Can I get some assistance over here. ### 4/5 — Can’t buy the game *2018-10-25* Unable to buy the game because it says payment failed every time but still was fun up to level 12 ### 3/5 — Great would buy it won't let me *2018-10-09* Awesome game so far definitely wanted to buy the actual game unfortunately when I try it says payment failed. Not on my end double checked my payment setup and can make purchases in other apps ### 4/5 — Awesome *2016-09-04* The game is fantastic but please make the next levels free and I will rate five stars. ### 4/5 — Super cute *2015-12-18* Easy to play &I the story-line is cute. Only the first 18 stages are free. To go to 60 stages you have to pay $3.99. It *might* be worth the buy if you enjoy simple RPGs like this. ### 4/5 — Good distraction *2015-05-13, version 1.0.0* A very good game if you want something simple and fun. Not incredibly deep or long, but its worth the cash. ### 4/5 — Great game. *2015-05-08* It would be better if there was 1 main village with all of merchants, its kind of annoying having to go back and forth to change skills. I enjoyed the game a lot but it ended too soon. :( Hopefully this game will evolve with future updates. ### 4/5 — Good start *2015-05-07* So I've played through the free trial and am debating buying the game. It's a little high price wise for me for what I'm getting although I do like the animation and the story has been entertaining thus far. It's fairly linear but the simple gameplay is fun and well tuned. Note: Devs please fix the wrapping for story text...having single letters of words jump to the next line is annoying and it's needed for a polished look imo. ### 4/5 — Great Game *2015-05-07* It really should be a five, it's just that I'm too cheap to pay for games, so I won't be playing past the free trial part. However, I did find the free trial part quite fun, and I'd definitely recommend it. Also, it's so rare to find a game like this that still works on the iPad 1 ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Greedy developer waste of time *2021-04-21, version 1.0.4* The game lets you play a little bit but makes it so you have to pay to play the rest if they were gonna do that they should have just made is so that you have to buy it it’s just a waste of time ### 1/5 — What the hell *2018-03-20* Why do we have to pay 3.99 to play the rest of the game that's so stupid what the hell ### 1/5 — Fix the writing. *2015-09-24, version 1.0.1* It's so annoying to read the text in this game. The words cut out wherever, it's ruining the game play for me. ### 1/5 — Needs to authenticate every time app launches *2015-07-11, version 1.0.1* This makes the game unable to play on the go unless you have 3G ### 2/5 — New game modes broke game *2019-10-14* The game is very short, I don’t feel it’s worth the price. Aside from that, I just beat it and the game no longer works. I can’t play any of the new game modes, or even play previous levels without the game crashing. I’m on an 8+ ### 2/5 — Fun, but wasnot worth it. *2019-10-09* Game was too short. Beat it easily and whenever I attempt the new modes the game just crashes. I have an iPhone XS so I doubt it’s my phone that is the problem. ### 2/5 — Can buy *2019-01-19* Great game but every time I try to buy anything it says payment failed ### 2/5 — Not worth it *2018-09-25* The free trial was barely 15 minutes. A shame because I was liking it. ### 2/5 — Interesting game but not enough content *2018-04-20, version 1.0.2* The gameplay only goes till lv 12 before it asks you to pay, but the payment system is broken so you couldn’t pay even if you wanted to. ### 2/5 — Very quick trial *2015-10-24, version 1.0.1* Ended way too soon. Just started getting good with the jumping skill and then the developer's avatar appears and starts asking for money. No thanks. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Gameplay *2019-10-29* This game was great and I thoroughly enjoyed playing it however I would wish to see more gameplay available. It didn’t take too long to beat the game and for 4 dollars I felt kind of disappointed. I loved the game though and would definitely play more if they had more levels or modes! ### 5/5 — Definitely worth a try *2019-08-13* Easy operation, nice cartoons and lovely plot. It's definitely worth a try! ### 5/5 — Payment problems *2019-01-24* The game is great for what it is but, I’m having a problem with paying for the rest of the game. Just keeps saying payment fail. ### 5/5 — Thank you *2018-12-21, version 1.0.3* Really enjoyed the game, even if it’s not finished. Would love to play the full version. Thanks, guys. ### 5/5 — Simply a masterpiece! *2018-04-27* Few titles I've come across offer as much enjoyment out of it's game mechanics, visual storytelling and replayability as Brave John. Especially on app stores! I've found that my most liked features are the magic abilities, which offer excellent tactical decisions in the late game. Whenever you hit a rough spot you can easily tinker with the abilities to suit your play style. This game gets a 10/10 from me. Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised to find a sequel in the console market. ### 5/5 — Excellent Game *2016-01-15* This game is fun. It's well done and has an extended trial so you can decide if you want more without having to pay up front... both things that I value highly in gaming. The thing that really makes this game stand out for me is the story -- specifically, the writing. I very much appreciate the dev's tongue-in-cheek take on all of the otherwise tired tropes of the genre, not to mention his sense of humor (I say 'he' and 'his' because the dev makes an 8-bit cameo at one point and he is most definitely a dude). Without a doubt, this one is worth it. I have one small request... if we purchase a weapon in the game and we later want to return to using that weapon we currently have to actually buy the first weapon again. I'm hoping that this is something that they can fix easily... is a minor annoyance and most definitely not a deal-breaker. ### 5/5 — Great! *2016-01-03, version 1.0.1* Worth the buy ### 5/5 — Shiz *2015-05-10* I'm so happy to have the same thing over and over again I will never be able and I don't think that I have no idea why you don't have a test in a statement issued by the way you want can I wear a bra on a Saturday night and I love it so much better if I could go through the night of sleep in a row in a few years ago when the sun goes on the phone to get my money and time consuming but your not going fanywhere what I h e the same thing as jdjdhndjdjjhhfsrddfdc and I i have a lot when you are a little too hard and fast food place for me I love ufiurie and j to be feeling like I found out about whether the two from the beginning Friday that dude jhfjvgvhbchfo OO shnsinc shnsinc basically Dan and hd the hsame ifu behd djej can dyou do I have no way I uy wxnr iwhxwbbd in the first The game iz goood ### 4/5 — Payment failed *2019-04-14* I wanna keep going with the game but its always telling me my payments failing. Decent game used to play it when i was younger wanted to go back and play the actual game. ### 4/5 — Payment failed Update Needed *2019-02-05* It’s a great game, but it needs a patch. For me and other potential customers, the game won’t let us purchase the full version. I can’t stress how much I’d like to play this game. I’ve been searching for a simple side scrolling RPG like this and it’s the only decent looking one on the App Store. I would like to hear back form the developers on if they know weither or not this problem exists. If possible to make the full version and expansion on the App Store so other IOS users would have to worry about the problem of the in app purchase.
