8 of 17only defect is it's too short. ;)
The last version with limited levels was a great game!! This version with twice the levels and a level select menu, priceless. The physics is this game are soo accurate. The levels are entertaining and challenging.
THE CONTROLS ARE TERRIBLE!!! Change the controls, please! For 2 bucks I expected way more out of this. The concept is great, but the movement controls make it really difficult to make the tank go where you want it to. Please update!
Cool graphics and some interesting puzzles, but there are a few problems. Firstly, the tank has practically no low-speed traction at all. From a dead stop, it takes more than 3/4ths of the throttle travel to even get moving on a shallow incline. However - once moving - that much throttle tends to accelerate the tank significantly, making it hard to control. It also tends to "skid" a surprising amount when attempting to stop. Finally, the throttle is difficult to operate on the iPad since it spans the entire long side of the screen - roughly 8 inches of travel! None of these issues are fundamental, so I'm hoping they'll be fixed in an update.
I've seen footage of the game on iPhone, and it does not run at the ridiculous speed it runs at on iPad. If the developer would just put a framerate cap on, then everything would be fine, but as of now, the game runs too quickly to actually be enjoyed. iPad buyers beware: this game does not work well on it at all.
I feel like I paid for a demo. Unbelievably short!
Great game. But it needs an update
I bought this game because I was convinced by one of the reviewers. I do not regret my decision. This game is great. I can't wait for future levels. My suggestions are try to add different control schemes ( I know that is hard to do because there aren't many ways to precisely control the speed without using the current controls) My other suggestion is a menu. I would greatly appreciate if you could combine the levels into three selections (easy,medium,hard) I don't like when you are selecting the levels when the levels go from an easy to hard to hard to medium. It just seems unorganized. P.S - This is my longest review ever.
