Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I "bought" this via 99 free Amazon coins and I wish I could take it back. This game doesn't have anywhere near enough features to justify the cost. Since no one has bothered to talk about the gameplay, here it is: The screen always pans north, and you, starting with the blue car shown in the screenshots, gain 1 point for every vehicle you pass. You lose 5 points for every duckling you squash. Trees regularly appear in all the grassy lanes. You can swipe up twice to accelerate and manage a total of 3 different speeds; you can swipe down to brake, which always brings you down to your vehicle's lowest speed, regardless of which of the two faster speeds you were previously at. You can move left and right on the road and the grass to avoid cars, ducklings, and trees, and to collect coins that are used to unlock more cars. I suppose your car must be loaded with drugs or something because every now and then a police car will come from behind and chase you down and try to hit you; it can catch up to you if you're driving at anything other than the fastest speed. Coming into contact with anything other than ducklings and coins (so trees and other vehicles), as well as veering off to the right into the water or smashing into the railroad on the left, ends the round. If you slow down and move out of the way so that the police car is in front of you, it tries to block you by moving in front of you. This prevents you from earning any more score because you need to drive faster to discover new cars to overtake (all vehicles drive at the same speed as your slowest and middle speeds). If you're fast enough and have enough trees and cars to your advantage, you can deftly get around the police car. If you can make it smash into other cars or a tree, you get 25 points for the destruction. It is very hard to unlock more vehicles. There are notably fewer playable vehicles than there are characters in Crossy Road (probably less than a quarter of Crossy's row in total), so it takes 200 coins to get a chance at unlocking a new vehicle. The other reviewers are also correct: there is no landscape mode (but there is no reason to want that since the game pans vertically very fast and the entire screen is easily visible in portrait). The swiping response is a bit delayed, so it is tough to control the car. The game is more difficult than Crossy Road though it has fewer features; you're only driving on those same 7 lanes pictured (there are no bridges or anything else interesting). The car's hit-box is very large, unlike characters in Crossy Road, so it is easy to die, and the car shifts comparatively quite slowly from lane to lane—as opposed to Crossy Road characters who can hop fairly quickly. The game is very difficult and so far, for the few vehicles I've unlocked, there are no terrain or even sound effect differences for any of them. That's quite disappointing. The physics of the game are also incorrect; some vehicles that you incapacitate in your own demise can be pushed by other vehicles after the round ends, and those vehicles that are supposed to be disabled can keep pushing forward on the lanes at basically the same speed as other functioning cars. That doesn't make any sense at all! And if you're wrecked on grass, dirt tracks keep actively flying from your car's wheels as if it was still driving (that might make sense if your car didn't EXPLODE in multiple fireballs each time to pitch-blackness). But I did like the fact that your vehicle visibly tilts when falling into the water on the right. The coding for the police car behavior is pretty nice, and the train and the innovative Ferris wheel-like gift box are original and pretty enjoyable, but otherwise, this guy has stolen directly from what seems to be the duckling sprites or at least one definite exact sound effect from Crossy Road. I wonder what legal implications that has for him.
