Three things desperately need to be fixed/adjusted
First and foremost, like your other games, the way the screen is oriented currently makes it uncomfortable for iPod touch owners to play as the headphone jack is located on the bottom left hand corner. Include an option to flip the screen orientation so that iPod touch owners can play as comfortably as iPhone users currently do. You seem to have ignored the fact that the platform is NOT iPhone only, but the combined iTouch/Phone. Secondly, although you may disagree, your racing games really ought to have an option to toggle between auto and manual acceleration. At the very least this should be an OPTION in all racing games on this platform. You give the user the option to toggle graphics but not control? That's just silly. Lastly, and related to that last point I brought up, you really have to work on optimizing the game for this platform. There is no reason to have graphics toggle. There is no reason that lens flare and one or two effects should be slowing down the framerate to the lengths that it is. The PowerVR MBX-lite GPU is more than up to the task of handling this game with all effects at a speedier clip. Other than those three things the game is solid. Needs improvement, but solid nonetheless.
: )
This app rocks! Just it would be cool to not have to race against others and more sound effects.
