8 of 25its a crappy app, it dosent load!!
4.99 is a bit much but it's a good game, fun and entertaining.
cant get the game to load on my ipod touch 4. It just crashes
They have several great concepts. But when things go bad. They go BAD. Don't expect to hear from them if you submit a ticket. I have emailed them every other day for 3 months and haven't even been granted the courtesy of a reply. Take a chance. It's up to you. But beware, if you spend money with them on upgrades you are wasting your time and money.
This game looks good, but the controls are lacking. When it comes to what you can do there are limits, for example swiping left after a jump performs a 360, making a 180 impossible if desired. The controls seem to lag as well, when turning direction there is a slight lag in the response making the controls feel loose.
It looks a cool game just about to download it:))))
Great game. I play every year. but plz update
Aside from steering, the controls don't make sense.
