## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Well

*2019-08-20*

Kept asking me o rate so I did to get it to stop. Ok game overall. Maybe a 3

### 1/5 — Rubbish

*2019-08-19, version 1.0.3*

No control, impossible to progress in the game , DELETED

### 1/5 — Abysmal controls!

*2019-08-16, version 1.0.3*

It’s impossible to control where you land when you jump. DELETED!

### 2/5 — Addictive 💩

*2020-03-14, version 1.0.3*

The bosses are hard and a few bugs but despite that it’s pretty good

### 3/5 — Just ok

*2019-09-22, version 1.0.3*

Decent game mechanic and design. 
Controls are fine. 
Much too easy, and short. 
No point in the gem collection. 
A few gameplay bugs.
Might be ok for the very very young, but then it has IAP for pointless gems, so should not be intended as such. 
Lacking in finesse overall. 3* might be a bit generous, but rating from the perspective of what I think should be its target demographic.

### 3/5 — Bueno para pasar el rato

*2019-08-23*

El juego está bien para distraerse un momento, es sencillo y liviano. Las gráficas y los niveles no impresionan. Las mecánicas de movimiento así como los ataques no me acaban de convencer, habiendo jugado casi todos los Mario no e smut buena comparativa.

### 3/5 — nice

*2019-08-10*

I think it it’s nice. I would make the directional buttons larger and move them together (touching) so you can slide from one to the other like a regular cross pad without having to life your finger. I’d also make the jump button a bit larger. nice job.

**Developer response:** Thanks a lot for your precious advice. Will see what I can do in next update!

### 4/5 — Nice

*2019-08-16*

Fun game. I have had many times where the controls stop working though. You’ll press jump and the character won’t jump, or press left/right and he doesn’t move. Still a very fun game that hopefully gets supported with more content later on...

**Developer response:** Hi! So happy to hear that you liked the game. The game had some collision issues and it had been fixed in the latest update. But since as a player you found new bugs in the game, they will also be checked and fixed soon. Sorry for the inconvenience. Other than that happy gaming.

### 5/5 — THIS GAME IS RIGGED

*2024-11-03, version 1.0.6*

### 5/5 — I love this

*2021-04-14, version 1.0.6*

Yeahs

### 5/5 — Game is a surprise!

*2021-04-12*

It takes me back to Mario days. The best part of the game is the option to save progress. Must have for 90s kids like me.

### 5/5 — Mastered it

*2020-09-12*

Pls pls make a 8 bit kid 2 just pls

### 5/5 — Good job 😄❤️

*2019-08-25*

Loved going through the game and just play a nice retro style game.  Lots of fun and I recommend playing it :)

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for your good wishes for my game! Happy to hear you enjoyed my retro style platformer.

### 5/5 — Very Cool Retro Style Game!👍

*2019-08-23*

I'm probably going to give away my age here but what the heck. This game is awesome, it reminds me of my teen years when playing 8-bit games we're rather new.. LoL
This game is more challenging though... and note to the Dev(s); Ya did good! Hoping to see more levels in the future. Well done!👍

PS.. I see a couple of snarky remarks already which I find to be unfair, this game is only a preview which the Dev clearly states. Much support from this gal, finally a retro game that is both fun and challenging. This is merely a fun sneak peek and I can't wait until this 8-bit game is fully launched!   ~Shine~

**Developer response:** Hi! Thank you so much for your honest and posititive review! I really do appreciate and yes this is just a sneak preview of what more to come! I am glad you enjoyed the game which I also enjoyed while making! Happy gaming and long live retro!
