### 4/5 — 🕶

*2022-08-14*

Игра очень классна, в ней можно утонуть надолго, но есть один минус, хотелось бы больше новых уровней, потому что потратив много времени на прохождение всех уровней на максимум очков, не очень приятно когда ты осознаешь что это всё) 4 звезды за то что игра давно не обновлялась❤️

### 4/5 — stan loona

*2021-02-02*

### 5/5 — Mi opinión

### 5/5 — Perfekt für zwischendurch

*2020-12-14*

Habe das Game durch Zufall entdeckt und muss sagen es macht durchweg Spaß. Leider hat das Game so gut wie kein Content damit man es auch mal länger spielt. Inhalte kommen wohl hinzu, jedoch anscheinend sehr langsam, da das letzte Update auch schon 4 Monate her ist. (Wieso gebe ich dann 5 Sterne) Das Game hat fast keine Bewertungen und mit 5 Sternen trage ich dazu bei das das Game höher gelistet wird und mehr Leute es entdecken,sodass der Entwickler mehr Möglichkeiten hat Content zu bringen. Denn das Game hat viel Potenzial. (Anmerkung an den Entwickler)
Bei mir kann ich nicht den In-App Kauf tätigen um die Werbung zu entfernen oder um ein Werbespot anzuschauen wenn ich gestorben bin. Benutze ein IPhone 7 mit IOS 14.2 falls euch das hilft.

### 5/5 — LOVE IT

### 5/5 — This game is a straight vibe

*2020-11-28*

Music is dope and so are the effects I still haven’t got past the 3rd song lol but I’m excited for them to release new music and cars !! Love this game I play it every morning before work to wake myself up for my drive

### 5/5 — Супер!

### 5/5 — So Calming

*2020-10-23, version 1.1.1*

This game calms me so quick

### 5/5 — Amazing 🥰

*2020-10-21*

I love this game so so much!! it always seems to manage to calm my nerves and even when i lose it doesn't seem like the worst lost ever. there's only four songs right now and they're all short but sweet. and since it's an offline game, i can play it wherever and whenever. i like to play it in school when i've got nothing else to do lol. another thing is that i love the skins in the game, they're all so wonderful to look at!! ❤️❤️❤️

cant wait for more updates!!!

### 1/5 — Twash

*2021-09-07*

Ist Twash meiner Meinung nach

### 1/5 — É bonito e cheio de propaganda

*2020-11-10*

O jogo tem gráficos bonitos, mas só, a interface é limitado e mal feita, mas o pior são as propagandas que aparecem após cada ação, nem tive paciência de jogar mais de uma partida.

### 1/5 — Nothing special

*2020-10-02, version 1.1.1*

There’s no synthwace music in this game it’s just another clone. Very original.

### 1/5 — Ralentissements intempestifs

*2020-01-12*

Installé sur iPad 4, avec iOS mis à jour. Le jeux est lent. Impossible de jouer. Désinstallation faite dans la foulée.

### 2/5 — I want my dollar back please unless you fix this problem…..

*2022-05-02*

I went into this game thinking SynthWave Car Racer; and I will admit “IT IS A BLAST TO PLAY” 
“YOU REALLY CAPURED THE 1980’S PERFECTLY HERE”
The Touch Controls are “VERY RESPONSIVE AS WELL”
My only GRIPE is the ads and the 1 dollar ad removal 
“DOES NOT WORK AT ALL” I can understand 
“AT THE END OF THE LEVEL” ok; apple needs its money….
but the continue ad button 
After you run out of fuel “THE FIRST TIME” “THAT” continue button does not work on 2 of the 5 Songs… and “THE DOUBLE POINT BONUS AD BUTTON AT THE END OF THE LEVEL DOES NOT WORK ON 4 OUT OF 5 SONGS” Was this an oversight “
OR ARE YOU YANKING MY CHAIN” 
there is nothing I can do “I AM AT YOUR MERCY”
other than say this:
“IF THIS ISSUE NEVER GETS ADDRESSED I WILL NOT 5 STAR IT” “YOU CAPTUE THE 1980’S COMPLETELY HERE” “BUT THE AD BUTTONS NOT WORKING IN THE GAME; EVEN AFTER I PAID FOR NO ADS “REALLY MAKES THIS GAME A BIG DISAPPOINTMENT”
Thanks for your time:
Saint Anthony signing off……

### 2/5 — Gets boring in 2 days

*2020-08-13, version 1.1.1*

This game was fun at first but after a day it got REALLY boring. I think it’s because the lack of music and the ui of the game.

### 2/5 — Bom mas poderia ser muito melhor...

*2020-05-04*

Os gráficos do game são bons, e a música do primeiro cenário é a melhor, mas o game tem algumas coisas que tiram a motivação de continuar jogando que são: 
- A música não acompanha seu desempenho, ela está pronta e vai tocar independente do seu ritmo. 
- O game só tem 4 músicas e não tem opções para comprar outras. 
- Existe duas opções para gastar os diamantes obtidos no game, uma é comprar veículos, que você não sabe qual é até comprar, e a outra opção para gastar os diamantes, não dá para saber para que serve.
Infelizmente o game é muito simples e não vai lhe prender por mais de 20 minutos, mas vale pela música do primeiro cenário que é bem bacana.

### 2/5 — Emptyness...

*2019-12-30*

A totally empty game, at least yet.
No cars, no music choice, no nothing.

### 3/5 — Concept good

*2020-11-05*

Great synthwave music. Love the stages, but ad removal doesn't work, and if you crash and want to watch an ad to continue, that button doesn't work, either. I'll change my star review if these issues ever get fixed.

### 4/5 — Good Game

*2022-11-24*

I love everything about it but one problem there isn’t a lot of levels. The more levels the better this game will be, the music choice is terrific as well.

### 5/5 — Good game

*2025-03-18*

Like the flow and style of this game. When will new levels come out!

### 5/5 — Bell gioco!

*2023-06-11*

Questo gioco mi piace tanto ma peccato che non sia tanto popolare ma speriamo che gli sviluppatori aggiungeranno qualche livello in più

### 5/5 — 3 Stars in all levels!

*2022-02-14*

So addicted to the game! I love everything about it and I’m glad I get to play with Testarossa and not any other car!

### 5/5 — Amazing!

*2021-12-19*

I’ve personally loved sythwave music for my whole life and this is the first and only enjoyable game about it! Y’all should put out the game music album on iTunes! 5 stars (Edit) I later purchased the no ads option and I still get ads all the time so I’m going to have to rate this 3 stars until this is fixed lol good game though!(another edit) it’s fixed! Back to 5 stars lol

### 5/5 — Hermosoo!!

*2021-10-30*

Hermosoo!! Pero faltan mas niveles❤️

### 5/5 — Me encanta

*2021-10-24*

Las canciones son muy buenas y combinan con la estética del juego. Los escenarios están muy bien hechos y ambientados. Ojalá lo sigan actualizando. Muy recomendable

### 5/5 — Please add this feature

*2021-08-23, version 1.1.1*

There is a game similar to this on android but it’s not available on iPhone and it aloud you to play the game but with music downloaded on your phone I would really love to see that added

### 5/5 — More songs?

*2021-03-10*

I have been waiting for a long time. How can we get more songs?

### 5/5 — BRUTAL

*2021-02-22*

El juego esta muy muy bueno pero me sorprendí la primera vez que lo jugué tengo el xs Max y se calento muchísimo tengo todo al maximo pero vale la pena ya lo estoy descargando en mi 6s

### 5/5 — Perfecto

*2021-02-13*
