### 3/5 — Yo

*2026-04-07, version 3.8.0*

This game was kinda boring but I would recommend not letting kids  watch you play it but other than that this is pretty good for a game good job Ivan

### 4/5 — Fun to play and suspenseful

*2025-09-12, version 3.4.5*

This game is great but there’s a small bug throwing off my gameplay. I can only interact with items when they’re to the right of the character. Can’t use computers or open lockers/boxes if they’re on his left

### 2/5 — Why..?

*2025-04-08, version 3.4.0*

Please, why did you change all of your nice previous art with ai slop?? And why did you change the titles… All I want is Endurance and Ailment. At least the gameplay isn’t affected, but still, the presentation has definitely fallen.

I get using AI to reduce your workload but it just looks uncanny and a bit disgusting. Can you please revert the art? Worst case, you can just pixel art something, which is something you do quite well.

### 4/5 — Awesomeness

*2024-11-20, version 3.4.0*

It’s addictive n awesome to play

### 5/5 — PERFECT MANN

*2022-12-25, version 3.1.0*

Dieses Spiel hat Konsolenqualität, es macht Spaß ist nicht zu gruselig aber auch nicht zu lasch, Ist nicht zu schwer aber auch nicht zu einfach

PERFEKT VERDIENT 5 Sterne

### 4/5 — Great game

*2022-11-04*

Ailment is a fast paced 2D shooter with an interesting story, great pixel graphics, a good sense of humour  and a lot of hidden Sci-Fi Easter eggs. 

I do wish these had been a way to heal your companions so they didn’t die or a few more enemy types rather than just guys with guns but overall a great little game and well worth playing.

### 4/5 — Multiplayer

*2022-09-30, version 3.1.0*

Does multiplayer even work?

### 5/5 — THE BEST GAME

*2022-09-21, version 3.1.0*

Ive never played a game so much good this the best some times ago I play Roblox,Minecraft. But this best I start play this and the time pass in a little bit this really good not like others this is special: the story is good , the gameplay is better , I will play second part and write some on it to!

### 4/5 — Fun game

*2022-08-22, version 3.1.0*

A really fun game I like the story so far but there is one small issue but it’s easy to over come it’s just a small glitch where the zombies are stuck outside you can shoot them in a specific spot tho not a big issue

### 4/5 — WHY

*2022-08-20, version 3.1.0*

I was playing the game and I said “wow this is a good game” TILL I died in the armory so I was like it’s ok I can get a free revive by watching a add BUT NO I watched the add again and it still didn’t work. And I was playing multiplayer with my brother and I accidentally killed him. But other than that it’s a good game

### 2/5 — Forced ads

*2022-07-26, version 3.1.0*

A bit too heavy on the ads. Wasted potential of a decent game sadly.

### 4/5 — Very good game but…

*2022-07-24, version 3.1.0*

The game itself is very fun I’ve enjoyed the combat and the story very solid game however when trying to use a controller only certain elements work or at least that’s the experience I had

### 5/5 — Game game

*2022-07-11, version 3.1.0*

Please, add gamepad support!…

### 5/5 — Really fun so far

*2022-06-30, version 3.1.0*

Pretty fun so far. I just wish I could pick a different character to play the story with just more options is all. But still fun.

### 5/5 — Please add controller support

*2022-06-24, version 3.1.0*

Love the game and only partially works with backbone, please update!

### 1/5 — Bof

*2026-01-09*

Traduction à revoir, contrôles très moyens, trop de pubs (mais l'option pour la retirer ne coûte vraiment pas cher, donc ça va de ce côté-là ☺️). Pas pour moi.

### 1/5 — Ailment

*2024-05-19, version 3.4.0*

I dont know if the game has a bug butt im playing and im trying to shoot zombies and life is just getting taken off of me and theres no one by me...

### 1/5 — Ruined by ads

*2022-08-08, version 3.1.0*

Too many ads in the free version. Too many layers of Xs and arrows to get out of ads. Ruined immersion.

