### 4/5 — The game is hard

*2026-03-30, version 1.2.14*

I want to play but is harder than ever make it easier so people can play

### 1/5 — What is up with the cpu

*2026-03-04, version 1.2.14*

Tell me why the cpu teleport to the other side of the track in one second

### 3/5 — Good game but scam?

*2026-02-11, version 1.2.14*

I got this game a few days ago and it’s great. I love the idea of tapping/swiping as fast as you can (sometimes with a rhythm) instead of a slow pace rhythmic tap like Speed Stars. Now I say scam because I bought two things, one was the $2/month subscription and a $5 bundle thing, both guaranteed no forced ads (as in pressing try again or home). I immediately canceled the subscription after the supposed “no ads” kept popping up. I plan on refunding both payments unless I’m mistaken with how I read things.

### 5/5 — Great game

*2026-01-19, version 1.2.14*

It’s a awesome game where you can compete in different track events and it’s very hard but it’s not impossible which makes it fun to try to beat it, the controls are satisfying and the graphics are great. Just an all round great game.
