Great Fun

One of the best IOS games ever. Please make more like this. Deserves more than five stars.

Could be better.

While I had some fun playing this game (I finished in a few hours over a couple of days) itโ€™s definitely not among the best platformers on the app store. The controls are very imprecise โ€“ too often I died because I meant to jump but rolled instead, etc. Also the visuals and the audio of this game didnโ€™t really impress me. I love a retro style but this just seemed generic (Wayward Souls and VVVVVV are two games with retro styles as well but theyโ€™re got loads of charm and individuality). A mostly competent, but ultimately uninspired, game.

Good but the D-pad is horrible

Good but the d-pad and on screen buttons hardly ever respond

Refusing to download off the App Store

Unable to download from App Store after purchasing. Plenty of space on ipad and have since downloaded other apps.....hmmmmm

Incredible

This game is amazing. Please make more pyramids!

Exceptional Metroidvania Goodness

Donut Games has a history of making solid games with more arcade style play (given 19 or so of their games that I own). This is a departure from that as this game is an open world platform puzzler. Like Metroid or Castlevania but maybe a bit more Indiana Jones. This is not just a random indie looking affair either but something with the polish that the big N put in their platformer a back in the 90's. Sure all Donut Games titles have a lot of polish but this one is a new level of polish even for them. If you like this genre, this is the game to get. If you love the genre as I do this one doesn't disappoint. I give it my highest rating.

Fun platformer

Generally easy, but with a few hard sections tossed in to keep it interesting, and with both lots of non essential symbols and a dozen or so hidden areas to find before you reach 100% explored, it's still playable even after achieving the main goal.

I want more!!

This game was amazing! I could not stop playing it. I finished it in 2 days and now I am left wanting more! Please add onto the game or make a similar one. I loved it. I also loved that there weren't any micro transactions and it wasn't bugging me to make purchases to play the game better. All around, great game!!

Perfect update for a perfect game

I was suffering from the "stuck in the wall" bug, and after reporting it I discovered that it'd been fixed in the next update. Thanks for a speedy response, Donut Games!

I'm now happy to give the game the 5 stars it absolutely deserves. This is my go-to game on my iPhone!