### 1/5 — Just plain bad.

*2022-02-27, version 3.1.0*

This game isn’t a bullet hell. It’s just “spam enemies everywhere in the later levels” simulator.

### 1/5 — Controller support

*2021-11-07, version 3.1.0*

Terrible controller mapping, and there wasn’t even a setting to fix it.

### 1/5 — Controller support

*2021-10-12, version 3.1.0*

You should map out the controls, it’s easy to put labels on buttons for actions. That’s literally all you have to do for controller support, just seems lazy not to have that in this day in age. Thnx.

### 1/5 — Cant play cuz camera

*2021-01-08, version 3.0.8*

Cant play cuz camera make me dizzy. I vomit :(

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2019-12-28, version 2.5.5*

This game is garbage. First off the ui covers other ui and nothing works. The controls are terrible and the maps flashy makes it hard to see. Bad game dont play

### 2/5 — So far so good.

*2025-12-16, version 3.8.0*

Fun little shooter not super easy or hard.  Great stress relief

### 2/5 — Ads between every level

*2025-09-07, version 3.4.5*

Game lis good for now, but having an ad between every 3-5 min level is annoying.

### 5/5 — The good stuff

*2024-06-30, version 3.4.0*

This game is the good stuff. It’s got the classic 8 bit or 16 bit. But this game is good and yes the ads are kinda like buggers but I can deal with them. At least if it got guns and zombies and it’s a story mode then I am in.

### 5/5 — Simple, but Amazing

*2024-05-05, version 3.4.0*

I own this game as well as many others from the developer. I own this certain game on my Xbox as well as my phone. Only other game that I own on both systems is Hyper Light Drifter. Two games that have nearly nothing in common except that they are amazing beyond any ideas you can imagine from looking at pictures and reviews.

### 5/5 — Finally, a good mobile game

*2023-11-23, version 3.4.0*

I tried so many mobile games, but I can never keep with any due to the boredom that comes after the first few levels. This game was not like that. It instantly hooked me with the creative storyline and the graphics and gameplay. Absolutely would recommend this game to anybody.

### 5/5 — Fantastic

*2023-09-23, version 3.3.3*

Finally a great eight bit graphic game. I’ve been needing one of these for years on mobile.

### 5/5 — i give some suggestion about it

*2023-07-26, version 3.3.3*

it is awesome,I love the style and story
1.the music should stop when you kill all  enemy in a room.The music could go down before the enemy are killed instead of disappearing.
2.maybe the small boss in each level may be marked with brighter color
3.Spend too much time on way may wear down player’s patience.it is a good idea to make the enemy pretend to be dead as a dead body to scare the player.
4.it is better to make a button to show the way that player should go.sometimes,the door is too far away from the key even out of the map left up.it takes too much time to fine the way.
I do hope it better,love it.

### 5/5 — Great game

*2023-03-06, version 3.2.3*

The developer even got it to work with my controller when I was having issues with the fire button. So much better with my controller!

### 5/5 — use the same controls from endurance

*2023-02-28, version 3.2.0*

the joystick on endurance was perfect, this one on ailment is not, it almost always sets you off to 4 o’clock. does not feel intuitive at all.

*edit* wow, the developer got back to me in 1 day saying he’ll fix it!! my review just went from  ⭐️⭐️⭐️    to    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ just for that reason alone!! can’t wait to test out updated controls :)

### 5/5 — This game's just fun!

*2023-02-04, version 3.1.5*

I can't have enough of games with little to no boring cutscenes that still carry plenty of lore. Stuff a player can figure out about the game's environment while in action is the best and it’s exactly what the creator delivered. The artstyle is also really appealing! Props to everyone who participated in the development and creation of this game.

### 5/5 — Ailment

*2023-01-08, version 3.1.0*

Очень крутая игра крутой сюжет мне очень нравится

### 5/5 — Bravo

*2023-01-05*

Jeu très sympathique qui m’intrigue, je vais continuer l’histoire pour voir la suite.
