    Daytona Rush

    Greetings from Invictus!

    As Nascar 2015 started getting attention let me introduce our latest app dedicated to the event, Daytona Rush.

    Target release date: the 12th.
    However since Apple already approved the initial build, we are able to share a few promo codes really quick.

    It's a casual endless lane changer - if you are interested head over to the promo codes section!

    Cheers,
    Ákos

    Have to agree, I haven't played much, but I've played enough to know I want to keep playing. So far it's a fun endless racer. Great graphics, easy touch controls.. So far so good!

    Looks great!
    Pity that all codes are gone for now, would have loved to take it for a test drive.

    Excited to see the positive responses but throw us anything not just praise.
    Any thoughts on the touch/swipe selection method?

    The gameplay finetuning we spent the past two weeks with adds a lot please stay tuned till it arrives.

    This looks like a how a runner should play. Can't wait to try this. Glad it's coming out soon.

    I think the best option would be to have both touch and swipe movements in the game, is there a jump, duck type mechanic in the game also? If not then I love the option to tap the left side of the screen 2 times to move over 2 lanes an 2 taps on the right moves you w lanes to the right...ect. Is beta still up I would love to check it out.

    There's both touch and swipe control and double taps (even triple taps) also work.
    What is somewhat new how the game selects between touch and swipe. I wonder if that worked straightforward for everyone or perhaps confused some of you?

    GC bug - please help

    Looks like we have the dreaded GC bug.
    That is the game can not receive any input after the GC welcome message got displayed.
    Disabling GC or the internet connection is a workaround for now, however, if you have this bug, please let us know how many GC friends you have?

    First impressions....

    Was expecting more of an intro at the start, yeah its obvious what you do but just expected some text or something saying about the race etc

    The graphics are great, work very well.

    I think what you've done is very clever. I personally cant stand runners or 'lane switchers' but it works so well for this game as its NASCAR basically and its oval after oval lap where you are just overtaking (talking about actual NASCAR not the app). So you simulating this in the game works very well and i think for non 'lane runner' fans like myself its enjoyable for everyone.

    Like the way you have to go in the pit lane for oil. Is there a way to get some of your damage fixed also ? Eg does an icon appear in a particular lane so your damage goes back up by one ?

    But the graphics are great, controls work well.

    I would be interested in you doing an actual 'proper' racing game with these graphics. Used to love playing NASCAR back in the 90's on my PC on all the tracks. You should show this to NASCAR themselves and try and get an 'approved' real version with accelerate/steering etc.

    But again for someone who previously disliked lane type games like this its excellent.

    It's really inspiring to read this! :)

    As for repair yes there is a quick repair pick-up coming on the racing lanes now and then. Hard to get but gives a real push.

    If the repair pick-up is really meant to be hard to get, then it's fine.
    But it is really hard to spot right now in the distance. Once you see it, you still have to get on the right lane, which is not always that easy with all the other cars around.

    But yeah, game is awesome!
    And PLEASE keep it like it is now and don't let players pay to continue the race like in a lot of other endless racers. That would kinda make leaderboards meaningless.

    This looks very cool. Are the crashes impressive? Question for anyone who's played it I guess.
