Steering is a guess, at best! If you get hung on the inside wall out of turn 1, you’re done! There’s no getting off of it which eventually leads to a crash! As far as challenges that dictate “no damage”, lol, good freakin luck. Game could have potential if it wasn’t crap! ### 5/5 — Best racing game *2023-03-14* Best racing game ### 5/5 — Addicting, fun *2022-10-14* Excellent game. Simple but tricky. Would like to see STATS! Total races Distance traveled Total wins, 2nd, 3rd Avg finish Best times for each track Avg times for each track Total tries on each track Total crashes on each track (DNF) Total crashes overall Worst crash (total cars hit) Total cars hit/crashed into A NEW mode; crash derby, where the goal is to crash and eliminate as many cars as possible within 3 laps. (Your car is indestructable). Track total cars crashed, most cars crashed per race (all are 3 lap races), avg cars crashes per race. There’s a TON you can do with this! Most importantly, KEEP THE ADS OUT!! ### 5/5 — Great racing game *2022-07-10* Simple. Fun. Enjoyable. ### 5/5 — Fun & Addicting *2022-05-31* This game is simple, it does take some time to get used to the play style, it’s definitely like an old arcade game. It needed a tutorial and it’s probably abandoned by the programmers, but it could have been developed into something really fun with a story mode or a career mode with seasons. Still lots of fast intense competition. ### 5/5 — “ONE OF THE BEST ON THE APP STORE” *2022-05-12* First off let me say: “TOP DOWN DAYTONA USA IS VERY ENJOYABLE” Two:: “Very glad there are “NO ADS AT ALL LOVE YOU FOR THAT” Three::: “THERE IS MORE THAN ENOUGH HERE TO KEEP ONE ENTERTAINED DO NOT KNOW WHY PEOPLE BE HATIN ON A GREAT AND UNIQUE GAMING EXPERIENCE” I do not know if you are ever going to release more tracks but if not: “YOUR TEAM DID A GREAT JOB MAKING A GREAT GAME” Saint Anthony signing off…… ### 4/5 — Simple mais efficace ! *2019-04-17* Jeu simple qui rappelle un peu certains jeux à l'ancienne sur Amiga (Commodore), Amstrad ou Atari... Sympa. ### 1/5 — Terrible Game! Ridiculously Hard! *2019-02-24* I was right, the last review did ‘vanish’! Due to it being a poor one! The controlled car is supposed to use the drag and the slipstream of the car in front to overtake it. It does not overtake it! Tapping on the screen to change whether you’re holing left to right or right to left sometimes requires one tap and sometimes requires two! You can hit the inside and outside barriers which for this sort of game is stupid! Places can be lost by having to tap/ when tapping to move away from them as you can take damage! ### 4/5 — Fun *2017-10-24* It's good fun, every now and then the app slows to a halt and has to be closed, restarted and all is well again. Also, slightly off putting is knowing you can constantly tap the screen during a race and this will guarantee your car racing round on the inside without much issue, however guess this is where the other challenges come into play to discourage that. On the whole though, mustn't sound too negative, as is an enjoyable game ## Frequently asked questions about Tappy Lap ### What is Tappy Lap?
