Rugged Rovers is a great game. Very creative, and fun to play with your family and friends. But I've discovered this glitch; if you trace around the motor, the cover your rover in the biggest wheels possible it will go much faster than ordinary rovers and will become bouncy. But on the whole I think this game is great 😀😀😀

This is a great game. I first saw it when I went to the Science Museum with my 13-year-old son. I used to go there when I was a kid, but now I live in the USA I can't just hop on a train to get there. When we get home we downloaded this version, and we play it together regularly, Good father son bonding. The game is fun. Most recently we got over 1000. It's a shame that you can't connect to the Science Museum screen unless you are in the Museum. My phone had run out of power when we were there, so I couldn't play it there. Thanks making it available, and maybe you will update it some day.

The lack of a fast-forward button is a major drawback. I don't want to play a game that involves fourty forty minutes of sitting and watching after forty seconds of design.

This game doesn't appear to work anymore. It opens, but tapping on single player just changes the button color. And tapping any other menus does nothing.

Game is always crash. My teacher told me to use this game for homework, and now I'm failed bcs no matter how great my design is, I can only run up to 400 m before the game closed. Btw I can't save my design every time I close it. It's a very daunting job to draw the design again and again when you start playing, comparing designs.

Does not connect to the game in the museum. We are sitting here in front of the screen connected to the Free Science Museum Wi-Fi but still nothing.
