What We liked about the game : 

The game was tested on the iPhone 5S as well as a dual core android phone and a quad core one. The effects were amazing in the iPhone as well as the Quad Core Android one. However, the game on the Dual Core phone lagged sometimes and did not show the great effects we saw on the other devices. Water splashes across the camera and you can see water droplets sliding down your screen. A hydro jet (Like Nitro) is available that when recharged, which can be used for a boost of speed. To recharge this, you perform breathtaking stunts with gestures. For example, swiping the thumbs of both of your hands towards the left side of your screen for a rotational stunt, etc. Water looks quite realistic and the whole game is vivid. The game is divided into different levels and each one is more fun and challenging than the previous. The game's recieved 4.6/5 stars in Google Play. According to me, the game is quite fun and worth the price. You should definately check it out. I guarantee you... You will not be disapointed.
