I’ve played a few rounds. I paid for no ads and they continue to try and force ads on you for even the most basic activity in the game. Once I pay you for no ads, I expect NO ads at all. Anywhere. For anything except additional premium content. Also, the buttons are all broken on iPad play. Only works fully on iPhone. ### 1/5 — The Ads *2024-11-17* For some reason the don’t work ### 1/5 — Lilwolf527 *2021-11-11, version 3.3* Please change the camra mode and/or have modes and make more drivers and put racing and no levels it defeats the purpose I’m not enjoying it and instead of making it so you choose when we get to use the dog truck and the bus truck why not add it and please respond or add all my requests ### 2/5 — Don’t recommend unless you like sitting through ads even after paying for an app… *2025-08-22, version 4.3* I decided to pay the $3.99 to let my 4 year old be able to play sometimes… there’s still ads everywhere. After purchase, their wording was something like “no more FORCED ads” …huh?? Generally when you pay for an app, that eliminates ads. That’s the whole point. In order to play the game you have no choice but to watch ads even after paying. I never pay for apps for a 4 year old unless it’s educational and worthwhile. I thought this would be a fun one, I was wrong. He can’t read everything and the ads in the game, per usual with app games, are set up so you have to watch them in order to continue or flash/pulse to get you’re attention so it looks like that’s the button you should push; very misleading and traps you into watching lengthy ads (again, even after paying for the app). In the small amounts of ad free times he can play, it’s fun and seems well made, hence the 2 stars and why I did go ahead and pay, but the fact that more time is spent waiting through ads after dropping the money is ridiculous. I cannot recommend this game to anyone at any age. I will be deleting this app and reporting to Apple this issue because it should not be allowed and was a misleading purchase. Don’t pay for this game. If you enjoy it, just continue to sit through the ads because you’ll be doing it anyway if you pay. ### 2/5 — Plz remove the ads for damage and wash *2024-02-29, version 4.3* Why because I have to do it so many times it’s so annoying but good game and add more arenas and stadiums ### 2/5 — Add please and fix *2022-09-29, version 3.3* Customizable trucks and colors also level 20 and up the game is broken. When time is up nothing happens you have to exit out. Fix please. Re downloaded the game because it crashes after level 20 and it has ads again even though i paid 3 dollars to not have them. So be wary of purchase ### 3/5 — Fun Game but Menu could be better *2023-01-11, version 3.3* I’ve played this game for a few hours and it’s pretty fun! However, there are some areas for improvement. About half of games start with an ad. This is fine, I know you need to make money and $3 is a good price to play ad-free. The issue is that the match doesn’t wait for the ad to finish before starting, so the player is forced to restart the match. There’s also no way to restart the level without going all the way back to the main menu. Sometimes, when you fail a mayhem level, it doesn’t take the player to an end screen and I have to go back to the main menu manually. When viewing levels, there’s no option to replay previous levels. Scrolling through the levels doesn’t tell you how many stars you’ve already earned on which levels. After selecting a game mode, there’s no way to go back to the main menu without starting a game and then exiting. Like I said before, the game is fun! The number of ads is very tolerable for being free. The menu just feels rushed. ### 3/5 — Good game but needs a fix *2022-07-04, version 3.3* At level twenty the game crashes after it’s completed it need to be fixed please ### 4/5 — VERY GOOD but better *2025-03-09, version 4.3* Look I know I like it in my iPad with an ads but the controls……..SO BAD ## Most praised reviews (3 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Grave digger Detroit 2018 *2024-03-31, version 4.3* Love the game but made a comparison with the drift king logo and the Burger King logo and for some reason I see that the both logos match the same ### 5/5 — Worst adds a whole time *2023-02-05, version 3.3* Number one travel town travel town is a game where you get fired from your very first work and then you make a second business two is an ad for royal match. There’s only one it’s where the kings bakery get set on fire how many tries to save him, but he literally turned dead and something that goes for you. It’s not for you it’s fail no next one. Is Ivanie Rohan is dumb it’s not is Ivanie roll fan is dumb. It’s Evani hand is dumb and keeps making the guy die. I hate these ads and I can’t even paint my trucks. ### 5/5 — Great control *2021-09-02, version 3.2* The best time killer --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
