What Users Love
Rally runner in my opinion has simple, fast and addictive gameplay
I love everything about this game
Physics are great, and so is the camera fluidity
I love the crash physics and the destruction the cars get
Pain Points
When I open the game it just sits on a gray screen for a couple seconds and then eventually closes
It just black screens and spits me out to my Home Screen
Not only does the account system just REFUSES to work anyhow but i also grinded bunch... every single upgrades were GONE
I bought all the cars for 10 bucks, and went back a few days later. It says I don't own any
