  1. [R5] Summer Wheelie 4/5 · US Great game needs shadows: It’s a great game but you should add shadows so we can tell when we’re close to the ground or not it’s really difficult to tell.
  2. [R8] Summer Wheelie 5/5 · US Love this game: I have been playing this game for about 3 days and I already have the third longest wheelie (that I know of) a score of 26,764, and here’s where my one wish comes in, I wish this game had an online leaderboard accessible in the game, so that not only will it be more competitive but also we could see what place we’re in. Thank you anyways!
  3. [R14] Summer Wheelie 5/5 · US Best: This game is the best. My favorite game of all time. It’s so cool when I got the last bike. And this is the best game for eating something because you play a round then there’s a ad then you eat. Best game ever

  11. [R51] Summer Wheelie 2/5 · US Needs more: I played the game since it first came out and it hardly changed. The game functions great and the mechanics are good. But they need more maybe by adding new music, new characters, new bikes, new maps, and even new combos, or even just improving the graphics.

First off is the sounds. 2 and 4 stroke. I know you try to make it sound like we’re shifting gears but it truly doesn’t really sound realistic also from them not revving high enough either. Second thing is the consistent ads after almost every ti
