Community Insight:
This satisfies our itch for anti gravity racing. You do need to work at it a bit to win and progress, but it is rewarding. Plays smooth, and the controls are good.
This game is so amazingly addictive and awesome. This game has so many maps but one suggestion you should let everyone have the unlimited editor on maps that would be great in a future update Im certain everyone would love that. Spring Hill TN.
We have had this game in all of our iPhones ever installed & we play it cause it gives us the almost perfect feel of what a pro space racing on a top end smartphone should be, not to large in size unlike its peers. In fact its a lovely lovely racing video game.
Im best entertained by cosmic games or games that are based in space and this game makes us feel like we are flying a mini spaceship at the top of the galaxy. We were looking for something new and different and this game is certainly that.
As someone who played racing games like Asphalt 8 and 9, ReCharge RC, and Sport Racing, we never knew Id be so hooked into a space racing game, yet Cosmic Challenge altered that thought completely. The racing physics are absolutely amazing, the graphics are smooth and graceful, and dont forget the AI that actually boasts intelligent programming and navigation statistics (unlike the racing AI in Asphalt 8 and Dragon Raja, where they crash and are stuck against a wall). The main reason why we wanted to install this game was to have a racing game to play offline, and seeing just how positively Cosmic Challenge Suited the task, we thought Id give it a try. Needless to say, track builder makes it so things never get old, there are plenty of ship designs to choose from, and the controls are challenging, but in a positive way: This game really is a Cosmic Challenge because its so incredibly addictive, challenging, and different from other racing games out there: give Cosmic Challenge a shot and you really wont have any regrets.
A long time ago in the app store there were lots of ag (anti-gravity) racers, some have come and gone (totally gone and dearly missed like Ag Drive). Some are still available and quite good but miss the point of being a good ag game (like Repulze). Repulze for example does almost everything right but introduced unfavored game mechanics missing the point of ag racers… SPEED. Speed is why we plays these ag games and anything that introduces gates, rings and stuff that puts you out of place for a perfect turn… Just got it wrong. Cosmic Challenge Racing (thats a mouthful) is a good f-zero like ag-racer and speed so far in our playtime has seemed like its main focus (beside the unusual air rotation mechanics). Only time will tell if this air control stuff has any merit because we see none. Actually after our first race we immediately went to control options and switched to tilt steering at max sensitivity and auto acceleration (imo everyone should do this). Only drawback to auto acceleration is no perfect starts (this is just absurd control design but ya what ev). Anyways graphics are pretty darn good, got a very clean look and the ship design is quite nice… Totally f-zero vibes going on here.
Ivanovich games has created an impressive intrigue on the racing genre, as he has made hovercars feel fair, and also fun. This game resembles if Mario Kart 8s Antigrav sections were actually hovering and not just fake hovering.
Theres no way to exit the game and go back to our phone.
Really fun game very well done and it looks beautiful.
As much as we want to play it, this game wont get pass the beginning screen.
The game is god tier but we beat the entire thing so theres really no reason for us to keep it, it needs an update.
This game is a really fun and challenging and we have a blast playing it we also realized that the Saturn space ship is practically the perfect spaceship for the game because it's top speed, acceleration, and maneuverability all equal making it able to out preform almost all of the others and it's almost comical to see the first default vehicle able to blow the other 4 racers out of the water this game is fun and we'll made and we appreciate the kind of simple idea of "pick a vehicle and race it" so good job to the developers and maybe a second version with more ships and levels would be even greater.
This is a good f zero clone + the game is fast paced and demands you to git gud at the game + the games level editor allows to post tracks online you made with your time on them + the graphics look very good for iOS. – we wish that the level editor allowed you to move more – frame rate issues – section 4 level 6 needs to be dialed down the difficulty a bit since you have barely any room for downtime since we were 7 literal milliseconds or half a second over the ghost. – the game crashes on the ivanoich games logo 30% of the time. Fix the negatives and we will give you 5 stars.
This games tracks are so astonishing, and their cars is the best thing but the one and only flaw is whenever we start this game it freezes on the start up screen other than that everything is perfect.
We can play tournament mode, but we cannot receive the rewards! Please fix.
To many bugs in this game! Ivonach, UPDATE IT.
Just downloaded this game 2 days ago, only been able to play once. App opens to white screen and never loads. Tried deleting and then reinstalling with no luck.
Wont open. Stuck on splash page.
Looked fun. Wont load. Deleted.
We cant seem to open the app. We can open it but get stuck on the Ivanovich games screen. It just wont open.
There's no game. It's just a screen with the name of the company. The app doesn't do anything else.
We like the gam e and all but there is one thing that you need to fix to make it more realistic space has no gravity other than that the game is great if you like a challenge.
The game is great, but the only thing we want is more content. We mean there are 2 additional rows for ships! Also some more levels please.
This game just needs one thing turn down the sensitivity please.
Nice way to pass some time. Graphics are cool. Its a bit frustrating at first to keep your ships on the track with no guard rails but you get used to it. Like anything else practice.
Loved F Zero and dig this pretty good.
Ksmlslss, , longest word in the world.
Awesome racing game with a great concept. Reminds us a little bit of F-Zero.
This game surprised us, it's an amazing offline game, the controls are a bit weird to control, but other than that we had no problem with this game.
This game is very good and we highly recommend it to anyone who likes racing games and a challenge. The game is easy at first (except for level 4)but then gets harder towards the end. This wouldn't be a review without complaints, right? Our only issues are that it takes awhile to get money for new ships, skins, and track pieces and also it's hard to turn but you'll get used to it. All you need to do is to slow down on turns. But anyways it is very good, nice graphics and we highly recommend it. One other thing before we close is that in the editor mode ( to build your own tracks ) if you make a mistake you can't go back to delete that one piece. You have to delete everything before your mistake so please fix that.
App won't open fully and just crashes and quits on iPod touch…worthless.
This game is dope, awesome job! +diff. Vehicles +cool lights on vehicles and tracks +weapons +online multiplayer If you add this even with a tag of 2.99$ we'll make the purchase, eyes closed.
This is a very good game, however it's a very difficult one. First of all, the ai of the fastest cars in the game are very hard to defeat, especially in level 4. "Sure, just use the fastest car in the game then" yeah but they can take turns without losing speed and we can't so… Also it's most likely u don't have the Pegasus (fastest car) unlocked at this point in the game. That's our only issue, make the beginning levels easier, and increase the performance of the cars that have better handling or decrease the performance of cars with higher top speed because right now we feel there is no point in using the better handling cars because of how the faster cars can handle almost just as good. All in all this game almost as good as ag drive, it could be better though.
We love this game!! It's a bit difficult but fun.
This is awesome, it helps the player to improve his/her focus , we love it.
The game is very unique to it's graphics and has very good game interaction as you progress through the races with the space ships.
It's cool a little hard to handle but it u get the hang of it pretty quick.
This is one of the greeter game ever.
This app is pretty good and not too hard or easy.
The game is fun. It has a challenge to and it makes it fun.
The games is fun but a big battery waster.
This game we amazing BEST GAME EVER ON IOS the cars are soo awesome.
Most fun space game in a while.
It is a very fast past fun racing game just don't hit any corners or it really slows you down a lot.
The game was really fun and we liked everything except the steering.
Well so far it's a pretty cool game haven't been playing very long graphics are pretty awesome controls are really good so we're enjoying it so far.
Great graphics and sounds. You can't expect anything else.
The game has great graphics and sound effects are great and a wide roster of vehicles.
We got this game it being a multiplayer racing game, and we love it so far.
If you need a game for a plane ride! This is it.
