Matchcreek Motors: Custom Cars

I am 1000 levels into this game. seems like enough time to write a review. I like Cars, I like games that I can waste time with. This game scratches that itch. I like being able to build and customize cars and the progress in this game makes it feel like an actual refurbishment process (kinda). My biggest complaint is there isn’t more customization options like advertised occasionally in the game. The story is solid though I feel like it sometimes moves slowly with how much time goes into each car but is still good considering many phone games just lack any cohesive storyline. This game has easy levels that are hard, hard levels that are easy, Strategy in how you use your moves, Using power ups is extremely important and there are levels where pretty much every move you have to use has to combine multiple power ups. You will have to use coins, ads for extra moves, power-ups that don’t cost moves, and the infinite lives the game gives you wisely. A mixture of saving enough and spending to get through harder stretches Overall this game is everything you need in a good time waster for a matchmaking game, worth a try if you like cars and know some iconic models.

I starting off loving this game. It had a cheesy but kind of cool story intertwined with the game, and while some levels were hard, eventually you would get just the right layout to clear the challenge and move on. I had no problem spending money on the game, as it was worth it, in my opinion. What they don’t tell you is, while they had mapped out all of these builds previously, they were not nearly finished with the game. At some point, that story I referenced above, it just disappeared. They came out with “re-mix” levels, which I believe they did just so people didn’t go find something else. The money I had no problem spending before, I know instantly regretted. They have no problem making you watch adds for two additional moves, just for the ad to never go away, creating free revenue for them and a complete waste of time for you. The more you play, the more you realize they only care about making money. They don’t care about the gaming experience, being upfront about showing levels they haven’t even created yet, or making this a fun game for car or puzzle enthusiasts. I’m guessing they had to make the money they used to be able to use the manufacturers licensing somehow, and it’s at the cost of you. Avoid this game and give it to one who actually cares about what they are putting out there.

This game isn’t actually all that bad. Until you reach the levels that are almost impossible to pass without spending real money. The only reason I say almost, is only due to the fact that you can pass the levels by replaying them until you’re out of lives and refusing to spend money, then waiting for your lives to refill. For some reason, they have the game programmed to get a little easier after you deplete your lives. Otherwise, they want you to buy coin packs so you can keep playing the levels, or buy power up packs to make the levels easier. This same issue happens on every single level. I just recently played lvl 158 and literally had no other choice but to spend half of my moves on matches that gave me no progress on the board whatsoever. By the time the game loaded in moves that I could use to progress on the board, I only had 4 moves left and lost. Just to be shown ads to buy moves or power up packs. Overall, the game could be MUCH better. But, as a vast majority of mobile game developers, they are money hungry and don’t want to let people enjoy the game without spending money, as much as they possibly can.
