    Hehe, I kept this one a bit quiet (I have got another one coming in the next few days with some optimisations for AppleTV). This is more ground work for the next one :)

    Thanks

    It is my 3rd child! :)

    I love making games, especially racing games, and I just want this to stand out as one of the best, at the minute I'm moving onto the next game so watch this space! I've put in ALOT of effort (> 5 years) so I need to make it pay!

    Thanks!

    So I recently bought this in a sale, I figured I would try another racing game after enjoying Horizon Chase. I should have realized how different they were :p. That being said, the game still fascinates me, since navigating tough terrain/tracks seems to be the goal as opposed to just speed.

    Could someone point me towards a good guide on how to get more skilled at handling the cars? I can tell theres a lot of nuance required to use them well.

    Horizon Chase is a great arcade racer, I should get back into that on my new iPad.

    Yes, RR2 is very different, you are right in that the terrain is a obstacle and it's all about carrying the momentum of the car most efficiently through the corners. I started to play RR2 like an arcade game and rapidly fell off the track.

    Once I started to feather the throttle a bit more and "feel" the tracks it got a lot better. I suggest working up speed gradually in a car of your choice and just learning the tracks.

    The sense of achievement when you get that perfectly timed handbrake dab and slide through a corner is great. RR2 does a great job of providing a real sense of the weight of the car and it's interaction with the track.

    The cars are very different and the fastest is not necessarily the best to learn with, I like the Mini-clone for it's tight handling.

    I hope it clicks for you, it's the best rally racer on iOS for my money.

    Thanks for the tips. My "research" led me to watching all the rally-racing compilations on YouTube, and now I realize the type of of atmosphere the game is trying to recreate. The handbrake and weird announcer make a lot more sense after reading up on rally racing too.

    I saw the dev asking how to make the game more accessible, so here's a suggestion from someone who didn't even know what rally racing was. Maybe have a short tutorial where you give a summary of Rally racing (or at least how it differs from regular racing), an explanation of the terrain types, and an explanation of what the handbrake is for and drifting.

    I had a 4S with iOS 7.1.2 and now I have an SE with the latest iOS. I've reinstalled the game and it has detected my old save. When I try to run the auto-detect graphics, the game crashes. EDIT: the game crashes constantly, whichever track I choose to play. Should I reset my savegame?

    Does it crash simply even loading into each track? Are you on latest?

    Yes, I tried running in the USA and it crashed. When it tries to load a track it crashes. iOS 10.3.1 and latest game version. EDIT: deleted and reinstalled and now it works. Thanks!

    Curious, how hard would it be to implement the ability to run the game to match 120hz on the new iPads? Is the game hard capped at 60fps currently?

    The game runs at the device vsync, there is no capping, if it cannot reach that then is simply scales down and you will most likely see tearing (however my phone runs at about 50hz maxed out but you cannot notice the tearing)

    Just wanted to bump this because I’ve been playing for an hour after a bit of a break and had forgotten what a gem this is.

    If you’re a racing fan and haven’t played this you’re missing out.

    I finally get an MFI controller this week, looking forward to getting back into RR2, the feel of the cars is super well done and damage modelling ace.

    I know I sound like a paid promotion but ...

    Thanks!

    The reason it has all been a bit quiet is because I've been working on the next game, and it has taken a bit longer than I first thought (especially as I've been having work done on my house at the moment, which I'm doing some of!). Shortly I'll be releasing some screenshots of the new version for you all to enjoy as well! I've added stuff like full decal/car customisation, upgrades, career mode, hot lap mode etc etc, and basically made it all a bit more "proper game" like.
