Community Insight:
Keep updating it dont stop updating it game is so fun.
When first time we were playing we loved this game but now we love more bro this game is fire mann.
It was a good game at first but as more updates came in the laggier it has gotten, some stuff in the game dont even work and we purchased no ads and somehow we still get them.
Its a great game but it just needs more money options because today we are going to buy some stuff on this game.
We downloaded this great game but theres not much to do, we mean we already beat the career mode in a day and its just getting to easy.
When we try to get in it doesnt let us we even tried restarting please fix this.
We love the game Ive even spent 10 or so on it. We would love to see more cosmetics like under glow decals or maybe open up an online were we can import custom designs so much potential devs. Also maybe having more realistic engine sounds etc.
Does anyone else experience experiencing when logging in it freezes and doesnt log you in.
Read the Reviews and thought Id give it a shot. Its promising, but needs major improvement. Upon first load, we had trouble selecting a character due to screen fitment issues (IPhone). Immediately after character creation we were greeted with a micro-transaction promotion (NOT a good look). Purchasing ANY Vehicle requires premium currency instead of regular coins which is just diabolical. As far as gameplay, the control schemes are decent, but essentially a shell of what PCR and Apex Racer have mastered. The entire garage and customization UI is cluttered, and we had trouble navigating it even more-so due to screen fitment issues. There are also a few typos in the story mode dialogues. As a new game, all of this is understandable besides one thing, the insane amount of micro-transaction promotion. Micro transactions are normal, but Apex Racer, and PCR have never blocked ALL car purchases behind premium currency. While we do have hope for this one, it does also have slight hints of being a Clone just to make a quick buck.
We thought it was a spin off to Pixel Car Racer, so we decided to give it a try. Story mode is weird and in order to continue you have to upgrade your car, but car tuning is even weirder. It doesnt let you fully customize the gear ratio, and the customization on the game is bland. In order to buy cars you need crystals, so coins dont really have any other use than just buying parts.
It has everything you could ask for in a mobile drag racing game, Career Mode, Cruise, and Drag?! Gonna be playing this for a life time! Only critic we have is that we cant paint the bodywork we buy from the garage. Other than that 10/10.
Game is awesome and super fun. There is not another game like it. Its pretty cool because there is like a career mode to race other big racers which is cool so you have the motivation to continue to build your car and even a mode to make money. What we found really cool was how many parts were in the game! ECU? Intercooler? WOW! We dont usually write reviews but props to this team who counties to make the game better. Only problem though is that we are stuck in the Rivals Section we just beat Master nobu but the next rival it says Locked? Why is that? Our car is the Ferrari and its a Class SS fully maxed out but yet we cant race the other rivals? The PP on the car (rating) is 1288 so im not sure why all the other rivals are locked, If we could get this question answered that would be pretty cool. Thanks Pixel X Racer, keep making updates! Hopefully online racing is up soon! P.S Add some more cars.
Us encanta este juego se los recomiendo si les gusta modificar.
Its just worse in every way compared to the OG.
Please tell us best gear ratio for a drag buggati its unclear how to adjust it in the game.
Whenever we click on the second stage of the story it doesnt continue even when we press the start button.
We first got started with pixel car racer & after doing everything you could do on it we looked for a similar game to it & found APEX racer but its quite buggy unfortunately so we didnt play for too long. Then we saw this game. We love these pixel racing games & figured Id give this game a shot. Wow. Out of all three games this is probably our favorite. The art is beautiful, the physics is amazing, the car wraps is awesome. This game blew our mind how good it was. We unfortunately finished story mode within a week but even then they got plenty of other game modes to choose from. If we had to choose something we wasnt blown by was the mods for the cars. We wish it had more options such as manifold & transmission & stuff like that but regardless, this game is amazing. We really hope the devs continue to make this game better & better for years to come. Love this game.
Great game keep up the good work also more cars and customization would be so cool again great game and Im hooked.
Dont like having to pay to race and also pay for parts with cash, atleast add an option to purchase parts with gems.
Please add more cars and wheel/rim options.
Great game love it just only downside is now we got a iPhone 15 the Dynamic Island blocks the shifter paddles would be cool so see a custom button layout option or something like that.
We love this game we have been it was just a little game and its been the funniest game we have ever played keep up the work.
Made the best impression on us, we mean as soon as we open the app Im just blasted with this bumping music that Im currently listening to now. Just overall good vibes.
Game is ok needs better graphics and we know where you got the beats from.
Fun but a lot of adds and once u get to a certain point all the cars are better then your and you cant win and u loose all ur money and get hounded by ads.
We are rating it a 2 and not a 1 star because the art for the loading screen is good enough to at least get another star and because everyone is giving it such good ratings and so we will give the game two stars but we cant play. We open the game and then we are stuck on the loading screen. Im not sure if its just us and we need to wait longer but we have sat on the loading screen for five minutes one time and im not sure if im missing something. If the developer sees this and knows whats wrong please let us know and if anyone else sees this and knows what going on we would also appreciate it if you could let us know why we cant load in.
Good game but it annoys us that if you sell a car then you have to buy more parts like why cant the parts be transferable to different cars n wheres all then tuning all there is the transmission.
Tiene de todo todas las piezas que te puedes imaginar realismo y ms.
We love the game so far but a couple of things we would wish for future updates is when we put a turbo or upgrade a engine part tht when we dyno it it actually increases power when we max out all upgrades it saids its still making the same hp and tq tht it was when it was stock. And could you add a supper charger a blower twin turbos and ect. To add more power to different vehicles and more spots to drag race theres more but so far the game is looking promising. And heading towards the right direction.
Its a good game and we like the concept. Cant wait for more updates.
The intuitive controls make it easy for both casual players and seasoned gamers to jump right in and start tearing up the asphalt.
It gives us the real feeling of modifying a car and the adrenaline rush when you race. This game is the best.
We do like the cars and we realize the game came out recently we love the engine upgrades and outer mods you can put on the cars but we need some new cars.
Im in awe with this game its so awesome we love the clean graphics and the car selection it is top notch and the game does make your adrenaline pump especially trying to get your opponent at the light in drag racing. We love this game.
Am we not doing things right? Because we were leveling up then we had to start upgrading the civic and for some reason Im not winning anything. Am we supposed to buy parts in the same stage or no? We bought a stage 2 ecu and engine with stage 4 pistons, can we do that? But dont get us wrong, this game is cool. More cars though plz.
Played for 3 minutes and we had to watch to 2 adds which means thats an add every 1:30 seconds which is outrageous if your that desperate for money make the game cost money.
Installed this game after recommendation by the App Store. Engaging and fun game that you will enjoy.
We uninstalled and of course im still not able to play because of that blinking start button that doesnt let us start or play. Im done trying to play, imma just find something else.
Literally just copied one of our favorite games and then made it feel too arcade like.
Out of all the Bubble games that are around this game is the best. The way is laying out the levels of challenge is well designed.
While very good this game still misses out on features that would make it much more fun. Firstly there is not nearly enough cars, or in that sense modifications to be done, this leads to a surprisingly simple game. Next there in no doubt needs to be more game modes, while the ones to play are fun they are very costly and will easily take your currency quickly, this leads us to our next problem. Money money is sooo hard to make yet so easy to lose, we find ourselves not enjoying the game as much because we spent half the time out of money, and when your out of money and no ads can play your pretty much screwed. Other than that this game is very enjoyable to play for the most part and Id be glad to see it grow on and become something greater. This game catches our attention very easily and we hope it does to everyone elses.
