Community Insight:
We used to play this game as a little kid.
Tbh we have no idea what the other reviews are saying about then changes the gameplay is the same as we remember it from 10 years ago. Still fun and stupid in a fun way.
Pls introduce way to disable ads.
Thank you so much for bringing the game back to what it was.
Yurp.. Really fun and addicting game, great to pass time. We love it.
It been a long time since we have played this game. It was a part of our childhood! We Love this game.
We played this game as a kid we were maybe 8 or 9 and a few years ago we tried to find it again but we never could, until today that is. Oh yea and we are also 19 years old now so.
This game is, we love it, our uncle showed us it, we love cracking our pelvis under the weight of a dump truck.
You get to ride your motorcycle on the highway with all cars it gets to the hard part Im having fun.
We LOVE highway rider so much we play it pretty much everyday. The only annoying thing is that there is an ad almost every time you crash. If you can reduce the ads that would just make this game so much better. If we could add anything to this game it would be online multiplayer. Like a way that people can ride together and cut up between cars together like riders do in real life. But anyways thank you battery acid games for making this game.
Ive always wanted to play this game but never could remember what it was called until earlier this week. We love the game but we miss the old hospital senses that showed after you crashed.
Played it since we were 7, was awesome.
Please make ads removable we will literally pay money to get rid of them.
Everything was easy to learn it was just so fun five stars.
So what happened to the helmets to the game.
This game is so much fun, download it, we highly recommend.
Just a classic game thats so great with little to no flaws. Not to mention this game saved our son from terminal brain cancer, its the best game on the App Store.
This morning we are going grocery shopping at Wegmans.
This game is the best motorcycle game.
Amazing game five stars very fun.
This is a awesome game very entertaining but a couple problems with the new update if could add back the old characters like the zombie or the police officer and also add back the different music some of the characters had and no offense maybe youll get some of your fans back.
Hello developer you dont have to change everything but please add some kind of classic game mode like the old version and we had every single character unlocked and now everything is gone.
Now this game is just Cool its pretty nice but the thing we dont really like is how the game changed we remember playing this game on the old version and we really enjoyed it Now its 2023 and we tried to find it and we did! Its just not the way we expected. Now the game has newer graphics and quality but we miss the old version. Because we remember laughing our face off whenever id get ran over on purpose because we liked the satisfiyng sound and we really enjoyed it! But now im sitting here writing a review thatll probably wont change the game at all. Now developers if your a actual person and not a bot Please, Either add a app thats the old version or maybe change the game. Now please we really want you guys to do something about all of these reviews. Just PLEASE.
This was the best game to us a legend.
We use to play this game when we were little and our mom got rid of the game and we Ben trying to find it and no we have it and it brings back memories.
So fun and challenging download it now.
We miss some characters like, Tom The Police, Hellcat, And The Hunter. And Also, we Miss Free Stuff Instead of buying gas caps. Could you please Bring them all back? Thank You.
This game really make us like boys.
We miss the old one can you make speed junkie have a helmet and make hellcat and robo and make cool flying ragdolls.
This game is a masterpiece and our childhood game that we never play in years.

We played this game for a few minutes then we noticed a glitch when we playing we dont touch any thing but we crashed besides that the is the best motorcycle game we ever played.
Add them back because they were the best like the medical scene were the character had crutches and a bunch of stuff but can you give the speed junkie guy to have the helmet again please add the old stuff back.
We like this version but we thought that the old version is better can yall bring it back im begging please.
We originally downloaded this game back in 2018. In 2018 and up until about 2021 (when we got our new iPhone), ads were minimal. NOW, after every race there is an ad. Also, rag dolls should be added into the game.
This game is fun to play when youre bored or Win thinking about a motorcycle but you need to fix the ads geez release your barely in the game theres an adddddd popping up where is fix it.
The older skins were a lot cooler! We still enjoy the game, however we just wanna use our old skins like the zombie, robocop, etc.
The game could use more motorcycles and stuff other than that its pretty good.
The controls could be a little better but it is still a good game.
