It's awesome!!! Check out the first track I made…
Enter the code in track manager = ZMXMN
Awesome!!
Be prepared to connect to iTiunes on pc or wifi, it's now over 10 mb.
Could you find the easter egg?
I did
SlotZ Racer is already a perfect game, and it will become even better with a multiplayer wi-fi option on the next update.
Easter Egg? didn't know there was one?
So I do find the options menus a bit harder to push – I mean when I push them – like settings and race and all the UI buttons they seam to take about 2-3 times to get right before I actually push them – maybe I just got fat or something!! Anyone else notice this?
yeah,
select PRACTICE
once there, click on the "i" button many times and you'll get a cute easter egg.
Mt.Biker, it sounds like it's running slower than normal. You can sometimes get this if something else in the system (usually the iPod playing your music) is churning away in the background or if it's just post install and the OS is doing some tidying. Worth doing a power off/on to clean memory up and tidy the system.

Liar
your personal robot,
I was not joking!!!
That's real.
I clicked on "i" many times and at the end I could see a little flower icon and some "special" cars came out.
I don't want to anticipate what's about, but nice.
If this game is a quarter as good as it looks it will be awesome.
Cars! I only saw 1 car!
Got this last night. It is brilliant, one of the best iPod Touch games I have played.
