However, I'll look into making the cliffs/gaps more obvious. I kinda thought the parallax effect was enough, silly me. I have the SteelSeries MFi myself, so I'll fix this bug quick.

I'm used to this side from playing Parking Mania. Otherwise I'm enjoying it with the retro contollers, they just need to be more accurate with the presses like Reckless Racing is. I'm sure you will nail it soon tho. Love the retro feel, great job. # Bojacob Member Jun 19, 2013 23 0 0 #13 Bojacob, Apr 18, 2016 Glady.

Changing the brake and accelerator buttons to a simpler and smaller shape would also help with this.

Haven't tried the other virtual controls but I'm going to try it out on my Mad Catz CTRLi later on. I couldn't resist buying this! I loved micro machines when I was a kid. Good luck with the game! Looking forward to what you can do with the update! Bojacob Member Jun 19, 2013 23 0 0 #18 Bojacob, Apr 19, 2016 RedRibbon: no worries! Any feedback is good feedback Zendorphin: oh now that's just awesome. I'm gonna do the Fury Road one! I do kinda wish I wrote the game in something other than cocos2d-x now as doing special effects is a very manual process, unlike unreal for instance which I've been messing around with. LisaVi: Hm, I'll look into this. The problem is I have pretty big hands heh, I'll try to find someone with smaller hands and see what I can work out Anotherkellydown: Thank you! Naraka Member Oct 2, 2012 5 0 0 #19 Naraka, Apr 21, 2016 Was on the fence but with the developer being active in community sold it. Look forward to Fury Rode lol.

Gurney Halleck Well-Known Member Dec 21, 2012 320 2 18 Telephony and Computer Network Engineering and Mai Salt Lake City, Utah #20 Gurney Halleck, Apr 22, 2016 So I read the review, instantly smashed the buy button, and then proceeded to hallucinate I was back in my mate's bedroom jamming out race after race playing Micro Machines NES back in '91. Really good times, and this really brought it back! I also would like to see the steering wheel adjustable, or with a left side toggle, but I have a pretty good feel playing with the L/R arrows and gas/brake controls are a good part of the fun so even an option with the steering wheel and gas/brake buttons would also be welcome. Otherwise, I'm absolutely digging on this in a big way. Going to have to get some friends to jump in for this one. Zero buyers remorse here. Also, the multiplayer options are really pretty awesome! Can't believe I get all this joy for $1. iOS AppStore redemptionist action right here! Please make lots of money, and keep adding features, content etc!

Me! A nice clone of old Micro Machines games. Maybe a bit light about contents at the moment, but it's the only (and partial) gripe.
