Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
Great game just wish they has less ads or an option to pay for no ads.
This game feels unfinished. Here is what would make your game prosper and a game we ourselves would put money into. Adding more cars Player color customizations maybe a few after market cosmetics and vinyls A player shop to make in game purchases with in game currency. Said cosmetics for cars or customizations. Add on to player shop to purchase in game currency with actual currency to fund upgrades for this game that could be really good.
To the developers of this game. So, When we first downloaded this game is was exciting but after a few weeks. It started crashing every time we click on the game. We did a IOS update and restarted our iPad 3 times, Please fix this if you can. Also can you add more cars here are some ideas. Bugatti Chiron, Lamborghini and the new Mustang. Can you also add codes challenges, Tournaments for money and cars. And we need more apps not a garage and a parking lot. And the wheels burst to fast can you do like free play and add cameras so we can change the view it be so much easier. Overall we love the app, Keep up the good wok developers! Sincerely, Christian Jones.
This games awesome, its like drifting RC cars. Passes the time, and the graphics are A1.
The drifting physics are great and we like the style and perspective its in. If they were to add customization to the cars and more vehicles with it this would be a top tier car game for sure. Keep the updates coming.
Fire game. Making an "ad-free" paid option with a one time fee in the settings to combat the many ads within the gameplay would be even more fire plus everyone loves in-game purchases as well . Adding more f and g body style cars ('84 and newer.. Maybe even some 325ci's. You know like the ones you see in the streets of Oakland .. Night drifting would be fire too making the rounds a little longer would keep us entertained more.
Very good game The game play is good and the graphics are astonishing overall 10/10 game.
We know how hard it is to make a game thats online .Note to players : go easy on the ads because thats the only source of income.
This game is AWEESOME the miz voice.
Every time we get in a match our car doesnt move at all.
This game is really good but we would be a lot better if it had a free mode.
Ads after every macth is annoying.
Layout is very simple and easy to use love it! Please keep it that way.
Sometimes when entering a game, our car wouldnt move, so we cant really do anything. It also sometimes happens in multiplayer too, our car would just be stuck in place and we would lose the money that we were betting.
Why cant we just guide it with our finger.
The game is amazing but we wish the rounds could be a bit longer and a lot less ads like one every couple rounds or so cuz most our time playing this game is just watching the stupid ads.
YOU NEED INTERNET TO PLAY SINGLE PLAYER, YOU GOTTA BE JOKING traaaaash.
The field of view is bad, you cant see anything coming up toward the bottom or the sides of your screen fast enough to make a move, the screen needs to be widened out and we feel like the controls are wonky. You click it once and the whole car is sideways. Great thought of the game though.
The new update is cool in all but youll lose most of your money due to the game freezing on you while the other player gets their score up.
Your game is ok but if you are going to add ads after everything match its making your game trash. 1/10.
Your game is so bad we lose money due to freezing in the game and your cars are way to pricey and it is so hard to get money because you will have money for a little bit and be happy then you will come across a person that has the best car and destroyed you, dont buy the game and waste your time it sucks.
The ads after EVERY single round kills it, enjoyed it for the first 10 mins we played and then we couldnt stand it anymore.
Wayyyyy to many ads Game is pretty good but theres an ad like anytime you do anything.
Downloaded the game becuase of one of the ads we saw. In the ad it showed that you could customize your cars and change the paint. None of that is actually in the game. Not to mention ADS AFTER EVERY ROUND. Terrible game. Do not waste you time on it its a cheap money hustle.
This game could of been one of the best games out of you could actually see.
This game is hella fun just want to be able to play more then 30 secs at a time Yes this game is very fun we love the experience only if like you were able to play maybe a infinity mode or timeless were your able too just drift or types of modes. Instead of it being about 40 secs too drift every time.
Bad You should add more maps and give more time to drift. Also a way to change the camera settings Good we like the car upgrades and the coins we get for drifting is amazing and if you do add maps make them cost coins too.
So we love this game we just got it but theres one problem, first we think there is too many ads every time Im done with a round we get an ad, second they should add color options on your car, and lastly more maps Im constantly on the same one. But overall its an incredible game so we totally recommend.
Favorite game on IOS jus wish there was more maps or modes but got 5 mil top score.
Game isnt bad by any means, just one thing is the ads. Im usually fine with them but this game has way too many. You get an ad every time you finish a round and a round is about 30 seconds so your talking an ad every 30 Seconds. This can be demotivating when your trying to get new cars because you have to watch a plethora of ads. Suggestions: – Lower the amount of ads (maybe an ad after 4-5 runs) – Add new tracks (with ramps, and maybe race tracks) – more customization, one of our favorite part of any driving game is customization – maybe a multiplayer mode or even with bots (like a destruction derby) Overall game as lots of potential and Im looking forward to see what you guys do with the game.
We absolutely love this game we like the simplistic Ness of the controls. Its easy and fun to get started the physics they used makes it engaging. Theres a lot that can be desired in this game however Given its a relatively new game we look forward to continue playing in seeing the evolution of this game take forth. Suggestions for the game: – car customization we.e. Color, body kits and mods you can interchange at anytime. – More tracks including ones with jumps or ramps. -Game modes, A larger arena may be needed for this but you could incorporate competition modes where the player drifts around a specified track marked with cones inside the arena.
Great game its lots of fun, but 45 seconds of play time to the 60-90 seconds of ads every single game is really forcing us to not want to play at all. Give us a buy option or cut down some of the ads.
Its fun at first but there are no achievements, one map, and uncontrolled upgrades. There is no point to move on. Upgraded the first car and bought the second. New car is trash.. Start from the beginning and pay more for upgrades. So much potential but just boring quick. Also enjoy that ad after every play.
Would be a cool game if we didnt have to watch a 45sec ad after EVERY ATTEMPT.
We rate this game 4 stars because we personally think that this game needs more improvements like more cars in the game, being able to choose a drift map, and to choose your own upgrades. But other than that it is a super fun game the quality is amazing and its simple thats how we like it.
This game is pretty cool. Pretty much the perfect iPhone drift game. A more in depth customization features would make the game out of this world. Also having a longer period of time would be cool too. Overall though this game is pretty dope. If they added in a street version or free roam drift would blow this game up.
Like the game so far with only minutes of play time. Would like the option to remove advertisements in future updates though.
All it need is new levels and cars thats it other then that it is a good game we love playing it.
This game is okay, but since it is newer, it is missing some features that would make it perfect. First of all, when we are playing the game and the car gets a lot of speed, we cant steer. It messes our drift up and we lose our score. Other than that, we havent noticed any issues, so we have a few requests for future updates, like being able to change, or being able to choose the upgrades you get. Also we would like more cars in this game.
