    I tried this in early soft launch but I'll have to take a look again now.

    Oh, I'd probably be prepared to pony up for a coin-doubler, too :)

    Well I gave the game a full shake down. I'm out of fuel and forced not to play.

    All in all it's actually a great game. I like the mechanics. I like the controls. I like the checkpoint system. I like the power ups. I like the sense of speed. I like the voice overs. It gives you that old school arcade feel that I grew up with. There are so many things the game does right. I love the slip streaming too.

    But and a major BUT, Then you get stopped from playing by the actual game because of the energy system. They want you to keep paying and paying just to play. It's frustrating. I would buy an unlimited fuel IAP. I would buy a coin doubler. I would even buy gems to get that really cool looking black car. But I can't spend a dime when I can't play when I want to play. So again I ask Miniclip to please address this so players like me can actually give you money for your game and I can enjoy it. I don't even mind the ads that aren't forced because you get rewarded coins. I also do like that any purchase removes the interstitial forced ads. I'm happy with that. But you need to make it so I can purchase an unlimited fuel IAP. I will spend more money in your game then.

    I'm really disappointed. I really looked forward to this game.

    The game mechanics are similar to Asphalt Overdrive but more of an endless+checkpoint racer. Combos are a bit hard to pull off and doesn't feel rewarding enough to maintain a long chain.

    Timer restrictions make me not dive too deep and I'm fine with it.

    Once I'm at a point where I have to wait to play the game, I am pretty much done with it.

    lol my girlfriend hates free to play craps especially endless runner but surprisingly she liked this maybe because of the arcade feel or the check point thing , i don't know, its kinda great, but i'd rather waste my time grinding with real racing 3 other than this

    I would play the hell out of this game. I'd buy gems for that black car. But with the game saying I can only play 4 times before I have to wait or pay money for more gems to buy fuel, nope. These tactics have to be stopped. I do want to pay, I don't want it free. I believe in paying for things. But I won't pay and keep paying and keep paying.

    Another update. Another loss for them. They will never make money from me. If they would add unlimited fuel IAP and cloud save support so you don't lose purchases I'd actually spend some money.

    But no. Another update and still no change in their iap structure.

    Cool! Thought I was the only one in the forums still playing this game.

    I haven't reached a paywall because of the fairly short waiting time for the fuel. Playing each run for around 10 minutes or more negates refueling time so I technically have unlimited fuel.

    That said, the gems are crazy expensive to unlock the best cars so I grind them in daily login and getting to certain level-up checkpoints with gem rewards. I guess that's my main motivation to playing this regularly.
