There's some wave motion that ca be felt and tricks to perform in the air. 6 tracks + reverse and AI that range from too easy to too hard, nothing in between. doodlejumper Well-Known Member Jan 27, 2010 2,881 2 0 Stuck in traffic #8 doodlejumper, Nov 19, 2011 Wow, who could have seen this coming?

Almost bought it at $3 but held off for a day. Glad I did. Can't beat the price of 99 cents. Frennis Well-Known Member Jul 10, 2011 79 0 6 Sydney #12 Frennis, Nov 19, 2011 Curious, uh, "meteoric rise" in price for a decent game with a fair GC showing (30000+). But I like it anyway and I wish it well. syntheticvoid Well-Known Member Jun 20, 2010 14,504 124 63 Musician & factory worker. a[V-O-I-D] http://apparentsymmetry.bandcamp.com #13 syntheticvoid, Nov 19, 2011 GC players haven't always bought the game... But yeah, didnt really expect this one to drop to 99 cents for another month or two.., =o/ I've got my fair share of racing games, and even at 99 cents, I doubt I'd play more than a couple races... It looks nice and everything, I'm just not as into racers as I use to be.. LOLavi Well-Known Member May 23, 2011 8,364 0 0 iPhone gamer Finland #14 LOLavi, Nov 19, 2011 Worth 99 cents, but not 3 dollars... Not until multiplayer hits, cause currently it's well... boring. backtothis im in ur base killin ur d00dz Staff Member Patreon Silver Patreon Gold Patreon Bronze Jul 13, 2009 13,250 1 0 college student (junior) Houston/Austin, TX https://twitter.com/back2this #15 backtothis, Nov 20, 2011 Yeah, the tracks are pretty plain. The graphics are pretty incredible for 44.1 MB uncompressed though. Funny wave physics, lol. DelBoy2181 Well-Known Member Mar 14, 2011 857 0 0 London, England #16 DelBoy2181, Nov 20, 2011 Is it worth getting or not? LOLavi Well-Known Member May 23, 2011 8,364 0 0 iPhone gamer Finland #17 LOLavi, Nov 20, 2011 Yeah, though it seems like it doesn't even have retina as it's so blurry. But they're still awesome. And it depends, if you like any kind of racing game this sure is great with the tricks and boosts, but if you hate the plain tracks, well then you're not gonna enjoy it, well unless a multiplayer update hits. DelBoy2181 Well-Known Member Mar 14, 2011 857 0 0 London, England #18 DelBoy2181, Nov 20, 2011 Meant to also ask if it's better than Aqua Moto Racing 2? AnarKitty Well-Known Member Oct 10, 2010 3,654 0 0 Minneapolis, USA #19 AnarKitty, Nov 20, 2011 I have an Ipod Touch 4, so I'm not getting the wave physics or anything, but I have no regrets about paying a buck for it. It's nothing revolutionary in terms of gameplay, but the visuals are still great and the feeling of speed is definitely there, and I'm hoping they will continue to add or refine content.

The graphics and animations are smooth and the environments provide a good heaping of eye-candy. Buy it while the sale lasts! (You must log in or sign up to post here.)
