Amusing But
The original game was great and it is sad that it has not been continued on other platforms. This version is at best amusing but nothing like the gameplay quality of the original. Well as I said sad.

Downloaded today, very disappointed, will only go left no right movement at all.
Close but not quite
It’s the closest I’ve found to the original retro Amstrad version but the controls are cumbersome which makes the gameplay slower and at times frustrating - or maybe I was just better at it 30 yrs ago lol

The games needs abit of wor
Way too small.
It has some kind of resemblance to the original game but is so small on my screen I can barely see what’s anything…
A retro classic
Now there’s a choice of two control schemes which is great. Be nice to have more options e.g original sound effects. Great to have this classic on my phone. An all time great
Updated Review
This game really takes me back to my childhood where I invested huge amounts of hours into this on our schools new BBC Micro.
Initially I gave this review a 3 star rating as the write up states it’s compatible with MFi controllers. It didn’t work with my “Backbone” so I dropped the developer a message. Got a response of thanks in less than 24hrs and within one week a new update fixed my problem.
A developer fixing a bug at the request of a sole user is worthy of a glowing review.
This is a super port to relive my childhood.

Rubbish
Too hard to control. No way near as good as original.
Don't bother.
This version of a classic is torrid. For starters you can't see eggs as they can be hidden beneath you controls - just make the game a square format and have controls outside that space. Secondly. Tried to be too clever with the graphics. Just keep them simple like the original game. Don't add in all the colour it's distracting!

Awful
I loved this game as a child and now I can't play it as the controls don't work! What a waste of 79p!!!!!
Terrible controls
As another user has pointed out, the controls are awful. It's really difficult to play the game or adjust the settings. No instructions with the game on how to adjust the controls neither. Shame as this could have been a good port of a classic game but instead it's a waste of money because it's so hard to play the game.

Poor, poor poor poor attempt
I downloaded this as I fancied playing a retro game I played in my youth. The controls are extremely poor, pathetic in fact, this shouldn't have even made it to the store, ridiculous, I'll be complaining to Apple about this one, games in the store should be fit for purpose, the controls for this one mean it's not fit for purpose, 79p or £3.49, to me it makes no difference, it still should be playable

Been charged for game that doesn't work bring back the spectrum at least that worked
Disappointing
Rubbish controls are rubbish, jump doesn't always work. Poor example. Want a refund!!
Don't Bother!!!
Used to love this game as a kid on my spectrum but not the same, the controls are an absolute nightmare and far too sensitive, you're just not in control of the character, he goes where he wants - don't pay for it, waste of time and money!!!
Great port
All time classic from early 80's, used to play on BBC Micro. New controls on iPad appear to have screwed it up completely!

Crap
Awful - don't buy
Don't buy this, it is unusable!
Terrible, Truly Terrible
Nearly impossible to get the game started due to lack of control. Got access to the game after many multiple failed attempts - when I did get in it was horrible. Would like a refund
Rubbish controls
Say no more!
