When you find "Manga Drive" on the App Store, tap "Free".


Tap "Install".


After installing the application, tap "Open".


When the application launched, a screen with a touch like an American comic was displayed.


Tap "OK". It is dangerous while driving, so please operate by someone other than the driver.


The home screen looks something like this.


A menu is displayed at the bottom of the screen. Tap the gear icon ......


The body selection screen was displayed. The car that I have at the beginning is a motorcycle called "thunder".


The body that is locked so that you can not get it unless the level goes forward ... ...


Some models can get in in-app billing.


I found something like a robot-like form named "Boreece".


Then let's actually run. This application is exclusive for the driver, so the person sitting in the passenger seat is in charge. In this way, I had the camera facing forward.


When the car starts running, the GPS senses the movement and displays "START".


The screen is 3D displayed, and various characters and scenery fly towards here.


The decoration character "Gogogogogo" appears as coming out in manga while keeping running.


It is like this while driving. The GPS sensor detects the movement of the car so that the display of the screen changes.

If smooth running continues, combos will be added.


Depending on the mileage, the stage with the actual place name such as "SHINAGAWA" or "SHINJUKU" is set, and points are added for each clearing.


When the stage is cleared, the score, the points earned, and the rank of smoothness are displayed. The following screen is the one when getting the highest ranked "S".


As the stage progresses, the landscape of the background also changes.


While running smoothly, the scenery image of CG like the above is displayed and it becomes the screen full of the future feeling, but if you do a rough driving such as sudden acceleration, sudden braking, sudden steering wheel etc., it will turn over There is a mechanism to be pulled back to reality. A warning screen is displayed as follows ... ...


When thinking that a manga-like screen was projected ......


Suddenly the reality screen was displayed. When it changes to such a display, it means that driving is rough.


Since this application is supposed to be driving a future ride, the remaining battery level is displayed at the lower right of the screen, and the application will temporarily stop when the remaining amount becomes zero.


In such a case, tap the battery and charge it using the point you have, you will be able to use the app again. In addition, it is irrelevant to the actual iPhone battery level.


Try to get a new car body using the points accumulated. I chose "lightning bolt" that I can get at level 2 or higher. Tap the image of the car body.


Tap "Yes".


"SELECTED!" Is displayed on the screen, and the transfer has been completed.


As you run, the display on the screen changes a bit. There is only "lightning bolt" and lightning runs on the road.


I will try what will happen in case of this pretty "fire bolt".


A flame was displayed on the road surface, and the effect sound "Bobobo" was displayed. Besides this, the screen effect will change depending on the car body, so it may be fun to collect various kinds.


While the application is running, the body will heat up as expected. It was about 33 degrees in the hot place when measuring. Therefore, it may be a weak point that the consumption of the battery is also advanced.
