Coz that would be awesome. And I hope the pay model is tame at least. rIcHrAnDoM Well-Known Member Patreon Silver Nov 17, 2008 7,936 30 38 Steelworker/Welder Indiana, USA #7 rIcHrAnDoM, Nov 19, 2014 Checkpoint Champion is out.....AWESOME! Best of luck and success Protostar. EP, this game controls like PAKO For left and right turning, also letting off both sides of the screen immediately allows your car to drive straight. However, there is an added control input holding both sides of the screen creates a turbo effect. The controls in CC work very well. Unlike PAKO, however your cars aren't rigidly stuck to the surface. By this I mean two things; all cars have a drifting or sliding effect caused by your cars inertia and how quickly/sharply you attempt to turn, also, this is greatly varied depending on whichever surfaces you are driving on ie. grass, gravel, pavement or water. The effects of each cause the corresponding, realistic effects on the cars handling. In the end the cars handle nicely and once you've had a few plays you'll master the controls. That's not to say you'll master the checkpoints, obstacles and challenges, but you'll be on your way to earning respectable times. Ok, about the "pay model" it's as fair as it can possibly get. You'll have a few ads if you choose not to pay. If you pay $2 USD you then can disable ads plus it unlocks all three cars early with a special paint job for each. I am taken with this game it just feels like it belongs on my device and you can tell these two dudes at Protostar, Dean and Matt really are gamers and wanted to create a game that they would like playing. Richard CygnetSeven Well-Known Member Feb 6, 2010 7,596 33 48 #8 CygnetSeven, Nov 19, 2014 Played an early copy of this and I love it! Controls are circle left and circle right and hold down both to turbo. The game consists of small levels of time trial challenges in which you need to hit all the checkpoints in order to collect 1-3 stars. Bonus levels are unlocked by collecting stars. You have three cars and each adds different elements to the game based on the driving conditions and you can unlock paint jobs for your cars by completing challenges like complete XX level with only 5 taps. If you are a fan of driving games or twitch based games you need to try this. It is free and the only IAP is a $2 unlock that disables ads and rewards you with a special paint job for your cars. I had it purchased in the first five minutes! Highly recommended! NOEN Well-Known Member Jul 31, 2012 3,245 0 0 U.S. #9 NOEN, Nov 19, 2014 Highly recommended this game! (I'm looking at you GPS!) Not much I can say that hasn't already been said, but yea, it's awesome! Hopefully it does well. It deserves it. inthismoment07 Active Member Aug 12, 2014 39 0 0 #10 inthismoment07, Nov 19, 2014 Really fun game. Controls really well and the is challenging but also quite fair.

Thanks for all the impressions! Everyone seems to be enjoying it so far. Had a late night last night tracking the game as it rolled out across NZ. Should be in Europe now, and we're really excited for it to reach the US. We spent the last couple days working on a trailer. By far our most ambitious piece We'll be putting that out once it the game is global. Should give you a laugh I hope. Stay tuned!
