Controller support

Why is there not controller support? The touchscreen controls are awful. Please add mfi controller support!

Bob and His Blob

I have an iPad 12 and maybe this game was not designed for an iPad.
Cannot get the interface to work at all.
It is kind of a shame since the game looked like it would be fun.
My opinion is that you should not buy unless you just want to throw away $5.

Not a fan

Maybe on the iPad but not the phone. Audio problem and hard to control. No save

I want a refund

I downloaded the game today, but cannot figure out the controls on my ipad or my iPhone. There is no tutorial and I cannot find any instructions online. Iโ€™ve deleted the app and I want a refund of my $4.99

No gamepad support.

Why on earth is there no gamepad support for this console game?

Um, no? I canโ€™t get the controls(fingers, stylis, praying) to work

For a few seconds we could get him to jump and kind of move. I switched to a stylus thought I had a home run and then nothing.

The game looks like fun and we got it to play with the grand kids. NONE of us can get it to work well. I have one more adult gamer that I will ask after work to see if THEY can make it work on the IPad. If not...this may be the only game I will try and get a refund for.

Too hard?

Doesnโ€™t seem like a hard game itself, but the control of the boy is terrible! How frustrating... Been โ€œplayingโ€ for 10 minutes now and canโ€™t even get the boy to jump over to the next section to keep going. Havenโ€™t done or found anything yet. I just wasted $5... :(

Charming ! But No Gamepad.

This game is a treasure of my youth on the NES. It is one of the first deep, puzzling games I took the time to learn and finish. I was so proud, I finished it 5 more times and memorized it. The presentation here looks fittingly modern, while capturing a boyish charm that should make parents of young gamers happy today.

I am disappointed, however, to not see MFi controller support listed. As an Over the Road Professional Truck Driver, I use my iPad with MFi Gamepad as a portable console, and also play on my iPhone 4S. I am concerned the game may be too modern to play on my iPhone 4S, so the purchase price may be a failed investment for me, but I still wanted to show my support. I also hope you will consider bringing us Double Dragon NEON. That game was an absolute childhood favorite of my friends and I and the NEON styling is nostalgia overload for 80s movie fans. Also, as a retro enthusiast on Youtube, I notice DD Neon has been well received by the community, so I would love to play it on my iPad with MFi.

Beautiful!!!๐Ÿ˜„๐Ÿ˜„๐Ÿ˜„๐Ÿ˜„

When I started playing this, memories came flooding back to me ๐Ÿ˜„๐Ÿ˜„๐Ÿ˜„

Fantastic tribute to a classic game

I have fond memories of the original boy and his blob so when I saw this I had to give it a try and Iโ€™ve not been disappointed. It captures the original feel and game play mechanics while embracing modern graphics and game options.
Iโ€™m seven levels in and the challenge rating has been progressing with each level without ever feeling too harsh.

A must for any Boy and his Blob fans and strongly recommended for everyone else.
