### 2/5 — Glitchy laggy

*2022-01-14, version 2.1*

It’s very laggy and the corner buttons are cut off as if my screen doesn’t fit the whole game and it’s really inconvenient when trying to pause or restart. iPhone 13 iOS 15.1.1

### 4/5 — Needs a few bug fixes

*2021-10-03, version 2.1*

Worked perfectly until i ran it on my iPhone XR with iOS 15. It seems to be glitchy now. Is any there any way you guys can fix that?

### 2/5 — iPhone 11, iOS 14....

*2021-05-25, version 2.1*

The game lags. BAD. The slowdown just.... makes it almost impossible to play. I hope it can be optimized, though, considering how long it’s been out now, I’m not holding my breath.

I do regret my purchase.

### 4/5 — Nice, but...

*2021-03-31, version 2.1*

Perfect game, but, why only one orientation?)  I can’t play this on mfi controller because of that.

### 3/5 — Used to be great...

*2021-01-30, version 2.1*

But it’s pretty laggy on the newest iPhone11

### 5/5 — Shield mode

*2020-01-13*

Absolutely amazing visuals, impeccable attention to detail and a soundtrack to match

### 2/5 — Mise à jour Apple TV pour manette nimbus

*2019-04-20*

Attention difficilement jouable sur Apple TV ..manette nimbus non reconnue pour les déplacements et tir ..mise à jour urgente

### 5/5 — More forgiving than it lets on

*2018-09-05, version 2.1*

I almost didn’t even buy this game. I was very wrong to second guess myself. 

Restarts very quickly after you die. You learn from your mistakes and quickly see how the level can be beat. To be fair, most of the game I had fewer than 10 deaths per level. It jumped up in the second section to fewer than 20. In the final 25 levels, I averaged around 50, and even hit over 200 deaths on level 30 of the final section (each section has 41 levels). It gets really tough, but practice makes perfect. It makes it incredibly satisfying to beat. I probably won’t go back and play marathon mode, but it was easily worth the price.

### 5/5 — Mega !!!

*2018-07-17*

Gameplay, Grafik und Soundtrack sehr cool.

### 5/5 — Top Gun!!!!!!

*2018-06-17*

Ein echter Kracher! Schwer zu beschreiben was in diesem Game
so alles ab geht..es kracht und rummst ordentlich an allen Ecken
und Enden und bleibt doch meist optimal spielbar! Erinnert mich
an einen Mix aus Super Meat Boy und Jetpack Joyride..wer diese beiden Spiele mag sollte zugreifen!

### 5/5 — Hypertension

*2018-03-10*

Hyper nerveux 
Très difficile 
Excellente jouabilité 
Bande son...terrible

### 5/5 — still good still tough

*2018-02-04, version 2.1*

This is a fantastic challenging game. I ask the devs to consider just one thing. Option to switch left and right tap controls. Some might might prefer the controls switched. I do. My right thumb would be better at maintaining the continuous tapping that would be required to fly while maintaining specific lift height. My left thumb doesn't have the stamina and loses control. Just a suggestion. 

BTW The review claiming the game doesn't auto rotate is strange. The screen rotates just fine on my ipad and iPhone. It always flips immediately without lag every time.

### 5/5 — Один из лучших платформеров на телефоне

*2018-01-30*

Сбалансированно сложный, на самых последних уровнях сложность прогрессирует геометрически. The End потребовал 500 попыток 😅

### 4/5 — BRING THE ORIGINAL APP ICON BACK

*2018-01-14, version 2.1*

Nice retro style arcade game, I really enjoyed playing it, but I really don’t like the new app icon! The original was so much better, visually in every way. I deleted the game purely because of the change which is a real shame, but as a graphic designer I can’t stand ugly icons. Please bring the original back and get 5 stars

### 5/5 — Fun for a long time.

*2018-01-06, version 2.1*

I’ve put lots and lots of hours into this game.  It’s fun and very rewarding. Great soundtrack too!  Editor’s Choice is well deserved!

I wouldn’t listen to Apple’s Editor’s Choice *gameplay* advice though... They suggest holding down the right side of your device screen so that you constantly shoot, which is only beneficial in certain situations.  Other times it’ll just get you killed really fast.

Why?  Usually, shooting continuously distracts me from the flight path I need to take, so it’s better to just focus on flying.  Other people might have better focus than me, so that might not apply.  But sometimes shooting too much will put you directly in danger, and that’s true for any player.  Like when you need to leave barriers intact until the last second, or when you need to balance a spinner by shooting it the right amount, or when you don’t want to dislodge a thousand saw blades in front of your face!

