Under rating threshold (show) Tire upgrades should increase your handling. Slalom courses suck.

Under rating threshold (show) It´s quite fun but slalom is crap. The cars´ steering is unacceptable

Under rating threshold (show) I agree. The crashing into items for credit is far more difficult than the championship events and the overtaking events.

Under rating threshold (show) Great Game...but Im worried about the difficulty of the game...I can win races 1st place every time without trying but when it comes to having to hit objects or get the gates I can barely pass...Possibly work on the difficulty?

Under rating threshold (show) no he doesnt mean drifting!! drafting is when you get up close behind another car so the air pressure is decreased for your car making it faster

Under rating threshold (show) It needs a handling upgrade option. Not one that is necessarily game breaking, but it does need a solid improvement to handling.

Under rating threshold (show) Really nice small racing game. Just one point of criticism: Please don't enforce "action" with a shaky camera on us. Its okay, if the camera moves with the use of booster or if you crash into something. But if the camera shakes while driving in a straight line, it gives me a headache.

Under rating threshold (show) I have to say that this is a neat an impressive game. You took the elements of Formula Racer and managed to spice it up, adding features that were once suggested by the previous game. Great job turboNuke.

Under rating threshold (show) races are fun, but the crashing into objects courses really ruined the game for me.

Under rating threshold (show) Not a particularly challenging game. For the medium badge stick to the 40 cars/1 lap race (Ads Anon Challenge day 1). Upgrade engine, tyres, boost, offroad as cash allows. Badge earned in a maximum of 25 plays at just over 1 minute per play - about 30 minutes in total.

Under rating threshold (show) I'm not the only one leaning left and right in their chair whilst going round the slalom gates, right? I can't seem to avoid doing it. Apparently my body thinks it will make me go faster! O_o

Under rating threshold (show) It's somewhat irritating/useful that all the races earn you the same amount for winning (ignoring sponsorships). Just get a medium sponsor and do the first race over and over again to upgrade your car considerably, and you'll easily beat the difficulty curve. The only exception to this is slaloms. Damn you, slaloms!

Under rating threshold (show) the camera movement makes me dizzy, seems like a useless and rather stupid effect, i would have enjoyed it a lot more had it not been for that.

Under rating threshold (show) Don't even try to get all gold medals...at 30 you get the Kon badge , and for all you get....nothing. Just concentrate on getting the ''pass'' objective to unlock the car. 100% gold completion unlocks nothing.

Under rating threshold (show) my suggestion for a upgrade system would be to split the current ones into sub-upgrades... for instance, boost could be split into "Capacity"/"Duration"/"Power" and then Engine could be split into "Horsepower(max speed)"/"Acceleration (how fast it gets to max speed)", Tires can be split into "Drift"/"Grip"/"Duration", The fuel can be split to "Duration"/"Capacity"/"filter"(the higher the level, the more pure and efficient the fuel is making the car faster) :) these are just a few of the possible ideas for upgrades. + if you agree :P

Under rating threshold (show) gates and hits are almost impossible to complete on gold, why dev didn't make it easier? i barely pass them with +10 tries each while races one or two times as much for 1st place

Under rating threshold (show) I like this game enough not to mark one star off for each problem but it's not a game I can complete. As axxidental says, Tire upgrades should increase your handling. As such, slalom events aren't worth trying. Hitting objects is annoying - including depth of field, small hitboxes, unknown paths for Haddocks and of course, tire handling. As a smaller bugbear, you really have to heavily rely on Boost to finish later events, especially overtaking - which puts cars into packs that you can't draft between.

Under rating threshold (show) whoever programmed the camera to bounce all over the place instead of simply following the car needs to be kicked off the team...

I'll kick myself off the team.

Under rating threshold (show) Would be nice if you could have a tutorial or at least something explaining the basic. For example, how to draft? Is drafting a good or bad thing? Is it better to smash other cars or the goal is mainly to dodge? Also, the prizes awarded should go up. I don't see the point in running race 2 and finish second to win 500$ if i can run race 1 and always finish first with 1000$ reward.

Under rating threshold (show) Slaloms shouldnt exist,there should be a increse chance to spin oppponent by 5% each upgrade and a little test your skills thing.These are the best options to put in the next version of this game.

Under rating threshold (show) in june 21 there's a race that to receive gold award we should overtake 40 cars, but when we start the race, it says that my position is 40/40, this means that there are 40 cars INCLUDING me. How am I supposed to get gold if i can only overtake 39 cars? (I can't overtake myself)

Under rating threshold (show) Something that always weirds me out about TurboNuke racing games is how it doesn't matter if I take the inside or the outside of any turn -- these aren't really curves in the route, they're still straight lines it's just shoving me left or right.

Under rating threshold (show) Car customization is a a little weak, not really much point if all there is is the ability to change one color scheme, especially with the automatic sponsor decals that don't change with the car. Should just have the entire car change with the sponsor than tease us with such a minimal customization mechanic. Improved handling option would be much appreciated. The minigames are a nice touch, tho the random generator for placement should be less random, it is hard to hit two objects that are horizontal from one another a whole track width apart. The game looks nice and gets addicting, which makes for a good time waster. With a few more additives and tweaks it could be addicting for much longer than it is.

Under rating threshold (show) I'm so glad the hard badge does not require you to gold every level. That first gate level is damn near, if not, impossible to gold. idk if there are other harder levels, i stopped playing once i got the hard badge

Under rating threshold (show) People complaining about the slalom courses: try not going your maximum speed, it gives you much more time to get to the gate. People complaining about the "hit things" courses: try laying on the boost constantly; it refills when you hit something.

Under rating threshold (show) Okay. Played through all the badges, and now I have a couple of significant gripes. One: Collision detection, especially on the robots. It's terrible. I've watched robots pass through my car without breaking multiple times. Two: The custard pies. The splash effect is amusing, but not when it makes you miss the three pies right behind the one you hit. Also, same deal as with the robots - collision detection. Three: This is a racing game, and you're seriously telling me there's no way to upgrade or even adjust handling? Bad form. It's a good game, but it has some crippling flaws. Three of five.

Under rating threshold (show) I get 1st place in every race in 1 or 2 tries, but when I go to smash items, It takes me forever just to PASS it. I would think the races would be harder, and the smashing into items part would be easier..
