Some of you may already know what Sugar Rush is. Maybe you even have it on your phone or tablet. Or perhaps you’re just hearing about it for the first time. If you’re looking for an Android game that’ll fill your need for speed, then you’ve found it. Let’s dive right in and show you how to play.
Download And Install
The first thing you should do to play Sugar Rush is download the game from the Google Play Store. And when you do, make sure to install it properly. Some players have said that the game doesn’t work properly if it’s not installed from the beginning. So make sure you’ve got that installed before you begin.
After you’ve downloaded it, you need to make sure that you’ve got the proper Android version installed on your device. This game was designed for Android devices running Marshmallow (v6.0) or higher. If you have a device running Android lower than that, then you won’t be able to play. It’s as simple as that. Some video drivers and other software that the game needs to function properly may not be available for devices running on older versions of Android.
Get Ready For The Race
Once you’ve got the Android version of Sugar Rush installed, you need to get ready for the race. Before you start playing, you need to ensure that you’re using a GPS enabled device. Without a GPS, you won’t be able to use this game. So before you play, open up the Google Maps app on your smartphone and enable your location for showing nearby businesses and places.
Next, you need to find a fast and unfiltered Internet connection. The faster your Internet connection, the better the game will run. Some people play on Wi-Fi connections while others prefer to use mobile data. It really depends on your device. But for the best performance, find a fast and stable Internet connection. Remember: this game uses a lot of data so make sure that you’re not going over your monthly data limit.
Follow The Instructions
After you’ve found a GPS-enabled device and fast Internet connection, it’s time to follow the instructions. You’ll be given a short tutorial on how to play the game. After you’ve played for a while, you’ll find that there’s a lot more to it than just following directions. But if you want to get the most out of this game, then here are some helpful tips.
- Use your thumbs, not your fingers, to interact with the game
- Interact with the game by swiping, tapping, or use your face buttons to click
- Look at the screen frequently to ensure that you’re staying aware of what’s going on
- Don’t zoom in or out with your device’s camera
- Ensure that your device is set to the correct time
If you’re playing on a tablet, then make sure that it’s been powered on and connected to a network before you begin. Some tablets are configured to allow certain apps to be used without being connected to a WiFi or cellular network. While this can be convenient in some instances, it can also pose security risks. Make sure that your tablet is always connected to a network before you use it.
The Basics
Once you’ve played for a while, you’ll find that you’re going to need to familiarize yourself with the basics. There are five cars that you can drive: American muscle, Japanese muscle, German engineering, British engineering, and Italian design. You’ll use your device’s arrow keys to move around and press the spacebar to drive. Your car will have a certain amount of health that gets depleted when you hit other cars or take heavy damage. When your car gets low on health, you need to find a safe place to stop and recover before you can continue playing. When you reach full health, you can drive again.
This may seem complex, but it’s actually very easy to navigate once you get the hang of it. If you hit a wall, your car will bounce off and you’ll have to restart from the beginning. But there are no time limits or goals in this game so you can take your time playing and getting comfortable with the controls.
Upgrade Your Engagement Ring
Did you purchase a new device recently? There’s a good chance that it came with Android installed already. In that case, you can take advantage of the gift and play Sugar Rush. Just make sure to get the latest Android version (at least 6.0) to ensure that you can play. Updating your device won’t be easy or free so remember to charge it every night before you use it.
There’s also PC and Mac versions of this game available so if you’ve got a compatible device, then you can play on that as well. Just make sure to download the correct version for your device.
Additional Tips
If you’re playing on a larger screen, then use the on-screen keyboards made available to input text. Swiping your screen with your finger will be difficult on a large display so a virtual keyboard could prove to be much more convenient for such users.
Some people play this game while traveling. Since there’s no real danger in this game, you don’t have to worry about accidents when playing while driving. But make sure to keep your eyes open for traffic so you don’t cause an accident.
Another tip is to connect your device to a power source that’s better than the one it comes with. This will ensure that your device will be able to play for longer. Some electric guitars, for example, have their own special charger that’s not made for standard portable devices. If you play music regularly, then you might want to invest in one of these specialty chargers. They’re usually cheaper and more convenient than buying separate chargers for devices.
More Than Meets The Eye
As you play more, you’ll find that there are many more ways to interact with the game. Some players have reported that certain combinations of buttons can be pressed to activate additional features. Some of these features can be mapped to secret characters that you can use to gain an additional edge in the game. For instance, if you press the up button when driving, you’ll notice an animation that suggests you’re in first gear. This isn’t just a visual effect and it can actually be used to help you drive faster. More information on this topic can be found in the game’s manual that comes with your purchase.
Some other features are designed to give you an advantage in competitive play. Did you know that you can press the down button while driving in first gear to perform a burnout? Or that you can hold down the left button while turning to spin around? These are features that can be used to win more often than not. But keep in mind that the other players are also using the same tactics so you won’t always have an edge over them.
Even more so, some players have reported that it’s possible to play this game on smartphones that are more than a few years old. Some technical support documents from the past have suggested that older versions of Android may not have been compatible with newer features which could explain why some people are still able to play while others can’t. While there’s no reason to believe that this game is any less stable or enjoyable on older devices, it’s something to keep in mind. If you find that certain features are missing or don’t work properly on your device, then consider whether or not you should play at all.
