Vertigo Racing

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.

The game itself is actually very fun, and I absolutely love the surf rock soundtrack, but what kills it for me is the "personalized ad" message. It tells you "oh, you can back out at any time!" but then the MOMENT you do so it says "oh, you have to uninstall the game now if you do". Like, wow, way to instantly lose a player.

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.

Not really a racing game, since all you do is accelerate or brake. It does have "racing" mode, where you compete with other cars (bots) in a circuit-like arena, but... again all you do is only decide when to accelerate and when to brake. It's still entertaining though, especially with its vintage soundtracks which goes well with its vintage cars theme. And high-speed driving on cliffs, with endless chasm on both sides, is fun. Right? 🤣. Has Google Play Achievements and Leaderboards. 5-star!

I was pleasantly surprised by this one. At first, I wasn't sure how fun a racing game could be if it steers automatically. But when I realized how easily you'd fly off the side of the track going full-speed, that's when it dawned on me. Whilst this is easy to learn, it's hard to master. Also, all ads are optional. I'm uninstalling this, not from disappointment, but because I've earned 200 cups after about 12 months of casual gameplay. This was so fun. Download this game if you haven't yet. ☆☆☆☆☆

As I'm writing this review, I have beaten the game. I have all cars, all trophies and all upgrades. So I'm confident to say that the progress in this game is totally trash. After you complete the track's challenge you just gotta run again, and again, and again and again. It is so exhausting running in the same tracks for so many times. Maybe some challenges for gold could help with the progression.
