SpotRacers - Car Racing Game 4+

I Don’t Ever Leave Reviews BUT…

I actually really like this game.

The idea is a sort of “Pokémon go” made easy which I love because it makes finding a new car that much more rewarding.

The gameplay is VERY SIMPLE but fun nonetheless and the games go by in literal seconds.

All this basically turns the game into the ultimate “on the go/morning commute” game.

This game has TONS of promise and I’m excited to see what’s next.

vvvv(Ok game Devs this ones for you)vvvv

I have found though some scientific research that you can take pictures of basically any car on the internet with a license plate and unlock it. I feel like it would be extremely difficult to make a scanning system that would be able to tell the difference, but maybe you guys can think of something idk. Maybe something depth related since it would be the difference of a 2d image to a 3D field?

Other than that I haven’t really experienced any sort of issues/glitches/hacks

Developer Response ,

Hi Sean. Thank you for your constructive review 🙏 We are aware of the challenge with people spotting cars from the internet and we've thoroughly tried looking into this. We've already tested several "screen identifier" options who all ended up also ruining gameplay when spotting IRL cars 😕 We're still investigating different options, but it is key that the solution does not ruin the intended gameplay. As for now - on the positive side, it makes it easier to play for people in the countryside 😄 Thanks again.

Great gameplay, iffy progression

The gameplay itself is quite fun to play. A minute to learn, but hours to master. The car customization is simple, but it’s enough for me. I do wish there were more ways to get cosmetics though, as it is very challenging to get first on the special races due to other players at your level having significantly faster cars than you for some reason.
One issue I have is with the number of tools vs gears you get. I have several cars already after not much play time that have 2-300 gears that I can’t touch, because you earn tools at a much slower rate, and upgrades can cost 15 gears, and 1500 tools. I wish there was something to do with all of the spare gears that I have, because at this rate, I will never be able to use them.

My other major gripe with the game is the daily missions. Most of them are absolutely impossible to complete due to where I live. The missions ask you to take pictures of specific manufacturers, some of which include Opel, Vauxhall, Skoda, and Renault. None of these manufacturers sell cars here in the states in any major capacity. It would be nice to have the missions factor in where you live and what cars are possible to find.

Better driving mechanic

This is a pretty cool idea for a game, and i love the art style and track design. Almost everyone at this point has taken a picture of supercars they search online so they have one of the fastest cars in game, but the game isnt totally ruined by this as it incorporates a lot of races that ban them. The special events are also pretty fun and unique, but ive found that on some monster truck races, the handling of cars simply isnt enough to make it through some turns even at a snails pace. Finally the last thing and probably biggest problem of the game is how the driving works. Each track basically has a fixed line that the car tries to stick to, and the car can go nuts if you move off of it even a little, even when you would befine otherwise. Like there are some tracks where i guess we have to stick to the inside or outside of the track, which is the best option for optimal times, but the fact is its really hard to hit that perfect speed every time and the car can move past the line. But instead of taking a recovery route that anyone could do in a normal racing game, the car tries to desperately stay on the line, even if it means throwing the race.
