User Rating:When I had my hands on this game, I expected something similar to the Rollercoaster Extreme game, where you find yourself on the coaster and have to sway according to the motion. As it turns out, its nothing like that and to tell the truth, Crazy Coaster is better!
You are a coaster company owner buying plots around the world and expanding your business empire. You aim to build the best coasters, open them to the public thereby earning money and further invest on new coasters. The core of the gameplay is to ensure the safety of the roller-coaster and this is done by performing trial runs with dummies, zombies, aliens and jokers. You can pull, shorten, turn, twist, elevate and whatever else to the track, but make sure our fancy pals reach back safe. Also, each level provides objectives like finish ride within 30 seconds, do air-time of 2 seconds etc and you can inaugurate the park only after these are met! Specials like Loops. Twists, Caves, Turns, Tunnels and Utilities come in handy to earn more points and to meet the tasks. You can add decorations and plant trees on the plot making it pleasing to the retina as well as increasing the ticket rate. Once a level is completed, you gain money as time pass or you can modify it again to earn more returns! In the meantime, buy another plot to repeat the process with a new set of tasks and with new features unlocked. When you are done exploiting a continent, move to others and start earning.
Extra cash, gems etc can be purchased from the store to fast things up. The general 3D animations and further coaster effects are impressive while the intuitive controls and camera-view toggles are good addons. With its unique like-worthy gameplay and respectable graphics, Coaster Crazy steals the awesome word from my mouth.

Final Statement:The best and safest coasters around the world - Can you?
Simply trace your finger over the touchscreen to build and tweak any coaster you can imagine, in glorious 3D. Its so easy to do that anyone can build them, ride them, crash them - tall, short, long and fast; modern, wooden & crazy. The physics simulation is easy and fun to use, yet rewards each bit of care put into improving your coasters with ever higher scores.
Coaster Crazy takes you on a journey around the world (and to the moon) to build a cash-making coaster empire with ever-more insane creations. Unlock more special pieces, coaster cars and track types that let you earn even more cash and gems, and meet the fiendish challenges posed by the Crazy characters in the game.
They are demanding customers:
- Can you make your coaster fast enough to get the speed freak surfing with delight?
- Can you keep G-forces low enough to prevent the Professor’s Nitro Glycerin from exploding?
- Can you beat a coaster score before the zombie starts infecting other passengers?
- Can you do that all at the same time?
- And what will happen to the little old lady if your ride is too intense?
- And then there’s the Mayor. Alien. King. Policeman. Queasy guy. Accountant. And sheep..
Thread your coasters through themed scenery and design custom paint-jobs to create the ride of a lifetime – and then upload to share with your friends and the world! See how your creations stack up on the Coaster Crazy global leaderboards, and earn achievements. When yours are downloaded by others, you’ll earn in-game currency.
Or you could just mess around to your heart’s content in the coaster-building ‘sandbox’.
And if Coaster Crazy’s oodles of gameplay isn’t enough for you, each day there’s a fresh challenge that you can take part in to earn worldwide kudos - and gems!
No sheep were harmed in the making of this game. But the queasy guy really wasn’t happy.
Coaster Crazy offers in-app purchase of gems and cash, which can be used to unlock content and accelerate gameplay.
