### 2/5 — Je n'aime pas

*2016-10-21*

Je trouve la maniabilité assez difficile

### 2/5 — Steuerung

*2016-10-13, version 1.41*

Nette Idee, aber leider keine gute Umsetzung. Die Perspektive lässt einen leider nur erraten, wann der richtige Moment zum Richtungswechsel gekommen ist. Zudem kann man weder rückwärts laufen noch manchmal gezielt in eine Richtung. Meistens fällt man in den Abgrund, was irgendwann ziemlich nervt.

### 3/5 — The View

*2016-10-12*

On at couple of levels at least, there are objects that block that camera's view at essential turns that are made often for restarts. This makes it a matter of timing, which is fine, but if the timing is off from the music, holding that timing in your head can get annoying. 

To the developer, just go through and find these areas where objects are obscuring the the turns and we'll be golden.

To the consumer, the game is an interesting idea built around the idea that you not only will fall, but you have to sometimes to move forward. Nice little sentiment there, but there are some frustrating aspects (like I mentioned above) that seem more like design flaws than challenges. Can I get past these "flaws" of course, with practice. But I'd rather overcome challenges that feel like their part of the game, not a design oversight. 

Give it a whirl while it's free. If not free, maybe browse a bit further to see if another game steals your interest.

### 1/5 — Not enjoyable, but looks pretty.

*2016-10-11*

I'm a sucker for puzzle games and I was really excited for this one. The game looks beautiful and has a calming soundtrack, but becomes frustrating very quickly. You never know which direction your character is going to turn. There are white coins on the map not sure if you're suppose to collect them or not but many lead to death. Some maps have switches that open new paths, and the second you click a switch you fall off the map. By the time you reach the end of a level it feels like more of a chore, rather than feeling a sense of accomplishment.  I do enjoy challenging puzzle games , but with poor level design and random controls I can't find enjoyment in this.

Update to 1 star I have never paid for an app and still get ads. Really annoying, most apps you pay for will remove the ads.

We heard you! 

We made the first couple of levels a bit easier, the character runs slower to help you get to grips with the controls, then we progressively make the character run a little bit faster with each increasing Level. We're not going to make it too easy for you ;)

We also fixed the mute button!

More updates coming with more levels soon.
