Community Insight:
This game is awesome. We like it a lot, but we would like to see a lot more tracks (including road courses) and more opponents. (Preferred Amount: 43).
We gotta say this game is good and stuff but everything that needs coins is literally overpriced. Here are our reasons why everything in this game are overpriced. 1. The paint literally costs over 1000 coins to paint your car. 2. Cars cost 30000- 180000 coins 3. Car upgrades cost from 1000-3000 coins.
Game has the potential to be one of the best racing games on here be nice if you could race other players and set a car up plus more laps.
Its true that if you dig deep enough for something good in the game app world, youll come back up with a whopper of a gem. Thunderdome GT is one of those gems. We have been hunting for the right stock car racing game with the right feel to it. Now the game isnt too big on graphics, (game is powered by a well trusted, and widely used sim engine, so its not a point of contention for us) but the bot cars do challenge. The tracks ride and feel very, very similar to actual legendary stock car speedways modeled by higher end games of its type. One bummer: No multiplayer. (Soon, hopefully) If this game added multiplayer, all kinds of gear heads and stock car junkies would flock in the droves to play an outstanding stock car racing game! With smooth action, and sensitivity setting for steering, you can dial in the speed your front wheels turn. (Its a valuable feature we use to tame a loose or a tight condition depending on track.). Another bummer; No brake pressure/bias adjustment. Useful for entering turns on short tracks, Id like to tune the brake pressure to slow down in the turns while on the gas. (two foottin it) Oh! Standard trans is another idea, and could you look into adding a tri-oval track like Pocono Speedway? We feel this game stands to rival other more known stock car games that boast this or claim that, and fall flat on the basics. We had to dig for this game. We found it, and now we will share it around to those we know in app play land who are champing at the bit for a stock car racing game that feels right. Final bummer: Rather limited in upgrades, lacking adjustments and other frills, you will however, spend more time racing a car just tame enough to handle in tilt mode. Once you get out and you have ran a few laps, you get the feel for the track, apex, when to brake, when to get back on the gas. High line, apron hugger, how ever you drive, youll be amazed by how smooth and in control youll feel. Its the real deal. Thanks to devs for a great piece of work! Love to see this game grow.
We like the game a lot, but the game takes up a tiny portion of our screen, we own the iPhone XR, and the gas ruins the whole thing, but besides that, awesome game.
It would be nice to have a road course and also to have damage, pit stops and being able to turn AI like they turn us at Daytona.
The game is nice the crash physics are great but when you crash can you add where you get lifted in the air.
Its a great game, but we can only tilt the screen which really bugs us because its hard for us to tilt our screen so please add a touch steering setting.It would help us out a lot.
So whenever we downloaded the game it just kicked us out for no reason but we waited for a long time and its still going to kick us out but Im gonna try to say again just please work on that.
Its a good game but make it A GAME.
We want to play but It wont let us play because it kicks us out before it loads.
We downloaded this thinking we would get good stock car racing but it kicks us out after 2 secs of loading can you fix this.
It is stupid we have and iPhone 8 and it is not loading.
Crashes every time we try to play Developers are a failure.
We. Remember playing after every one race the game obviously lags and it forces us to exit the game and restart. But it is going to happen every time if it isnt fixed. Please fix the lag because it is incredibly annoying and frustrating.
