Community Insight:
After reaching around level 256-268 or so we had to start over because the finished car wouldnt leave the screen.
Like the title says, clone of CVC with some interesting added ideas that are half baked, much worse writing and dialogue, and the same monetization push that plagues all of these games. The idea of adding in interactive elements to make working on the car more dynamic is a great one, it is executed in such a rudimentary way; it would have been cooler to have actual control over the tools and have consequences for how well you use them. Puzzle games are not as fun as CVC, and the frustration of the seeming randomness of losing at easy levels as you progress, coupled with the really bare bones story and writing make this a disappointing take that could have been really unique.
This game started fun, but the developer try to force you into making monitory purchase you really done have to make if it played on its same level. They add targets to remove when youve already reached the goal. Then you run out of moves and buying time or lives becomes necessary to progress! Start over? You run into the same scenario as your previous game. It becomes frustrating. Soooo we delete the game. Not worth it.
The game seems like it was abandoned by the developers. Hasnt been updated in over a year. But they need to change the music. We feel like Im playing a toddlers game cause of the terrible music. Also, the games needs a serious update in graphics, gameplay, etc. But it has the potential to be a great game.
The game was pretty good at the beginning but it trys to force you to spend money when you get up in the higher levels.
We like the game overall and enjoy(ed) playing it. But it freezes/crashes about once every two hours of gameplay. And apparently Ive just finished the game, having built the eighth and apparently final car. We tried contacting the company to ask questions about it but they dont have an in-game feedback option, and their website contact form doesnt work. Seems like they dont care much about this title and dont want to hear about it.
More solving puzzles than restoring cars.
More cars we love this game and we have completed it.
We love this app a lot the only issue we have is that you get no power up to help you with difficulty levels unles you buy them we would even settle watching a advertisement.please fix this little issue other then that great job.thanks karen.
This is a great beginner game for boys and girls in educating them how to restore cars (at an early stage). Its not too difficult for ages 8 plus, even women would enjoy it. As lots of women could pick up tips from this app. Its definitely not designed to teach mechanics what they should already know.
Its literally just candy crush but cars.
