I still play this game at times and it’s good to see the developers have kept up with it. Thank you so much for this game! ### 5/5 — The OG Best iTouch game *2025-01-28, version 2023.1* Just try it, tilt controls so much fun ### 5/5 — Nostalgia *2024-12-26, version 2023.1* This game is still one of the best out there, love the feel and simplicity ### 5/5 — Awesome Game *2024-10-12, version 2023.1* Super simple, easy to play, and a good challenging game. One I always seem to find myself playing and is always fun. 5/5! ### 4/5 — Free *2024-08-11, version 2023.1* No adds :D ### 5/5 — HUGE NOSTALGIA *2024-07-04, version 2023.1* I ain’t gonna lie to you. It’s 1:44 in the morning and I couldn’t sleep because I found some old games I used to play all the time on my families phone and I had the beginning first notes playing again and again in my brain and I tried to figure it out so badly but I couldn’t till I searched it up online. And fortunately enough I found a Reddit user who actually knew of what I was talking about . And I just came to say I’m glad you’re still going and that you’re still kickin man. My childhood and everything about mewas defined by you and the other oldie games I played long time ago on my parents phone and I’m glad I’m able to get out the things that were subconsciously in the back of my mind. Really though, thank you for making my childhood splendid. I really hope you keep updating this game so one day I’ll show it to my own kids, currently like 21 but hey I can’t wait to show my parents tomorrow and my little sisters the good ole days of me and my parents . 5 star rating, undisputed best game that I played for hours, years even. Thank youuuuuu ### 5/5 — Great game *2024-06-30, version 2023.1* It’s a amazing game much better then cube runner 2 love the game perhaps you could ad a way to calibrated it but it’s great none the less. ### 5/5 — Nostalgia, and also I’m shocked that this game is still getting update *2024-03-03, version 2023.1* I used to play this game back in 2012 when I 7 years old with a ipad, I lost the game a while back and a couple months ago I came back years later. I’m glad that everything is still mostly the same however I saw that y’all are still updating the game adding controller support, 15 years later. I hope the game will stay the same, and if there is new stuff added, have mode that keeps it as classic mode. ### 4/5 — Be able to control what music plays *2024-02-09, version 2023.1* Great game I have loved since little but I would love to be able to control which soundtrack plays ever time I fly, rather than just what one the game decides. I love the classic soundtrack and want to have that one play every time I run. But instead the game plays the new music most runs with only a few in between playing the classical music. ### 5/5 — Amazing *2023-12-16, version 2023.1* This developer is the real OG updating a 15 year old app that’s as old as app stores in general. ### 5/5 — Classic Game that holds true to its Roots *2023-08-22, version 2019.3* 15 years ago, this game launched on the original iPhone. It was simple, addictive, and innovative. I’m very pleased to say that this version continues to look and feel just like the original, with added features that you can enjoy (or simply turn them off and play in retro mode). Thanks for keeping this classic game alive. ### 3/5 — Stuck turning left *2022-11-27, version 2019.3* The app doesn’t appear to work with an iOS 16 iPhone 14 pro ### 5/5 — Petition to Rename “Texas Driving Simulator” *2022-04-10, version 2019.3* First game I ever played on a smartphone back in early 2010s. Still playing to this day! Perfect for role playing as a Texas driver! ### 5/5 — Great game… Broken *2022-04-09, version 2019.3* Great game I loved it till I lost the ability To turn whatsoever ### 5/5 — Super Spiel 😃👍🏽 *2022-02-17, version 2019.3* Das Spiel ist ein super Zeitvertreib für Zwischendurch. Ja, die Grafik ist nicht die beste, aber meine Güte, dass Spiel ist vo 2008! Und irgendwie hat dieser Retrostyle auch seinen Charme. Vielleicht ist ausgerechnet diese Grafik das, was das Spiel so schön macht. Aber auch das Spielkonzept ist so genial, dass es auch in hundert Jahren noch funktionieren wird. Ich muss mich immer regelrecht zwingen, irgendwann aufzuhören, da mein Finger immer automatisch auf Restart drückt. Ist einfach eines der Besten, wenn nicht gar DAS Beste Spiel im Appstore. Und das, obwohl es schon so alt ist! Macht weiter so Entwickler!