This is pretty great
This is a great game for trips or for small periods of boredom. I have yet to get far in insane mode, but there is still time.
Just wondering if a button control scheme could be added, as it would be much appreciated.

Portrait view?
I really am glad that the original was added back, even if it's still a little different. But one thing I really enjoyed about the app before the 10 year update was the portrait view. I recently decided to update the app due to the retro version coming back, but one thing I was constantly trying to do was flip it to the portrait view. I would love to see it added back into the game.

It's coming
So close
Look, you have done a great job at bringing the game back from the, let’s face it, pit it was stuck in after the update. One thing i would like to see is a canyon night and regular night stages. Other than that amazing job at saving an old classic game.

Keep an eye out - you just never know!
Arrrggg! If it ain’t broke don’t fix it. Thanks you fixed it,
Updated to new version and so disappointed. The simple retro concept of the original was so much better. Doesn’t seem to be angle option. I really liked the first person mode.
If it ain’t broke why fix it. Another game like space junk not, in my opinion, as good as the original.
Few months later. I did get used to the updated mode but am now ecstatic as I play retro first person mode. Now a classic game. Thanks for the time warp update.

Hi, just to let you know that first person mode will be back - hopefully in the next release!
Needs improving
This feels like a knockoff of the original game. Needs to have a retro background/setting so you can play it how it used to look. The new backgrounds and colors are mostly just distracting. Also needs the original music. Also, I don’t remember the turning being so sensitive. Maybe I’m wrong on that one. ALSO, pausing the game restarts your speed, removing all difficulty from the game. The original version did not have this issue. Sure, you could still pause/unpause rapidly, but you still kept your speed when you unpaused.

Trip down memory lane
Played this as a kid, WAY back in the day. Thanks so much for updating it.
A terrible makeover!
Whoever redesigned the new CubeRunner app should be selling shoes instead. Leaving aside how truly ugly some of the landscape designs are, one of the biggest problems with this new version is that there is not enough contrast between the plane and the various backgrounds. This makes it very hard to see the plane in way too many instances. This was never an issue with the previous incarnation, which used a bold white inverted V” in place of a realistic airplane icon. The attempt to make the plane more realistic has resulted in a nondescript gray color that is very hard to follow against most of the backgrounds. Another big issue is that the plane’s wingspan is too wide. Even though the mazes are now rendered horizontally, it is much harder (if not impossible) to dart through congested clusters of cubes. Really, this game is now a mess! CubeRunner was one of the first apps I downloaded when I bought the very first iPhone, and I have enjoyed it for all these years. But now I may very well delete it and forget that it ever existed. Or perhaps I will fire up my old iPhone 4S, which has been gathering dust for years, just to play the classic version of CubeRunner. I would give this version zero stars if possible.

Great when your bored!!
Personally, I don’t see why all these people are criticizing the update. I have been playing this game since it has been released, and I can tell you, all it has done is improve. I especially like that new jet fighter and choosable themes, because they appeal you, if you know what I mean. Also, is it just me, or does canyon get easier as you progress?? Because in the thousands, there was nothing that could stop me!

Not a fan of the new update
While the new graphics are kind of peaceful, after having this game since it came out, it’s just been a nice bit of nostalgia you could play whenever. But now the redesign kind of ruined the feeling and iconic logo I’ve had for 10 years. I understand why you might think and update is needed, but I think it should be put into a separate game so people can still enjoy the game they’ve had since nearly the start of smartphones.

No portrait mode
Why would portrait mode be taken away on the latest update? It’s impossible to play now. Also choosing realistic graphics over something more cartoonish is a terrible idea. A nice stylised overhaul would have been much better
