Community Insight:
This game was so fun to play and we loved seeing the story unfold and we hope to see this game get updated with more levels in the future. This feeds our 80s addiction.
Being born in 1986; This game was A MUST DOWNLOAD FOR ME we hope that A SEQUEL is in the works because THIS GAME DESERVES A FOLLOW UPPERIOD.
We love the game so much we wish there was an option to turn off the music and the driving sounds, we also suggest adding a sensitivity on the steering and different options like rotating your phone or a wheel, it would be cool if u could buy cars and backgrounds and landscape designs.
Game was good and storyline is a nice touch hopefully they make the next part.
We love the way this game looks and sounds! You can tell they spent a lot of time on it The controls are a bit quirky for us or Id give it a full 5 stars. Personally Id like a standard control style with left thumb directional and right thumb gas/brake. But we do enjoy the game this way too.
Really fun game that makes you feel youre cruising in the 80s to some amazing tunes. Great graphics and visuals that capture the synth Miami neon vine. Love it!! Only gripe is, not all cars are available and the game isnt complete. We made it to the second to last level and it said it would be released 5/15. We anxiously await but solid game.
