Community Insight:
Sometime during the last century some cool guy thought to himself, if we combine your average retro video game with cyber racing we can create something totally new. Ill ride these waves, no matter the time of day. When Im out cold on the couch or an airport is giving us flight fright, worry not, this never gets boring… Awesome words.
Nice aesthetic and solid gameplay. We like that the creators credit the Unity engine. We played for 10 min, got one ad and also longed for a perspective shift and projectile. But that may come after 10 min, not sure.
Its pretty challenging and kool.
Ads ain't so bad either, not annoyed yet.
Ive played for a day now, and its one of our favorite games. We have one issue though. Some levels are pretty hard, and it takes a while to get past just some of its obstacles. We were wondering if you guys can put a practice mode in for each level. In practice mode, maybe have checkpoints so you can spawn in that specific place instead of all over again so you can focus on that one thing you cant get past on. Once you complete the practice mode level, its better to beat the levels. Of course, practice mode wont count for completion, but it can get you ready for the real level. Thank you.
Truly a fun game. Get this now.
Its nice to have the choice of two type of inputs, however: – Button mode is unplayable as it doesnt support simultaneously pressing two inputs. – Swipe is ok but if the game lags the input is just ignored which make some levels really unpleasant, and very frustrating. Making a game hard coz the controls are terrible is not the best design choice imho.
Not very pretty or interesting. Many adwalls that sometime break or take a while.
We never got to play the game because you cant get past the first text bubble it wont let you tap past it.
This game is so difficult it's fun. It's not a pay to win. However, a lot of our scores haven't been saving which is annoying when we finally make a top 10 run after an obscene amount of practice. Please fix this! Overall a great game. Edit: Score problem unfixed for more than a year now. Despite claims that the game would be updated to fix such problems, nothing has been done. This creates a lack of incentive for players to replay levels after beating the game. We will change this review to 5 stars once this major flaw has been resolved.
Downloaded the game a few weeks ago because we saw this on r/outrun and this game rocks! Been playing a lot. Boss battles are perfect amount of frustrating and beatable. Overall fun time passing game for class/airports/work?/toilet/ anything with a lot of sitting and waiting.
This is an awesome free to play mobile game. Awesome futuristic retro vibe, sick music and tight controls. Even the story was a nice unexpected touch. Its clear a lot of thought and work went into this game. Only complaint is that we think the level obstacles could be slightly spaced out more but once you get the hang of how and when to break its not such a big deal. 5 stars easily.
The gameplay is incredibly fun and addicting, but the landscape mode on iPhone X blocks some buttons and text with the notch which is a little frustrating.
Fantastic graphics, great soundtrack, and smooth gameplay (be prepared for some very challenging levels).
We too am here from reddit, and may we say this is a great game. Ive only been playing for about 5 minutes and Im already hooked. The controls are easy to use and everything looks/sounds great. Definitely worth our time.
We really enjoy playing this game with the synth sounds and the cool controls that make it interesting to play. So much better than most of the stuff that ketchapp games makes from one guy solo developing it all. Definitely check this game out.
Here from r\outrun. This game is a great love letter to the Outrun style. The graphics and the music set the mode and the gameplay feels smooth and stylish.
We really enjoy just playing this when we have some time to spare, and the outrun style is awesome. Well done.
When we first checked it out we expected just another crappy mobile game. But the design and the premise has seriously got us hooked. Cant wait to play the first fun mobile game in a while. (usually the get boring really fast).
He didnt have to go so hard making this game but he did it and he did it for us. We thought, the icing on the cake would be a choice to get a new ship. And low and behold there it was. Dope ships. This cat is stellar.
Love the style. Good quality game.
Smooth, fun, stylish and A E S T H E T we C. Download this hidden gem.
The graphics and animations are great! Runs smooth. Controls work well and its very easy to play.
