    Great game! Pure, simple, old-school arcade fun! I really like the tilt controls and how well balanced the cars are. I really hope this game gets more noticed.

    Interesting how the new two-way mode made me improve my score in the one-way track. Still saving money to try out the truck!

    Thanks for the update!

    Thanks hvianna,
    yeah.. although the two-way mode is harder, it gives bonus scores when you drive on the opposite lanes.

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

    I was thinking, it would be nice to be able to see further down the road, especially in the two-way mode. Have you experimented with a lower camera angle? Does it get too easy? Driving in the opposing lanes is pretty much a game of luck for me right now, as I usually can't react fast enough when I see a car coming.

    I didn't try lowering the camera but since it's a much anticipated feature I will give it a try. It may be a dynamic camera angle depending on the speed of the car.

    Oh, I didn't think of it, but a dynamic camera could be interesting! Thanks for considering it!

    Besides these cars, this update will bring many gameplay improvements like adaptive view distance increments, auto acceleration feature and lowering the difficulty of two-way mode.

    Great update! The game is much more enjoyable now with the dynamic camera angle, especially in the two-way mode!

    Very recommended!

    Thanks hvianna, I'm getting really positive feedbacks with this release. Even, I can't stop playing the two-way mode. I didn't think this will be so much fun when I decided to implement it :)

    Thanks, the latest update enhanced graphics even more with 2X anti-aliasing. Still, the game runs @60FPS on iPad2 and above, and @30FPS at iPod Touch 4th gen.

    Seen a few similar looking games to this but i've always been put off by them, i'm glad this one added touch controls so its not just tilt.

    Bought it, gave it a go, really like it. Must admit i was wrong as i wasnt sure i would enjoy it that much. Reminds me of an old 70's toy my parents gave me which was basically 'left right' avoid the traffic type of game.

    Not bad at all, very polished, enjoying this

    Concern: The only thing I still don't get is: why are there 2 columns of cars in 1 lane?

    Suspicion: I suppose there should be 4 lanes but some how the lines are omitted.

    Statement: I am yet to get my hands on this...

    Surprise: Why isn't Connector here? I see this game shines on TV via 24-feet-HDMI(tm) :p