Shooting continuously is just one of the many skills/tactics you’ll need to exercise to beat this game.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Not able to play without controller support enabled.

*2026-05-18, version 2.1*

Please add controller support.

### 1/5 — Huge frame drops

*2021-10-03*

There are frame drops and lags in every level of this game (obs: I play this on an IPHONE 11 pro).

### 1/5 — Great game let down by bad support.

*2021-02-05, version 2.1*

Great game but it hasn’t been updated in over three years. The game isn’t optimised on current devices and software, so it is very laggy and unplayable, especially on the harder levels.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work on the XS

*2019-03-28, version 2.1*

The game fails to load and crashes every time

### 1/5 — Rungunjumpgun

*2018-01-14, version 2.1*

Don’t waste your time and your money with this game

### 1/5 — No screen rotate...

*2018-01-04, version 2.1*

The screen is locked and does not autorotate. There does not appear to be any setting to flip it around. 

So rather than the iPhone X notch being on the left side of the screen, behind your character, it is on the right side, in front of your character. 

This also results in the game playing upside down if you use an iPad sitting propped up by a Smart Cover. 

The game seems pretty awesome, but lack of autorotate is a deal breaker.

### 1/5 — Poo

*2017-12-25, version 2.0*

Downloaded it after paying and the game doesn't even work online or off. Waste of money

### 1/5 — Graphics cause motion sickness

*2017-01-20, version 1.0.1*

I rarely write reviews but this game gave me horrible nausea and a headache. I couldn't tolerate more than 3 minutes of playing. There are bright flashing lights and rapid color changes that caused really bad motion sickness.

### 1/5 — Such a shame.

*2016-12-13, version 1.0.1*

When the game was released, it would load upside-down. You had to turn over your device to play, covering the speaker (on an iPhone)!

The first update was supposed to correct the orientation issue, but instead the game now just crashes on launch.

### 1/5 — Won't work

*2016-11-20, version 1.0.1*

Downloaded app on iPhone 7 current OS, won't even open.

### 5/5 — Underrated Gem

*2023-12-05, version 2.1*

This game truly is an underrated gem. Both the soundtrack and art style are fantastic, along with the accompanying artwork by Niklas Åkerblad. Gameplay is challenging and addictive, with levels becoming more difficult allowing progression to feel rewarding and fair. The game is definitely best experienced on PC given the keyboard controls however playing on a mobile device is still great.

### 5/5 — 比之前简单了

*2023-11-18, version 2.1*

真的，我之前在安卓玩的时候脆皮的很一碰就死，而且要收集的原子很多，每个关我都是几百次几百次地死，现在碰两次才死属实友好了很多很多，而且收集的原子数也少了，基本无痛游戏。
话说难的时候是真的难的很变态啊……我上个手机的屏幕就是大半夜打这个咬碎的（。

### 5/5 — 太棒了

*2022-08-05, version 2.1*

非常优秀的作品，非常欣赏游戏内的画面风格和配乐以及角色设计等等，可惜只有关卡，更喜欢可以通过收集金币升级或者购买更强力角色的游戏，期待能看到更多画面和这个游戏一样优秀的，能让我沉迷其中的作品，支持你们

### 5/5 — Best game

*2022-07-17, version 2.1*

Like super meat boy

### 5/5 — Super

*2021-11-17, version 2.1*

Побольше бы таких игр

### 5/5 — Get it.

*2021-04-19, version 2.1*

Awesome game.

Please add gamepad support.

### 5/5 — очень советую!!

*2021-03-13*

на удивление мало оценок лучшему раннеру в App store. классные уровни (где как уже писали до меня в конце сложность просто сумасшедшая), визуальный стиль очень привлекательный, присутствует сюжетная линия и просто невероятно крутая музыка, которая вообще не приелась за год (я сейчас не шучу) игры. раз за разом я переигрываю игру, возвращаюсь в уровни, которые не мог пройти ранее и каждый раз игра приносит мне колоссальное удовольствие.
великолепная игра. даже странно, что я не писал отзыв ранее.
не помню за сколько приобрёл эту игру, но каждый рубль она мне вернула хорошо проведённым в ней временем.

### 5/5 — Great Music

*2020-11-30, version 2.1*

Really enjoy these songs with a game attached

### 5/5 — Л

*2020-04-09, version 2.1*

Чи можу я повернути гроші? Купив випадково:))

### 5/5 — Thank you sir, may I have another.

*2020-03-02, version 2.1*

Great game! I play it on my Apple Tv using the xbox one controller and it’s beautiful and smooth. Tough like Super meat boy. Great art, characters, and music like hot line Miami. For 3 dollars I could not be happier, hope to see more like this in the future!
