### 5/5 — Super good

*2026-08-21, version 1.10.0*

Whoever says that this game is bad is honestly just a hater because when I first saw this game, I thought it was like one of those rip off racing games but when I tried it out, it was such a good game. There’s a few glitches, but I think y’all can fix it, but overall this game is so good. I love it.

### 3/5 — What happened???

*2026-07-28, version 1.10.0*

Something has changed with last update. Game play just ain’t the same… Impossible to beat level 6 in Oregon. Come on and fix it!!!

### 3/5 — This game

*2026-07-20, version 1.10.0*

I hate the fact that when you turn left the goes right

### 5/5 — Fantastic game needs more tracks

*2026-07-15, version 1.10.0*

Bigdawgg101

### 5/5 — Superb Racing App

*2026-07-10, version 1.10.0*

If you like solid racing with excellent drifting. This is your game. *Except for Florida, Level 8. They made it impossible to beat. But why?

### 5/5 — Perfection

*2026-07-09, version v1.9*

This game is perfect for off-line and a time killer

### 4/5 — But

*2026-07-06, version v1.9*

If it had no adds it would be a better game

### 4/5 — Fantastic arcade racer

*2026-06-26, version v1.9*

Florida looks great and a daily race with leaderboard! However why is the leaderboard full of obviously fake accounts? I downloaded the new update within hours of it appearing. I messed up my first race and came in 9000+ place. That doesn’t seem realistic. Finally ended up in 600 something place, which again doesn’t seem realistic. I’d like to know how I actually stack up against real players and not some fake users.  -1 star for the trickery. 

Nebraska looks more like it should be New Mexico. Not sure if you’ve ever driven through Nebraska but it’s flat AF, the roads are 90% straight and you see 430 miles of corn on both sides of the road. Interestingly when you cross the boarder into Colorado the landscape immediately opens up and becomes quite pleasant. Whoever negotiated the boarder for Colorado sure did a number on Nebraska. This new level ain’t quite Nebraska.  

Please do Michigan, lots of lakes. And how about Florida with a track that has a beach to one side of you as you race down the road. 

Also I think the button should say “Race” instead of Play. I’m not playing around, I’m racing like a bat out of hell. 

Still hoping for Game Center leader boards or st least an internal mechanism that keeps a record of your fastest times on each track. That would a nice addition as it will be a self challenge to set yourself a new record. 

Refreshingly simple and a blast to play. It’s rather nice for a change not having to upgrade every single part of a car and hearing the hydraulic wrench sound most other racing games have. Just pure racing joy. Looking forward to how this game progresses. Maybe some Game Center leaderboards in the future.

### 1/5 — Car Not as Responsive

*2026-06-25, version 1.8*

There must have been a change in this game. The car is not as responsive as it was. The car won’t turn sharp corners without going off the track.

### 5/5 — Great time passer

*2026-06-19, version 1.7*

Brilliant.
