### 1/5 — Too hard to enjoy

*2023-06-29, version 1.01*

Fr addicting but so hard that it makes you super anger like this ain’t a game for 4+ more like 10+ make it easy so we can at least enjoy it and not be mad at it the hole time like

### 4/5 — COOL!

*2023-06-06, version 1.01*

Awesome concept, just needs a bit of tweeking, over all a really fun game, reminds me of arcade cabinets with their score count

### 5/5 — Good

*2022-04-23, version 1.01*

Difficult but awesome.

### 5/5 — Ended up becoming a nightly thing

*2021-04-01, version 1.01*

Once you figure out the controls, it becomes addictive AF

### 4/5 — Hard

*2020-12-08, version 1.01*

Harder than wannabe roadmen year 7s.

### 1/5 — Worst game I’ve ever played

*2020-03-11, version 1.01*

Game is trash and I enjoy a difficult game but this one is just kinda boring and annoying...rly super frustrating

### 5/5 — Good?

*2019-10-31, version 1.01*

It is a Nintendo like game the question is. Is it worth downloading the answer is a yes! The other question is is it worth 2.99 that question is up to you is it worth a cup of coffee to me ya. That being said I think that could explain the core game movement in some way that makes the player make less mistakes or like am open reeled or let the player move the chr on the title screen? I dot now it is good

### 5/5 — Well I like it!

*2019-10-24, version 1.01*

It’s a good game, unique gameplay - lots of sea characters (which helps me on my long journeys away from home). There are COUNTLESS levels and this game is not afraid to be difficult! So much challenge, so much fun to see, pieces of 8! Yarrrharharhar!!

### 3/5 — Nice but buggy game

*2019-08-15, version 1.01*

The treasure level can be trollish with the chest not being able to pass certain sections without either you dying or getting physically stuck. Seems extremely difficult if not impossible to keep your coins by levels end. You will die and lose them.

### 5/5 — Brutal Mechanics but satisfying gameplay

*2019-08-01, version 1.01*

I’m playing on the XR and I’ve haven’t experienced any bugs. The game mechanics/steering is difficult to grasp at first but soon you’ll be flying through the easier levels. Simple design but by no means an easy game, the developers took the time to create a challenging and addicting game. Would highly recommend!