Im of much of a gamer but we do ride and we do find the game to be an enjoyable way to fill time when we find ourselves having to wait.
Honestly they ruined it with the new version. If it was possible to make a setting to change the game to the og graphics and physics it would bring that feeling back.. And the moment we saw the ad after just dying once had us lokey tear up ngl, and the gameplay is slower than it used to be, but that could be just the fact Im old now but still.
This game has been out for years now longer than fortnight theres time for another up or can we go back to the older version we were way better there where more characters and bikes and when the characters die they used to come out the hospital.
This game is ok, the is a lot of things which should improve in the future like making the game more realistic. For example the cars that that are there arent that realistic, second every time you crash your character falls down the same way, in the future if you crash make it realistic and make the cars more realistic. Also to get improvements on the motorcycles or get another one it is very difficult. In the future make it easier. Otherwise the game is good.
Why change something that works? And Ads every 5 seconds its ridiculous.
Love this game but no sound on our we pad pro What's going on ? Only app w no sound Deleted it reloaded no difference Like others loved it when it works.
Just fix the adds, every time you play you get add blocked.
Overall this game is fun. We play with the ads and we get an ad after ever ride, but you can skip the ads after a couple of seconds. There are different challenges and races, so it doesnt feel repetitive. However, this game isnt really a friendly game for people with dominant right hands. To start off, the game is played with your device tilted. You can play by touching the screen or tilting your device. If you chose to play by touching the screen, it only works on the left side. This game would be much more convenient if it allowed us to pick our own preferences in the settings. The settings give us very little control over the gears layout. We think letting us pick our preference would be a great update to get in the future. Otherwise, great game.
We used to play this game all the time when we were younger. It was great, hilarious in fact, the rag doll physics, the medical bill, the scene when youre in the hospital, the characters, the list goes on. Since Ive just rediscovered it it seems like there mustve been a period where they updated the game a bit, had some backlash and then adjusted it a bit to appease the angry players. This is great and the devs are definitely on the right track but we think theres more to do. Nonetheless, we do like some of these changes as well, but id really appreciate it if we could get some support here if you agree, and possibly some attention from the developers. This game would make a huge comeback if you guys brought back the old characters. We remember there being an astronaut!! Why would you ever remove the astronaut?? It was the coolest thing in the game. There was also a police officer, and maybe zombies, plus the riders wore helmets and that made them look cooler. Im gonna be honest, we get that the devs wanna change up the game to keep it relevant but when you take away what the player loves most about it, it will not help. The new characters are just random people.. Nobody wants to be josh, or michael, or sarah, they want to be an astronaut or an alien or a robot or zombie or something, this is just common knowledge. And please give speed junkie his helmet back, he looked way cooler and there is no adequate justification for taking it off, prove us wrong. There also must have been a problem with the old ragdoll physics or something because now when the character bails they always exit in the same position. One of the best things about this game was the unpredictability of where the guy was gonna go. We get it, maybe there were bugs or something didnt seem realistic enough, but we can assure you there is not a single player that prefers these new crash physics over the old ones, we do not care if they are buggy or unrealistic (which we dont even remember them being) and its much better when the guy just goes flying wherever, its way more entertaining and at the end of the day thats the only thing that the players care about. There was also no reason to remove the hospital screen at the end, it was a unique, funny restart screen with character unlike other games that just had plain restart screens. This set this game apart from others and made it better. You guys still play the same beeping sound just bring back the O.G. Restart screen. Apologies for the criticism and we get that you guys arent trying to ruin this game, but please for the love of god, it used to be more popular for a reason. On another note, we like that you guys have added different camera angles, a brake mechanic, motorcycle upgrades, custom colors, and a new separate challenge game mode with its own map. These changes have been added on top of the game and have not interfered with any important core mechanics. (other than maybe braking which we dont think is necessary but is not a problem at all) Overall, It seems like you guys want make the game more realistic and we think the game is losing its flavor.
This game was awesome with Game Center multiplayer, we would give it a five star for the same multiplayer game-mode. Thanks for making this.
