I only raced 4-5 times before running out and being promted to buy more. There is an infinite token IAP that would essentially make the game premium (I guess) for $4.99. Snooptalian Well-Known Member Sep 12, 2009 1,936 8 38 #4 Snooptalian, Oct 5, 2016 Fun game definitely reminiscent of takedowns in Burnout. Would be cool if it weren't track based and instead kinda like Burnout Paradise with open roads to turn down complete with ramps etc, but still a pretty fun game as it is. Not a fan of the coins to race though, you don't get to play much before running out and need to wait or watch videos to refill. Might consider the iap to get unlimited continues. Gonna play some more before taking the plunge. Wanna make sure it doesn't get repetitive and just turning into a grind to unlock cars... hvianna Well-Known Member Jun 14, 2012 732 7 18 Male IT Analyst / Webmaster Brazil #5 hvianna, Oct 5, 2016 Wow what a nice surprise! Super fun game definitely reminiscent of Burnout, Out Run and Rock 'n Roll Racing! I really love the very responsive controls! The only down side is a slight sluggishness in the frame rate on my iPad mini 2, but nothing too bad. Probably my game of the week!! @Snooptalian: there seems to be an endless mode too, although I haven't tried it yet. jpgold Well-Known Member Sep 21, 2012 1,818 56 48 Online Ad Sales - Pandora New York, NY #6 jpgold, Oct 5, 2016 Feel the same. I liked what I've seen so far, but only was able to get in like 4 games before being asked to buy more tokens. While it's a fun game, that really rubbed me the wrong way. I'd happily pay for the unlimited coins but didn't really get a chance to dig into the game before being shut out. I'll just wait the 4 hours for them to replenish as there are other things to play. LordShad0wz Well-Known Member Nov 19, 2014 4,280 1 38 #7 LordShad0wz, Oct 5, 2016 My initial impressions are good. While there are timers they did put in a way to get rid of them so I'm happy with that. There is a HUGE selection of cars. There's racing, drifting, and combat! The on screen controls are actually pretty well thought out. I did, however, experience a hang up when after a race I tapped the button for extra coins. It just hung up and I could do nothing but force close the game and restart. I will continue to play before I decide to go premium and I also might purchase one of the vehicles I like. I'll report back later.

I'm gonna wait and see what you think after playing a bit more and if your imps are favorable, I'll grab this. Seems we have similar taste in the games we like! Comes in handy when you're thinking about banging down the old 'buy' button but still on the fence! ## LordShad0wz Well-Known Member Nov 19, 2014 4,280 1 38 #11 LordShad0wz, Oct 5, 2016 Last edited: Oct 5, 2016 Ok. So here's the entire pay model system. There are no forced ads. You have 2 game modes. The first is a series of races with different tracks and settings. These require racing tokens, 1 per race, which replenish over time or you can watch a video ad for 3 or you can buy some for a $1 or unlimited for $4.99. Each track is unlocked by winning the previous track. You can also pay $5.99 to buy unlimited tokens and pre-unlock all tracks. IF you don't want to watch ads or pay unlimited tokens the second gaming mode is an endless mode and that is always available. So you always have a way to play the game regardless. There are opt in ads after each race for extra in game cash. Cash you earn from every race is used to buy vehicles. Each vehicle has its own stats. Some are better than others. You can also choose to purchase any vehicle for $1. There is NO winning vehicles like crossy road. You must save up enough cash and do certain achievements to unlock and purchase vehicles with in game cash or buy them with real money. Each car can be upgraded with earned in game cash. There are cash packs you can also purchase for real money. They should have added a coin doubler IAP. I would have bought that. That's the pay model. Billy LordShad0wz Well-Known Member Nov 19, 2014 4,280 1 38 #12 LordShad0wz, Oct 5, 2016 I did purchase just the unlimited tokens IAP. I did not decide