### 5/5 — Annual replay

*2026-04-10, version 1.00*

Elements of Zelda: A Link to the Past, Mario Bros 2, and Super Metroid come together really well here. I replay this game every year at the beach.

### 3/5 — Pretty Good

*2026-02-28, version 1.00*

I like the nonlinear exploration, the combat at least in the first half is pretty easy as long as you don’t get hit (if you get hit at all before you upgrade yourself you die instantly). Requiring consumables for exploration is annoying when everything resets but you don’t get the consumables back.

There is one nasty bug that’s caused me to die a couple times. I’m not sure what’s causing it, but occasionally when I’m jumping to the right I appear to hit an invisible wall, even though there’s nothing there. If I try to get past that point other times, it works. For example one time in the Flame’s room I jump between the platforms like normal but one random time I stop in midair and fall into lava. It’s very intermittent but can easily cause death so it’s pretty annoying. If they fix that I’d increase the rating.

### 5/5 — Amazing and easy to play !

*2025-08-02, version 1.00*

Best money you’ll ever spend on a game . It’s easy to play and takes a long time to finish . Literally one of the best games I’ve ever bought. To the developer , it’s a shame there’s not sequels .

### 5/5 — fun game

*2024-02-09, version 1.00*

worth the money, perfect for when you’re taking a dump or waiting in line for the doctor :)

### 5/5 — Compact and interesting

*2023-05-03, version 1.00*

It is a small but great game. It is quite like Donut Games' another product, Traps n Gemstones.

Actually I got nostalgic when replaying T n G. So the first time I played Birk's Adventure, I was thinking "it is highly likely I am going to miss this moment". 

Indeed, the game led me to endless aftertastes. The last key is so hard to find. I traced all possibilities until finding clues.

I love Donut Games. Thanks for launching games continuously.

### 5/5 — Fun afternoon game

*2023-05-01, version 1.00*

If you want to play something like treasure adventure world or side scrolling Zelda of sorts, look no further. I completed this game in 4 hours, had quite a fun time. An open world with some dungeons to explore. Boss fights are way too easy and predictable. But overall, an awesome game.

### 5/5 — great game very fun

*2023-04-13, version 1.00*

Fun platformer, lots to explore, made well, worth the money, responsive developers

### 5/5 — Donut Games and me

*2022-12-06, version 1.00*

Though I did not play this yet, I recently switched to an iPhone from droid. I always had ipads and iPod touches so having android for a phone was like having SNES and Genesis. Now that I got an iMac, I figured switch my phones would make everything easier in life when it comes to syncing up my devices and the first games I put on here was the whole donut collection. I got out of playing these games so I left off at game 34 Monkey ninja and I just bought/downloaded all the games after that and caught up. I have been on a rogue lite kick on the consoles so I’m very excited to play this. Donut games are always quality and their numbering gimmick was what first made me fall for them. I love that they did that and as a collector game 10 missing is killing me!!! I forgot what it was called but remember it was a farming game like, frannies farm or something. I never really played that one but because I wanted all my numbers in a row I bought it. What happened to that game?!? The mystery of the 10th donut game will become a thing of legend pppfffttt… but just wanted to put these devs over. I’ve seen them come and go from donut to chillingo, I miss doodle army. 2000 paid apps I had close to when iPod touch 2nd gen was out. Now, most of them games are either gone or not supported and won’t even run. Donut still stands strong. Top phone game makers imo. Quick hits and long play donut is king. Edit: GAH-LEE your games are traaaamendous. Just love everything about them from the first time u play and see the little tutorial feels, to the colors and memories of when Retina display first came out in gen 4 touch PLUS you guys never went freemium. The donut game whisper followed by the games theme noise and jingle. Love how you name all your levels creatively. That all doesn’t go un-noticed. Everything about your company is much appreciated from a 37 year old avid gamer that had his dads Atari stick in his hand before he got his own Nintendo…. Hey beavis you said his Atari stick

### 4/5 — Schön aber etwas monoton

*2022-11-03, version 1.00*

An sich ist das Spiel wirklich hübsch. Die Retrografik erfreut das Auge, es kommt Abenteuergefühl auf, man gewinnt an Fähigkeiten und Gegenständen, witzige Gegner, Rätsel. Aber…
leider erwartet man irgendwann den Wechsel der Welt, in der man sich bewegt. Eine neue Färbung. Das passiert leider nicht. Es ist immer die selbe Welt in der man unterschiedliche Türen auskundschaftet. Dadurch wird das Spiel irgendwann monoton. Der Wunsch einer gründlich neuen Begebenheit bleibt offen. Ich würde Teil 2 spielen, dann aber mit mehr Welten.

### 5/5 — A good adventure

*2022-05-27, version 1.00*

Works with controllers. Good metroidvania type game. Overall a fun game from start to finish.
