  4. [R23] Bike Life! 5/5 · US Good: It’s good I just wish there was a infinite mode
  5. [R49] Bike Life! 1/5 · US Too many adds: I understand that you need the money to keep the game going, but an ad after every single level is overdoing it, to the point where it isn’t playable.
  6. [R53] Bike Life! 5/5 · US Hi supper fun: So much fun learn how to play in one day
  7. [R66] Traffic Rider 3/5 · US one suggestion: i've been playing this game since about 2018. the progression takes forever. i've been trying to get the $850,000 bike for so long. i've played this game consistently for 8 years now. i love this game. i've dedicated hundreds of hiurs. but i've never even came close to the 850k bike.
  8. [R1] Bike Life! 1/5 · US remove add: i bouht remove forced add and it still didnt work got scammed from my money

  11. [R12] Bike Life! 3/5 · US fun game, but..: it’s a pretty fun game but there’s an ad after every level and i bought remove ads and no ads were removed at all..
  12. [R3] Bike Life! 3/5 · US Adds: To many adds
  13. [R67] Traffic Rider 1/5 · US Honestly, the game is too hard. To buy a new motorcycle, you have to save up for several days because the cheap ones don't have enough power. It's impossible to pass levels with coins; they set unrealistic conditions. Lower bike prices or give more money. · translated
  14. [R72] Traffic Rider 3/5 · US game says things are impossible that aren’t impossible: I usually don’t leave reviews but, on mission 35 it says that you can’t go 6km in 75 seconds with the bike i have but then i go to time trials and went over 6km in under 75 seconds, they just want you to spend money on their game, cant go more than 5 levels without needing to buy a new bike. even though that pisses me off i still really like
  15. [R78] Traffic Rider 3/5 · US Good. Could be better: Needs more customizations for the bikes. Would be nice to able to change mirrors, fairings, exhaust etc. Takes forever to earn money when the bikes themselves are expensive.
  16. [R17] Bike Life! 5/5 · US Chase anwser: It’s a good game it fun and I like how the bikes have all the details just one problem to many adds pls no more adds other than that it a good game overall that’s why I 5 but I was going to give it a 4 beacuse but adds but it just adds to buy guys
  17. [R86] Traffic Rider 5/5 · US Awesome: If you like to rage bait this game is for you. Barely has any ads, lots of motorcycle, great graphic physics, and if you want to feel or sound like your in an actual motorcycle this game is totally worth downloading.
  18. [R112] Traffic Rider 5/5 · US Super tuff and addicting: Great graphics for a mobile game, there are a wide variety of bikes and a bunch of levels. Plus, the endless mode which is prolly my favorite part.
