    I happened to be home and have been playing since I got the notification. Dev please see the following video. The cars are exhibiting crazy behavior at the start of games:

    https://everyplay.com/videos/27676361

    The cars are off the screen flying everywhere.

    Also the controls are tighter but not there yet. Maybe just a little more tighter and also is it possible to stop the constant bouncing and sideways sliding off of the siderails or side terrain? The controls are definitely better though. Definitely in the right direction.

    With the prize claw, I'm ready to throw my iPhone. I've now gotten the red car 6 times and the yellow car 3 times. I'm not getting anymore new cars it's the same ones I've HD over and over and over.

    The coins still need to have a much better drop rate. He most I'm getting is 0 to 6 per play. They are also still very very hard to see. Along with the f16 power up. They are so hard to see.

    On the level with the ocean, can you make it so the water looks like water and not green acid?

    All in all besides the crazy physics in that video I posted the controls are definitely better. I'm enjoying the game. Oh and the prize claw. I can't wait until you fix it. No way should I keep getting the same exact cars in a row.

    Edit- and another pull just now and got the a team van. That's 4 damn times for that one now too.

    Where are all you testers out there? What are your thoughts?

    How does everyone feel about the tighter controls? Agree with my thoughts on them? Disagree?

    The dev cannot make changes without discourse!

    The claw game is pretty broken in the current version, so we're changing it to make it more fair. It won't win the same car over and over anymore. That should make it in to the next build. I also adjusted the ocean to make it less like liquid metal :)

    We're still working on improving the controls to make it feel tighter. Some other things coming soon are using rewinds as an extra life and an easy mode.

    Oh hell yea much better lol.

    You guys kick ass. I'm going to save up coins then for when you fix the claw. I need kit. Lol. I plan to buy the car pack just for that one alone lol

    Thank you for working on the controls some more too.

    And interesting. Using the rewind as an extra life is cool. Maybe as a monetization method I would absolutely be willing to watch ads for extra rewinds and clocks. You'd probably get a steady revenue from this as its consumable.

    Just remember to make another leaderboard though. People WILL complain. People always want pure boards and boards for things where you get an extra life or some alteration to the core game. I've seen it over and over. So let me cut off a headache now and let you know ahead of time. So if you get a continue it would pop you into the second leaderboard automatically.

    I always hit one of the power up buttons on accident. This happens when I am playing one handed and I guess my fat palm would trigger them when I just wanted to make a turn. Can we get it all on one side or an option to place the buttons where we want them?

    I ABSOLUTELY love this implementation! I can't wait for the next update. Will the prize machine be worked on as well in the next update?

    Btw you really do well with the controls lol. You are pretty damn good at your own game. Hehe

    I can't wait for the next update. I've been playing everyday. It's a good game. It really is.

    Sweet!

    Another question!

    Would it be possible to be able to share to Twitter? I have a crap ton of players and devs on my Twitter. Actually it's pretty much all I do with Twitter. It would be a good way to get your game out there. A lot of people love to share scores on Twitter.

    Would sharing a screenshot of the deathmenu ( where it shows score/coins ) be what you are looking for?

    Just a little thing, it hasn't happened again.I started a game and my car just drove off without me and the screen stayed still until my car crashed. Weird.
