    Hey everyone! Long-time lurker on TouchArcade and had to sign up to ask a question about this game. Love this game so far (I'm currently the #2 score place holder!! ) and like other people I had a rough time with level 2. However, it didn't stop me from completing the game in its current form, though.

    A question for the dev, Fraoula: Are you planning on adding more levels, either free or paid in the future? I would love another crack at more levels. The design is amazing and the music is also on point. Speaking of the music, any idea if you'd release the music separately? Keep it up! #

    Congrats! The game didn't last very long for you. We hereby certify you have superhuman abilities! :D

    Thanks for the great feedback! We have blueprints for new levels but it's still too early to make any decisions, it's been out for only three days so far. We'd love to continue working on it.

    Here's the soundtrack: https://soundcloud.com/fraoula-668033122/sets/neon-drive-ost-neon-drive-80s

    It not a bad thing; definitely a super challenge for a few days. Too bad someone beat me out the last minute. Haha - I would gladly pay for some additional levels in the future to support. And thanks for that link; kudos to whomever did the score.

    The complete soundtrack was made by an awesome synthwave artist Pengus.

    I finally completed all levels! Great game!

    Just for the record: I do like the top-down sequence on level 1! It does require a slightly different timing, but I didn't find it too hard or frustrating. The chase cam is still the hardest for me, as I have to rely much more on the beat to avoid the obstacles.

    I love how each level has a different special stage and how the transitions were done. Would love to see more levels, and would gladly pay if they're released as an IAP!

    Congratulations! It's great to hear that at least someone liked the top-down sequence :)

    We're considering adding new levels. The feedback so far has been great!

    If we are to make new levels, those will be free. But we will also add some goodies for purchase.

    For a start, we're adding more cars. Like this one

    Ooh, I had a poster of a white Lamborghini Countach on my bedroom wall, back in the late 80's. Definitely brings back memories! I'm not sure if people would be willing to pay to unlock a car skin - would it add something extra, like new music or visual effects? A pack of additional levels feels more appealing to me, but in the era of F2P you never know, I guess.

    Anyways, I'm glad to hear the game is doing well!

    Ooohhh... This and Testarossa were by far my most loved cars back in the 80's. Would love to see more cars and levels in the future, paid or free... Such a fantastic game!

    Wow this game is great! I still haven't beat the first level but I've never felt frustrated. It's just so fun. I personally like the top down sequence. I feel it's a good change of pace but I do get what people are saying. It is very hard

    340 attempts in Race 1 and still only 68%. This would be my favorite game if tracks were shorter and there were more of them. Need to be 45 seconds at most. Just my opinion though.

    Hi orton1227, thanks for the feedback. We're preparing an update in which we'll make things a bit easier and add difficulty modes for players who crave additional challenge.

    We've also made 2 new levels!

    The update will be available mid December, in case you don't beat it by then ;)

    Awesome! I really like you guys as a development studio and really love the game. Whatever you guys come up with I'll make a few more purchases just to show some support. Plus who can argue against more cars and levels!

    Thanks LordShad0wz! We appreciate your support. Wish I could show the videos of new levels, but that would be a massive spoiler :)

    Great. Thanks! When I was a kid, I'm sure these three levels would be no problem, but now I'm old and slow.
