Why us

Battery and size

How much space it takes and how quickly it drains a phone — both are in the review.

We finish what we start

A review only goes up after at least a week with the game, not after ten minutes of the tutorial.

Offline first

Every review says plainly whether the game works on a plane or a train without signal.

Ads and purchases, measured

We count how often ads interrupt play and what the paid version actually removes.

A minimal line puzzle with a thousand levels and very little else.

Dust Rally
Racing

Dust Rally

★★★★☆ 4.0

Dust Rally is the arcade racing game we keep coming back to: three-minute races, tilt or touch controls that actually respond, and no energy system stopping you after two goes.

  • No energy system
  • Tilt or touch controls
  • Optional reward ads only
  • Smooth on older phones

Questions & answers

Do you review paid games?

Yes, and we prefer them. A game you pay for once usually treats your attention better than a free one.

Do you accept payment for reviews?

No. We buy every game and every in-app purchase we write about, and we do not run sponsored posts.

Can I republish your reviews?

A short quote with a link is fine. For anything longer, write to us first.

Why are there no scores out of ten?

A number without an explanation tells you nothing. We give a short verdict instead, and say who the game is for.
