Screen went dark and had to restart. Buggy. ### 3/5 — Really want to love this game *2024-11-22, version 2.2.0* The controls are wonky. I would rather have a left/right button on one side and up down on another. The slide on screen is really hard to play. ### 4/5 — Très bien *2024-05-08* L’esprit est très fidèle à la version originale qui tournait sur nos Atari de boomer. La jouabilité est un peu moins bonne à cause de l’écran tactile… nos joysticks de boomer c’était mieux. De toutes façons, tout était mieux avant. Nous on savait faire des jeux, avant…😀. C’est du second degré, je précise. ### 2/5 — Bonne expérience de jeu mais dlc cher… *2023-06-09* Superbe graphiques pas mal de personnages évolutifs mais dlc un peut cher en plus du jeu payant premium… je pensais avoir un jeu complet après avoir payer le premium mais dlc en plus payant un peut trop cher à mon goût… de plus que le service client ne réponds jamais. Il y a un bug dans "Classiques Remixés" la porte de sortie ne s’ouvre pas après avoir eu toutes les pièces même avec le X2 et le service clientèle ne réponds jamais… très mauvais suivis. Pas de mises à jours… Bouton Facebook présent mais impossible de ce connecter… Je considère que cette application est laissé à l’abandon par son créateur… c’est dommage. ### 4/5 — Level *2022-02-19, version 2.2.0* Been looking for more levels for a while now… ### 4/5 — Eacshi *2022-01-24, version 2.2.0* Awesome! Takes me back to the 90s 😊 ### 5/5 — Bolder Dash *2021-09-24, version 2.2.0* Great Game Reminds Me Of The Old Days Of The NES Game But With Better Graphics Good Work 👍 ### 5/5 — Merci *2021-08-10* Merci de me permettre de jouer sur ce jeu que j'adorais jouer sur mon ordinateur Amstrad à la fin des années 80. C'est sûr que ça fait bizarre de voir maintenant un graphisme moderne et en 3D mais le concept du jeu est bel et bien le même et je suis trop content :-) ### 5/5 — Super *2021-07-14* Fast wie in alten Zeiten Spaßfaktor Top🤪 ### 5/5 — Top *2021-03-27* Ma mère y jouait quand elle était petite c’est à moi maintenant de faire de même. ### 5/5 — Still as addictive as the original *2021-02-22, version 2.2.0* I played the original when it came out years ago and I lost many hours of my youth to it. I am pleased to say this is just as addictive as the original. Awesome! ### 2/5 — Not a patch on the original *2021-02-16, version 2.2.0* Looks like it’s going to be hard to proceed without spending money Original was more thought provoking rather than running about daft trying to beat the timer ### 5/5 — Nostalgia 👧🏼 *2021-01-29, version 2.2.0* Takes me back to being a ten yr old girl playing this and bomb jack...wow those were the days! This is a great update but I'd love the option of getting the original version too for a better walk down memory lane! Edit:so there’s now the original versions on offer! Really impressive, this game has aged so well new and old alike, love you Boulder dash! ### 5/5 — Well done *2020-11-20, version 2.2.0* Simple and fun. Love that the classic levels are available. Surprised that my muscle memory could recall how to solve the old levels. Really need the Boulder Dash II levels! ### 3/5 — Needs Apple Account support *2020-10-14, version 2.2.0* Great game, great memories. I dont have a Facebook account any more and can’t play because of this. The game needs updated to take advantage of the Apple account facility where we can log in with Apple credentials instead of Facebook. Other than that, it’s a solid game. 👍 5 stars if you include Apple accounts. ### 4/5 — die beste Umsetzung des Klassikers... *2020-09-28* ...die ich bislang gesehen habe. Leider wird man zum Start im Tutorial genötigt Powerups zu benutzen (auf jeden Fall bekomme ich es nicht anders hin), die einen später fehlen können. Die Werbung nervt extrem, aber das ist nun mal so bei jeder kostenfreien Version, kein Entwickler kann und will ohne Einkünfte leben. Ich gebe sehr selten Geld für Spiele aus, aber die 4,49€ waren es definitiv wert um die Süchte meiner Jugend wieder zu wecken. Damals habe ich alle Level und einige Joysticks auf dem Atari geschafft 😜 Ärgerlich ist, dass ich nach dem Durchspielen aller Level der ersten beiden Welten nur 30 Goldbarren gesammelt habe (obwohl ich keine eingesetzt habe), aber 95 zum Freischalten der nächsten Welt benötige. Also muss ich entweder schon wieder Geld einwerfen oder recht oft alle verfügbaren Level durchspielen und/oder alle 2 Stunden das Glücksrad drehen. Das führt in der Bewertung durch mich leider zum Verlust von 2 Sternen für das Spiel, insbesondere mit Blick auf die Kosten der weiteren Welten. Update: Inzwischen sind die 8 verfügbaren Welten alle mit 60/60 Sternen gelöst. Keine Welt wurde gekauft, sondern alle frei gespielt! Etwa 