Good fun game. The grind to get new levels and cars is just too slow though. I also like the idea of the new race feature but the CPU is too good. Every car in the pack is going about 90‰ of full speed, center line 90+% of the time. No errors and no crashing. It makes the race not fun at all

Fun game, but for me it's just ok. Good graphics and the music suits the game well. Controls are functional, but a little too low and too close to the edges of the screen. It's an unusual racer since you don't steer. Just gas and brake, drifting helps once you learn how. The game seems a bit unfair. You come in second, then upgrade speed or acceleration and do worse. Seems the ai gets upgraded when you do. Still a good game overall. It's worth trying and their game Abyss Attack is phenomenal.

Ever wonder what Hill Climb Racer would look like in 3D rather than side-view 2D? I did, and this is kind of, but not really, it. I like that there's no steering. That would make it a completely different game (driving/racing sim). The steering is automatic. What I don't like, is that it's not at all a 3D representation of a 2D game. It's fundamentally a 3D game. The main challenges are side-to-side, rather than linear like HCR. Using brakes and throttle, you have to avoid drifting side-to-side into rocks, and falling off the edge. I also hate the permanent sepia + vignette look, like an Instagram filter. But, I gave this three stars rather than 1, because even though it's not at all what I was looking for, they didn't really advertise it that way either, and it is a decent-quality game that might appeal to a different audience.
