### 5/5 — 🔥

*2026-08-16, version 1.44.0*

Love it it’s challenging funny and fun

### 5/5 — How?..

*2026-08-14, version 1.44.0*

How do you make a game so engaging, so fun, and yet so RAGE INDUCING in an old-style pixel video game style?! Me and my family always battle each other with our scores, and it’s so much fun! Sometimes I’m playing, like, 5 attempts in a day, or sometimes it’ll take up my entire afternoon. The controls are awesome too.

…

I have become water bottle dodging sushi rolls. That is all I have to say.

### 3/5 — Good game but..

*2026-08-11, version 1.43.0*

Okay so I just played this game but it’s really hard because the controls are a little sensitive and if your on mobile then it’s a bit difficult however it’s a great game 👍

### 4/5 — 🔥👌🙂

*2026-07-16, version 1.42.0*

Amazing game and infinite skins creates infinite possibilities

### 5/5 — Suggestion

*2026-07-12, version 1.42.0*

Really nice game. It is very fun, easy to adapt to, but very challenging as well. I think you should make it where after you jump  over the sawblade, it becomes a healing saw. I love seeing new stuff, and customization prices set hard, yet fun challenges. Thank you for taking the time to read this. UwU 😺😸😺😸

### 5/5 — Reminds Me of a Gameboy!

*2026-07-10, version 1.42.0*

Heyo! 
This game is a very quick, precision-type almost platformer (minus the platforms. Do not stand on the saw blades), with an emphasis on the precision, but just the right amount of balance to make victory feel satisfying. Also, the music does not restart when you die, and as a result, jamming is not interrupted by slip-ups (a huge plus post geometry dash). 
Anyway, sorry to go on and on. I had a lot of fun, and this game is very fast-paced, precise, and satisfying to play. 

Thank you very much for the opportunity to try your game! It is pretty much perfect, and very fun to play. I always feel terrible giving suggestions to developers, because y’all tend to know what you’re doing, but I was curious if you considered adding wall jumping? It’s possible it would throw something off in terms of gameplay balance, so I’m not sure, but I did feel the potential in the controls and setup. Anyway, thanks so much! I had a blast.
(ooh, and also, would you mind telling me your high score? I’ve so far got an unimpressive 13, but I was super curious to be honest. Hehe thanks)

Edit: thanks for getting back to me! 

That bit about the touchscreen makes sense, and after getting a lot more into the game (up at 47, now! Yay!) I definitely agree. 

Thanks so much for making the game! It’s one of the few App Store games with touchscreen controls that just really click. Good job! 
(Impressive score! Most impressive…)

### 1/5 — Awful Controls

*2026-07-03, version 1.42.0*

Genuinely don't know how the controls are so bad in this game with 3 buttons. Time and time again my character jumps instead of moving right or moves instead of jumping. I figured it was an issue with me but I played Downwell IMMEDIATELY after (which has a near-identical control scheme) and had literally no issues between moving right and firing my gunboots. Failed at the first hurdle.

### 5/5 — Hey

*2026-06-28, version 1.42.0*

It is fun and addictive. But i just got 53 by pure luck. Trying to beat it!
