While the reviews seem suspicious with how “EPIC. ADDICTIVE. SO PERFECT” they say the game is I feel like they’re real, but the game is more of “ew tilt controls” making you look like a goblin in public. **Developer response:** They are real :) And thank you for checking it out! I love making people look like goblins in public. ### 5/5 — AWESOME *2016-04-11* Get this game. It's a great futuristic hacker runner game. Needs a few things though. Maybe an EMP or something to knock out drones. Think I keep getting rockets? Don't know how to fire them. Looking forward to more updates ### 5/5 — EPIC *2016-01-15* This is app is addicting. I never thought an app could be so fun!!! Epic graphics, epic operation and epic adrenalin. If you think you got skills then put them to the test with this. Byte Rider is amazing. If you have a smart phone but don't have Byte Rider then I'm afraid your phones not actually a smart phone which would mean that your not really a smart person. Get this app you'll thank me later ### 5/5 — Very great *2016-01-10* It's very addictive especially when you connect it to social media I rate it 5 stars ### 5/5 — Really really good *2016-01-02* This game reeks of high production value. For just one dev, it's pretty amazing. It reminds me of Temple Run but in a futuristic setting. ### 5/5 — Best runner since Temple Run 2 *2016-01-01* This is the most fun my 7 year old and I have had since TR2. The controls are simple (tilt and swipe like TR) and the world of cyberpunk is both interesting and gorgeously designed. My request to the game company is that they add a head to head version for multiple devices soon. This is a great one. ### 1/5 — Unfortunately *2015-12-30* The game only has tilt controls. There is absolutely no other control scheme. No choices. Nothing. Tilt is terrible and ruins the experience. On top of this the game has only consumable in app purchases with no iCloud save support which means if you buy anything and have to change devices or upgrade you are screwed out of your money. Why wouldn't the developer put in currency doubler IAP that is restorable? Why put in consumable IAP but not protect the customers from financial loss? I really wanted to like this game but unfortunately it's just hampered by the above issues. Fix this dev and I will re rate. ### 5/5 — Addicting! *2015-12-28* Not usually the type of game I seek out - I'm usually more into puzzle-ish stuff - but I heard good things about it and the graphics looked cool. Before I knew it I was reaching for my phone to play every chance I got. Super fun! ### 5/5 — This game is fun! *2015-12-26* Cool game with great art and sound effects! ## Frequently asked questions about BYTE RIDER ### What is BYTE RIDER?
