My word, The puns in this game… (Beginners, Read this) And (Developers)

Alright, if you’re a beginner and you want to play this game… Heh. Heh. Let me tell you, this is a Awesome, Competitive Community right here. You can, Well, Make a clan or a group or whatever you want to call it and have fun there and cheer each other on! There’s season passes on this game where (Well, If you pay for it) can get legendary cars! Cool, Right? Oh! And also, each car has there own punchline (only the people who been in season 2 understand 😂) or pun. There’s also currency in the game. Like, Coins and Gems. Coins are awarded from the season pass (the free part and the pro one) and other places and can be used in the coin shop for car parts to unlock a car. Gems are rarer than coins and can be used to get higher in the season pass or used at the gem shop to buy rarer car parts to unlock cars. Now for the devs… I have a Idea! What if for a season pass you could make a frozen tundra theme. (Brr) And have a igloo car or a polar bear car for the legendary car that season. That would be awesome! And if you read this developer’s, my name in game is Urnightmar! Hope you guys can fight me in game! Hope to know y’all’s name in game too! I’m hoping to also make one of those group things and I believe I’m going to make the name for the group be “Devastation”. So hope you join! See ya there! -Urnightmar

Great game but... (PLEASE READ)

I like this game a lot and I hope you see this, the one thing that I think would make the game a lot better would would be if you could play a quick match to test out cars. I know I have and it seems like could happen where I had a lot of screws, then proceeded to buy a car I regret buying. I also think the car’s names can be misleading(such as rocket launcher, a car that doesn’t even shoot) and lead to a regretted loss of screws, which can be hard to gain. This seems especially important for rift rider cars because you almost never encounter them in a game, and although you can try a few out, you never really know what to expect. This makes each purchase using rift bolts seem like a gamble, which I, who likes saving up recourses, strongly dislike. I think it would lead to a lot better and more satisfying if you could test the cars before you made a purchase, and it would make people happier. I am only twelve and still would play the game without it but I greatly hope you can add this feature. Thanks for a great game! P.S. this review would not send idk if that’s on you or the App Store, but it was pretty annoying Edit:how come game modes like king of the hill and missions now need WiFi? They never did before and it makes me mad because it used to be my top game to play without WiFi. It is kind of infuriating how they now need WiFi. They aren’t playing with other players or anything, so why do you need WiFi!

So that's it huh……………

You were flawless for three years with your hotwheels I spent playing this game for three years I had every single hot wheel there was and then all the sudden you're just gonna conclude the hot wheels I lost all my data on my phone I had every hot wheel you concluded Hot wheels Wednesday and just called it quits hot wheels was my favorite mode it was what made driver head driver head you stuck with it for three years and now you're just gonna give it up I loved playing Hot wheels you took away the best mode in the game you have no idea how long it took me to get every single hot wheel in the game I worked for months grinding for every single hot wheel and I don't even get a second shot The game is great without hot wheels it just feels empty I loved hotwheels it was the best it made the game what it is today you keep throwing the same exact rift riders levels at my face you realize that hot wheels in driver head would've made a lot farther than rift rider ever would've but now hot wheels will never achieve that do you run out of rift rider ideas that you keep repeating the same levels hot wheels never did that so could you do me a favor could you either make a new rift riders level, bring back hot wheels or make something new please because I lost all hope for this game I just want 2017 have your back please I beg of you I just want the old days back😭😭😭 keep racing dodreams keep racing

I genuinely love everything about this game.

I have played Drive Ahead for a couple of years ago, and had neglected it for couple of months when I thought I had seen everything the game had to offer. But then an update hit that I was completely unaware of, and when I did randomly return to it, I couldn’t have been more delighted. All the new events and “cars” ( including death laser shooting rocket ships ) hooked me back in the game. I fell in love with the new mechanics in multiplayer and immediately crushed the competition with the old legendary cars I had. Eventually it did bring a challenge, but not too much so that it didn’t become a fun, casual game. The only tiny problem I have with this game is that I still don’t know how to select my head. I don’t know if that feature is gone, or i’m just plain stupid, but I seriously cannot figure out how to change my head in the multiplayer mode for my life. I see that opponents have different heads, but I just can’t figure it out. This probably is just my error, but nonetheless this game is plain fun. I have now played this game for several hours and the satisfaction of crushing your opponents face and watching their vehicle explode has never grown old. Thank you!

