Just crashes…

Hoping this adds to the chorus and maybe keeps someone from throwing their money away on a game that has clearly been abandoned by the developers but kept live in the store (for the dense ones in the back.. this is a super crappy practice).

Stay away

Unplayable on newer devices. If you’re rocking an iPad that’s a few years out of date and no longer gets updates you might have better luck.

Constantly Crashes

Big Darius fan since the 90’s, but this game keeps crashing on level 2. I have to reopen game, and gets restarted to title screen

Update or return our money

I knew there was something fishy and I contacted the developers and told him that my game just randomly stops in the middle and I can't even get any good enjoyment out of it and they told me know that I was crazy.I can't play this game and I love this game what I think should happen is we should get our money back or they need updated.I'm very angry
