### 4/5 — Worth your time

*2024-12-21, version 1.4*

This game is fun. The art is awesome, the fast-paced gameplay is addictive, and it is easily accessible.

BUT...

It almost never gets any more challenging. It's always the same enemies, location, and everything. Perhaps adding unlockable areas and skins could fix this?

Aside from this, Cooped Up is a really cool mobile game. Don't hesitate getting it. 

Thanks for reading!

### 4/5 — Nice game

*2023-06-01, version 1.3*

Good game but maybe get new skins and maps

### 5/5 — Holy cow

*2022-09-02*

This is the best 2D platformer I have ever played, As a beginner gamedev, the pixel art is amazing, the features are perfect and the funny animation gets me every time.

### 5/5 — Rezzanance@

*2022-06-20*

Забавно

### 3/5 — Страшно

*2022-05-12*

После 25 лвл эти птички такие что я наложил, а так прикольно, но птички страшные это на 9+

### 4/5 — Remember!

*2022-04-23*

I remember playing this when I was 4 but the bad thing is when I get an achievement it doesn’t give it to me

### 5/5 — OMG THIS WAS THE ONE

*2021-12-19*

I TOTALLY REMEMBER PLATING THIS AT THE AGE OF PROBABLY 5 OR 6. THIS WAS MY FAVORITE GAME. I HAD SO MANY GOOD MEMORIES WITH IS GAME AND SO DID MY BROTHER. This game is very entertaining and it is kind of like those never ending games which I LOVE. I would definitely recommend this game for all those kind of people that like never ending games. When I was little I played this game so many times and now I’m coming back to it after 6 or 7 years. This game helped me through a lot of hard times even though I was just another free game like all the others. TYSM TO THE CREATORS FOR BRINGING BACK MEMORIES. ❤️❤️❤️

### 5/5 — Love it😂

*2021-03-08*

I love this game it is funny and with the music is like a meme 😂. It is definitely for a weird person like me. Both me and my friend play this even though we are going to be high schoolers next year. My high score is above 270. It is also a great time killer. Thanks for making this game and please keep it out forever. ❤️ Also I love that there are like no ads. All my games give me never-ending ads 😑. But you don't 😉.

P.S
Do not pay attention to my name. I am way older than 10 😂

### 5/5 — Nitrome por favor lee esto:

*2020-06-19, version 1.3*

Buenos dias hoy quería ir a vuestra web para juzgar una partida de Bad ice cream cuando he visto que en el AppStore hay una aplicación a nombre de Bad icecream, vuestro juego el desorrallador a cogido vuestro juego y lo ha puesto a la venda sin vuestro permiso por favor denunciarlo tenéis derecho el videojuego és vuestro! La marca se llama Brigita Creation, por favor esto no puede seguir así esa marca es un estafador! En cuanto a Cooped up és brillante una maravilla hecho en falta una secuela con niveles o más mapas. Como siempre el apartado gráfico de Cooped up és como todos los demás videojuegos de Nitrome un pixel art impresionante!

### 5/5 — ?

*2020-04-21, version 1.3*

광고 나오는 게임 깔았는데도 광고 나오네요 그거말곤 젛아요

### 4/5 — Impossible à un certain stade

*2020-03-24*

Bonjour j’adore les mécaniques du jeu et j’y joue beaucoup mais c impossible de continuer vers les étages 160, à cause de nombreuses combinaisons de oiseaux fou + canette au pire moment + double oiseaux qui vole sur juste 2 branches

### 4/5 — Optimization

Das Game ist verpixelt es gibt viele Game glitches und das weiß ich alles ohne es gespielt zu haben

### 1/5 — Pantalla no se ajusta

*2022-12-29, version 1.3*

Esta muy bueno el juego y todo pero no se ajusta. Lastima, planeaba quitarle los anuncios pero así no me animo.

### 1/5 — Begenmedim

*2022-07-26, version 1.3*

### 1/5 — What??

*2018-10-22*

... this game is really dumb and disappointing. That’s all i have to say

### 1/5 — 🎀😍👠👠💅🏽💄👗🎀👛💋💜

*2015-09-04, version 0.2*

Rubbish I don't recommend it

### 1/5 — Bien pero mucha publicidad

*2015-08-30, version 0.2*

El juego esta entretenido y el diseño esta guay. Pero si cada vez que inicio una partida me tiene que salir un maldito video de publicidad.... Pues lo desinstalo. Prefiero pagar un poco y no aguantar publicidad.

### 1/5 — Cooped Up

*2015-05-20*

Perhaps the most boring game I've ever had the displeasure of downloading to my phone. I find it risible at best that they want you to use an in-app purchase to disable the advertising in order to play a game like this uninterrupted

### 1/5 — Des bugs trop importants !!!

*2015-05-17*

Ce jeu a totalement planté mon iPhone 5S ... Je n'y ai joué peut être que 3 secondes et mon écran s'est dédoublé puis il m'a été impossible de verrouiller mon portable pendant assez longtemps ...
Puis une fois mon portable verrouillé il ne se déverrouillait plus, 5 minutes plus tard il s'est rallumé tout seul ... Bref j'ai directement supprimé le jeu !! Et je vous le déconseille fortement !!
