The monetization aspect of the game has received overwhelmingly negative feedback, with many players expressing frustration over the excessive number of ads that interrupt gameplay. While some users are willing to pay to remove ads, they find the prices to be unreasonably high, leading to a perception of the game as a cash grab. Despite the fun gameplay, the intrusive ads significantly detract from the overall experience, making it difficult for players to enjoy the game without constant interruptions.
“There's no ads, not pay to win, awesome.”
“I greatly enjoy a free to play game that doesn't require microtransactions to progress.”
“Great game with near to no ads.”
“The ads make this unplayable... and the fact you need wifi, so you're just tied to the ads.”
“The game is very fun, but the amount of ads is atrocious, especially combined with the playstyle of the game, where you're meant to do many runs trying to perfect it, but every few restarts you get a 30 second ad and it's a huge turn off, I've found myself leaving the game once I've gotten a few ads just because I'm tired of watching them.”
“I paid to get rid of ads and I'm still getting ads and when they responded right away about the situation despite my crude language they still were willing to help me and that's awesome in my book love the game two it's got great graphics and unique style recommend that you download and play this game now.”

The game's story is primarily conveyed through its solo missions, which offer a variety of tasks and challenges that players find engaging. However, many users express frustration with mission tracking limitations, unclear objectives, and technical issues that hinder their progress. While the graphics and gameplay are praised, the difficulty of certain missions and the lack of comprehensive tutorials detract from the overall experience.
“Love this game! It's very easy to go on another level by doing missions, and the maps become harder and harder with a lot of stunts you can do. 😍 Download it now, I recommend this app to you! 🤙🤙”
“If you like smooth and good graphics games, then this game is perfect. It's super fun, has challenges, missions, different bike parts, and many other cool stuff.”
“They will give you quests to earn adrenaline, but they are the hardest thing in the world.”
“There is a mission on Devil's Leap that is impossible because you have to get an 8x multiplier before you reach Yellow Crane, but it says that the jump with the Yellow Crane is the fifth jump. I've counted and it is the fourth, so you can only get a 6x multiplier before the Yellow Crane jump. Please take my advice and fix this in the next update.”
“Until the missions became quite difficult and the lagging made it impossible.”

The music in the game receives mixed feedback, with some players enjoying the tracks while others express frustration over audio settings that reset after ads. Users report issues with limited music options and glitches that prevent them from experiencing the game fully, such as black screens and persistent sound despite settings being turned off. Overall, while the music is appreciated by some, technical problems significantly detract from the experience.
“Good music, perfect amount of ads, just good.”
“Also, the title music is the same as from Descenders.”
“It's a very good and fun game; only thing is that the controls can be a bit weird.”
“I gave it 4 stars only because of the limited trick list and the lack of music (but I only have the first 2 tracks unlocked so it might change). Otherwise, everything else is top-notch: graphics and gameplay are all smooth.”
“Just annoying, the controls are annoying. Sure, when you want to quickly spend time, play this, but the music and sound settings are just horrible.”
“Could be the greatest game in the history of games, but I wouldn't know as all that happens when I open it is a black screen with some music.”

Players appreciate the cool level design and find enough replayability to keep them engaged, particularly for a mobile game. However, some feel the game lacks depth compared to its predecessor, suggesting that improvements in physics and the addition of old maps could enhance its playability and replay value.
“Cool level design and enough replayability for a mobile game to keep most happy.”
“The game feels rushed and is way worse than the first Touchgrind BMX game, which actually had effort put into it. You should adapt to the original Touchgrind BMX physics to make it more playable. I give 3 stars for the trick list and the graphics only. I would recommend adding the old maps and also making a low graphic setting possible since my phone is not really great.”
“Make it more playable and easy challenges.”
