Retro classic
Sun Apr 22 2018 Dvader0086This game is a salute to some of the great arcade racing games. Games like Super Hang-on, Outrun, and Pole Position. If you have ever played any of these games, then give this a try. Big tip: to get that full arcade feel, hold your tablet close to your face, just inches away.
Your on a bike, collecting coins, dodging traffic. You got your turbo boost, and can do some crazy crashes. Think of Retro Highway as one as the home console version of today. You can get the Crazy Taxi arcade version in the App Store, but you get the Crazy Taxi version on your Dreamcast or Steam you get the base game, plus extras.
That is what you get here. You can unlock upgrades, new locations, and new bikes which help you progress. Instead of paying a quarter for five minutes of gameplay or one round, this game costs a download, a tap to start, and an ad or two.
Levels design
Sun Jun 02 2019 Hop on Pop Jr.What i love:
Objectives change and therefor you can play each level over and over with a different approach. You can try to not crash and set new distance achievement. This is fun on its own. Its also fun to try to reach more specific objectives.
What could be improved:
The gameplay is awesome. I am still playing. The level design could be more interesting. Unlocking new levels is fun, but newer levels are more like obstacle courses, taking the joy out of joy riding. My biggest complaint is that sometimes the level design is a little flat and unrealistic. Like a two way road that just ends. What about a progression through varying types of scenery, Or a fork in the road?. What about being able to get off the beaten track every once in a while. That could be fun. Like jumping on and over bridges. How about making this game a little more scenic, like the corn fields in the first level. Details that feel more genuine and maybe even more realistic. For example the, downtown, level feels a little flat(ie buildings and backgrounds). It could be more immersive while still retaining the retro feel.
Level design
Tue Aug 29 2023 Traelin10The gameplay is fantastic. The reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is that there is only 1 fun level: the original. The only reason to switch to the others is when a mission calls for it. Otherwise there’s too many hazards or turns to have any fun. Candy land is a motion sickness-prone nightmare. There’s a pickup that makes the screen blurry that’s as no fun as a level that mostly consists of two lanes and one way traffic, during a steep turn. All inconsistent with the game’s best ideas: going way too fast while burning nitro and weaving between both lanes of traffic, catching all the jumps and boosts you can.
I was excited to unlock the moon, but there’s too many tunnels and overhead hazards to risk a jump, which defeats the point of a low gravity level. Why not double down on the idea and have nothing to wreck you on a jump and make them even higher?
I like difficulty, but not at the cost of fun. They don’t give nearly enough coins for how short the runs usually are.
awesome gameplay, levels get a little repetitive
Sun Jan 29 2023 courtney lapelTo start with, the gameplay is amazing. I really enjoy the way the game feels and the stunt system is intuitive. A couple things that I believe could be improved: firstly, the scenery and level design feels a little same-y after a while, and quite flat. New objects could help with this like a bridge or a fork in the road. I also believe the game could benefit from different things to replace nitro with (jump boost, as an example) and benefit from more power ups rather than just 3. The bike system is good but I wish there was a stronger difference between bikes, rather than just a small increase in speed and manueverability (maybe a special ability or something for a bike, or just making the higher end bikes a little bit faster) overall though a phenomenal game that feels great to play
It’s great but it’s been 2 years...
Sun Feb 07 2021 mrb731I love this game and I have so much fun with it! I love how fun it is to play over and over again and I love how paying to get rid of ads is 100% worth it! There is just one thing. It’s been 2 years and there has not been any content updates. The online and in-game leaderboards are great and keep me playing but the game needs something new. I love how you still fix bugs and other things and I think it’s great but with 2 years of no content, I can only hope more will be added some day in the future. Even if it’s only a few small things, the game needs it. Besides that, I love this game and I hope you keep supporting it!
Love it
Mon May 07 2018 plexismaxisThe purchases are nice, a little bit of cash goes a long way. Wish they would offer a motorcycle that is slower... why pay more for a motorcycle that is going too darn fast.
Another note for developers: the menu UI is counterintuitive. Might watch some new players try out the game for thirty minutes to see what I mean. When you’ve paused the game, it’s too easy to accidentally end it and go back to menu. Also when your selecting a stage, once it’s selected it should go back to the menu, so you can play immediately.
Fun game with repetitive tasks
Sat Apr 28 2018 Frustraed AFI had a lot of fun with this game. I probably put in around 10-20 hours. I love the retro graphics combined with fluid gameplay. When you get the bikes that handle well, you truly get immersed into the game. Weaving in and out while avoiding deadly obstacles.
That being said, getting to the higher bikes is an absolute chore (without $$$). The tasks to earn in game coins are free, however there’s only 10-15 tasks. This may seem like a lot, but you’ll get through them very quickly. Once complete, they recycle the same tasks with higher numbers. So now I have to fly off 40 ramps. But it takes 5 minutes for 40 Ramos to even appear.
All in all, I enjoyed the game and would highly recommend.
Great game with a couple flaws.
Thu Feb 28 2019 ❤️Puppy Lover❤️I love this retro racing app! It isn’t too hard and it’s easy to control. I love all the characters and places you can get by getting coins and doing tasks, though I wish there would be more characters. Because I have all the places and characters you can get, and it’s getting a little boring. Also, I wish there were “power ups” instead of just the fuel thing. And just WHY are the characters so expensive? I know I said I already have all the characters but before that, I hated how many coins the characters costed. Other than all that, I think this is a wonderful game.
Love it!
Thu Dec 30 2021 mont nalI have been playing it a lot for the past days and all I can say is that it is simple, you can go on for a lot. It can get challenging if you wish to do so. The motorcycles are not hard to obtain. It is not pay to win. It’s like an arcade game where you have fun but the difference is that you don’t have to pay money every time. The ads are not annoying, and not very long and often. You can even get a revive from an ad of a lot of coins for free. I love it. Thank you!
Has a major flaw.
Tue Dec 18 2018 Negro blankoThis is a great, addictive and fun game. The only problem is that in order to upgrade your bike you have to pay a huge amount of coins. Earning coins in game is not enough. You have to watch ads to earn coins. This is fine and dandy but for some reason my app started freezing when I click on the ads. Paying to remove ads is a bad deal because the ads are the only real way to get coins. The most expensive bike is $80,000. You can either watch 80 ads or pay $1.99 and play 1000 runs assuming you will make at least 80 coins a run...which you won’t. Realistically you’re gonna earn 30-65.
