Time to buy this one. Exact-Psience Well-Known Member Jan 12, 2012 22,664 2 38 The Work-At-Home Guy Philippines #4 Exact-Psience, Nov 28, 2013 This and Repulze, for me, are 2 of the appstore's best racing games. Highly recommended. Mess Well-Known Member Jul 17, 2013 1,353 0 0 #5 Mess, Nov 28, 2013 Just picked this up, unlocked the level two tricks - how do I actually do them? I have the (why seems to be) swipe up twice one, but it keeps doing the swipe up once trick! Exact-Psience Well-Known Member Jan 12, 2012 22,664 2 38 The Work-At-Home Guy Philippines #6 Exact-Psience, Nov 28, 2013 Maybe you're trying to pull off the swipe-with-2-thumbs-simultaneously tricks. tunaVille Well-Known Member Jun 10, 2013 144 0 0 #7 tunaVille, Nov 28, 2013 I got the 1st version. Killer never tried Repulze, Turbo Fly Hd is also killer Larni Well-Known Member Apr 18, 2013 369 0 16 #8 Larni, Nov 28, 2013 Repulze is very good; I wish they would bring out some new tracks but the story pretty much wrapped up at the end Mess Well-Known Member Jul 17, 2013 1,353 0 0 #9 Mess, Nov 28, 2013 Ah, so it's just swipe with one thumb... Makes sense Coldar Well-Known Member Dec 26, 2008 2,458 5 38 Upstate NY/USA #10 Coldar, Nov 28, 2013 Use and get more stunts or it can be a little grindy. Fun game (although I'm playing the Android version but have this one too). nightc1 Well-Known Member Oct 19, 2012 4,362 0 0 AL #11 nightc1, Dec 1, 2013 How bad is the grind? I noticed the IAP on this one goes up to $99.99 for consumable currency which kind of makes me sick. The first one didn't have any IAP.

Just started playing, so can't comment, but thought this was a regular premium game, but guess not. Exact-Psience Well-Known Member Jan 12, 2012 22,664 2 38 The Work-At-Home Guy Philippines #13 Exact-Psience, Dec 1, 2013 Here we go again! oooooomonkey Well-Known Member Jan 15, 2011 6,307 0 0 Forge World #14 oooooomonkey, Dec 1, 2013 Yep, you can't blame the devs for putting in the option to buy currency in a game because they'd be basically turning down free money from anyone who wanted to speed through the game. Nearly every game these days has the option to buy currency regardless of if you need it or not. Gone are the days of final fantasy style grinding to level up, do that these days and your accused of doing it to force people to pay more to get through the game. nightc1 Well-Known Member Oct 19, 2012 4,362 0 0 AL #15 nightc1, Dec 1, 2013 Not trying to start something, just wanted to know if this is pure premium with cheaters IAP to take advantage of whales and non-gamers... Or if it was freemium where the grind isn't like classic ff but rather like something that'll take months of gaming to surpass. Don't shoot the potential customer. I just hate freemium traps. mrbiggles Well-Known Member Jul 3, 2012 3,691 0 0 Like retired USA #16 mrbiggles, Feb 1, 2014 bump $1 again What's New in Version 1.2 Support for Game Controllers (Gamepads and Extended Gamepads) zdn1042 Well-Known Member May 10, 2013 642 0 0 #17 zdn1042, Feb 1, 2014 Thanks for the heads up! Btw, what exactly does nightc1 mean when he posted the word "whale"? Darn, I really need to catch up with all these terms and stuff. scrotally Well-Known Member Apr 21, 2013 305 0 0 #18 scrotally, Feb 1, 2014 There is some grinding involved if u want to be competitive in multiplayer. I didn't waste any money on the lower level skis, grinded for a couple hrs and bought one of the best ones and blew almost everyone away in multiplayer. It's been awhile since I played so don't know how many people are still playing. The game is a lot if fun though and really requires skill to do well. Also the size is amazing for the graphic quality. I need to start playing this again. sweetdiss Well-Known Member Jun 15, 2009 1,745 5 38 #19 sweetdiss, Feb 1, 2014 So good. sinagog Well-Known Member Aug 15, 2014 937 0 0 #20 sinagog, Sep 24, 2014 Dollar dollar bill, yo.
