    Spectrum of Pain and Grim Reaper unlock issues are fixed in the new update, set to hit the app store any day now! It's been submitted, we're just waiting approval.

    The upcoming update includes a new car, 2 new weapons, a new challenge and of course a slew of bug fixes.

    In the mean time check out the new Death Rally Launch trailer we just uploaded to our YouTube channel:

    Yes, it's rubberbanding heaven....
    But still, this doesn't annoy me to much in the normal races since the emphasis is on battle instead of racing and i have no problems in winning races, most cars are busted by then anyway.
    But it really gets annoying (and visible) when doing the 42 laps marathon. With right timing you can be on nitro for ages and still, half a round later they are on your back again. It gets even worse approaching the finish line...

    Other than that it's one of the best games on iOS. The controls are perfect, a joystick is only way to handle speed and steering with only one hand and the graphics are cool due to not beeing the iOS-usual pop-color-kiddie-cutie-style. The only thing to improve is the enemy AI, and of course more tracks, more cars, more weapons... :)

    Funny enough, at first i thought DR is a bit dull compared to RR, but unlike RR i couldn't put DR down until now. Simply because it has the fun-factor which RR lacks so much. That's why everyone here is complaining about to few tracks but don't complain to much about the same lack of tracks in RR: Because in RR you just don't care...

    -LASER SIGHT: Aim and destroy the enemy with more accuracy than ever!

    [​IMG]

    New challenge:
    -ALL NITRO CHALLENGE: Do you feel the need for speed?

    Improvements:
    -Player tag now more visible at race start
    -Metal shader effects for cars in garage

    Bug fixes:
    -Fame is correctly updated in Game Center
    -Grim Reaper & Spectrum of Pain now unlockable
    -No longer crashes when drawing missile trails
    -Resolved iPad 2 collision problems
    -Comic voice-over now abides to voice volume setting
    -Restarting career no longer selects a locked car

    Here's the launch trailer:




    While waiting for Update 1 to be approved we've almost managed to finish Update 2. The only thing remaining is tweaking the feel of the new additional controls.

    Best Regards,
    Timo

    Yes! A new car & weapon! I can finally start playing it again. I maxed out everything already and got a little bored.

    Very nice, and especially impressive considering this is a first update. Way to gain our faith in future content updates ;-)

    Any word on this query/suggestion below, devs? :)

    Is the 2nd update going to include multiplayer or is that still being worked on? I love this game. Keep up the good work!

    This is my favourite iOS game of all time. Brings back memories of my childhood. I look forward to the updates!

    New token controls should appease the silly Reckless Racing fanboys enough to up your ratings in iTunes. :)

    Those are achievements. There were some issues were you can´t unlock them even when you met the criteria.

    This update sounds great, I didn´t max out everything yet, so plenty to do for me.


    Btw, I hope there will be a destruction derby bowl in a future update. That would be cool.

    YOU WATCH YOUR MOUTH!!! :p


    Im not a fanboy of reckless racing, i find this much more fun. But the controls are a absolute mess imo. Adding a few more control schemes will make things better. This is something that should have been included in the beginning.

    The controls are fine. I can understand the need for a lefty option, but the controls will never be as good as a real controller. They are good enough.

    No they are not. They are slow.

    Controls... To each his own. It's good that devs are supporting the game.
    From video I don't really see the point of a laser sight. It is not aligned with the machine-gun so when the laser dot is on the opponents' car you may still be missing the target. Another question: are the new missiles homing?
    Thanks again for an amazing game.

    I am fine with the current game controls.
    I was hoping to get new maps in the first update, but I'm sure you got plans to add more in the future. Just because I've played every map like 10 times now (that's not a bad thing).

    Sounds a bit bad to me... rather than jump into every pretty-looking racer I've been holding out to see which one comes out on top. Right now I've still got my money on Mini Motor Racing.

    Wow, nice job *rolling* out an update so soon! I can't wait for the love this will be getting in the future if we already almost have an update and the second is nearly complete!
