    The controls will certainly be better on iPad. I will try to make them customizable.

    The thread I was mentioning was only active until the game went live. Please feel free to post here any other thoughts you have on the game. Many thanks!

    Played this game for a few more hours tonight. Definitely my game of the week. To be honest I feel like $2 is an absolute steal for this game. Really looking forward to what may come next.

    Not at the moment. It was something I mentioned to Vali while I was playing this before release (for review purposes). Hopefully it will be added as it would be great to have.

    Agreed. Good game. Been playing a while now and the racing's good and the weapons add to the fun. There's been many a time in other racers when I've been behind a car and can't pass that I wish I could just shoot it! Very addictive!
    Just a change to buttons and engine sound to make it perfect.

    Any thought to adding MFi support in the future? Downloading either way.....been waiting for a good car combat game on iOS.

    It's in the "Best new games" list on the UK app store - excellent. Congratulations Vali - here's hoping this game does really well for you.

    Reached tier2 but don't seem to be able to upgrade vehicle anymore. Can see upgrades on other vehicles but can't seem to access them.

    Purchased this on the merit of the users of this forum alone and am glad I did (and finally decided to register so I can post). Great game and echo the comments on how fun and polished the game is (long time Roadblasters fan and this is so much more). Not disappointed at all but if multi-player is ever added (even with "stock cars") this would be an over the top game. Like the suggestion of an arena as well, but as it stands I have quite a bit more blasting and racing to do. Congrats to the dev (especially of what you were able to accomplish solo without a commercial dev house, you would never know), keep up the great work.

    Customizable controls, I assume, will take some time to get working. I'd say for now just tweak the positioning of the buttons and the size of the hit boxes

    It's probably worth mentioning that this is all "nice to have" rather than essential and the game would still be great even if the controls were never changed. I completed all races in tier 1 and 2 on iPad with the arrow controls, never really blaming them for any of my bad losses or near miss second places.

    All cars have two performance upgrades and two armor upgrades. Once they are maxed out you can still access the upgrade menus but just to see the current / last upgrade.

    Also for the buy button to become available you need to have enough credits. Untill then you will see a notification of how much the specific upgrade costs.

    Just happened to notice the thread title, and hoped it was a combat racer, and it was! Downloading it right now. I keep meaning to compile a list of all iOS car battling games but haven't got around to it yet; any other fans of the genre feel like taking that on? I'll help contribute.

    I'm interested only if its not tilt controls. I'm using an ipad. I'll buy it now to support you anyway.

    Happy to say I'm enjoying it and will be keeping it. Bit of learning curve on controls but still a keeper. Real Racing is not good enough to be on my ipad but this is. Real Racing is stuffed with timers and IAP but this is great and how games should be sold. I don't mind paying more to get more but timers and stuff like that kill it for me mostly. Great work!!!!!

    Ok cheers! Yeh they do still seem fast enough! Unlike TA here, for me game of the week is either this or Counterspy. I keep jumping back and forth between the two. I'm addicted to them both! It's great to have two such great games, at the same time. Look forward to any content updates. Engine sounds!

    Been playing this all morning. Its an excellent game. Glad its like real and proper gaming where you used to have to earn your upgrades not buy them. And you have to earn your cars by winning races not buying coins.

    I'm not a great fan of car racing but this is much more than just racing. There's nothing like watching the car I just rocketed blow up or spin out of control. And revenge killings oh I just live that!

    Wow! Unbelievable, I read this would work on my 3rd gen ipod and I thought nothing new does these days and I tried it out and it worked perfectly. Cool!
