### 5/5 — Buy once play forever

*2026-08-10, version 1.8.1*

This is a great example of how a game can be good of giving you exactly the experience you expect. 
Relaxing, easy to get into. 
And most importantly no pay to play/win. 
I’m very happy that at first they had a small demo version and that was enough for me to buy both games with no questions. 

Please make more games with the same philosophy. 
You will always have me as customer if you do this. 
Thank you for bringing us quality customer experience.

### 5/5 — The person who made this game, please make different maps OK, please

*2026-07-26, version 1.8.1*

### 5/5 — Apsolute classic

*2026-07-18, version 1.8.1*

Just fun. Always works

### 5/5 — Amazing quality game

*2026-07-04, version 1.8.1*

I used to play this years ago for free and wanted to try again, and honestly I'm glad they chose to make us pay instead of resorting to constant ads and annoying cash grab mechanics like all the other mobile games. It's an amazing game and it's well worth the small price ❤️

### 5/5 — Stupid feather

*2026-06-05, version 1.8.1*

That stupid feather screws me over more than it helps me

### 1/5 — Horrible game

*2026-06-04, version 1.8.1*

The game is legit as the title says. Bugs galore, shut downs, you name it. I would like a refund d please and thank you. I would’ve gave it 0 stars.

### 5/5 — Это шедевр!

*2026-04-08, version 1.8.1*

Помню играл в эту игру в 2016 году, мне она показалась очень даже хорошей. Заходя в нее, в 2026 году, расслабиться в бесконечном режиме, я считаю ее шедевром. Очень печально, что сейчас не сильно в моде мобильные сингл плеер игры. Имея представление как делаются игры, я могу сказать, что исполнение на высшем уровне. Графическая составляющая на высшем уровне, музыка тоже. Сам геймплей тоже очень хорош, что уж говорить, есть даже смена анимации персонажа в зависимости от угла наклона горки. Такие игры вдохновили меня сделать собственную игру. Спасибо разработчикам))

### 1/5 — 소리안나요

*2026-03-21, version 1.8.1*

소리가안나요 고쳐주세여ㅕ여ㅗ오오오오오ㅗ오ㅗ오
환불해주시던가여

### 1/5 — Ripped Off Again

*2026-03-03, version 1.8.1*

I got over 78,000 and it failed to bump me up to the next level player AGAIN. This is the third time. I have a picture of it!! I want my reward!!

### 1/5 — This game suck I regret buying it

*2026-02-21, version 1.8.1*

So it is boring
