8 of 25I downloaded this game in 2010 when I was 5 years old... this brought back so much memories and I’m crying right now wishing I could go back.
I love this game I always play it. You should buy it.😎😎
Just wish you can choose your location and a 3rd page of cars
We've had this since the iPad was launched, and my son, then not even two, because very adept at creating and storing his inventions. I quite like the limit on the number of parts available, otherwise younger kids would simply fill the page with stuff and you'd never see the chassis! Newer version a considerable improvement, but still some crashing issues from time to time ... the app, not the cars ;)
My child loves this game at school, but the 20 part limit in the app has him very frustrated. Whats the point of limiting the number of parts he can use?
I remember when I would play this in Kindergarten. Very fun game, would recommend this for 3-7 year olds. Great game for little ones!
The worst thing I could buy for 1$
It is amazing!
