Community Insight:
Scrolling though our downloaded apps we came across this one. Please update it to work on IOS haha.
We love it but one flaw they should make it a little easer on the ramp level because it is super hard to keep it going strait.
We absolutely like this game! We have already unlocked all the missions and have been playing because it's fun to drive the hover bike and find all the orbs in the 20 orbs mission. We thought we could suggest where in the pause menu that you could make it so you could choose your own color of the rainbow for the bike instead of seeing red all the time. ROYGBV is the rainbow. For violet, you could assume purple. Other colors like pink, black, and brown could also be added somehow. This would make the game a little more fun to play instead of seeing red all the time.
This game is friggin' awesome. 'Nuff said.
Realistic feel of floating on air with great handling controls…this 5 Star game is a must have for your collection.
Controls get easy once you understand them and it is a fun game.
Although the controls are pretty difficult, the gameplay is just fun, we'd spent hours at a time. WARNING, THE DEATH SPIRAL IS FRUSTRATING. We have soon to buy all levels and we wish to see more to come. Please.
It's great But please fix the controls but other then that it's pretty good. Really fun and challenging you should really try it out.
We love the game and so addicting love it but needs help with controls:) love it.
Great game, controls were hard at first but you get used to it.
It's hard for us but really fun.
This game is clearly for those with a curious mind and a willingness to overcome a challenge. Those of you who said this game was bad and rated it anything below 5 stars, you give up too easily. The controls are designed extremely well and respond with barely any movement of the fingers. Hats off to the designer…awesome game! We kept trying and within minutes we could control the bike like it was our own hand.
This app was great controls hard but not to hard.
Weeee! We LOVE this game! Tilt controls aren't difficult at all; all depends on speed. Touch controls are more challenging, but perfectly appropriate. We haven't bought the extra levels yet, and hope that the last one includes a hover height greater than 4 feet above the ground (as perhaps the hint in the level name seems to suggest). Also a little hesitant after previous reviewer's description of bugginess after purchase. Lots of fun so far, though.
This app is great but the controls are not that easy at first but it's a lot more fun when u get the controls down. And if ur not good at it keep trying and u'll do great.
Someone wrote "the controls are wack"' and "its hard". We say whaa! Yes the controls are hard, but the game is fun!!!! Heck if you want easy, play pacman. Watch out for them light poles they jump out at ya . Ha.
Fun but hard. The hard part makes us take off one star, but it could be five stars if it wasn't so hard.
This game is awesome but needs 1 change or a few when we are driving the craft it drifts to the side, the bike looks like a drone also more locations. We are happy we found a good simulation to play.
Great game but it would be nice if the bike can go higher and there should be more places do drive besides that great game we would recommend it.
It was a great game but there should be a change control option for people who maybe don't like that much of a challenge.
We do think the controls are stupidly hard, but the idea of it is a really good one. Our only recommendation is to make it easier to go in a straight line.
Ok this game is great, BUT, it needs 4 things. 1: more bikes, ( with different functions as well as looks) 2: more places to play, we guess you could call them worlds ( with one of them being a free play with some sort of a garage where you could change your attachment, ex. After burners, laser, trailer. ) 3: more attachments ( give us a twin Gatling gun, or an attachment that lets you hover at a greater altitude) 4: a way to have other players from the Game Center driving with you ( driving in a deserted town can get old, FAST ) Add all this stuff and your game will be smoke'in SWEET !! PLEASE ADD THIS STUFF AND ILL GIVE YOU 5 STARS !!!! ANOTHER THING FOR THOSE KNUCKLEHEADS WHO COMPLAIN ABOUT THE CONTROLS : go to settings then scroll down to the bottom -> hover biker -> steering -> select tilt control -> play without breaking your fingers. Hope that helped. (Knuckleheads).
We wish we had more control of the hover.
This app is AMAZING! We love playin it and it is kinda addicting! Highly Recommend it. We wasn't to fond of the $1.99 in app purchase to get more levels but that's ok,the rest of the greatly made game makes up for it.
Very fun but how do you fuel up? We drive up and dont know what to do. Would be a five.
It needs to have an online type mode where you can play with friends and other players locally and worldwide.
There is nothing wrong with the controls. They work great. It just takes some skill to zip around. Game is different and cool.
It's good but the controls your little complex we suggest downloading the game and see if you like it.
Controls are very difficult but very fun game.
It is kind of good but it is hard to drive and it does not have enough cars one more thing the car does not go high enough.
We really like the game and the concept of the game but we wish we could have more control of the bike the controls are really hard to maneuver. Please fix.
So the controls we hate them so much u have to make a steering wheel for it instead also u should make like a menu so that's u can change up character and hover craft so make lots of changes and we will put 5 stars on pppplllllzzzzz. Because this is a really fun map also have a free roam map with awesome things in it.
Fun little game, but camera is extremely frustrating. You have to control the camera and the bike at the same time. You often end up looking from outside the world, unable to see. Auto camera=better game.
How about an option for control sensitivity. And a free level where you can do whatever you want! This has potential to be five stars.
For the most part we don't mind the controls, although trying to steady it when using the afterburners? Forget it… You need some locking system or something… And backing in a trailer with no wheels to provide a steadiness could really use a tractor beam at the drop off locale to pull the trailer in… Hey, we have hovering cars, why not? But it is fun to just tool around… It can VERY challenging (we.e., infuriating) to do delicate moves! A game should make you smile… When we stop smiling, we think about deleting… We have enough aggravation in our day! On the ipad we find it's much easier to drive with our index fingers, more like pointing the way you want to go… One last thing: driving around in a ghost town gets boring… Interesting concept… Needs tweezing.
We thought u said this was a free roam games . We don't see a free roam option.
It was fun to play but the controls are hard PLEASE UPDATE!!! FIX CONTROL.
We enjoyed the free levels. Yes the controls are challenging to get used to – but felt appropriate for this style of game. We were able to succeed in all the challenges, and wanted to purchase the new levels. This is where we started to have problems. The upgrade has seized up our iPad several times now. It happened mid-game the first time. We uninstalled and re-installed and it has happened again when trying to restore purchases. We hope the developer addresses these issues in new updates soon.
The controls are kind of bad, and one time we got flipped over and got stuck.
The game is fun and all but the controls are hard and so stupid.
This game is so bad so hard to control.
This game is awesome. The one thing u should do wen playing is change controls from slider bar to tilt it is so much fun then.
Too hard to control bike and GET RID OF NAGGING ONSCREEN ADVERTISEMENT! We already paid for the game so quit soliciting business plans and other junk advertisements.
We loved to play this game so much on our iPhone 6s but we updated to IOS 11 and it wont let us play, please update for iOS 11.
We have seen previews of this game and it looks fun but we cant download it bc the games version is too old.
THE CONTROLS ARE LIKE THE WORST!!! NOT WORTHY.
So angry!!!!!!!!!!! Doesn't even have options to change anything here's the real description 3D graphics crazy lever steering 7 levels $1.99 for the rest That's it so small so stupid!!!!!!!!!!!:( :( :( Wish we could rate -1.
Worked during the tutorial then locked up several times. Had to hard reboot our IPad. Dumped the app once we got our system recovered.
If this is what cars are going to be like in 10 years we're going Amish. Ima ride around on a horse cause this is JST stupid. We're deleting it rite now. What a waste of giga bytes.
It was cool for like .01 seconds. Controls need a lot of work.
