### 4/5 — Fun!

*2026-09-05, version 1.3.8*

This game is just good, simple fun. I love it. 

The new update with two motorcycles for purchase? $14.99 for two more motorcycle skins? $14.99?!Ridiculous!

### 4/5 — Opinion on game - UPDATED

*2026-07-27, version 1.2.6*

So, it's been a month or so since I posted my hate comment.. sorry about that. I really enjoy the upgrades and rivals now, I just wish there was a casual version to be like legacy with less chaos. From the OUTRUNNER event, I wish the ferrari was a permanently playable vehicle. It was very fun to drive, and I do enjoy having not just motorcycles. In the future, you could might even add boats, who knows? I like the direction the game is going, and I'm glad to see the game still being developed.

### 3/5 — New update ruined the game

*2026-06-18, version 1.2.6*

To be honest, I used to really like this game. I played at 30 FPS for a more stable feel, enjoyed cruising at 230-ish in the bosozuko, and had finished the game, so I decided to update. What I didn't expect in this update was the sheer amount of new content, along with nerfs and removal of features. You no longer have a 30 FPS toggle, road obstacles provide disruption to the game's flow, rivals can be very annoying, and upgrades nerfed the performance of all cars. I am regretting updating to this new version, but I still deeply enjoy the main bones of this game. This is not written out of hate, but out of the feeling that the game has been tainted and turned into something else entirely. While I obviously appreciate the game still being worked on, I do not however enjoy how aggressive this rework was.

### 2/5 — iOS 26 Performance Issue

*2026-06-18*

The game is cool and all, but when I switched to the new iOS version on my iPhone 13, the game became very slow. Most of the races are in slow motion, it’s simply impossible to play now.

### 4/5 — Please add controller support

*2026-04-24*

Enjoyed it reminded me of my good old days with roadrash but without controller support I not playing it. Its no fun controlling it with touch support the experience isn’t that much of impressive

### 2/5 — Good first level. That's it

*2025-10-27, version 1.1.28*

This game could have been great but level design past the first level is atrocious. Feels like the dev never took the time to play beyond the first level oh and half the achievements don't even work.

### 5/5 — Top ten mobile games!

*2025-10-16, version 1.1.28*

Just add more bikes, maps, and abilities and it would be perfect.

### 5/5 — Отличная игра

*2025-10-07*

Есть, пить, рекламу не показывает, оценить не просит

### 5/5 — great game

*2025-09-28, version 1.1.28*

### 2/5 — iOS 26 Performance Issue

*2025-09-17*

The game is cool and all, but when I switched to the new iOS version on my iPhone 13, the game became very slow. Most of the races are in slow motion, it’s simply impossible to play now.

### 5/5 — No Way

*2025-09-11, version 1.1.28*

Ieri ho installato sto gioco e oggi mi sono accorto di una cosa che manco è credibile adesso la spiego ma prima vi auguro buon divertimento la spiego va bene non c’erano pubblicità, quindi 5 stelle meritate ma a volte ci sono

### 5/5 — Правильно сделали

### 5/5 — 10/10 no glaze

*2025-08-04, version 1.1.28*

(Keep in mind on the go means the hour long ride on the road.I’m not a slacker at work)I’m a landscaper and I’m also 12 so I play games on the go, but the thing is that I can play without WiFi and its a great game too so I’d say it’s worth grinding.

### 5/5 — Fun Maps Cool Concept

### 1/5 — Great at streaming ads

*2025-04-01, version 1.1.28*

Skip three different Ad rewards. Plays ad anyway.
“You can pay us not to waste your time”
Gross.

### 1/5 — Forced ads 👎

*2025-03-28, version 1.1.28*

You'll spend more time watching ads than playing the game

### 1/5 — Horrid

*2025-02-16, version 1.1.28*

Awful game fun to play but to many obstacles but you can't change who your racing In moonbase to many turns and to many obstacles

### 1/5 — I’m good

*2025-02-12, version 1.1.28*

No fun. Boring. Maybe ok for a 5 year old.

### 1/5 — В

*2024-08-28*

Очень интересная много скинов

### 1/5 — Сегодняшнее обновление сломало игру!

*2024-08-11*

Игра отличная! Но после обновления перестала работать. iOS 12, iPad mini2.

**Developer response:** This seems to be a problem with ios 12, can you please update your device? Let us know if it continues to be a problem at: contact@gearheadgames.com

### 1/5 — No way

*2023-11-26, version 1.1.18*

You HAVE to accept Google tracking. No, I don’t think so.

### 1/5 — Not fair

*2023-08-31, version 1.1.18*

I hate that the bots can jump and not get hit on the air while I can it’s not fair

### 1/5 — Retro Invasive Personal Tracking

*2023-06-22, version 1.1.16*

They should change the name of the game to Retro Privacy Violations.  A highway motorcycle retro game shouldn’t have that many personal data tracking points in the Apple disclosure box.  Unless of course it’s a tracking tool rather than a game.

### 1/5 — Bro that was unfair

*2023-05-11, version 1.1.15*

I was driving doing SUPER GOOD and then a “please rate the app” showed up and ruined me! I’m so annoyed.

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Good game

*2026-06-24, version 1.2.6*

Nice game ever

### 5/5 — It works

*2026-06-15, version 1.2.6*

The new purchase buttons do work now and I enjoy the major update.  I would also like a drop a suggestion which would be a cool synthwave themed world you could unlock and a new futuristic bike that could be called “The out runner”

### 5/5 — amazing!

*2026-06-12, version 1.2*

fantastic game. one of the best to ever do it in the app store. thats it

### 5/5 — Oi

*2026-03-28*

Muito bom

### 5/5 — 10/10

*2026-03-01, version 1.1.32*

Better than PS5 version

### 5/5 — Make a car game or version

*2026-03-01, version 1.1.32*

Great game so much fun. U guys should definitely make a car game/ version, it would do numbers

### 5/5 — Please make another

*2026-02-03, version 1.1.28*

This game is awesome and I appreciate the hours of fun but please make another

### 5/5 — Inspired

*2026-01-14, version 1.1.28*

This game is beautiful and challenging. 

It needs more soundtracks because I think there’s like two but those two tracks are great. From the quality of those two tracks, I honestly thought there would be at least one per level. 

I’m hoping the developers expand the game because it’s truthfully amazing, especially for a free to play game. However, be prepared to buy the ad-free version because it makes it a much more seamless experience given how often you die. 

My compliments to the art direction, seriously. Beauty meets good gameplay. A rarity. 

I do wish the downtown section were more populated with buildings and a bit windy-er. I dream of a version with sharp corners and neon.

### 5/5 — Perfect mobile game

*2026-01-02, version 1.1.28*

I never rate games, but this got me through sitting in A&E for 4hours, progression is fair, game is also very good mechanically (I don’t get frustrated at it, if I fail it’s on me, rare in games). Very satisfying and perfect to play for 5mins here and there or even a 1 hour straight. Currently on the 30k coins bike, hope it stays rewarding. Hope there might be more stuff added in future.

### 5/5 — This is amazing

*2025-10-17, version 1.1.28*

This team is great every day when I get done with a stressful school day I hop on this game and it just makes my day it’s amazing. I would highly recommend it and no, I’m not no robot.
