  9. [R3] Wheelie Life 2 3/5 · US Decent, but definitely needs work: I’ve had the game for some time now, hopping on it from time to time but have noticed some things that could be fixed. 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

  12. [R10] Wheelie Life 2 1/5 · US This is horrible: Don’t play this game this just wasted your time it’s to me four minutes just for a ad. I wasted my whole day by the time the ad was over.

  16. [R21] Wheelie Life 2 3/5 · US I bought no ads and it didn’t work: I like the game it’s a good game the only annoying things is the ads I bought no ads and it didn’t work
  17. [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.
  18. [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 cheaper ones lack power. It's impossible to pass levels with coins; they set unrealistic conditions. Lower motorcycle prices or give more money. · translated
  19. [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
  20. [R75] 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.
  21. [R22] Wheelie Life 2 2/5 · US Controller support: Add controller support and I’ll play
  22. [R47] Wheelie Life 2 5/5 · US Please add control support: I love this game so much
  23. [R51] Wheelie Life 2 3/5 · GB Controller support: This game is actually a good game but can we be able to put the buttons where we want or be able to use a controller because I can’t wheelie and have it controlled because I can’t tap the break or can we be able to adjust the bikes eg brake strength,sprocket changes and the rest
