Don’t get me wrong the game is fun, but you need to lower the sense of speed a little bit. Make it better and I’ll give 5 stars ### 2/5 — No controller support *2017-06-02* This use to have external controller support but not anymore? Is just tilt control now and the tilt control is sluggish. There no way to race when you keep crashing because the tilt is so sluggish . ### 4/5 — Tail Drift *2017-01-21, version 2.0.0* A cute little plane racing game Quite addicting and enjoyable for young children. Great quality being a unity game Fun and competitive ### 2/5 — Ok... *2017-01-16* Overall, I think the concept is great, but the controls are a little wonky and the plane never really moves where you direct it to go which makes me very frustrated at it. ### 4/5 — iPad version of Mario kart *2016-01-08, version 1.0.5* Needs multiplayer and too many ads. Ads between each race???? Come on. Awesome game to play as a substitute of Mario kart. Need multipolar . ### 4/5 — Great Game *2015-11-14* This game is very fun, but it contains a lot of ads. Trail drift has a lot of potential, and I can see a lot more people playing it, but it has too much ads ### 4/5 — Easy to pick up but difficult to master *2015-08-29, version 1.0.5* It's an arcade racer, it's dead easy to play early on but to get past the second tournament, you need a photographic memory and reflexes made from pure lightning. The twists and turns are just insane and maybe it needs coins marking out the 'racing line' so often mentioned in the game or an option for a racing line like in more serious racers. If it had that option, it would be a solid 5. ### 4/5 — Stupid, but fun *2015-07-09, version 1.0.5* My son had to download this. It's ok. ### 4/5 — Addictive *2015-06-23* Definitely helps me pass the time when my gf is out doing her thing. Just wish it had more of an attacking feel to it. ### 4/5 — Awesome, but a lot of ads *2015-06-22* This is a very fun app. I like the variety of races you can do, and the different landscapes. Also, it's addicting after a while, and a fun way to pass the time. However, there are a decent amount of ads, and you don't always get the opportunity to skip them. ### 3/5 — Good game, bad ads *2015-06-22, version 1.0.5* 30 seconds ads after every single game. Can't be bothered. ### 5/5 — Amazing *2015-06-20, version 1.0.5* Yep! ### 4/5 — Multiplayer *2015-06-19, version 1.0.5* Very good game, needs multiplayer for more fun! ### 5/5 — Sensational *2015-06-18, version 1.0.5* Can't put it down ### 4/5 — More levals *2015-06-17, version 1.0.5* This game needs more levals and it will be the greatest plane game on I-pad hope you read -kikedkid ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Awful *2016-01-20, version 1.0.5* The game was so bad I decided to write a review just to tell you this game is awful ### 1/5 — Sick amount of Ads *2015-12-18, version 1.0.5* Ads Ads galore. Non-skippable ads everywhere. As for the game. The controls are laggy and sloppy. The constant 'spinning' is dizzying on such a small screen. 1 star is generous. Skip this game. ### 1/5 — 30 sec ad after each race! *2015-06-21, version 1.0.5* I played three races and after each there is a 30 second ad that cannot be skipped, so it was immediately deleted. ### 1/5 — Fun concept but way too many adds! *2015-06-18* Can be very fun but you spend just as much time if not more watching adds then having fun racing! Give us the $4.99 option too opt out all together and just play? Until then not worth the time sink in commercials! ### 1/5 — Awesome but *2015-06-18, version 1.0.5* U r making an awesome unique game feels lame with adding ads after every single round even some ads repeat itself zz ,I'll delete most probably .. ### 1/5 — Fix *2015-06-15* No, just no... It looks like some cool game but it WILL NOT let u download it on an iPhone 4. I've tried six times WITH full internet connection and it will not download, I waited a whole hour for it to download. But.. UGH. Fix this, and I'll download the game, otherwise the graphics and designs look A+. Help! ### 1/5 — Good game *2015-06-15, version 1.0.5* But ads between every race... deleted after 5 races ### 1/5 — Inappropriate content *2015-06-14, version 1.0.5* Something rated 4+ should not include an ad for game of war where a dragon burns an army of people. Ad is after the first race. ### 1/5 — Hi *2015-06-13, version 1.0.5* It is so good it is bad ### 1/5 — Laggy *2015-06-13, version 1.0.5* The screenshots of the game make it look so good and so much fun, but the game is really slow and laggy. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great game *2024-08-23* I just keep coming back for more after all these years ### 5/5 — Sic as brah *2018-06-10, version 2.0.0* Dis game is sic fire.