👍🏽 ### 5/5 — Classic *2021-11-16, version 2019.3* Classic game from the early days of the App Store. Lots of cool new features, but also has “retro” options for people who want the original style. Still fun to pick up and play after all these years. ### 3/5 — Great game but… *2021-07-30, version 2019.3* Cube Runner is one of my favorite all time IOS games because I remember playing it all the time back in 08’ and 09’ on my first gen iPod touch. I was reminded of it recently so I came to the App Store to see if it’s still up to download it. I installed it and was happy to see it again but a little disappointed that the old graphics, app icon, and UI are gone. You can put it in classic mode but it’s not the same. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Calibration issue *2023-09-08* There is a calibration issue when using newer ios. Calibration issue as the plane would always go left and makes it unplayable. **Developer response:** Hi - I've just released an update - this should resolve the calibration issue. ### 1/5 — Cube meltdown *2023-08-24, version 2019.3* Will not play or work on my IPhone 12 Pro Max…to bad. Used to enjoy thus game.., ### 1/5 — Not playable anymore iOS 15? *2023-02-16, version 2019.3* Can’t tilt turn at all (not playable) on iOS 15 , please fix ### 1/5 — disappointed *2020-03-02, version 2019.3* So disappointed with the new update. I should’ve never updated it from the old engine. I LOVED the classic feel and the ability for the POV shot of trying to slalom through the blocks. Gives us that option again. And bring back the ability to play in portrait mode on the phone. ### 1/5 — Ruined my favorite game *2019-07-04, version 3.0* Change it back to the original concept ### 1/5 — Awful update *2019-06-25, version 3.0* I was excited to play this classic game from my childhood and was very disappointed to see that you ruined it with new updates such as a dumb jet rather than an arrow and different colors and landscapes. It’s fine to update, but you should at least keep the option to use the classic mode. ### 1/5 — UPDATE IS BAD *2019-06-09, version 3.0* I am so upset w the new update. It made it WORSE. It looks like cgi from 2010 threw up all over the screen. And the little airplane is cute in theory but gross in reality. I wouldn’t mind there being a choice of choosing an cgi looking back ground or solid colors like before. And it would be nice to have the square and unlock other icons. PLEASE FIX IT !!! ### 1/5 — New update ruined it *2019-06-04, version 3.0* It’s a shame. Used to be so nostalgic. ### 1/5 — Update is disappointing *2019-05-12, version 3.0* This app is my childhood and I miss old music. That’s all, I’ll be playing it on my ios 5 device from now on. But still great app. Cube runner 2 is still good, don’t ruin it. ### 1/5 — Keine Möglichkeit zu kalibrieren *2019-04-08, version 3.0* Es gibt keine Kalibrationsmöglichkeit mehr. Um zu spielen man ist gezwungen gerade zu sitzen und beide Hände benutzen.... 😳😡 A new app icon is awful 🤢 ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Very fun *2026-06-19, version 2023.1* I’ve had this for a long time and it’s always a blast. Very good controls. ### 5/5 — 古からある良ゲー *2026-05-14, version 2023.1* iphoneの出始めから存在し、当時どハマりしたゲームです。 シンプルで難しく久々に遊んでも楽しいです。 ### 5/5 — True Nostalgia *2026-04-24, version 2023.1* I’m not sure there’s another game out there as niche yet nostalgic as Cube Runner. Years later, it is still just as fun and addicting as I remember it to be, I’m so glad the devs decided to keep in some of the retro themes as a nod to the OG players. Thanks for shaping my childhood, and here’s to many more years of Cube Runners fantastic existence🫶 ### 5/5 — It’s very addictive Best game on iPhone *2026-03-25, version 2023.1* I love this game I play it in insane mode I’ve made so many people play this and they immediately get addicted to it even if they don’t like to play video games I know it’s that good That’s the end of this review apple don’t remove this like you removed every other good game other than geometry dash and subway surfers. ### 5/5 — Nostalgia *2026-02-27, version 2023.1* Just like the other reviews this brings back such a time ### 5/5 — I could not love this game more than I already do *2026-02-07, version 2023.1* I first played this game on the original iPod touch back when I was 8 years old. ### 5/5 — Just as fun as I remembered. *2026-01-19, version 2023.1* This game has been great for nearly two decades. Love it. ### 5/5 — 最古のゲーム *2025-10-28, version 2023.1* シンプルで難しかったです。 ### 5/5 — Blessed my ears *2025-07-15, version 2.6.4* First of all this music blasting my ears this soundtrack is so good like once I hit the score of 100 and I just get blessed the controls are awesome it's simple design but big fun so 10 out of 10 game I just love it. ### 5/5 — First game I ever downloaded on my first IPhone 3GS back in 2008 *2025-07-03, version 2023.1* Bro!!! This game is still alive and kicking??!!! I can’t wait to plug this into my TV using the USB-C to HDMI and play with my Black PS5 controller and relive my early 20’s all over again as I play this classic of a game!! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
