Definitely NOT boring! THIS IS FUN!
I have ADHD so if this were a boring game Id give it up quickly, and I do give up inadequate action games quickly. I played the free version (Blocky Winter) until I did all I could do, it was fun but limited. For only 99 cents, the full version is GREAT! The scenery is awesome. I dont quite have the hang of making my own cars. It takes a while to get to know the 12 tracks, you must purchase upgrades and access to tracks, earning credits by doing well and doing it often.
After spending credit (not real money) upgrading one car I found it was a dog, so I went to another car and upgraded that one, much better choice. Wasted credits maybe, but hey thats life. You learn by doing. Upgrading one of four car components takes time and is only an incremental improvement, so you must continue to upgrade to notice the advantage. Different cars have different performance characteristics. I havent made any cars Im proud enough to share. For now I am content to improve my driving skills. The car editor is a bit primitive but this is a Blocky World after all, so no complaints. I have colored my vehicles to be different.
Suggestion, dont always run the course the same way if there are options, like the high roads, often you can choose a lower road that has more rewards, I found a couple of temporary bridges that if you stay on, you drop and pick up coins, then you can drive out. I hope there are more little surprises like that along the courses I dont know that well. Makes it more interesting if you can run a course differently at times.
Driving this game is a skill that develops as you learn when to make a big or small jump, how to land, how to fly, when to slow down (use brake sparingly), collecting rewards along the way. Be sure to have enough gas to last. There is a distance gauge at the top of the screen so if you crash, next time youll know the spot to be careful at. You can pause or restart at any point during the drive. Its not racing in the normal sense, except against yourself. Try to do better each time, at first just try to get through the colorful course. Its fun to look at the background graphics but keep your eye on the road! There is also a challenge mode where elapsed time is important, this has 10 NEW COURSES but you must compete each one before you can continue. Some are extremely difficult. I keep learning new things about the game.
Id like more courses and additional music, the hillbilly theme is getting a bit worn out! What Ive been doing is driving more vehicles, upgrading them, working on getting my driving skills better. Id be willing to buy additional courses, hope that is being worked There are vehicles available to IMPORT and some are very clever, the more vehicles you import the more they cost, but if you dont like one you can sell it back, although you do not reimbursed for any upgrades you have done to the vehicle. Some vehicles are better for some courses, like the ATV is great for hills and valleys, the motorcycle is a bit bouncy for them, there is a challenge in using substandard vehicles that I often like to pursue.
To the developers I say a big THANK YOU, this game is an inexpensive, clever and fun addition to my iPad. Doesnt seem to have any bugs, things seem to work the way they should. Oh yes, when you drive well and get a treasure chest, you get additions to your little farm. They doesnt make your driving skills better but I like the wandering cows and pigs, flowers and bushes, etc. and you can dress yourself, the driver, with various outfits. Check out the big smiley head when rewards are gained on a course.
