Pls make it better that is all ### 5/5 — please add this game back🙏🙏 *2026-08-05, version 1.2.2* Please add bendy in nightmare run back i really want to play it i used to have it and now you removed it please add it back🙏🙏🙏 ### 4/5 — CH4 bug *2026-07-30, version 1.2.2* The game is fun BUT ch 4 on the butcher gang part once you pull the lever the door doesn’t open is there any way to open the door pls ### 5/5 — Michael olise *2026-07-17* Michael olise... ### 5/5 — Why Bendy and the ink machine is so good *2026-07-16, version 1.2.2* The characters are so cool. The gameplay is so cool is the best game ever ### 3/5 — Pretty good *2026-07-01, version 1.2.2* It is fun but it won’t let me play chapter 3 so I’ll give it a three star ### 5/5 — Great game *2026-06-27, version 1.2.2* I have played this game for about 2000 hours (mainly free time) and had no problem story wise there are some bugs but most are patched and the rest are really hard to get.all in all this has and will be my favorite game ### 5/5 — This game is awesome and nostalgic! *2026-06-15, version 1.2.2* I’ve played bendy since 2019 and I love it! And I’m waiting for bendy 3! (If it ever comes out) ### 5/5 — Awesome game,bendy rules!!! *2026-06-05* It’s a complicated,but fun and creepy game.It is kinda like finishing a puzzle.However,sometimes there was a key needed for Sammy Lawrence’s closet and at first I couldn’t grab it and then the next day when I played it’s gone.Please do fix them but,anything else?Peak.great game! ### 5/5 — SO AMAZING *2026-05-28, version 1.2.2* dear joey drew studios,i love the game,it keeps me on my toes! I love boris,alice is genuinely cool,and i find sammy to be hilarious. BUT PLEASE,WHY NOT FNAF COLLAB!!! ### 4/5 — I LOVE BENDY *2026-05-28, version 1.2.2* So I’ve been apart of the bendy fandom since I was 4. This experience was so amazing because when I was little I used to and still do watch videos on this game. I know everything! The lore, when the game takes place, etc. Now that I actually get to play this game is a game changer for me. I’ve beat the game a thousand times and maybe a thousand more. I’m gonna get BATDR soon. I’m into other stuff like Poppy Playtime, but sorry Mob Entertainment, Bendy is way better and always will be! ### 5/5 — Amazing! *2026-05-25, version 1.2.2* For a mobile game, I expected it to be very laggy. But it runs smoothly with no ads and little to no lag. I was surprised to hear voice acting and thought that the atmosphere was so beautiful. My favorite character is probably Henry, and I want to know more about him. Overall, this is an amazing game with beautiful story building and graphics. Can I get an amen? ### 5/5 — Best game ever *2026-05-17, version 1.2.2* One thing I like about this game is all the chapters were good except two chapters. I feel like I could’ve used some upgrades like chapter 5 was very very hard no offence though and also chapter 4 the Boris boss fight was like so hard. I feel like they should respond after every phase after phase 3. If you die in phase 3 you will restart to the start of phase 3 but other than that amazing game I can’t wait to play the dark reveal ### 5/5 — VERY, VERY WORTH EVERY PENNY! *2026-05-16, version 1.2.2* I’ve had this game on my phone since 2018 or 2019 or something like that. I have enjoyed every second of this game. Even though the phone graphics are not very good, the art style does all of the heavy lifting. I’m on my 22nd play through of this game. I Remeber it took me a few weeks to be it the first time around. But I’ve grown so fond of it I can sit down and beat it in under 4 hours. Great game! I have bought this game 4 separate times. Once on here. Once on Xbox. Once on PC. And Once on PlayStation. All together I must have beaten this game at least 40 times. Good game! ### 5/5 — ACTUAL PEAK *2026-04-22, version 1.2.2* I’ve beaten this game like 6 times or more and it still hits EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. Overall this game is a 5 out of 5. Download this, NOW ### 5/5 — An amazing under appreciated masterpiece *2026-04-19, version 1.2.2* I have many thoughts on this game so I’ll be reviewing every chapter so my thoughts can be placed in sections! Chapter 1: Moving Pictures This chapter is my favorite and the most scariest one yet! The horror is really the build up of the ink machine and the mystery of what happened after you left is a great introduction to the game! Chapter 2: The Old Song This chapter is less scary than chapter 1, but Sammy Lawrence and the new combat mechanic make this my 2nd favorite chapter! Chapter 3: Rise and Fall This chapter is a mixed one for me. Now I will say I did like how they gave the ink demon more attention in this chapter, but I think the back and forth objectives ruin the momentum in my opinion and the chapter is a bit too long. Chapter 4: Colossal Wonders I will say this chapter is a massive improvement over chapter 3, but I wish we had more time with the searchers because I like their character and I do wish there was more horror moments! Chapter 5: The Last Reel It’s a great finale it has some of the best segments in the