    Argh... This one is really tempting.

    I find all Kairosoft games usually grab me for a few days, I play the bejeezus out of them, then I never play them again....

    Dare I download this or wait for the sale...:(

    Are you allowed to change the color of your vehicle? Also can you add decals and parts?

    No aura?

    Is there something special I have to do to get aura? I saw in that video back a couple of posts that he had an aura button during qualifying and during the race. In my game I don't have either. How do I get an "aura"?

    That's not necessarily a bad thing. It's hard to get into these games, but once you do you're pretty much sucked in for the time. I'd say that's worth the few bucks.

    I say get it now: Kairosoft are one of the few app developers not padding their games with a ton of IAP to bleed money from us. They design their games to be fun and entertaining, instead of finding ways to add bottlenecks and grinding and attach money to those.

    Just look at their last game, which is the actual gaming equivalent of all those 'freemium' tower games--if those were games and not business ventures under a layer of graphics. While their game design elements are subject to their accounting practices, Kairosoft only seem to care about making it something we can enjoy.

    They don't even paste tacky ads for other games and products all over these. These are all things taken for granted across the entire app store, that are so commonplace and adopted by so many mainstream and smaller publishers that most people don't even seem to think twice about it. We just pay for the game and seem to accept the ads and marketing and surcharges as if they aren't terrible.

    I'm sick of all those things in games. I think it's worth supporting the ones that resist these temptations.

    The aura seems to be random, might be influenced by stats but I have no idea. If you get the aura you should use it on research/training.

    I'd recommend playing through once without any sort of guide, especially since on your second playthrough you get to keep one type of car (including its upgrades). Just saying.

    Weird, I set the game to auto rotate and lock it in landscape mode but when I close the App and start it back up it is portrait again and still locked so I have to go into the settings and change it to auto again. Guess I will have to leave it on auto until it is fixed.