what vehicle I want yet. I really like the game. It's fun. It gets pretty intense. I could have paid a dollar more and unlocked all the tracks but I want to play and do it on my own. I'm thinking I might purchase the black Humvee type of vehicle or the police car. Billy Mrwubbs Well-Known Member Feb 19, 2012 498 0 16 #13 Mrwubbs, Oct 5, 2016 The game is ok, but it has a rough feel to it. The frame rate is a little jerky, and the sense of speed isn't what I hoped for. Feels like burnout takedown with poor performance. Still fun to play though. I just hope it gets smoother in an update. Also, please add more content to 8 bit Waterslide. That is an underplayed gem. jpgold Well-Known Member Sep 21, 2012 1,818 56 48 Online Ad Sales - Pandora New York, NY #14 jpgold, Oct 7, 2016 Do the missions ever change or is is always "near miss"? teaandcheese Member Jun 2, 2015 8 0 0 #15 teaandcheese, Oct 7, 2016 Hey man, Im one of the devs on the game. So each game world has one mission for every race. For Tropical world that's "near misses" but for Candyland it's about boosting, Desert World is drifting, SciFi is time spent in the oncoming lane and in Explosion World it's about blowing up cars with the explosive crates on the track. Hope that's helpful! hvianna Well-Known Member Jun 14, 2012 732 7 18 Male IT Analyst / Webmaster Brazil #16 hvianna, Oct 7, 2016 Hi dev! There seems to be some sort of bug that doesn't reward he player with the correct amount of cash. For example, I had $224k, finished in 1st place and completed the mission, and it showed a total of $26k of reward. When I returned to the selection screen I had only $238k. Is there something I'm missing? Anyways, I bought the unlimited tokens to support you guys - this is F2P done right!

Last night I spent 50,000 and upgraded the 1st car, the Genesis. I just went in to play and I have no cash and the car is no longer upgraded. It's asking for 50,000 to maximize again. I actually raced with the car maximized. So it went through for sure. But today the game seems to have forgotten and kept the cash. That's not good. That's a lot of cash gone. Also I don't seem to be awarded the cash it says I've earned when I'm racing. For instance on one race it said I earned over 13,000 but it added like 1,200 to my total. There is something going on with the money in the game. iPhone 6 running iOS 9.3.5 Billy zergslayer69 Well-Known Member Apr 21, 2010 1,211 3 38 #18 zergslayer69, Oct 8, 2016 Is it just me or does this game heat up the iPad like crazy? And I have a case over it too and can feel it being really warm. LordShad0wz Well-Known Member Nov 19, 2014 4,280 1 38 #19 LordShad0wz, Oct 8, 2016 It heats up my IPhone 6 but most games now a days do. This game does have a lot going on. Do you have it charging while playing? Billy LordShad0wz Well-Known Member Nov 19, 2014 4,280 1 38 #20 LordShad0wz, Oct 8, 2016 Last edited: Oct 8, 2016 Devs, Have you seen my bug report? The Genesis still shows it's not maximized today. I lost the $50,000. I still REALLY love this game! For anyone who wants to spend some money on a good car right off the bat I have purchased 4 of them for real money so far and unlocked a bunch with in game money and out of all of them without a doubt the best is: Speed Warrior I recommend spending the $1 on that car if you want to buy a good car. I'm glad I did. The missiles on this car take out enemy cars everytime with 1 hit. It's very fast and it has very good turning and armor. It costs $5,000 in game cash to maximize which isn't much at all. Out of all of my cars this has been the most effective and fun to use. It's also cool looking as well. If you use the boosts at the start of a race it's off the hook. This game really really needs to get iCloud save support. Also the voice overs start to get on your nerves after a while. I wish there was a way to keep the music and sounds but stop the voice overs. Lol I also wish there was a coin doubler IAP. I would buy it. So far I've spent $9 on the game. That's how much I like it. I just unlocked candy land so I'm about to dive into that. Let's do this! Billy (You must log in or sign up to post here.)
