After getting the new Mi 5, as usual, when a new phone is in hand, I tend to scour the playstore to install new stuff.

Core Mechanics:
Press, hold, release. The truck will jump over ramps. You gotta press the accelerator, and release at the point the last wheels leave the ramp. Then it will jump. When it lands, When the first wheel(s) touches the ground, you have to press again. It’s damn simple mechanics. this is not racing. It’s ridiculously simple, and yet, it’s so addictive. It’s just a drag race with ramps to jump on.

The monetisation part:

• Each time u race, u need a ticket. Everyday they give you 10 tickets. You can of course buy more G coins. You can convert the G coins into tickets, to play more.
• Every time u win, u get points. Points can be used to buy parts. You can of course buy more points. You can use Points to buy more cars.
• Parts : sometimes it’s just easy buy. Sometimes, after you buy, it says u gotta wait 15 minutes for the part to ‘arrive’. or, use G coins. OR you can watch 15 seconds videos to ‘speed up’ the arrival. In the higher level parts, each 15 second video speed up 15 minutes of ‘arrival’. Some parts say will come in 30 minutes. So you gotta watch 2 videos.
• Level : When you win more races, you level up, and you get 10-15 G coins.

After being a chum for 2 days, I think enough is enough.

I also installed Alto’s adventure :

Essentially, it’s the same as Tiny wings, only available on iOS.

But this is a guy on a snowboard, and you’re chasing llamas, collecting gold, try to do backflips, jump across chasms, on rooftops, on flags. There are 3 special coins : absorb all nearby coins in some distance, auto hover, and llama call.

I uninstalled after playing it for 4 days i think, getting stuck on level 19. Doing TWO triple backflips proved too difficult.

And i also reinstalled an old old game. I think I played this game on my first Android phone : Doodle Jump.

I’m leaving this in the phone just for fun. This guy will jump automatically, you tilt your phone to determine where he jumps. He will keep jumping upwards. He can also bounce from left of the screen, appearing on the right.
