### 5/5 — ゴミ

*2024-10-09, version 31*

普通にゴミ過ぎ

### 2/5 — 挙動がつまらない

*2024-06-18, version 24*

挙動がつまらない
カジュアルの様な爽快感も無くシュミレーターの様な操作していて楽しくも無いただただ難しい。

自分のゴーストが勝手に走ってポイントをとったり取られたりするシステムは斬新ではあるが自分が獲得したポイントを裏で勝手に増減してても…

アプリ内にレビューボタンがあるが星5(アプリに肯定的な)レビュー以外は不要という考えでレビューボタンを設計していてユーザーの事を考えていない。
そもそも低評価されたく無いのなら低評価を圧倒する高評価がつくよう考えればいいんじゃない

### 3/5 — 弾き飛ばしゲーム？

*2024-06-06, version 24*

コーナー前コネクト、カウント、コーナー付近で接触、ほぼ100%クラッシュ(約60%は空中)、ゴーストは100%弾け飛ばせたことない、0前から負け決定の繰り返し、レベル上がれば変わるのかと頑張ってみてたが同じ状況ばかり。たまにコースアウトするくらいしか大きな変化がないのでさすがに楽しさが見いだせない。

### 5/5 — おもしろい

*2024-05-19, version 11*

周回の途中でバトルをしてランキングをあげてゆくゲーム。シームレスにバトルがはじまるのでゲームのテンポがよくてたのしいです
