Has the same feel as Limbo and Inside but not nearly as good. For having to pay for the game I expected it to be longer. Disappointed. Especially since they will probably make you pay for the “continuation” which is ridiculous. ### 3/5 — Great game, controls need work *2020-01-14* Love this game! Unfortunately, playing on the iPad, the levitate control is virtually the exact same as the shooting which means it’s basically a toss up on which one you’ll get. A lot of times in the game where you need to levitate very quickly or you die, and it’s super frustrating that you you can’t count on the controls to pass a level, even if you know exactly what to di ### 4/5 — Thank you, for the update! *2017-03-16* Hopefully part 2 will be coming out soon as well ### 4/5 — Great game in the style of limbo... but *2016-11-12* This is an expertly crafted game in the style of Limbo (by Playdead). The challenges/puzzles are well thought out, the visuals are smooth and spot on, and it's generally really fun to play! Well done! Except... The controls in general work fine, left thumb moves the character- no problems there. The right thumb selects jump, electrify, and "let go" from the on screen buttons. Additionally, touching outside of the buttons with your right thumb lets you point the gun or levitate. So far so good, except they're often intermittent (or too easy to miss). I've gone through some levels 20 times, staring at the jump button when I hit it, only to have the game NOT jump, I die and I have to try again. Same goes with levitate/shoot. Frequently I found myself in a time critical situation where I need to levitate something, only to shoot it multiple times... and again, it causes me to die and start the section again. Which wouldn't be so bad except the sections are frequently hard, long, and time critical, and a single missed jump sends you back to the beginning of the section. Ouch. A handful of times, on the final puzzle, the game would crash to a black screen when I died, requiring a force close. It's such an amazing game, but the actual play on the iPhone occasionally made it frustrating... fix the right thumb game controls, and it's 5 stars all the way. Otherwise, you'll need a lot of patience to get through it. ### 4/5 — Nice puzzler *2016-11-10, version 1.0.5* 👍😎🎮😊 ### 2/5 — Bad level design *2016-10-02, version 1.0.5* Really good game and concept, except I have lost patience with one part at a boss that is designed so poorly. So frustrating that I am deleting the game. ### 2/5 — Unresponsive *2016-09-16, version 1.0.5* Albert and Otto is a challenging artistic game. However, the challenging part quickly turns into frustration due to slow and unresponsive controls even on a new iPad. Good support from the developers but the control issue really detract from persevering on in this game. ### 3/5 — Great game *2016-08-26* I love this game, however, I can't seem to beat the first boss. The robot's laser seems to move to fast for Albert to have time to evade it. I may just not be going about it the right way, but I still think the laser is moving a bit too fast. ### 3/5 — Fun, but be ready to struggle *2016-08-25* I have had fun playing this game (mostly), it is attractive, and they create a lot of sympathy for the main character(s). It took me reading about it to realize the time/setting, but that's not really important. The downside is that the pacing is off - for the most part, it is an unrelenting series of situations that require repeated (repeated) attempts and quite a lot of luck to pass through. The end result is that some sections are very frustrating and can get boring. Part of this problem is the controls, - the creators have fallen prey to the problems of the iPad paradigm: too many buttons, button placement off, accuracy not easily controlled, - that sort of thing. Also, despite what sounds like a lot of post-release work, there are still occasions where the controls don't work as intended. (The Fishy Fishy section being the prime example.) Still, there is an attractiveness to it that draws the player in, and overall I think it's worth the challenge. ### 3/5 — Too many issues *2016-08-24, version 1.0.4* Cool looking game but the controls don't work very well and there are lots of bugs. In fact I was just at the big boss at the end and was sent back multiple chapters for no discernible reason. I now have to replay about 30 mins of game to get back to the same spot?! Sort the issues, craft a better story, and lose the 'shards'. There's potential here. ### 3/5 — Fun but frustratingly buggy *2016-08-22, version 1.0.4* This is a fun game. Interesting puzzles and wasn't too hard. Game is quite buggy which is mostly fine until the last boss battle. Needing to do many precise time sensitive actions with a buggy game that may choose to do what it is supposed to do and may just decide to do something completely different is an exercise in frustration. I know how to beat the final boss. I have tried over 40 times with one thing or another bugging out. Instead of levitation a rock you shoot it instead, the aiming decides to go somewhere random in the second you have to fire, Albert just walks into the water for no reason, etc. I really want to finish this game but I seemingly can't. ### 2/5 — Fun, but.... *2016-08-20* Can you or can you not make it so that when I shoot a sheep with levitate, it doesn't die???STILL stuck on the "Here Fishy" chapter...trying to use levitate on the sheep but instead of levitating the sheep, it just shoots them and they die. I can't cross the water unless I can use levitate. After 3 versions with the same issue, I'm done with this game. Deleting. ### 2/5 — Please Fix *2016-08-19, version 1.0.3* My game keeps crashing after intro!! Please fix this because I'm excited to play and would rate it 5 star if it worked!!!! ### 4/5 — Sooooooo close! *2016-08-19, version 1.0.3* Guys, PLEASE fix the bug at the piranha stage. It's impassable until you do. Awesome game other than that 'small' detail ### 3/5 — Bugs *2016-08-19, version 1.0.3* Enjoyable... For about an hour because that's when the bugs start to make this game unplayable. I've been sitting here for about 2 hours shooting at a crate that I'm trying to levitate. The controls are game-breaking. