Community Insight:
We like the art style but the game micchanics are a little simplistic.
The gameplay is way too fast. Its impossible to get anywhere. Great concept.. But Id fix the speed of it all.
The first time we played it we got bored super super fast, so we you will please add some 3D graphics, we will GLADY play your game thank you.
O we YIG TI GE O Y TIE. We OY T ET OT GO K TO TE IGT IE. O TE EE we TO T we OT EE Y TIKE. We TI GE. GOO OET TOG. TO T.
The angle, downhill angle to be exact, makes sense because the basis of the game is going downhill BUT in terms of playability we would definitely update it to more of a POV feel.
We know a glitch and we're only telling the people who go to our profile on YouTube. (Comment on one of our videos and we will comment your info and we will text you on messenger or something and we will tell you how to get free 1000 every min. Our YouTube is scopeVD. Our name is tre Anderson. (Of course it's on our YouTube anyways).
You have all these cool rides with wheels, but no wheelchair.
This game is really beautiful- we just can't play it for our life. Other Happy M games we've played we've really enjoyed- this runner take looks great but is impossible to play. We look forward to things slowing down and getting to the point where we can play it as well as look at it.
Great concept, but it's very blurry.
Way to fast and can barley see when to jump and it gliches a lot.
We hated the game even before this but it just put the cherry on top!! We went to buy coins and the no ads deal put it didn't give us the coins and it said wont let us restore purchases because apparently we didn't make any!!! Well our wallet begs to differ DONT BUY THIS GAME EVER.
Complicated. Hard to play. Too fast. Hard to see what lane youre in. Have to watch ads for unlocks. Boring.
It is too fast which makes us get confused, please fix this.
It is too hard to see if it is on your lane or the other.
We don't know what those reviews saying too fast are talking about. Are we playing the same game? This game is so easy to handle. By the way, we don't know what to do with those coins. We have thousands of them but we already had all the boards in the store.
Wow it's very addictive game, playing it more Im getting used to this speed more! Again its more easier to play this game turning the device a bit :>.
If your sitting in your room, and you have your iPhone or iPod out and all of your games that you have are boring?? Then get this app. We downloaded this app yesterday and this app will give you hours of fun. If we were you, we would hit (GET), (INSTALL) and put in your password. Get this app :) ;).
It's hard at first but it gets fun once you get used to it.
It's a really fun game but sometimes challenging.
Despite it being difficult to become accustomed to the side-scrolling nature of the players decent, the art and animation are very cute and easy on the eye! The game is fun and a good way to waste time on the bus, train, or sitting at a boring thing your grandma dragged you to. Free, and little to no distractions by ad's. Worth it.
Everybody complaining of it going too fast… This game is so easy! That's why you have a jump button to jump obstacles and you can even switch lanes in mid air! We don't know why people complain about such an easy game.
It's kind of like Flappy Bird because of how hard it is. After a while, Flappy bird became super easy, so maybe this game will become easier too.
Really good game! Just 2 suggestions. Number 1-The game should start off slow and get progressively faster. Number 2- More things to unlock.
Too many options and it goes to fast. Allow a slow start and then speed increase.
This game reminds us of flappy bird and crossy road mixed together its fun to play and has that challenge that you want to beat your freinds at. Its a great game, we would like to see new vehicles in future updates and maybe more characters Go the distance.
It's starts off way too fast, and we're pretty good at infinite games. It is very challenging, but it's pretty difficult to see exactly how the obstacles are coming at you, that along with initial speed puts at 4 stars in its category. Cool game though.
This app is ok but we feel like he goes downhill to fast It's a very hard game Not really challenging but just harder because of how fast it is going downhill.
The game has great potential and is already very fun but the speed is way too fast to see which lane the obstacles are in or even if there are any obstacles. Slowing down the speed and making it slowly increase as you go would make the game more entertaining. Also, we understand the game is in its early stages but in the near future we think there should be more prizes with higher prices but offer better protection against obstacles and maybe even 2x the coins or other types of powers. We gave 3 stars mainly because of the speed of the game. We would give 5 stars otherwise. Please fix. THANKYOU.
We have never wrote a review before, but because we want this game to become better for it has a ton of potential, the gameplay is too fast. We thought we were the only one who could not catch up and began feeling frustrated, not frustrated in a good way where we would spend our real money to buy game money for the different cars, but in a way that we wanted to stop playing the game. Which also we found weird that all carts cost 1000? Yet we continued playing because of the art and the colors of this game are perfect, we would love to know who designed it!!! Yet the gameplay is too fast, and there is not enough reaction time to avoid the obstacles, the perspective of the slanted road does not help either, only makes it hard on the eye and the beautiful design.
Most of people here agree that the game is extremely difficult, great idea, nice graphics but the difficulty needs to be changed.
We can't play it, it is very fast. But we like nice animations an graphics.
Pretty game and interface, but extremely difficult. Little to no time to react to obstacles. Maybe we're just not quick enough for a game like this. Simple and repetitive without the charm of a tough one tap like flappy bird. It had the potential to be a pretty casual timing-tapper like Crossy Road but is stifled by its high difficulty. We would suggest a landscape version and adjusting the pitch of the hill to allow a slightly larger window to make a decision as you approach an obstacle.
We're writing this review because right when we downloaded the game, we started to play it and immediately became cross eyed!!! It starts way too fast. With the downhill view it's very hard to tell what you're doing especially since it's so fast from the start. It should start very slow to have an opportunity to figure out the buttons and the game flow. 2 stars because it has potential.
Needs tuning. Move dude higher up on screen.
Seems like a fun game but goes way to fast for the little bit you can see coming. We deleted it. It went a little slower or pan out some to see more we would keep it. But it doesn't even give you a fun chance.
Its kinda fun, but it hurty eyes, its too fast, for exm on our iPad we cant play, our eyes start tearing.
This game is a lil tough on the eyes for any age group 1: its tilted 90 degrees 2: you have about a (times ourselves) 1.8 to 2 sec response before you slam into something Just a lil to tough for a quick pick up and play game.
This game is IMPOSSIBLE!!! We've had it for a couple weeks now, play it often and still our best is 17. If your looking for an entertaining and engaging but slightly easy, this game is not it! Have a lovely day.
Pros: kinda addicting Cons: too fast, those 2 guys r annoying, VERY DIFFICULT TO C WHICH LANES HAVE THE OBSTACLES AND WHICH DONT!! (Change the pov), vehicles r stupidly priced Fix all this and it can become 5.
The way you have to look at the game hurt our eyes because of the angle and it goes so fast we can barely get past the first few obstacles.
Super laggy. We can't play thins game without dying from the lag.
It is really hard in the beginning it a wast of time watching it and waiting for it to download we wouldn't recommend it.it also goes way to fast you have no time to think.
Overall it's a good concept and well executed game.just wish it would be a little slower so it could be more enjoyable and less aggravating.
Controls are glitchy and you can't see obstacles coming in time to react. Don't waste your time.
We love this game but the character moves so fast it hurts our eyes to look at it. It is nearly impossible to play because of how fast obstacles come at you. Maybe you guys could slow it down a bit, then this would be 5 stars.
Good thing this game is free. The beginning starts off way too fast and switching lanes almost ensures that you're gonna hit something.
This game is not possible to play. We played for about 4 minutes and deleted it. All the different rides you can select cost 500 coins, which is strange. But we're giving this a 1 star because the game goes by way to quickly, killing you after five seconds of playing. This game needs some work.
Worst game we ever played whole our life don't waste your timea.
The perspective makes it nearly impossible to know if you should jump or change lanes. Don't waste your time.
