RickR Posted June 9 Report Share Posted June 9 I'm going to check this one out. "Pickup and play" is my preferred game type these days. And I think this is a serious strength of the VCS library. Smell Dawg and Sabertooth 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabertooth Posted June 9 Author Report Share Posted June 9 It's not really a driving game. It's like a two-button game. The functions are Accelerate and Change Lanes. I don't quite have the hang of it, but feels a bit like a third-person Flappy Bird, only with levels. The levels are super short and there are reportedly 20 or so.

RickR Posted June 9 Report Share Posted June 9 I hope they all don't have rain like that video! Or maybe some windshield wipers. Portaro and Sabertooth 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabertooth Posted June 9 Author Report Share Posted June 9 It looks like it all has the rain filter. I'll be honest, it's hard to complain about a $2.99 game, but I'd steer clear of this one. It seems like the dev rushed it out. The Sound FX are so low in the mix as not to exist. Even with the music off I can barely hear it. The control mechanism is not very responsive. The filter is kinda obnoxious. Maybe if he did some improvements it might be OK. For the same money you could get the amazing Amoeba Jump, Tower of Rubble, or Mad Age & This Guy. I'm curious what others think. I see @D.joe on the top of the leaderboard. What's your take? RickR 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickR Posted June 9 Report Share Posted June 9 I thank you for that review! Gold. Amoeba Jump is on my list once I find some time. For sure. Sabertooth 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mockduck Posted June 10 Report Share Posted June 10 This is an odd one, but for a few bucks it's got a few hours of gameplay. I too find the rain overlay overly annoying, but whatever. I also have found the lane shifts to be a bit weird sometimes, although maybe I just need to get the hang of acceleration and deceleration better.

D.joe Posted June 14 Report Share Posted June 14 I actually like the game for a quick pick up and play,it does need more sfx. and a little confused on how the leaderboards work, but love the prodigy type music. Definitely worth 3 bucks Sabertooth and Smell Dawg 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