10% der Höhlen bekommt man nur mit Powerups auf 3 Sterne gelöst, aber die erspielt man sich bzw. ‚kauft‘ sie mit dem erspielten Gold. Nun kann man auch mal wieder 2,29€ für eine neue Welt ausgeben 😏 Update auf 4 Sterne 👍 ### 5/5 — Childhood memories *2020-08-09, version 2.2.0* This game will bring you right back seated at the old amstrad. Highly addictive and keeps you going back to achieve those 3 stars and collecting more treasure. Well done. I can’t wait for more levels!! ### 5/5 — Nice playable game *2020-08-09, version 2.2.0* Nice intro to get started. Nicely done old classic but with modern minecraft- esque graphics . Plays very well! ### 4/5 — Niveaux payants *2020-07-31* Bonjour, je ne sais pas si quelqu’un lit encore les avis des utilisateurs mais je voulais savoir s’il est possible de récupérer les niveaux additionnels payants que j’ai perdu après un plantage de mon iPad. Par avance merci ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Only ads *2022-01-30, version 2.2.0* Just a trick app to make you watch tedious video ads, wasting your time. ### 1/5 — This game is fun but hard *2019-08-11, version 2.2.0* I’m not so sure I like it so I recomand to bye stuff but most times parents will not do that . I gust played it now I hate it it is a bad game for a person that loves most games. ### 1/5 — Bolder Dash - Not *2018-05-08, version 2.2.0* I was happy when I saw Bolder Dash. But that happiness at playing an oldie was “dashed.” Not even the same game. Not even close. Why change a good game. I have never written a bad review but this game deserves a one star. If you expect to find Bolder Dash don’t look here. ### 1/5 — How to actually play? *2017-12-27, version 2.0.92* App is so overloaded with screens and ads and this and that that it’s impossible to figure out how to actually play? Spent 15 minutes trying to figure out how to ply without success. ### 1/5 — Get rid of the FREE red sash on the title! *2014-11-27, version 1.1.5* It's hideous! ### 1/5 — Wanted to like it *2014-10-26, version 1.1.1* I really did...the controls were just too sluggish. ### 1/5 — Poor *2014-10-18, version 1.1.1* Depends on IAP too much ### 1/5 — Crash *2014-10-18, version 1.1.1* My app keeps crashing help ### 1/5 — I loved this game as a kid! *2014-10-18, version 1.1.1* But you went and put s&@ty in app purchases in the game, which makes it evil. Shame, would have loved buying and playing a full game. Now... no money for you! Please, everyone, speak with your wallet against IAPs. ### 1/5 — MiFi support badly done *2014-10-17, version 1.1.1* Sadly if you're interested in this games mifi support you're going to be disappointed. It's so badly done, with pretty much just in game directional controls implemented. All game menus and special item access needs you to still tap the screen, making the external controller more awkward to play the game with than without. This hasn't been addressed with the patch. And the IAPs are really nasty so beware...! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Boulder Dash *2025-11-26* Sehr cooles Spiel, auch wenn viele Level mit voller Sternwertung nur mit Hilfsmitteln machbar sind. Diese muss man entweder kaufen oder durch Werbung “erarbeiten“… ### 5/5 — Boulder dash *2025-08-09, version 2.2.0* Great variety of puzzles and some can be quite challenging. I play this game several times per week. ### 5/5 — Boulder dash vibes *2024-12-10* I love it! ### 5/5 — THIS GAME IS FREAKIN' AWESOME! *2023-07-13, version 2.2.0* I recently got into the Boulder Dash series and it was pretty freakin' sweet! Can you add a level editor in the game maybe? ### 5/5 — Loved the original *2023-05-30, version 2.2.0* Loved the original, love this version more. Super graphics, Same strategy, better layout, better tools. I was addicted then and I am now ### 5/5 — Nicht nur das alte Spiel im neuen Kleid. *2023-04-25* Diamanten sammeln = Suchtfaktor ### 5/5 — Mad old timer. *2023-01-11, version 2.2.0* Brilliant to find one of 5e old games revived. Not much difference apart from the amazing graphics. 😃 ### 5/5 — جميله وممتعه *2022-10-25, version 2.2.0* انصح بها ### 5/5 — Classic *2022-10-10, version 2.2.0* Luv it! The classic/epic game re-done. Much better than but still with all the charm of the original. This is one of my favorite apps, easily. Thanks! ### 5/5 — Tolle Mischung aus Rätsel, Strategie und Action *2021-11-10* Eine gelungene Neuinterpretation des genialen Klassikers Boulder Dash. Mich würde es freuen, wenn es auch die Möglichkeit gäbe, die Original Level aus den 80er Jahren C64 Version spielen zu können, sofern lizenzrechtlich möglich. Ein Construction Kit Level Editor wäre ebenfalls eine wunderbare Ergänzung. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
