Used to be the only game on my phone, now I have none. The September 2024 update has the nice option of adding radar and changing the background, but the game play constantly jiggles so it now feels like I'm driving on a dirt road with potholes while trying to watch for other players and play the game. And if you want to speed up, you'll freeze while going fast and not be able to turn and die every time. If you want to go slow and have others encircle you whenever they see you this is your game.

Super fun! Love classic controls with my phone's S-Pen! The unfortunate thing about it is that the controls have about quarter second of latency on average but sometimes there is so much that there is no reaction time and you have to anticipate what will happen in the next half second which kills me 99% of the time. Maybe due to poor WIFI but I feel like it could be better. Past that it is quite addicting and runs way better than the browser version. Really brings out the competitive side of me!

Decent game, easy to play, and it can be very addictive to get to 1st place if you're competitive like me. However, if you're not a fan of the base game, there isn't much to do besides getting first place. The offline mode doesn't offer much besides competition with significantly less formidable bots. Maybe there could be stats tab that kept track of high scores and ranked players? Or maybe daily challenges like a set amount of kills to reach? Things like these will help player engagement.
