Island Racer‪.‬ 4+

every thing about it is just ok other than graphics in wich are horrible and grainy

This is a terrible racing game. There were reviews saying people had to pay, but now it quits unexpectedly with a higher chance of your computer breaking. 3 times within 5 minutes. I would never recommend this game to anyone! I now feel like my brand new M1 macbook is gonna break or shut off while using it. If you want a game that will make your computer crash every single time you open the app. This is the game for you. I also was not expecting much with the bad reviews. This is worse than I expected. I am deleting this app and never using it again.

If it were an art exhibit, would it not be a study in self-parody? They improved the physics engine—which I noticed right away--but at the expense of the graphics. The steering and handling are more fluid, but the graphics are a lot grainier and saturated. I find my eye more drawn to the static on the canvas than any improved steering and handling.

If they didn’t mean to do it then why did they do it?

Okay, maybe they’re just looking at things from an engineer’s POV. Sure, coding is hard work, and modifying physics engines is no walk in the park.

But it looks like in doing so they may have lost their audience. Not the best time to ask for money. I did pay for a liscense for one of their motorcycle games, only to be hit with the same paywall, asking me to cough up the license fee again.
