The major update to the original version of the game has arrived. Boost 2 features:

Thank you everyone for your continued support and feedback. Your encouragement and excitement for this game has been overwhelming, to say the least. I continue to look forward to hearing your feedback!

Community Insight:
Love this game, had the first one on our iPod touch yeeeears ago and Ive had this one ever since. Great for killing time especially when internet is dodgy.
Add fullscreen for iphone 11 plz.
So much fun after our coffee kicks in! We seriously love this game to death. Incredibly fun! Definitely worth the money. Can play this game for hours literally.
We bought this app about 10 years ago, upgraded to countless apple iOS devices, and it is as snappy fun challenging and stable since the first day we played it. We dont know how the developers did it, or if the code is so good, but our hats off to them for not letting it go down in quality. The current climate of apps today is subscribing and continuing to pay the developer for something you bought long ago, but these guys really respect the customers time and money and we wanna give them all the praise they deserve.
We just wish it were updated for more recent versions phone displays. Id be happy to donate a few dollars for this app. It seriously our fav iOS game probably since it came out.
Still the best game on iPhone Ive played after all these years. Though its clearly in need of an update.
This game deserves to be remembered when iOS is considered a "retro" os.
This is by far our favorite iOS game. So simple yet so difficult. Unbeatable and still you try and try. Every time you manage to inch your high score is cause for cheering. Addictive gameplay at its very very best. IOS games come and go but this one endures. Ive been playing it since the iPhone 1. So much fun even on that little 3.5 screen. Just got our first iPad and it now melts our face off on the 12.9 display. Highly recommend pairing this with a playlist of 90s era propulsive electronica like Crystal Method, Chemical Brothers, and Underworld. Trust us on this. Note to the developer: we just upgraded to an iPhone X and noticed immediately that various interface graphics, both in the menus and in-game, have become tiny to the point of unreadable, also the HUD that appears when you boost is completely absent. Tried deleting and reinstalling to no avail. A bug-fix update is in order. Please please dont let this game fall behind the times and fail. That would be a great tragedy.
Seriously, Im super sad this hasnt been updated for newer phone sizes. This game is gorgeous.
This is one of the few apps Ive seen that has survived the MANY hardware and software updates for almost 10 years and, besides the stock Apple apps; the ONLY one that has been on every Apple device we have owned since then. Considering Im older and very rarely play games-thats obviously the biggest compliment we can pay this wonderful game! It breaks all the barriers of ease of use, design, exciting, WORTH EVERY SECOND.
Please update for the larger iPhone X screen! Great game but needs updating for the new screen sizes! Great game and its addicting. The time trial is challenging.
This game is a must for iOS user.
This was the first game we got on IPhone when we made the first switch from Blackberry, in 2013. We cant ever delete it because its just a great game; simple in concept, difficult in execution. No ads.
Literally by far our favorite iPhone game.
Really great game and very addicting.
Hours of fun! Theres no downside here.
This game is super funIt passes time very quick and it also is very challenging.Practisw makes perfect.
Super awesome game!we l love it,play it all the time none stop.thanks for making it we really lov it:).
Endless running at its absolute finest! Do yourself a favor and get this.
Trust us this game is amazing.
It's been 5 years since we started playing this amazing game.. And simply, we can't get enough.
Love the graphics. Love the gameplay. Unique and fun.
Thank you for this awesome game, Jonathan. This is a true masterpiece. Atmosphere, gameplay and soundtrack are like no other.
Fun, addicting and simple while at the same time have a different " feel " playing it than most popular games right now.
This is essentially a tunnel racing game, but the visual impact, the sensation of speed, skill, obstacles and real impacts are insane and as addictive as any extraordinary game should be. This game cannot be beaten, we're convinced. But that doesn't matter, you keep getting better and faster and you won't be able to stop. If you love a challenge and high speed driving, this is it, right here. There is nothing quite like it.
Started playing this on our Ipod 4G we believe. Its one of the only games we always have installed on our phone! Just wished they kept updating it to better fit the newer iPhones and IOs.
We love this game. Wish we could start over from where we left off or where we last crashed.
You basically just tilt your phone and try to avoid the obstacles as you go through a tunnel of sorts and there are nice colors and graphics, but it gets repetitive and we wish it had a better music track.
Ive always loved this game. But after downloading it recently it doesnt open. Cant get pass the Game Center screen. Pressing ok does nothing.
Seen this game at an apple keynote ad as a kid and downloaded it. Loved playing it, and still playing to this day, but we have one major issue. 6 years since last update. SIX YEARS. Jesus Christ. With iOS 15 around the corner, we dont think well be able to be able to play this game soon. And whats more irritating is on the developers, it shows they developed other apps updated for the newer iPhone, so that shows huge laziness on their part. When we get an update for this game, our review will get an update as well.
It's really good LOL it's just fab.
Nothing wrong with it except we cant stop.
This dev has great vision, design style and a great team working with him! No we're not a friend, colleague or acquaintance! We're a 50 year old dude that plays very few games. However BOOST 2 & KAYOS have easy but challenging gameplay. The music may seem like it may be "canned" or "stock" it isn't and its fresh! The minimalistic, clean modern design brings a futuristic feel. The gameplay reminds us of arcade games from childhood in the early 80's. So the combination of retro-like gameplay and modern/futuristically designed GUI makes it a very fun, challenging "FUTURO" game.
It's awesome like going on a roller coaster.
We downloaded the first Boost game a while ago, but we deleted it eventually because we didn't have enough space to keep all our apps. Big mistake! This game is at the same addiction level as AA (we're on Level 108) and Crossy Road (high score 262). Thank you for this updated version of a great game.
So so fast love fast so really really get this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!'n.
Very good game but where is boost 1.
Very fun, we like the idea of how it is a spiral and you try not to get hit by the blocks. It also is very addictive because you keep wanting to beat your high score.
Remembering first time playing it on our iTouch 4, it was simply amazing. Having to see the developer continuing his support is great.
The game is awesome and we love the graphics, but we wish there was another mode where there was no obstacles.
It's so much fun and the graphics are sweet , but we were on time travel right about to unlock survival when randomly the hole thing filled with the blocks and kills us. This has happened before and it gets really annoying so besides that it's really great.
Just got it Want to keep playing it Must sleep however.
The menu text is too small to read on a iPhone 6+.
Superb tilt control, vivid graphics and eye-catching colors. Furiously exciting gameplay demands high level of consciousness to weave in and out of the incoming obstacles. Three different game modes, amusing online multiplayer game, GameCenter leaderboard and achievements. Deserves 5 stars.
It's still the boss! CRAZY, HEART POUNDING, INSANE, INTENSE, NERVE WRACKING—What a rush! What more could you ask for.
One of the best games we played on the iOS. The fact that the stage rumbles, opens, closes, twists and turns while changing the camera view makes you get immersed and focused on the game. Very nice touch to be able to make a temporary playlist from your music while playing this game.
This is the app we've had on our phone for the longest. It's gorgeous, plays really well, and we still pick it up every once in a while. It's not littered with ads, it's super clean and polished looking, and we won't ever delete it. Excellent work to the designer.
This is the most amazing game we ever played, even compared to console games. We always had an idea of a super fast paste game with a simple design and this is it. We love everything about this game from the tunnel opening up to survival. We like to play while the colors are inverted so it looks cooler. If only where was like a save point or something so we could explore more of survival mode. Ramps would be cool too.
We like your game sooo much it's so much fun please keep makeing games 8).
