    Yeah, so it seems. It's the one reason I have hesitated to go premium

    I'm loving this game. But I do have one gripe. In my head when I go premium, I expect that the full game gets unlocked! I.bought the premium iap and I still have to unlock powerups?? And they are so expensive!.gems don't come nearly quick enough in this game. Only boss races and achievements. This needs to be fixed. Either give players who have purchased the premium iap the powerups or lower the cost of them! I find it rather unfair.

    I fear this is the reason the game will end up being deleted. It's beautiful, love the soundtrack, it's the best kart game I've played but if I have to pay to play even after paying for premium, I'm not sure it's worth it. If the game was a fiver unlocked, I'd snap it up. Don't mind paying for something that has lastability.

    Game Impressions

    ..this game has one of the most deep and beautiful graphics I've seen so far on the iPhone.

    I think its possible because of Metal and iOS 8 which get even more from the Hardware of the iPhone.

    Playing on my new iPhone 5S which replaced my old iPhone 4S.

    Both iPhones 6 are more than extremely too big for me, so I stay with 5S and hope there will be more and more Metal-Optimized games like this one.

    I am asking again.Why is the touch control not as good as it was in the older beach buggy game?

    Exactly! I feel the same way!
    And I DID delete it! Disappointed, for sure!

    There is one cheat i know.
    - Go to time and date setting of your smartphone and set the next day.
    - Return to the game and get the daily reward by spinning the wheel
    - Repeat the procedure as many times as you need.

    P.S.
    You wont be able to get the daily reward for the same day twice
    In some cases you may need to disable Wi-Fi connection

    P.S.S
    on Android devices you can skip commercial video by clicking on Back button (so you don't have to purchase premium version of the game)

    Anybody knows how to do a boost start?

    I get a huge lag on my iPad 2.

    Does anyone know the best setting for good visuals and lag free experience ?

    I do not want to reduce the resolution.

    wow,great game.I found it via coincidence (was looking for Metal optimized games).Seems not very popular,such a shame.Plays great with a controller and it has rock solid 60fps on Air 2,making it one of the best/most polished looking game on iOS.

    Regarding premium unlock and still currency to earn (for power ups) after this:guys,there are just descisions to make like in any other game with a progression system.You just can't unlock EVERYTHING after one play thru ,makes it more interesting to play it again once you beat it.I think the premium unlock is absolutely fair for what you get,stop whining!

    And believe me,i HATE everything that has something to to with greedy F2P like anybody else here.

    I'll buy the premium unlock now just for supporting the devs,not even reached the paywall yet (i'm in the middle of season 3)

    This game deserves more attention (where is the TA review?).And its a beautiful example what Metal is able to deliver.

    I really don't get why this game doesn't get more love.it was even not mentioned in the"update mondays"but it recently got HUGE update with a ton of new free stuff (i.e.championships where you can earn a lot of money and more tracks).This is still by far the best fun racer in the appstore.

    @kartracing:i switched to a Micro CTRLi from Madcatz now.Much cheaper and much much much better ;)

    My wife and I play this on the Apple TV. We love it!

    Absolutely the best kart game on the Apple TV.

    (We both Play on controllers, but using the remote app on the phone works extremely well too - better than the Apple remote.)
