Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
The game is alright but the bots are way too aggressive. That's the biggest issue we're having, some races are already difficult enough and having bots go out of there way to ram us is just so unnecessary and so unfair, they don't even do it to each other, just the player. This makes the game very hard to play for us.
Update. Game seems to be getting worse. Catch up boost of the NPC cars is getting ridiculous. Even in the easy restricted lower game, the cars will just disappear . Used to really like this game. It not any fun to play anymore. Luckily madskills moto is still out there. This game used to Be really fun to play. But 6 or so months ago an update made the catch up speed of the competitors ridiculous. We keep trying to like the game again, but it is impossible. Also, somehow in cant seem to ever be able to upgrade any of the new vehicles. We have 56million gold coins, but they are useless. This is the worst turbozilla game.
This game could be fun but its pretty frustrating. When using boost, all the cars in your race boost at the same time. Whats the point of boost if you cant use it strategically? When other cars use boost, your car does not. Makes no sense. Car upgrades are ridiculous. If you max out on a certain part, you will keep getting upgrades for that same part. You will end up with a lot of gold coins and nothing to use them on. Because you need to get the upgrade cards to upgrade the part or car. Whats the point of the gold coins then? Overall, there are many details in this game that are not good. The racing part can be fun.
The turning is very fun to master.
Been playing for a while now and all of a sudden where the track forks for the joker lane and main track they are both blocked with Xs and cant go past that part of the track, like we hit a wall.
This has been a great game, but recently its been having a problem, when we get to the extra lane that has like the joker hat there are three xs and we cant go through, the same three xs are on the normal lane but they dont stop us, we really want to keep playing this game, but we cant anymore.
Its a really fun game but the joker lane is an invisible wall. Every time we try to go threw it we get stopped and reset.
We have been playing this game for the past couple of weeks with zero issues. As of the past few days, we have ran into an issue that renders the game unplayable. We are unable to take any joker lane on any track in the game. When trying to take joker lanes there is three giant red Xs and an invisible barrier that we cannot go through.
Are you aware the most recent update blocked the entrance to the joker lap, not allowing our car to enter it? So Im forced to complete each race without the joker and get the 15sec penalty. Enough to make us stop playing the game. Was a cool game before that.
Great game. But for some reason it updated and blocks us from the joker lane. Ruins the game.
Fun to drive and slide around. Even with the joker lap it doesnt feel like mariokart where if ur the leader then youre a sitting duck. The pack duration and lack of ads for free coins/gems is unique. Ads for coins/gems would actually be appreciated. Id like the option to use coins for parts that are needed for enhancing our car. Not necessarily bad, but there will be a bit of a grind for certain parts. Additional modes and online play will only strengthen this game so we could see 5 star potential depending on how the developers proceed. Edit. Update based on inclusion of nitro cross. The rubber banding is extremely unfair to people that dont pay to play. Impossible to unlock the car. Then when u have a good race the joker lane is blocked. Another promising start to a game that gets greedy.
The game has been ok but now the Joker lanes are blocked and you cant drive through. Even the main tracks have barricades but you can drive through.
Since the last update the joker lane is blocked on all tracks. We cannot take joker lane and it penalizes our time on the regular tracks and event tracks.
Love the game its been super fun to play Ive been playing for the past week but yesterday and today when we go to take the joker lane its like we had an invisible wall and it wont let us pass. Please fix this issue.
Was fun to play while it lasted, but for some reason we got to a point where XXX appeared over the joker lane AND the regular lane, making the game literally unplayable for us. We ended up trying to uninstall and reinstall to no avail.
Ive been playing rallyclash/ rallycross for a while now, and we love how hard the devs work to improve the gameplay experience and overall mechanics. The team is constantly taking feedback from community desires and improving. The maps are ultra fun and the cars are super customizable and easy to build. Going for leaderboards is too fun and setting faster times while finding faster corners is always a blast. The ONLY thing Ive always wanted is to not grab duplicate cards out of packs – ones that Ive already maxed out – because it personally feels wasteful. We also understand the flip side to changing that mechanic and how it could be less incentivizing. Overall this game is a solid 9+/10 and you would be wasting your time as a gearhead not playing this in your free time. -OGMinstrelPack.
We love the game but we cant get any coins from racing it gives us a double option but when we dont take the double option we dont get any of the rewards we have to watch an ad to get 400 instead of 200 coins.
