Jet Car Stunts - iOS Review

Jet Car Stunts: True Axis - $1.99 - $1.99 IAP 

Jet Car Stunts is indeed an over-the-top racer that features 36 of the craziest tracks you’ll ever see. There are two main modes: Platforming and Time Trial. Platforming is where it’s at.

You’re placed in a red F1 looking car, equipped with a jet engine for clearing those long jumps and other gravity-defining moments. You’ll find yourself on a track elevated thousands of feet above the earth’s surface, with nowhere to go, but through checkpoints in the sky. The object is pretty obvious, to race through the track as quickly as possible, while keeping falls to a minimum. You’re given a set amount of jet pack boost between each checkpoint, with several checkpoints in each level. You are awarded a bronze, silver, or gold metal at the end of the race, which depend on your total falls. The only way to get a gold metal is to run without falling. You aren’t given a metal if you fall more than 10 times, but are still allowed to continue. Sometimes just making it through the track is a prize in itself. Jet Car Stunts is extremely difficult, which is why it’s so rewarding.

The graphical style is quite minimalistic, with most of the obstacles being neon colored geometric shapes, but I think this works perfectly. The premise of the game isn’t new, but is perfectly executed. The controls are simple, with an on-screen buttons and device tilting. I found the default control scheme to be flawless.

True Axis delivers the most fun I’ve had on the iOS device to this point. This is the most perfect iOS game, it’s like the iPhone was built to play Jet Car Stunts. True Axis included OpenFient leaderboards complete with ghost cars. Also available is a $1.99 IAP for 36 additional levels, some crazier than the original.

If you consider yourself an iOS gamer, do yourself a favor and go pick up this great game!
