiv an neuen Strecken und weiteren Updates. Bleib dran, es kommt noch mehr!
