AP has two main issues - theme choice and artwork. Artwork includes the screen graphics.

Hot Wheels seems like a great redemption title, and kids don’t really care about art as much.

Anyway, when picking a theme, it’s an easy choice - go for the one with lots of action. So far neither theme from them had had any action associations. On the surface Hot Wheels might have that but the kiddie undertones kneecaps it.

I’m not going to suggest alternatives, that’s a much more personal preference. But as a group when picking these things, just ask “does this lend itself to ADULT action”. Rick and Morty passes that test.

All you need to do is look at what Stern did to turn their sales around - they upped their art game, picked hot themes, and had big software improvements. It's right there for anyone to look at, a proven strategy that works.

So the game looks like it might be fun, but I have to speak up about the screen. Look at this screen capture:

The numbers are unreadable. This has been somewhat typical for AP games - using multiple fonts, with too many colours and not enough contrast. I didn't really comment on the previous games but now it's game 3 and this stuff is still happening.

Please guys, look at how Alien and Dialed In do it. Spooky has been good as well with ACNC and now R&M. Those are the gold standard. Lots of reference games to look at. No reason for this to continue.
