Overall, I’m finding more variety in map styles than Hill Climb Racing 2. For the online races it’s either smooth ground, a bunch of divots, or insane hills. While in this game there’s the exact same ideas along with: stairs, collapsing bridges, movable object that form new pathways, jumps with zero ground in between. As well as resistances such as object being thrown at you, or giant fans that can flip you over. There are also more modes than HCR2, there’s marathon, speed run, elite, and normal. While HCR2 has either online races which are either too short or insanely amplified and kinda stupid hard when using lower levels. While I now I’ve seen other people getting mad at the physics of the game, it does say “FUN” in the description so it’s all about your point of view. The only place where HCR2 is better is the fact that it’s the sequel to a great game so 🤷🏽‍♂️

I'm not sure which aspect is more frustrating, the inconsistent "physics" or the utterly ridiculous amount of ads. As far as the physics go, I can run the same map four times, exactly the same way, pedal to the metal and when I encounter the first obstacle sometimes I'll bounce up onto the rear wheels, sometimes I'll land on the front wheels, and occasionally I'll land upside down. Don't get me started on bouncing off of some drawbridges after 1000m of an 1100m course, nearly to the end of your 56th attempt to beat it and flipping over uncontrollably to explode when you've simply bounced backwards the other 55 times.Then come the ads. Yes, I get that this is a free game funded by ads. Yes, you can opt in to ads to get free upgrades or gold. But when after every 3-4 attempts at a track you throw in a 30 second ad that can't be skipped? It wouldn't be so bad if it were every 5 minutes or so, but the fact is when you're exploding every 32 seconds due to the aforementioned inconsistent "physics" this game ends up being an exercise in futility and has nearly resulted in a flying iPhone on multiple occasions. If the physics were more consistent and the ads slightly less frequent, this had the makings to be a great game. Until then, my iPhone is at risk of being thrown at least once a day.

Just wanted to drop by and say, I’ve been playing hill dash since iPad #1. Every time apples 3 year product life expectancy came up, my then current iPad would unexplainably croak and I would go out like a moron robot brainwashed by big corporate programming and buy another one. One of the first things I would do is reinstall hill dash, it’s like home cooking or something. I’ve finished all the levels countless times. Then I would just go back and start again. Well, Rent in the apple app palace must have gone up hella because I can only get three maybe four attempts at a level before a 30 second commercial pops up. It wasn’t like that in the olden days! Im either building up a resistance to my apple flavored Thorazine or I’m just plain crazy but, I can’t stand commercials! I can’t do it any more. All those seconds add up to minutes and then whatever comes next that I could be funneling into real meaningful and even MINDful gameplay (I’m not sure what that means but every one is saying it so it must be good)Anyway, I gave you 2 stars for old times sake. Maybe someday in the distant future when my mind is uploaded to another moron robot we can look back and laugh about all this. But from the way things are going I don’t think so. We’re all doomed.....
