    Sorry if this has been asked/answered before: Dubai level, second course, really long track, no apparent fuel pick-ups. I'm stuck here and feel like I'm missing something. Do I have to unlock a specific fuel-efficient car on a later course? Any tips or info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    Azurerush, could you tell me what's your device? We've seen some people report this, and we still don't know what it could be. Our best guess is that it has to be with putting too much pressure in the virtual buttons, in a way that they stop getting your input. Not a good guess though. I'd appreciate if you could provide more info :)

    Hey Guise! Here are this level's fuel pickups:

    It's tricky because of the colors and speed, but they should be there. Please let me know if they're not! As a side tip, try not to hit too many signposts and obstacles, as crashing hard drains some of your fuel.

    Thanks! I found the ones on the right side of the track and finished the race. I must have missed the ones on the left, for the reasons you suggested (color, speed). Thanks again.

    I am using an iPad Air 2, it seems intended though like whenever it happens the dust blows from behind the car.

    The new update says it "improves" some Iceland and Greece track difficulty. Does that mean its harder or easier?

    It's more balanced, I guess. Iceland should be easier from what I've read in this thread. I don't know about Greece. I think there were some issues with objects (bridges, tunnels, etc.) not detecting collisions.

    I take back my words the sticky turning buttons are definitely not intended, and it's ruining the game for me. :(

    VirtualBoyFreak is right! Reykjavik 03 was a real downer for most people, so we tweaked it to make for a better experience. It's naturally easier now, but the main point is that it's way less frustrating as it was before. Cars run more spaced out and the guy at the front of the pack doesn't have a nitro anymore. He was never intended to use a nitro, as the track is pretty hard by itself.

    As for Greece, it's mainly adjustments in collisions. There were some props you'd run straight through, and there were props with collision boxes larger than their bodies. For example the pine lamps in Meteora, and I think Santorini too:

    You'd hit the tree even if you passed meters far from it. That's not hard the good way, it's just plain frustrating. It made a couple races from Greece way more tense and annoying than they should be. These kind of accident manages to slip by every now and then, and we gotta identify them as soon as possible to fix them! Even after launch :)

    So sorry to hear that. They're not intended at all :( I passed your complaint along to our programmers, so they try to understand what is going on here. Stupid question, just to rule out one possibility: do you consider you put a lot of pressure in your input, or your finger just barely touches the buttons? I know this shouldn't be a problem at all, but we gotta investigate it from every angle.

    I wouldn't consider myself putting a lot of pressure on the screen. When it happens and my car turns left or right even after lifting my finger off, I have to tap the opposite direction button to stop my car from turning. After that it goes back to normal.

    Are you sure you aren't just mis-interpreting the built in "driver aid" of the car sort of cornering on it's own a bit?

    Yes I'm aware of the so-called auto driving part. The problem is this unintended turning causes me to veer of the road and into lamp posts or other obstacles.

    Wow. Finally finished it this afternoon. Stunningly good game that has had me dreaming of flying around tracks.

    Please tell me that Australia will be coming at some point.

    The only problem I had (for the devs) was that I found the steering buttons too small and that my fingers would slip off them at bad moments. How about resizable buttons?

    Anyone else noticing a performance hit with iOS 9? I'm on an iPad Air, and the framerate is a lot choppier since the update, making it almost unplayable. Bummer.

    Choose:

    [ ] that's not fair,i payed 3 bucks for it and now it's on sale SUCH a short time after launch.
    [ ] Happens all the time,that's why i never buy premium games at launch.
    [x] i did not buy it before because of so many unplayed (premium) games sitting on my device.
    [ ] This is why i don't buy premium games at all.
    [ ] i'll wait until it goes free


    As you can see,i'm also guilty ;) Of course i bought it now.
    I just checked out of curiosity.51 games installed,all premium except: Asphalt8

    This is great fun. It reminds me a lot of Jaguar XJ220 on Sega CD. I'm gold on every race except the India bonus which is a beast.