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — WASTE OF TIME AND $ *2016-10-17, version 1.0.5* Horrible controls 😠😡 Pathetic all around 🙄 ### 1/5 — Not worth it *2016-09-11, version 1.0.5* Game continually crashes, game play is so so at best when it does work. ### 1/5 — GOOD BUT... *2016-09-03, version 1.0.4* After days of fun with this game it crashed, now I cant open it neither delete it. 1 Star be cause I cant give less. ### 1/5 — Crashes while loading *2016-08-31* I haven't even been able to play the game, it consistently crashes (iPad mini) while loading the game levels after the intro animation. Cannot recommend until this bug is fixed. Am very glad the creators added "skip" though, so that I don't have to wait through the introduction over and over in order to realize I still can't play the game. Why is it available to dl on this device when it's clearly not compatible?? **Developer response:** Hi there! we have fixed the issues, hope you get a chance to try it again! ### 1/5 — Well done about the update for Sheep Levitation and Otto Dropsies! *2016-08-20, version 1.0.4* Fabulous news about the update! Shame, the mini bus users are unable to see said updates, as their mini buses still continue to crash!! Well done!!! ### 1/5 — Ripped off *2016-08-19, version 1.0.3* The game crashes before I can begin to play it, I am feeling ripped off. ### 1/5 — Unfinished game *2016-08-18, version 1.0.3* The controls need sorting out (levitation/gunfire). I'm glad other people are having this issue, I thought I was going mental ### 1/5 — Crashing after intro *2016-08-14, version 1.0.3* Can't play due to crashing after intro on my iPad mini. Please fix as I am excited to play. ### 1/5 — IMini Pad myrna 912@ *2016-08-14, version 1.0.3* I regret spending a dollar. You have to fix the game. My iPad mini crashes every time I open the game. ### 1/5 — Rubbish *2016-08-14, version 1.0.3* Has not opened once on my iPad, even after the recent update. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Really fun *2019-01-27, version 1.1.2* I hope that you make a second game because I loved the first one 😀👍🤘 ### 5/5 — Crashes :( no more :) *2017-11-20, version 1.1.2* I have played the game now and it is great :) Super good job on it and I apologise for the bad review I made before ### 5/5 — Love this game *2017-10-20* 5 stars ✨ ### 5/5 — JohnT *2017-03-30* Great update, love the new art and finally I was able to complete the game. It took some time but thanks to the creators. Would recommend 8/10 **Developer response:** Thank you for the support! ### 5/5 — Great game.👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽 *2016-10-24, version 1.0.5* Thoroughly enjoyed this game. It is mentally stimulating. Can't wait for the continuation. ### 5/5 — Wonderful game *2016-10-16, version 1.0.5* Just finished...last level took some patience - excellent game which I would definitely recommend - no issues with the controls ### 5/5 — Filled with anticipation! *2016-08-31, version 1.0.4* Absolutely amazing game! Love the gameplay and the story was well, to be fair... Fantastic! I am unbelievably excited for the sequel! (So it better come out soon haha!) Well done guys! ### 5/5 — Interesting gameboy style strategy game *2016-08-19* I am personally not a hard core gamer. But I do like the occasional app to entertain me. I downloaded this on a whim and was immediately impressed. I love the graphics and the neat story line on saving his sister. I think it's great that he can obtain certain abilities. And most of all I really liked that everything was based off of strategy and memory. This game really makes you think. I played this game non stop in four days. It was so addicting, I couldn't put it down. I only wish there were more levels. I did not have issues with lag on my iPhone 6. My one issue in my first round of playing was that since I don't play video games I had to get use to the controls; however, once I did, it was like playing a gameboy. I deleted it after to create space on my phone, but then I saw there was an update and was hoping for more levels. After my second time beating, I really do enjoy this game and hope that there is a worthy conclusion to this story. ### 5/5 — Amazing *2016-08-16, version 1.0.3* All the bad reviews are saying that it is crashing. It's not the creators fault you have an old iPad! If you have a a good iPad then you should definitely 100% no doubt buy this app! It does say to be continued and that annoyed me a little bit but this is such a truly amazing game and it was worth every cent and more! ### 5/5 — Awesome game!!! *2016-08-11, version 1.0.2* The graphics are a little like limbo...but that aside, it's a great puzzler with puzzles that are difficult without being impossible. My only gripe... Just as I was getting right into it, it finished and now I have to wait for part 2 :( need part two please 😜 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
