Traffic Racer is now the #1 Top Paid iPhone App in the USA App Store. Also #1 Racing game in over 25 countries, including Germany, France, Italy, Russia and Turkey. Thanks for your support. I was not expecting this! A big content update is coming in the next update. Stay tuned!
Thanks for your suggestions. However, I have already tried adding iCloud and failed it. (There were data loss issues). So I decided to wait for more.
Sooo, I noticed this popped up to #1 on the Paid Charts. It was weird to me; I guess because it's been a while since a genuine indie game made it up that high. I wanted to check it out (because I'm naturally suspicious), but I am super impressed after watching the videos and reading through the forum. My apologies for doubting you. I've bought the game and will let you know what I think at some point in the next few days.
Okay, some opinions. First off, props for creating a solid and fun game. I'm not exactly sure what the spark is that makes this game so fun, but fun it is. My guess is that it's in the simplicity: I don't have to worry about corners and turning, the controls aren't cumbersome, and the graphics aren't the focus of the game. That's not to say that the car models don't look good, because they really do. I just mean that you're not trying to cover up mediocre gameplay with a pretty game. (Does that mean that graphical improvements are bad? Of course not. But the mechanics are definitely more important.) I haven't gotten very far in, but it seems like I earn money at a pretty good rate. Not too fast or too slow, so that is well balanced. I like that you have the option for watching videos to earn money, but don't force ads on anyone that doesn't opt for them. Good job! The soundtrack is good. Nothing eloquent here; I just like it. Quibbles: This is pretty minor, but I'm a little anal. The road lines aren't correct (at least for the US; they may be right other places). In one-way, the center line should be dashed to signify that cars can change lanes at any time. In two-way, the center line should be yellow, which signifies that cars across from it are going the opposite direction. If you wanted to make a hardcore traffic rules mode, you could do all kinds of fun stuff with the lines and colors (which would actually be pretty fun and educational!) I also don't love the app icon, but I don't have a suggestion. Maybe a border or something. Maybe something simpler. I don't know. Other people may like it (it's just my preference, after all). Not really that important. Overall, I'm definitely enjoying it. Good job!
@Jerutix , thank you so much. Wow, this was one the most accurate reviews that I have ever read about Traffic Racer. You are right about lanes btw, I was too lazy to make it right As you said, simplicity was the key for this success.
Thanks, I will be glad if you can share your impressions. BTW, an update is almost ready. (v1.7). That will bring 2 new cars and many improvements. I can't submit it right now because submissions are closed due to the holiday
Hi again, I just wanted to inform you that Traffic Racer has been updated to version 1.7. It brings 2 new cars, many improvements and bug fixes. Here is the full change list: - Added 2 new cars - Adjusted dimensions of cars - City night is now slightly brighter - The models of some cars are updated - Braking is now more effective with higher levels - Slightly increased money income - Lots of bug fixes and improvements
@dev: The new logo on the screenshot looks better than the one in the game. Why not using the same one?
There are two reasons for this: 1- We cannot sell paid apps on Google Play from Turkey. 2- iOS version has no Ads, however Android version has Ads.
Hi again, After a few months delay due to the WP8 release, update 1.8 is finally available on all platforms. Here is the changelog: - Added 2 new cars - Added horn (optional) - Added new control mode: Analog Slider - Added iOS7 MFi controller support - Added fire effect for the second exhaust if available - Added sharing option for the aftergame score screen - Added cash doubler IAP - City night now gives 2x cash - Adjusted HUD button sizes for different resolutions - The models of some cars are updated - Traffic reacts better to horn/headlamp - Fixed distance calculation - Ambulance drives faster (if road is empty) - Optimised app size - Lots of bug fixes and improvements
