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.

This game is very addictive, making yourself constantly wanting to beat your last score. Nice simple graphics and ease of use. Why only 3 stars? Because it's missing the option of racing against friends in real time like at the Science Museum. You only race against their ghost and only one of them at a time. There should be an option to play over Chromecast with the whole family. Another issue is when designing your rover, the buttons are in the way so it's difficult to utilise the whole screen.

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 😀😀😀

Fun game. Slightly unsure of the mechanics, maybe some over simplification, but great for exploration nonetheless.
