The app then informs players that they can spend coins to unlock and upgrade cars, drivers, power-ups and gadgets. When attempting to close this pop-up window for the first time, players are told ‘Before you go, how about some more coins to get you started?’. This shows the distance they covered, number of coins collected, as well as any achievement bonuses that were obtained. After running out of time, players are shown a screen labelled ‘Nice driving!’. Players attempt to run through as many stopwatches as possible, to ensure they have the longest period of time possible to obtain gold coins. Players are able to pause their game at any point, but only have a set amount of time to drive the course – if they run over a small stopwatch icon, they will be afforded slightly more time to run the track. Along the way, there are floating gold coins which players are able to collect. This takes players back to the last checkpoint they crossed when driving. Players ride along a pre-determined route, and if they veer off or fall into a lake/river, they must tap the ‘redo’ button on the right-hand side. The car accelerates on its own, and players must steer left-or-right, or use the brakes to slow down. Gameplay subsequently begins – players are shown a third-person view of a character sitting in a small one-person vehicle. Written instructions are then shown on the screen, informing players to ‘Drive as fast as you can!’, that ‘Checkpoints refill your time’, and to ‘Collect coins for upgrades’. Once an option is selected, they are also given instructions on where the vehicle brakes are located on the screen (on the bottom left-hand and right-hand corners). When the app is first opened, the player is asked to select a ‘Steering Option’ – either tilting the device to manually turn left and right or to touch the sides of the screen to steer their vehicle. The skills required to play the app include quick reflexes and motor skills to utilise the central functions of the app. The objective is to drive through various courses, avoiding obstacles and collecting coins along the way which can then be used to upgrade items within the game.
