    Not surprising, at least you didn't hold your breath in the meantime.

    Hey hey, we're still tinkering - it's taken us a little longer than expected what with features and some 'life stuff', but we're wrapping up this month so you can expect new Dashy Crashy in June. We've added extra 'vehicles' to hopefully make up for it ��. Will talk more abut what we've changed/added soon.

    Turbo update is live! I waited so long for this. Thank you for the landscape mode, it looks so good on iPad. Suck it iPhone users hahaha (jk)

    Game crashes most of the time if I select Street Racer and play with it. This happens right after woman says "beat the racers" or later. I don't know how but I managed to bounce off 10 times with the same ramp truck. =]

    Man, this is so great. The visuals are wonderful; the car selection is great; the car abilities are inspired. It really IS DC2.

    Does anyone know what the timber truck does?
    And does anyone have a good idea for where the holiday RV goes that the other cars don't?

    I plan to have a lot of fun with this game. And everyone please remember to re-review the game on the App Store after the update!

    Glad you're having fun with it - we found it *really* difficult messaging this, we could have slapped a big "2" on it, but really did want to reward existing players, rather than have them start over. I was thinking of starting a new thread for it (with links, art etc and hope to start making some 'pro-tip' vids is there's enough of an ask). What do you guys think?

    You ought to try it! This game is so great, amd is so much greater now -- it's not getting the recognition it ought to. I'm not sure if TA protocol will let you, though -- one game, one thread, I assume?

    Thanks! Yeah, it's been *VERY* difficult to message, we would have saved ourselves a *ton* of headaches had we just called it Dashy Crashy 2 tbh - we felt an update would be the best thing for existing player - It's something we're still trying to deal with, message etc #

    this game would SLAY if you guys add in coop ( going as far as you can until two of them are dead like in crossy road apple tv version , make it 4 player split screen, pushing the hardware to its limit )

    or vs mode

    maybe online duel mode with leaderboard ranking ?

    i think you should release this game on steam for free with iap like on ios ( you can easily port this game to mac os using the metal API graphical renderer since they all shared the same architecture right?

    “Why did updates take so long?!?"

    Dashy Crashy's been out a while, so “Why did updates take so long?!?".

    Honestly, it boils down to a muddle of design & tech. We’d always intended each car to have something 'unique to play with’, but had to drop the idea if we had any chance of launching the game (and we *needed* to launch the game!). As soon as Dashy Crashy was out, we started to prototype gameplay and develop new cars - actually the 25 new ‘Legendaries’ were developed as smaller packs, but as we began to add unique actions & bonuses per car, it started to feel the right thing to do would be to bring it all together in one mega update (which we did). With a total of 80 cars to tinker with you start to get an idea where 9+ months disappeared to… speaking of which, both myself (Travis) and Brent had kids quicker than it took us to get the TURBO update onto stores!

    On the tech side, we were *really* keen to bring the game to android, but with no experience on the platform we partnered with an external team and ultimately brought development back in-house to polish, missing the iOS March 2nd date before finally launching on June 2nd - throwing in AppleTV, Amazon and FireTV versions for good measure #

    The good news is we now have parity across iOS and Android platforms, which means we can (finally!) start to roll out some new content simultaneously, starting with…

    What's New in Version 2.3 - SECRET CAR

    Heya! Dashy Crashy 2.3 out now and we've added a new Secret Vehicle to unlock while you wait for 'Arcade Heroes'. What's interesting is that since its release over the weekend, we've been getting requests to make unlocking it an event goal, much like we did with the DINO.

    What do you think? ����

    What's New in Version 2.3.1 **RAMPER EVENT**

    **RAMPER EVENT**
    Play as the RAMPER! Ramp 720 traffic cars before July 31st to keep it!

    • HOLD the screen to drive the Ramper in reverse...
    • … ramp traffic cars to score!
    • Adjusted car pricing, LEGENDARY, EPIC and RARE cars now cost less!
    • Added DINO as a secret car. Hint: find the egg!

    We had fun with this one, what started as a quick idea earlier in the week escalated into a full event and release by Friday! I like that we changed the way scoring works - you ONLY score from ramping cars - the game feels different to play as a result, I think we’ll be trying more like this ##