Used to be good

This game used to be fun. Short games against friends or AI, with basic progression. Get coins, and open a loot box with cosmetics or new vehicles. There were also fun challenges. But they completely changed the entire game. The gameplay and the progression have been completely overhauled, and they removed many elements of the game that I found way more fun. Upon opening the game for the first time in a year, everything has been overhauled. And as I joined a game I was very surprised to find out there’s a health bar, which, that alone discourages me from ever playing again. Turns out they also added ways to upgrade your vehicles, which is a much worse way to implement progression than what they originally had. Getting new, fun vehicles to use was awesome. You would pray to get something good, but even if you got a terrible vehicle you’d still have a ton of fun with it. Opening the loot boxes was always exciting. It was a casual, short, fun arcade style game. I just don’t get why they changed everything in the game down to the fundamentals instead of just making another game. I would still play that game, but I don’t want to play this one. Bring back the old game, and publish this as an entirely different game on the AppStore since it is an entirely different game. Edit: Matchmaking is also terrible, favoring those who pay for better vehicles. And the developers are just greedy and taking advantage of their popular game, spamming ads and in-app purchases.

Can some features be reverted or added?

This game is honestly very fun. I have a lot of progress on my main account, and it came from the time i spend on this game. Though, i do think there are some changes that should be reverted. 1) The new battle arena is great, though i do think the old version was better. Defeating your opponent and seeing those saws cut down their HP bar was satisfying. When i see clips of it today, it brings back a lot of nostalgia. Would be great if it were added. 2) Why was the boss fight removed? Facing off the boss's multiple phases was always very fun. Going through intense challenges, saws coming to you in every direction, and getting bombarded by missiles was very thrilling. I feel like there was no reason for removal. 3) Why was the prize box removed? I understand there could be an issue relating to car parts and stuff like that, but the prize machine was a lot cleaner and more exciting than the modern prize boxes from the shop. 4) The trophy road should be extended. This game makes people spend a lot of time on it. And so, those people can get trophies very quickly. I'm almost at the end, and the reward looks very awesome. But if only there was something more excited for, I would definitely play a lot more. I play a lot still, but the number of hours can still go up.

Issues with the game.

One of my favorite games from my childhood. It’s changed quite a bit, lots of changes I’m not a big fan of, I miss the simplicity of the older versions of the game. Just hop in, play a few quick rounds, get coins from playing and unlock new cars and maps. There wasn’t much more to it and that’s what I liked. I also liked the one hit KOs that the game had. Those were removed in favor of health bars at one point, but I believe it was reverted back at some point. I still would like to see some more stuff be made like it used to be, or improved versions of it, but I do appreciate that some community feedback has been received. As I said it still had a long way to go before it could be as good as it used to be, but adding back the one hit KOs was definitely a step in the right direction. Would love to see stuff simplified more like it used to be, that’s why I loved the game. That aside, I haven’t actually been able to play. Unless my Wi-Fi and Data is off, it tries to connect me to the servers, but it gives me a black screen that never goes away. If I’m offline, it at least lets me play local multiplayer, but nothing more. I haven’t seen anyone else with the issue, but it really is annoying that I can’t play much aside from the one provided mode.

Please revamp two-player and maps

Game is great but two player mode really needs an update. You can only change the helmet of one player and the maps still show what they originally looked like. Actually, just fix maps. The names make no sense sometime, they are never in the boxes, and some the cave maps NEED their sand back. Desert cave. I think the map miniatures/icons should show what the map actually looks like, not just the general layout. Back to two player: I want a way to turn off death events so I can test out features like cars being eaten not having wheels and stuff. Also, some maps, like the alternate cosmic penguin maps aren’t available I think. As a final request (this one might not be possible), the daily mission maps like the lave one where you can’t fly off the map and the race ones because why not. Miscellaneous: Also gift box is very broken but the game is very glitchy overall so it’s mostly just funny. Also when you get a car for an achievement you should be able to click on it and know why. Also give the dinosaur cars/volcano theme a consistent name because every source in the game calls it something different. Really just look around the menus for like ten minutes and fix whatever you see. Thanks for reading I guess.