We were super skeptical of this game coming from kadskills motocross our whole life but this game is seriously a blast, the button controls are wayyy better and you will have way more fun that way instead of the lame joystick controls. But the racing is super competitive and yaaaa there is boost and no throttle control but this game is still insane fun besides that unrealistic stuff. We play a ton of realistic racing games and this is still super fun for a mobile game. We definitely recommend giving it a download, switch the controls to button controls, and race and actually event with actual users, very fun game.
We were visiting your mom last week and she was playing this game. We took her phone and tried it and havent put it down since. She keeps asking for her phone back but Im just too addicted. We love rallycross more than your mom now. Never thought the day would come.
Love this game, if there was a way to play against friends this game would definitely be one of the best games on the App Store.
Great game but have never been given new tracks. They say arriving soon but its said that since we first started playing.
Anyway we could get a few new tracks? Been saying coming soon for like 6 months lol.
Solid game, fun to play. Have maxed out on trophies for all available levels, hopefully more content soon. As of the last few weeks, it prompts us to sign in with our Apple account constantly.
Ive been obsessed with this game! We did notice if we click on the little avatar in the top left corner it causes the app to crash, just fyi! Im not sure if you can turn notifications on for this app either which would be helpful to remind us to open our packs. But Im very interested to see what the tabs on the left and right will end up being too! If you can add a feature to reverse the direction of swiping for turning that would be cool too. Thanks for making an awesome game! Cant wait to see what gets added that will allow the game to just keep getting better and better.
The racing is fun and smooth. Tinkering with multiple setups for different tracks is fun. The only frustrating thing is the steering sensitivity does not save between launches of the application and eventually defaults back to the middle and can affect the feel and cost you a few races if you dont notice right away.
It takes so long but not much long to play the game but we like how it drift and stuff but missing one thing is loading to play the race.
Ai or whoever youre racing only wanna crash you, needs a brake to be able to get off of them, countless times Ive been hung up on cars and cant turn, solid game, but needs work.
The game is not bad and portrait mode works great for phone, but we believe we saw the game playing in landscape mode on YouTube videos. While we could see landscape mode for a PC version of the game, we swore the videos we saw were mobile or at least android. Is there landscape mode option for mobile or android? If so, could we get it for iOS? That would be a helpful option.
Fairly early on in the game we feel like we hit a wall. Feels like a pay wall. The difficulty jumped up where its difficult to win costing you coins, and preventing you to get more. When we had coins we went in on the upgrades and it didnt really do much especially later on in the game. You would need to accrue coins at a disproportionate rate from what you are able to. Feels like you are damned if you do, damned if you dont.
Started playing the game awhile back on work breaks and whatnot, found out we could link our Apple acc and everything so we restarted and it took ab a day to get back where we were before. That being said we wish there was ranked or something for more of a challenge, the game mechanics are quick and easy to learn but people have a habit of turning into heat seeking rockets if you pass them and you both end up off track. Granted its funny and most of the time it doesnt ruin the race, but if there was a mode where there was no contact and you could just try and get the fastest lap time Im sure some people would enjoy switching between the two. Other than that sold game that seems the be getting better with time. Also for the devs we have a surplus of coins that we genuinely cant get enough parts to spend on, will there be any other way to spend them later on.
After this update it had gave us a pack to open after logging in to apple and now the Im stuck at that point it doesnt let click on the pack and it wont let us play the game this update isnt looking good and not only that, after down loading the game a while back we played for about a month til it asked us to sign into our apple account and it restarted our progress( started from the beginning ). We like all the games we play the motocross game and a couple of others can you fix this issue so we can play it again. Ive deleted the app and redownloaded it.
The game is great so far, but has a lot of growing to do. Lots of things under construction soon and not many things to play yet. They recently put out an update that helped but made a 30+ second ad watch only take off 1 hour from the pack opening times. It used to take off 4 which was way faster to open packs. 2 hours would be nicer. We also wish we could customize the car no matter what parts are on. We dont like how stats are tied to colors and wheels. Definitely has a lot of potential but needs development asap! Ive put hours into the game.
Game is pretty nice, we have no complaints until today. Our blue paint was high performance, level 7. We upgraded to level 8, and the traction and recovery stats dropped down to 1. If youre going to blow the coding so frighteningly, could we at least have an option to downgrade back to a level that actually has performance please? Makes us nervous to upgrade the cars, tires, or anything else, for fear of getting options worse than we have now Thanks Edit: Bumping up to 4-stars just because developer responded Looking forward to the update, thanks.
Its a good game almost all the way around until your driving the racing line and someone just blasts you in the side or the back end and now your in last with no chance.
