    Yep, I broke challenges and local multiplayer with iPhone controllers. Good news is that I fixed them already and I'm submitting it to Apple :) Stay tuned...

    Latest beta is much better than the previous one I tried:

    - controls are a little bit slippery, hard to stay on the track sometimes
    - not really sure what the weapons are. Is that the point?

    Other than that, really good.

    definitely want to test it! Music is COOOL!!!

    Besides, don't you think that on Apple TV the cars wil be too small? For mobiles that's ok, because gamer's eyes are close to the screen, but when it comes to Apple Tv... things differ a bit:)

    PM me you Apple ID uti4!

    It looks a lot better on the Apple TV actually since there's a lot more real estate to play with :)

    I do feel the cars are a little small on Apple tv. Haven't played it on iPhone.

    Will you add:

    - optional transparency for ghosts?
    - track's map in game?

    Hm, the ghosts used to be transparent, but I think I messed up the shader. I'll look into that.

    A map? As in just a squiggly line to show the progress of all players or an actual miniature version of the track that follows the player?

    played the game on my iphone 4s

    Some suggestions:

    1. there is no settings tab in the game. Usually there're some)
    2. Right Left arrows that stands for turning left or right. I used to mistap several times: when I thought i was pressing the buttons the car went straight ahead. Maybe you should make this buttons a bit bigget or increase tap zone for them;)
    3. I'd suggest adding a kind of a map of a track or something because it's hard to decide where to turn next time. Or make it optional for more casual or core gameplay)

    Atchoo, I fixed the ghost transparencies thank goodness.

    The map will take a bit of time though, I didn't have it in mind at all so there's nothing written for it. I'll tack it in somehow, but it needs to be pushed for v1.1

    Uti4, thanks for the feedback!

    1. The settings are in pause menu. Perhaps I need to add it to the main menu as well, but it's already pretty crowded there. I'll figure something out.

    2. Sure, but someone asked me to make them smaller too. It's a bit difficult to cater to all preferences it seems, but I'll try to find a sweet spot.

    3. It's been requested quite a few times now. I'll work on it!

    Great! :)
    Game don't really need it (Micro Machines didn't have maps and it worked), but it would be a touch of class.
