Recent Dark Pattern Reviews

Daily Rewards reported on Dec 11, 2023

There is a daily login bonus, but it’s not significant enough as to make the game difficult for not achieving it.

Advertisements reported on Dec 11, 2023

Ads are consensual. They are used as a way to directly earn premium currency or skip cooldowns. The player has the option to select an ad to do these things.

Wait To Play reported on Dec 11, 2023

Yes, but the cooldowns are per car, (maintenance upgrades) and there’s always other modules and other cars you can play while some are timed out.