Ive enjoyed the game. Our car is LakewayLife. We need more competition. Would also like more tracks and upgrades. Im almost maxed out.
The game needs a way to buy packs because Ive got infinite money but the progression is so slow cause we cant buy packs without spending a ton of money on gems, besides that great game no ads.
We play this game a lot. Its fun, but Im getting really tired of filling up on packs, watching ads, and then getting all rewards that are already max level. Its a waste of time and feels like Im just making the creators money on ads with no reward.
Really cool concept! But the opponents just crash you off course in every corner and upgrades dont really seem to do much of anything. Upgrade the car and it still is sluggish and handles like its always on ice. Opponents seem to make their perfect line every corner and if you touch them you go flying. Ive only been playing a few days and its definitely addicting but we can feel the new wearing off with each race lost at the finish line when someone knocks us off the road. Id say itll get better but its not a new game so we think its just another pay to win game.
Dont know what any of the stats mean, so we have no clue what we should focus on. Some of its self explanatory, but some of its not (eg what does recovery do). Never have enough gold to upgrade parts and if we do then we dont have gold to race. Have to watch an ad to do that part. Seems incredibly grindy for what it is.
Bro! Whens the next update coming out.
Wonderful colors, lovely graphics, smooth physics, its the perfect game to play when youre just needing to pass the time like when youre in a line or something. Each race only takes about 2 minutes, and its fun to play. THERES NO ADDS THIS GAME IS OBVIOUSLY NOT FINNISHED Its awesome, but its not finished. Theres only 4 cars, theres a couple teleportation respawn glitches, and the physics feel incomplete. Its got great polish, but we just wish the cars were a little more bouncy. It doesnt feel like a car, it feels like Im guiding a rat through a maze. The physics are primitive to say the least; they still need work. Great game tho. Also the starter bundle is a great deal. 2$ well spent.
The controls feel awesome and smooth, the AI is relatively competitive, and the progression system is very rewarding. Online play will take this game to a new level. Great start.
Fun game but Ive stopped playing need more courses and the competition needs to be faster.
Awesome game idea, pretty good physics and graphics, and its a lot of fun so far! We would love to see a couple more tracks because when youre grinding for coins its just way too easy to autopilot the courses. Not sure if its just us but every time we try to load into Spain the game failed to load track and we lose trophies and our entry fee. Probably an early bug obv not a big problem but we thought we should bring it up as its happened a lot of times. Also, the AI pit maneuvering is the most frustrating thing if you dont get ahead of the AI early, youll likely trade some paint with them later on and any time that happens they instantly turn into you and send you into a wall. Youre usually left dead last and unable to make a come back at that point. It would be cool if yeah there was a little bit of player-matched aggression from the AI but taking you out completely all the time is annoying but overall, the card packs/times are decent, upgrades are a grind, and the game has a bright future! Devs: It would be awesome to be able to upgrade the amount of cards you could hold at a time in your deck, and/or also be able to unlock 2 packs at a time? If not, maybe at least be able to ditch a pack without having to open it? Maybe you want something that you can only get from Spain tracks but have 4 packs in your deck already food for thought! Have a good day.
Our 2 biggest issues are 1) remove collisions with stupid AI cars. 2) the dust clouds need to be more see through and the start and other signs obscure the view of track to much.
Great game, just has some kinks to work out (mainly with road boundaries – better marking of the edges, and fewer walls to crash/get pushed into would be appreciated).
Good game. We think if it was a horizontal display like MadSkillzMX it would be better and steering buttons with a throttle and brake. Double tap to drift or something like that.
This is a really nice control system. We got the hang of it very quickly, and oversteer seems to be not as hard to control as other drifting games such as Jet Car Stunts 2. It does feel slow compared to that game but we just got started, we bet it gets fast. This is going to be very fun.
Fun game but seems like all the others.pay to play/win.u get upgradeds for your car but never actually get a better upgrade jus multiples of the same one you have already so you can level it up but yet you have mo money to level the part up or if you then you dont have money to racethen theres there controls/maps.u pre corner so that you can make a corner and as soon as u go a lil to far over the curd u get reset.we get cutting the track would reset you but usin the curb as its intended makes u reset also ive had multiple times the AI jus plays smash up derby and tries to hit us off the road which has happen also multiple times.AI is terrible more worried about smashin you outta the way then racing makes the game frustrating especially when u save up tour coins to do a 3000 coin fee race and jus get bullied off the track 3 times and reset by the AI.
The game itself is fun, but getting the coins to upgrade the parts of your car is way too difficult.
