### 5/5 — Buy amplified

*2022-11-01, version 1.19*

I love this game but there is no reason to buy this version instead of amplified so save the $5 and go get amplified!

### 4/5 — Please Update for New Devices!

*2021-01-21, version 1.19*

On newer devices like the IPhone XS, the game is shrunken, making it harder to play. I love this game SO much, fixing that would make it perfect!

### 1/5 — Sorry but a joke

*2020-03-27, version 1.19*

I have this game for PS4 so i thought id get it for my phone. So buggy. Took an entire night to download wouldn’t even open.  Downloaded it again and theres no sound and i cant get bombs or healing items to work. Good game bad as an app.

### 4/5 — Almost everything I wanted

*2020-03-09, version 1.19*

Ok so this was like my favorite game until I beat it and then felt really unsatisfied. The only thing more that I would want is a level creator or something that you can post your levels and stuff like that. I hope you can add one for a little extra to make this a five star review. Otherwise this is probably my favorite game ever.

### 1/5 — Beware - Always on Home Bar!

*2019-12-20, version 1.17*

The Home Bar is always on in a game with swipe controls? An errant swipe too close to the Home Bar will start to switch to another app, ruining your rhythm. 

This game need to be updated to properly dim the Home Bar so it takes two swipes to exit the app.

### 4/5 — Almost perfect

*2019-12-14, version 1.16*

I have this game on pc and switch, and now I can play wherever I want. There’s a few problems though... like the items being covered by the notch without being able to set a safe zone, or the occasional crash. Still, being able to enjoyably play this more than makes up for the minor inconveniences

### 5/5 — Necrodancer

*2019-10-24, version 1.16*

I really, REALLY like this game...
However.... And I know this is all on me, and not even really a complaint (which is why I've still given it 5stars)... the game is just SO BIG! I only have a 16GB phone (with the OS, it's more like 12), and I can't ever install it because I never have the space.
=J
I wish they would have lowered the quality of the music and allowed those who wanted HQ tracks to freely download them so that the app could be smaller in size. 
But... whatchoogonnado? 

This is an AWESOME game, and I still HIGHLY recommend it if you're into roguelikes and/or music tappers.

### 5/5 — Great game

*2019-10-07, version 1.16*

So glad the bug is fixed. Thank you!

### 3/5 — Great game, but crashes during launch.

*2019-09-30, version 1.15*

I love this game. Played it for hours on Steam and was excited to play it on my phone, but the entire application crashes after continuing the title screen.

### 1/5 — Crashes whenever I try to open it.

*2019-09-30, version 1.15*

I know that this game is supposed to be great, but it crashes every time I try to open it. Until that’s fixed, I can only give it one star.
