### 5/5 — So much fun

*2021-08-03, version 1.0.3*

Super cool game hope there are more update it’s really fun great work 😁

### 5/5 — Super fun!

*2021-04-17, version 1.0.3*

I’ve been playing this game for a while as a beta tester and I’m so happy that it’s finally coming out! I’ve loved playing it, the controls and visuals are so  great and intuitive.

### 4/5 — Very cool idea, more things added tho

*2021-03-15, version 1.0.3*

I think this game is super cool but It gets very bland quick. I would like to see you having to go on top of stuff like cars or having to slide through lasers and I would also want to be able to get faster as the game continues. Then it would be addicting

### 5/5 — AWESOMEEE

*2021-03-11, version 1.0.2*

I LOVE THIS GAME
I found it from tiktok and love it.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2021-03-05, version 1.0.2*

It just doesn’t work just a black screen

**Developer response:** Could you let us know what device you’re using and what version of iOS you are running? You can email us at twotimestudios@gmail.com Hopefully we can resolve this issue!

### 1/5 — Glitchy/Terrible

*2021-03-04, version 1.0.2*

Despite following the correct motions, the game lags and mostly never does what I am attempting to do. The graphics are basic, but expected for a fresh release. I followed this dude on TikTok with high hopes, but that hope has been shattered. This is not a Star Wars type game, it’s a ripoff of games like temple run and subway surfer but with ✨sci fi✨. Don’t download it if you can get glitches, lag, and terrible graphics style.

**Developer response:** We never claimed it was a Star Wars type game. It's actually more cyberpunk inspired. And while it is an infinite runner there are a lot of mechanics to differentiate it from other popular runners. 

Regarding lag or input delay, it is possible that on older devices (iPads specifically) it could run slower. While the game is available for iPad, it is primarily optimized for the iPhone. We included a settings option in the game which lowers graphical quality in order to improve input / battery performance, which should help on older devices.

### 5/5 — 10/10

*2021-03-01, version 1.0.2*

Best game of 2021, gives flappy bird a run for its money!

### 5/5 — This app changed my life

*2021-03-01, version 1.0.2*

Ever since I started playing this game, my life has come together.  I graduated from Harvard with a 5.6 GPA. Vanessa hudgens slid into my dm’s after I posted my high score and now we play together. Each time I earn in game cash I also earn that same amount in real life. this app is a game changer.

### 5/5 — I’m an addict

*2021-03-01, version 1.0.2*

I’ve been playing Blade of Light non-stop since the release. I’ve gone days without sleep. I’ve even got the main hero tattooed on my rear cheeks. I can’t stop. My fiancé has threatened to admit me to a rehab facility. I don’t care. All I need is wifi and a phone and I’ll be fine.

### 5/5 — The Best GAME

*2021-03-01, version 1.0.1*

This game is literally so fun and addicting! Can’t wait to find “Big Guy”. A must download for sure.
