Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
Love this game, we remember being on it for hours playing with random ppl and chatting in between levels but now its like no one plays it so you cant even unlock other characters bc you need to play with other ppl and win to unlock. We wish more ppl knew about this game.
To be honest, this game is the best, we thinks its way to underrated! We love how sensitive the body parts are we know a lot of people dont like that flaw but we do! We like challenge.
It's just like happy wheels it is so cool who ever made it keep it up.
This game is so good we might cry. The end. Never better words said.
Happy race is fun but we would like to add a few suggestions could you add a character that is called ghetto granny and she would have blond hair and pink hair curlers in it and a pink dress with slippers she would have skates on that had hairdryers on them so she wouldn't have to move but the skates would and a small kid would be on her back wearing a sweater that said best grandchild ever and the whole thing would be an upgrade and a once you download it all you have to do is open the app and there will be a green arrow pointing at the store and all you do is tap the highlighted one that is blue.
So much characters loving it add more please.
Wow racing is amazing levels are amazing we give the makers props.
We like this game because you can destroy kids XD. We also like it because it's so lol full.
We love this game. It is awesome. We love it because it is perfect as a happy wheels on mobile. Plus awesome levels.
This game is awesome!! It's just as fun as happy wheels if not better.
We like the game but can you add new people,maps and vehicles please that would be nice thank you for reading bye.
There should be a free Santa character.
We like this game a Lott thanks for making itfart.
Hey Kathrine! It's us and we wanted to say we love you soooo much and really miss you.
It is the best game ever (we have to admit it's almost better than happy wheels).
LOVE LOVE LOVE this game!!!!!! Just fix the bugs , make new characters, & levels & make it stop crashing.
Well idk if this is happening to others too but we beat the pendulum stage in single player and the target time is 8.18 and our time is 8.2 but it won't let us pass and a bunch of other minor bugs not really bad as far as we're concerned so great job lots of fun.
Such a good game good characters blood good levels and every thing.
Thank you very much for making this game good. Keep it up.
Finally a fun game that we can play when we're board this game is just like happy wheels and its awesome.
We wanna throw a helmet at a hamster.
Writing a game isn't easy but TotalJerkface has taken way too long to give us a mobile version of happy wheels. Thanks to you we know have a substitute! At first we wasn't sure we liked it as much but now that we've turned on tilt controls we find that it's really a great game and the online vs mode is a blast.
Great game just very aggravating!! We beat 9 levels but can't unlock the the guy. We threw our phone across room plenty of times.
All we can say is that this game is awesome!!!!!!!! Just like happy wheels.
Please add a character ballot we create a character you choose your favorite and add it in thanks.
We love happy race keep up the good work but the part we don't like is the characters because you have to unlock them this game is kinda like happy wheels except the fact that you can't make the blood more realistic and you can't use all the characters please fix that please or update it again but other than that we love the game.
We love the game very fun. The only thing that we would have even more fun playing is of u added user created level. Plz read and think about it.
You guys should make a snowmobile guy that is in front of the unicycle dude.
This game is amazing but 2000 races for the crazy teacher and 6000 races for monowheel dude we think that needs to be lower. But we think if you add in a rollerskating guy that would be awesome! Mr. Hogan please respond. -Terminator11906.
Sorta like happy wheels buuuuttt you have to pay For all the levels but we don't mind.
We love happy wheels and we like dis.
Best update ever! It's great that Sam made new guys to play as! We were getting board of the same people now there is an amazing astronaut! We'll, thanks Mr. Hogan.
Its very fun we love playing it but the only thing we dont like is the single player you have to finish in a correct amount of time other than that we love it.
We love it but everybody asked us if we could gf we said no and they would beg us so now we don't really play the game much because every time there is always one person who asked us that.
It looks like the game has a lag but it's ok and we've learned to deal with it.
Well it is fun but it is so easy to break your head and the we have a cart and we can beat someone with a scooter so easily.
We admit this game is really fun but could use a little more. 1. The game needs a few more controls like ejecting like happy wheels. 2. It needs level creation. People like us love to be creative. And we love happy race so if we combine them we even get a more better experience.
- Characters should be able to eject from their vehicles 2. Make new levels Please make these changes.
The Game is fun but you can't unlock super guy on ours because it says to beat 9 levels but we beated 19.
Very smooth good levels just hard to unlock characters.
The game is great and all, but can the blood look more realistic? Also we enjoy the game very much, we recommend it to be played.
We beat 10 levels and we didn't unlock someone we had to beat 9 levels for.
You have a competition because happy wheels just came out.
Happy wheels more like depressing wheels. We literally just choked on our wet napkin thinking of this title.
This game is the best please update it again we purchased the rocket and monowheel guy that's how much we love this game it's very fun, we have a suggestion when your in quick play their should be an option where you can change your character whenever you want when you finish a level please update the game.
DONT WASNT ANY F** TIME ON THIS GAME.
We can't delete it every Time we try to delete it it freezes our phone plz help.
Red booster is way to hard to beat we have spent 1 year almost dumb stupid do not try the level.
They already made happy wheels on The App Store! Play it instead of this! But really happy wheels is free on the App Store.
