But after 20 minutes of playing I was disappointed to discover that you had to pay money to continue. This is totally understandable for any game, but it just made me a bit sad because the game is so fun. And some people just can’t spend money on mobile games . ### 3/5 — 3 *2026-04-01, version 3.0* графика красивая но играть без обучение и с мелками багами раздражает ### 4/5 — Needed haptics *2026-03-05* It would be five stars for me if it had good haptics **Developer response:** Thank you for the review! We're glad you enjoyed the game. Haptics, noted! We'll try to add haptic feedback in a future update. ### 4/5 — Nice game!! *2026-02-12, version 3.0* Great work, really nice, beautiful and pleasant game! It deserves to be better known. Not too easy but not to hard, playing is a pleasure! Small price (0,99€), you feel happy to help the designer. ❤️ ### 5/5 — Très bon jeu *2025-11-22, version 3.0* Superbe gameplay. Facile à jouer. Amusant et bonne musique avec ça. ### 5/5 — Amazing game, I’m just broke *2025-11-01, version 3.0* It’s great to see such a refreshingly simple game, I just wish I had money to spare to buy the whole thing. The simple movement reminds me of Alto’s Adventure, but giving the hero a weapon really helps unlock the full potential. I love the fact that killing the walker enemies isn’t necessary if you time jumps correctly, and I love that even in the demo you still include a boss fight; even scaled back as it is. Thanks for making such a great game instead of just making a boring oversaturated 3D slop game, it gives me hope for the mobile gaming scene. :D ### 5/5 — Charming and Fun! *2025-10-15* This game brought me lots of enjoyment! Great art and gameplay! Simple and you can challenge yourself to improve in each level. **Developer response:** Thank you so much! I’m really happy to hear you enjoyed it and had fun challenging yourself. That means a lot! ### 5/5 — Souls móbile . *2025-09-18, version 2.7* Jogo viciante me lembra as épocas de soulslike , mas ter que comprar para continuar isso mata a gente . ### 5/5 — Tres bon jeu *2025-09-04, version 2.7* Bon runner. Jolie et intéressant. Continuez comme ça ! ### 5/5 — 🔥 *2025-09-02, version 2.7* Love this game, but there is a little bug: in chapter 3-2 I touched a big vine and fell into the void at the same time —> my character fell under the map and remained there (I could only jump, but don’t move horizontally or shoot an arrow). And I had to start that level from the start ### 5/5 — No response *2025-07-30* Why didn’t the purchase button respond when I click it **Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback! Sorry to hear the purchase button didn’t respond, let’s get that fixed. Please feel free to reach out to us at info@averagearcade.com so we can help you troubleshoot the issue. ### 5/5 — best game you can buy for 1 daler *2025-07-24, version 2.7* very cool game ### 5/5 — I love it *2025-06-27* I think the game mechanics are amazing but can there be an option to increase the speed of the auto Scroll? **Developer response:** Thank you so much for the review! We’re really glad you enjoyed the game mechanics. We appreciate your suggestion about increasing the auto-scroll speed, while it’s a great idea, it’s unfortunately not something we can implement in this version of the game. Still, we’re grateful for the feedback and love hearing what players think! ### 5/5 — A great game *2025-06-27* I really like the mechanics and is just a nice game to play from time to time with a good background and good pace. Keep up the good work. **Developer response:** Thank you so much for the kind words! We’re really happy to hear that you enjoy the mechanics, the atmosphere, and the overall pace of the game. We’ll keep doing our best, thank you for the support! ### 5/5 — Need more *2025-06-27* We want more stages of this masterpiece. **Developer response:** Wow, thank you so much for calling it a masterpiece! We’re incredibly honored and truly grateful for your words. Hearing that you want more stages means the world to us, and it’s the kind of encouragement that keeps us creating. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts! ### 5/5 — Amazing game *2025-06-26* The game is so much fun. I’m playing it. It’s a lot of new ventures takes a few times to try over but it’s really fun to play at first. You played like three games and then you gotta pay but the payment is well worth it. It’s really fun because you earn a crown. **Developer response:** Thank you so much! I’m really glad you’re enjoying it, and I’m happy to hear the crown felt worth unlocking! 👑 More adventures are on the way! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Не понял шутку *2026-04-13* Проходишь 2 этапа и… дайте денежку и играйте дальше. Всего недоброго **Developer response:** В игре есть бесплатная часть, чтобы можно было попробовать механики и понять, подходит ли вам игра. После этого доступ к остальному контенту открывается через покупку. Спасибо, что попробовали игру и оставили отзыв. ### 1/5 — Terrible aim it goes 1 way and then another same with controls I've played games like this easy b4! *2025-06-27, version 2.7* Fix the controls. ### 1/5 — Mid *2025-06-22, version 2.7* It looks awesome and I thought it was gonna be fun but I genuinely couldn’t get the stupid thing to work. Tutorial was no help. ### 1/5 — Play free 2min a pay *2025-05-18, version 2.5* 👎 ### 1/5 — И за это платить??? *2025-05-16* За что деньги отдавать **Developer response:** Можно заплатить, чтобы разблокировать всю игру. У нас такой способ оплаты: сначала можно попробовать бесплатно. Рекламы в игре нет вообще. ### 1/5 — 2 bölümden sonra ücretlendirme yapılıyor. *2025-05-13, version 2.5* Dikkat! ### 1/5 — Говно *2025-03-25, version 2* Говно ### 2/5 — Не стреляет *2025-11-05* Очень странно почему то , в начале показываете как играть, а в самой игре кнопка стреляет не стреляет. Как то резко прыгает вперед и все **Developer response:** Нужно нажать на правую сторону экрана и потом медленно провести пальцем вправо, чтобы выстрелить. ### 2/5 — Losing one life per arrow shot? *2025-07-08, version 2.7* It demands perfect gameplay which I think is inappropriate for mobile gaming. I play souls-like and real time tactics, so it's not like I don't have patience. ### 2/5 — Good concept *2025-06-23* The concept of the game is good, but it’s annoying that it’s marked as a free game and then after playing for 5 minutes you’re informed that if you want to play anymore you have to pay. **Developer response:** Hi there, Totally hear you, thanks for the honest feedback! We decided to keep the game free to try so players can get a feel for it before deciding to unlock the full version. After the intro, the full game is a one-time $0.99 , no ads, no battle passes, no 2,000 unnecessary skins. Just the full experience, all at once. We figured that would be more fun (and way less annoying) than bombarding you with pop-ups or microtransactions. But we get that it’s not for everyone, and we really appreciate you giving it a shot. If you have questions or thoughts, feel free to drop us a line at info@averagearcade.com, we’d love to hear from you! And hey… maybe we could get a free key for you ❤️ Cheers, Average Arcade ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Should be on switch 2 *2026-05-21, version 3.0* I love the game but it should be on switch 2 I wonder what’s stopping this game to be on consoles ? ### 5/5 — Замечательная, очень хорошо *2026-04-06* Лучший доллар, что я потратил за долгое время.
