Love it, scratches that Trackmania itch I didn't know I had. It's raw skill building, the difficulty curve is 'easy to learn hard to master' quality with many great ideas and it all just comes together perfectly. It's not even necessary to pay for IAP as gold can be acquired fairly fast by doing the daily competition races, plus you can only spend them on cosmetics. A+ game, A+ development philosophy, keep up the spectacular work.

Its a decent trackmania clone. It has plenty of tracks to race on, daily challenges, and car customization. All it needs now is a track editor. My only gripes are that the game is always online, and that the prices of the other vehicles in the game are ludicrous. Its like 6 dollars CAD to buy the whole game, but if you want to use any of the other 4 vehicles, you're looking at around 20 dollars per car if you opt to buy them. I get that they're just cosmetics, but damn is that a steep price.

The core game is great. However, too many technical issues ruin the experience. My device is fairly capable (SD 888, 8/128GB) at running this game at ultra+60fps, but for some reason, the graphics glitches like crazy when at anywhere over low settings. The sound balance for stereo speakers is poor, most of the sound just comes out from one of the speaker, and it switchs weirdly in the middle of a race. These issues need to be addressed, otherwise, the game is definitely interesting...

So this is a premium game but full online. offline tags are just lies. good graphics, but no bots/AI with difficulty adjustment, maybe no lap settings or track picks either. I don't think there is a local multiplayer mode with wifi because it can't be played fully offline, really frustrating and not fun. thank you for this disappointing experience. tabletop racing world tour and grid autosport is definitely better as paid game!

It's better than 99% of all mobile racing games and has an edge over the big titles too. Lightweight, comparably short loading times (perfect for occassional play while waiting a bus), very dynamic, nice graphics, highly customizable controls, straightforward gameplay. Surely there are some flaws or things to improve, however 5 stars are fully deserved.

As someone who grew up on Trackmania, I absolutely adore this game. Racing game based purely on skill. No ads, no P2W, no shenanigans with some cars being faster than others, no car performence upgrades, only IAP is cosmetics. If you want to get better times, you can't buy better cars or upgrades, all you can do is "git gut". All it's missing are checkpoint splittimes, leaderboards for each track, track editor, real time multiplayer, and some community and ranking system. Solid 5/7

Essentially a Trackmania but on mobile and it's honestly great. Finally getting to it after playing the "beta" on TapTap a few months ago felt like a huge glow up. Frame rate is better, more graphics options and all that. I'm also glad they have done away with the cash system the game had for unlocking new tracks. This is a good one, and if you enjoyed Trials/Trackmania you'll enjoy this.

15 levels into the game and I'm not even 10% of the way to buy a new car. They made the cars too expensive so people purchase gold off the store using real money (which are way too overpriced imo) or they have to grind for days to buy their first car. Not only that, the game also gets boring super quick because the levels look the same, and there's only one race mode (the timed run type of thing). Unless the developers put in some major improvement into the game, it is totally not worth buying.

I have to say they literally pulled it up & yea it worth money!! Though in first(as ivn't gone so far) its only time based races with ghosts... which may effect the experience in long-term. But, the world making & graphics quality is far above than the word "great". "If you are a racing lover it worth a try!" Thanks for developing this game. I just ask for lap racing with a much longer time duration.

Great game but there's obviously some exploits... I'm in second, and a guy in first is deliberately slamming into walls and skidding side to side to gain speed lol. Kind of takes away from it imo idk. He's power sliding left and right on a straight before corner one, then slapping a wall followed by more seemingly uncontrollable weaving while on a downhill... It's on the seond track. He's literally zipping off with a huge lead on corner one while basically sliding left to right on a straight?

Very well made game. Similar style to the Trackmania games, love the customization of the cars and the also love the amount of races you can do. Has the ability for ghosts to track your personal best or battle against the world record! Does include micro transactions but I personally believe they're fairly priced. Gold can be purchased but also easily obtainable, suitable for free-to-play players. It also tests your phone for which graphics to use, which I thought was really cool

Really love game without stamina / ticket etc to play it. Also, the game is great, graphics gorgeous, gameplay smooth, even though there is a time the game lag after you restart the run for few times, you can just end session and start again to refresh it. Really love the bgm, and since the shop only for cosmetics, this make the game not pay to win. Really recommend this game. Thank you for making this great game.

Fantastic mobile "drift racing" experience. Doesn't shove ads down your throat at all. Not pay to win. Great achievements and daily rewards can be obtained in a few minutes of play a day. I got it on sale but it is worth its regular price. Fantastic graphics for a mobile game. Yeah it uses battery. But that is to be expected for a demanding title. But I don't play long enough for it to be an issue. Great work!

I absolutely adore this game. But I think some updates are required. For example, I think a track building would be essential in the growing playerbase and playtime itself. More songd to the races would be amazing. More cars, decals, numbers, colors, wheels etc. are a must. Multiplayer would be amazing if it was possible to add friends and play with them on the same track for let's say 5 minutes, best time wins. At the end of the round back to the lobby rinse and repeat. Thank you for your time.

This game is awesome, but I do have one issue. I bought this game thinking I could play it offline (one of the games tags is "offline") but when I tried opening it with no connection, it didn't let me play. This game would be a 5 star if it had some sort of an offline function, or if the tag wasn't misleading. However, if you have a stable connection, this is one of the best car games I've played on mobile.

This game is so much fun! I downloaded it just to try it out and to see how the graphics/picture quality was, see what kind of controls it had, see how smooth it ran, and among other things just I liked it so I didn't expect or really intend to play it long but I've been playing for well over an hour now with no end in sight!!! I mean... That right there should tell you everything you need/want to know!!!

It's a really fun arcade racer. However, the steering needs work. Base setting sensitivity is already maxed out, and it's delayed and spotty at times. Makes holding tight track lines hard. Still a worthy racing game and could be worth the 4.99 asking price if you drop the overpriced gold bars. It's pretty insulting to pay 5 bucks for a game and then find out you can't unlock new rides without either playing for months on end to amass gold bars or buy a 2k bundle for a very unreasonable amount.

Alpine medium 1 seems impossible.if you don't get a perfect line you glitch on landing. The game is great until you need to jump and then this game becomes frustrating when your car is in the air. If the jumps weren't buggy on every race with them this would be amazing. I also noticed most people around my rank stopped at a jump level or this one.

This game is amazing, I love how its like a mobile trackmania. But I do have a few requests that I feel would make the game a bit better. 1) Some more music for races, it cycles through the same 3 songs when racing on a track 2) Maybe a track editor, and community tournaments that let you vote which community made track to race on. 3) Real time multi-player, like trackmania, where you can have multiple people on the same track at once, instead of ghost times. 4) More car bodies if possible.

It's a good game that provides a lot of control options. It's like Trackmania with more Ridge Racer style handling. It's downsides are that it's gyro controls feel laggy and it requires an Internet connection to play, so I wouldn't recommend it if you don't have data, and plan to play away from wifi.
