*2019-06-16*

Für Kinder ist Nicht geeignet, das Spiel ist sehr schwer daher nur 1 Stern

### 1/5 — Crashes

*2019-02-06*

Tried the free version, it worked paid for the full version and has never once worked! Tired a bunch of thing to get it working and to no avail. It loads then crashes. Not happy!

**Developer response:** Hi. This issue should now be resolved in the latest version (v1.0.5) that's available on the App Store. Thanks.

### 3/5 — This game is so much it’s the best game ever

Love this game so much it’s so good. I love it. I love it. I love it. I have a big crush on Orla

### 3/5 — Unsatisfying controls and collision detection

*2022-06-11*

To me the game does not feel good. I just played a bit longer to see why. Levels are solid with some nice surprises. Graphics are solid, a bit generic, different environments. Often the contrast between bad thing - background- platform is so little that I oversaw a bad thing. Controls are simple. Click on screen to jump, hold for longer jump. Still to me it did not feel good. I think it is because it is too strict: eg no margin when jumping of a platform, I.e even allow to jump when a bit over the edge. Collision is not only too exact, it feels even off, bad. Very often it feels as if an obstacle was not touched, but game days yes. It should be the other way, give a bit of margin. It is one thing to have a difficult game by designing challenges and another thing by having controls/ collisions that do not feel good and are just too technical exact. This game unfortunately is of the later, even it has some good designed challenges. It does not feel well controllable, unsatisfying. 90% of times when hitting obstacle of falling it felt like the games fault, not mine. Average game.

### 3/5 — Richman

*2021-08-10*

Die Umsetzung auf der Apple Watch ist nicht schlecht, aber das springen in dem man auf den Bildschirm drückt ist unpraktisch. 
Weil bei einem höheren Sprung und dem längeren drücken auf den Bildschirm immer das Popup Menü aufgeht. Bei der kostenlosen Version springt man über die digital Crown bei der Deluxe Version über den Bildschirm. Außerdem wären mehrere Welten auf der Apple Watch die man auswählen kann wie auf dem Handy schöner. 
Man hat nur die Möglichkeit die Lavalevel zu spielen. Bei 5 € für die Deluxe Version hätte man sich auch bei der Apple Watch mehr Mühe geben können. Ansonsten ist ein Support der nur über Facebook zu erreichen ist und keine regelmäßigen Updates bringt immer sehr schlechte Werbung.

### 3/5 — Cool game

*2020-12-26*

This is a cool game, I’d give 5 stars but the long press on the Apple Watch 6 makes it really hard because it always goes to the mute screen if you press a millisecond to long which is very irritating. I played the free one and it’s the same.

**Developer response:** Hi. You can now turn the Digital Crown to jump instead. This gets around the issue you mentioned.

### 5/5 — Game sympa

*2022-07-18*

Tape sympa

### 5/5 — Love it

*2022-06-12*

Amazing and addictive

### 5/5 — Version 1.0.6 broke apple watch app

*2022-06-03*

New version installed now apple watch app crashes. Watchos 8.6. Uninstalled, rebooted and reinstalled, still crashes out.
(Update 6.2.22, I did have assistive touch on. Turning it off fixed the problem)

**Developer response:** Hi. We have tested on our Apple Watches with WatchOS 8.6 and it’s running fine at our end. Here are a few things you can try to resolve your issue:

1) Check that AssistiveTouch on your Apple Watch is switched off. Open the Settings app on your Apple Watch, tap Accessibility > AssistiveTouch, then tap to turn it off. 2) Check your Bluetooth connection on both the iPhone and Apple Watch via their respective Control Centre interfaces to make sure there is a connection. 3) Try restarting your iPhone and/or Apple Watch. Thanks.

### 5/5 — Schönes Spiel

*2019-06-15*

Schön gemachtes Spiel.

Ein netter Zeitvertreib, macht Spaß.

### 5/5 — Gut gemacht

*2019-06-14*

Ähnlich Super Mario Run, aber anderer Stil. Und nicht ganz leicht.

### 5/5 — Очень здорово!

*2019-01-17*

Замечательная игрушка!
Примерно такой игра про Марио и должна была быть.
Спасибо за добавление поддержки Apple Watch 4 серии, но экран можно было и еще больше увеличить!

### 5/5 — Really ace game!

*2018-12-26*

This game is really great and reminds me of some of my favourite games like Sonic, Mario and Donkey Kong. The graphics are really great too.

### 5/5 — 💛🐵 Reminds me of Donkey Kong 🐵💛

*2018-11-26*

If you are a fan of the NES game like me you should definitely get this game. 🐵💛

### 5/5 — Great fun and addictive!

*2018-11-24*

I totally love this game, it’s highly addictive and looks amazing. Loads of levels to play through. I’m finding it pretty challenging now that I’m progressing through the levels - but you get unlimited checkpoints which helps! Plus you can skip levels by collecting coins which is great if you’re curious about what’s coming up next. Plenty of cool characters to choose to play as too.
