Fixed a crash from tapping on screen during startup.
Speed Demons is a chaotic, top-down racer that feels like a modern tribute to 'Micro Machines.' The sheer number of vehicles on the screen at once is impressive—it truly feels like you're weaving through a freeway at 200 mph. The physics are arcadey and 'floaty,' which makes drifting around curves feel exciting, though it takes a few races to get the hang of the sensitivity.
The progression is focused on upgrading your car's durability and speed, which becomes vital as the 'demons' (aggressive AI racers) start trying to ram you off the road. It’s a bit more aggressive than your average racer, but that’s where the fun lies. If you enjoy games where you're rewarded for high-speed risks and aggressive driving, Speed Demons is a great way to scratch that itch. The short race lengths make it ideal for mobile play.
Over 50 upgradeable cars
Top-down perspective for maximum visibility
Dynamic traffic and weather systems
Intense car-to-car combat
Stay directly behind an opponent to enter their 'slipstream.' You'll gain a significant speed boost without using your nitro, allowing you to slingshot past them on the final stretch.
In this mode, your goal isn't just to win, but to force a specific number of rivals to crash. Use your car's weight to nudge them into oncoming traffic.
Yes, you can choose between a virtual joystick, tap-to-steer, or tilt-based controls in the settings menu.
This game is simply amazing. When I had a 3-month trial for Apple Arcade, this was the game that had me seriously considering renewing the subscription. The second I saw it available for pre-order I happily paid the $4.99. Every race is heart-pounding speed & excitement. The controls are buttery smooth. Particle effects are eyegasmic. And above all else there’s a ridiculous amount of content! Dozens & dozens of tracks/races/cars. Every car handles differently & are able to be upgraded if you desire. There are 6 or 7 different race objectives. It’s just a flat out incredible game. Thank you radiangames for releasing it to the masses!
Radiangames is back and better than ever and if you’ve played their previous games, you’d know how much high praise that is. Graphics, controls, gameplay and content…all spectacular. Don’t hesitate to buy this game. Between this and Flying Tank, it feels like the golden days of the App Store are coming back.
Great game, and I like this a lot. However, choosing the different races can be confusing. When I first started the race, I couldn’t tell if I should slide or click on the race. In other words, the graphics blend in and there’s so much on the screen. Maybe it’s the game/race running in the background or ??…. You see prologue, then you see all the chapters. This needs to be a little easier on the eyes to be honest. …and no, I’m not old, and play games all the time. When upgrading my vehicle, this is also confusing. Keep is kiss….
This game is absolutely beautiful. Only thing I would change is the movement it’s a little hard to control at some points. For example when you need to make a turn to avoid a wall. Other than that it’s perfect.
At heart I am a casual gamer. I like this game. I wish it were compatible with JoyCon controllers but it is not due to weird bindings. Great game! Also, GameCenter achievements may be broken. My in game progress says chapter one complete but the achievement in game center has no activity.
This is a great game, very fun and I always find myself reaching for it while I'm waiting for my coffee etc. However, this game WILL randomly erase all of your progress, so don't spend the $6 on it unless you're ready to do a whole lot of grinding to get back all of your cars and upgrades.
While it is super laggy at times I realized that I was wrong about the level that wouldn't spawn, it was just me not being fast enough.
This game is awesome, but it would be very cool if we could do custom races, where we can toggle modifiers (ex. Crazy traffic, health bar, etc) to the game, and set the game type. But other than that this game is great