entire game, but I wish we had more screentime with the ink demon in this chapter. Overall this is a great game and I highly recommend it to anyone who likes a great mascot horror experience! ### 5/5 — This game is so amazing *2026-04-19, version 1.2.2* I played for less than a minute flipping through the chapter select menu and it is so entertaining I cannot stop playing highly recommend ### 5/5 — I love this Game!!!!!!!!!!!!! *2026-04-11, version 1.2.2* If you play this game you will blow your mind and if you do not play this game I will not be happy because I love horror games and movies ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Great game, terrible port *2026-06-06, version 1.2.2* This needs an update, an overhaul. Shouldn’t feel like a slide show on latest hardware. ### 1/5 — terrible Japanese *2026-04-10* We cant recognize the subjects. PLEASE revise the translation. ### 1/5 — Buns *2026-02-27, version 1.2.2* Can’t crack Alice 😢 ### 1/5 — Please release better ports *2025-12-11, version 1.2.1* This and the new sequel port feel like I’m playing a PS2 game but worse. These new phones and tablets are more than powerful for what graphics settings you’ve set. Please allow us to set our own settings as we’ve paid to play your game. ### 1/5 — 환불 가능합니까? *2025-09-30* 공식 홈페이지에 들어가도 환불 요청이 안됩니다. ### 1/5 — Terrible bug *2025-09-03, version 1.1.4* Awful bug on chapter 3. After collecting 4 ink hearts, it crashed and said I had 5 without letting me collect or deposit them. Not restarting whole chapter over this. Give me a refund. Give me my money back ### 1/5 — Hah funny *2025-08-05, version 1.1.4* Bruh it not scary ### 1/5 — 日本語がひどい *2025-08-01* 日本語がとにかくひどい。文字抜け、文字化け、変な改行、変な言葉…これで日本語対応済みって言うなら金返せ ### 1/5 — A bug in the game *2024-11-21, version 1.1.4* When I tried to finish chapter three but the elevator was not working ### 1/5 — Pls fix this bug *2024-10-19, version 1.1.4* So in chapter 4 there is a bug where it won’t let me respawn. Pls update for bug fixes I love this game and I don’t wanna be waisting money on a game that wont work good. Also when I beated the game and the cutscene of Joey talking to Henry, Joeys eyes were popping out his sockets and moving out his face, and when Henry said “alright Joey I’m here, let’s see if we can find what you wanted me to see” in the cutscene, the screen was black and also, very poor quality. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — ??? *2026-08-31, version 2.1.0* So I’m playing the game with achievement with Game Center and the achievements are not popping up I the top ### 5/5 — They did it *2026-08-29, version 2.1.0* They actually did it, they added achievements, W GAME ### 5/5 — 🖤💛🖤💛 *2026-08-28, version 2.1.0* This is my childhood. ### 5/5 — This game is cool but bendy should lose against Norman because he has abs. *2026-08-28, version 2.1.0* I like this game a lot but there’s a lot of plot holes so it nots as good so my only complaint is Norman should win against bendy in chapter. 4 why does he lose he is so much stronger than the ink demon ok let’s replace the ink demon with Ollie so I also want Norman to have a 10 pack and Ollie should have a 100 pack and bendy should have a 0 pack and Alice bad angel should have -100 abs. ### 5/5 — Console version of this update *2026-08-27, version 2.1.0* I like the update. I was just wondering when will this update that adds the new stuff in the archives and the bug fixes will come for the console port? I was just wondering if there are any plans on bringing this to the console version. ### 5/5 — Chefs kiss *2026-08-21, version 1.2.2* I LOVED this game a long time ago and I saw a vid showing it and I remembered EVERYTHING and immediately came back in awe and I’m so happy I did never quit on this game meatly you made a PEAK game! 👏 ### 5/5 — Honestly an amazing game. *2026-08-20, version 1.2.2* I bought this game for me and a friend and this game was amazing, it was pure adventure and there was some good scares throughout the game so this game definitely deserves a five star for how good it was. ### 5/5 — Best game ever *2026-08-20, version 1.2.2* This game brung back my childhood it was so good ngl the best game ever and I’m going to buy all the rest of the games thank you so much. ### 5/5 — Saying this game is good is B E Y O N D an understatement. *2026-08-15, version 1.2.2* I first started playing this game back in 2019 on my grandmother’s iPad, and I soon fell in love with it, and here we are 7 years later, and it’s still incredible, sure, it may have had it’s ups and downs over the years, but all of that can be excused, because this game series is legitimately a part of me, no joke. Like Susie Campbell said, we’re going places. ### 5/5 — Wow just wow *2026-08-14, version 1.2.2* It’s the best horror game in the world this is a OG game I watched film cartoons like bendy singing and I loved the bendy and the ink mechanic (I think it is the name) I watched it on Aparat and dreamed about having the game but when I didn’t search it on my tablet and now I switched to Apple I buyed the game and I love it --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
