This discouraged me from playing more than I wanted to as I didn't want to close the App anytime I wanted to make changes. I don't have much hope that this is gonna be resolved since it's been 10 months since the last update, but if you do read this Lawrence, please let me us know that you’re aware of this. The game does look good. **Developer response:** Sorry for the late reply Koopa. Me and my developer are aware of the iPad problems and do plan on fixing them in the future soon. The game is mainly optimized for iPhone users but don’t worry, we are aware of our iPad audience as well and will have a solution for that soon! ### 5/5 β€” U *2023-10-20, version 2.3.0* Eating a burger with no honey mustard 😑 ### 1/5 β€” Game has nothing to do with football *2023-02-13, version 2.3.0* The downs don’t mean anything, getting a first down doesn’t do anything, and scoring a touchdown just warps you to the bottom of the map with no stoppage or anything. It’s literally just frogger. You move in a grid and get to the end without getting hit by one of the enemies. Once your three lives are up, the game is over. ### 5/5 β€” NICE *2022-07-17, version 1.1.1* I love this game it gives you a old gaming experience with new fun ### 5/5 β€” Good review *2022-06-26, version 1.1.1* Awesome game!!! Play this!! ### 5/5 β€” Great geame *2021-12-26, version 1.1.1* Great game love it once you get the hang very intense ### 5/5 β€” New Features! *2021-12-08, version 1.1.1* I love the new ball tracker when you pass gives me. Makes passing 10 times better! ### 5/5 β€” What the world has been missing *2021-11-19, version 1.0* More addicting than candy crush ### 4/5 β€” Quick Fun *2021-09-02, version 1.0* Pretty good, I really like the concept of playing football with monsters! ## Frequently asked questions about 8 Bit Bowl ### What is 8 Bit Bowl? 8 Bit Bowl is a simple, retro-style arcade game where the objective is to score as many touchdowns as possible.
