### 4/5 — game

*2026-07-07, version 1.4.5*

good game just some bugs, the skeleton fish bite you when your behind them somehow and when going left mickey sometimes goes opposite way

### 4/5 — Five stars

*2026-04-01, version 1.4.5*

This app is amazing but there is one thing it gets you very irritated

### 4/5 — The rating should be infinite stars! (But one problem)

*2026-01-24, version 1.4.5*

since I stopped playing this game I can’t download it. And also this used to be my childhood game and i loved this game when I was 5 or 6.

### 3/5 — Great game let down by lack of control options

*2025-12-23, version 1.4.5*

A wonderful little platformer that has obviously had a lot of care put into it, but I can’t understand why it doesn’t support joypads, seems strange as this would make this a 5 star platformer.

### 4/5 — GREAT GAME! just one problem though

*2025-12-20, version 1.4.5*

I love this game, it’s so adventurous and it has plot and all of that. Just one problem, I don’t think it’s necessary for when you lose all hp, get another chance, and when you die again you have to start ALL over. I think we should just teleport to the checkpoint from now on. This problem makes me mad and never allows me to finish a level. So please fix this! And great game!

### 5/5 — Backbone

*2025-11-08, version 1.4.5*

I’ve been playing this game for YEARS, and it is so gosh dang awesome! I love the way how you can change your outfits, the only thing I wish was different was if during the cutscenes if you have a different outfit if it would change in the cutscene. But other than that, it’s amazing!

### 5/5 — so nostalgic

*2026-05-17, version 1.4.5*

this... brings back memories

### 5/5 — Great remake of the genesis version, but better!

*2026-03-17*

I like the remake it’s fun! but there’s one little request, I would like to see in the options a switch to genesis version in the options, and if you’re in the genesis version, there can be a X button if you want to exit, and if you click on it, it’ll say: “Would you like to go back to the remastered version? You’ll lose all your unsaved progress you had, try clicking the save option in the genesis version before exiting in the console version options, Are you still sure you’d like to leave?” With 2 options, Exit text: “Yes” Keep playing text: “No”, that would be cool! As I’d like to play the genesis version, just like the remake! Disney, if you’re reading this, you can try you’re best. Thanks for reading! If you the people reading this review, If you’re interested, maybe wait patiently if your impatient. If it doesn’t come out, that’s ok. But I’d like to still see it anyway! Really exciting to imagine! :)

This thing is pretty good I downloaded this game November 2025 (it was released in 2013 the game was like 12) I’m on the fourth level of the game and Not gonna lie it’s pretty tricky even the first level is pretty hard (in a fun way) so only 5 lives it should be like 10 this game is in my Top 10 (for games)
