### 1/5 — Waste of money

*2020-07-02, version 2.5.8*

Like a game from the 80's

### 1/5 — Irritating

*2020-06-27*

The puzzles are fine, but the app makes you use an old school Nintendo-like cross to move up and down and sideways.  It’s a touchscreen - why can’t you just touch the next square to move?  Also, if you run out of moves, you have to hold down this thermometer button to blow up the character before you can try again.  Just re-start the level at that point.  Ugh...

**Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback! To let you know, though, you can actually change the controls to swiping in the settings menu, if you'd like. Some people, myself included, find this to be the best way to control Circuit Dude. Also, the reason why you have to hold the button to restart is so that if you accidentally click the button, it won't restart you right away- It's like a way to confirm that you actually want to restart the level.

### 5/5 — Brilliantly designed levels

*2020-06-23*

Fantastic puzzle game! The level design is very clever and the game is quite addictive. Good work!

**Developer response:** Thank you so much!

### 5/5 — Hmmmm... do you smell something?

*2020-04-03*

If this game is anything like the devs Rugby skill then it must be garbage! 
But you know what, I’ll have to play it and give honest thoughts later.

### 5/5 — Great game

*2020-02-26*

I think I saw this game at a convention and played it. This game is a lot of fun and I would recommend it to people who like puzzle games.
One problem though is that this game isn’t properly formatted for iPhone 11 so I can’t see the side menu very well.

**Developer response:** Wow! Thanks for the review! In the options menu, there button option is a Screen Mode button! Click that to condense the screen size a little so that you can see a 'fit' version of the screen. This will let you see the sidebars without obstruction. :)

### 3/5 — Fun puzzler

*2020-02-25, version 2.5.8*

It’s a decent puzzle game, I haven’t played through a whole lot yet, but it is a charming puzzle game, a good time killer. Not much to put it apart from other games of its kind. Not sure it’s worth The money but hey it’s a good game

### 5/5 — Great game!

*2020-02-14*

Update:
Developer updated the controls and it's awesome now! Having a lot of fun with this indie classic!

**Developer response:** Howdy, YoMaster! Just wanted to let you know that the game has been updated based off of player feedback and I was hoping you'd have a chance to check out the new on-screen D-pad, along with the option to switch back to the swiping method. Would love to see a better rating if you find the new controls feel more natural.

### 5/5 — Puzzle game with a classic feel

*2020-02-13*

Challenging puzzles with satisfying solutions and interesting mechanics that really makes you stop and think. Actual game play is reliable the character moves and reacts how you expect.

**Developer response:** Thank you, MermaidSwagg, for the kind review!!

### 5/5 — Classic indie puzzle game

*2020-02-06*

Loved it on arduboy and it is just as great here. Just wish it had an appleTV version.

**Developer response:** Thank you! I am looking into options for Apple TV and other platform support.
