### 5/5 — Devs are dead

*2023-08-15*

Great game but with no update it gets repetitive but i been playing since 2013 and I love it. Nostalgic.

### 4/5 — The levels

*2023-03-26*

We need new levels for both adventure and survival. New bosses aswell, it gets boring because it just repeats the same levels.

### 1/5 — Won’t stay deleted.

*2021-03-29, version 1.3.7*

I have deleted that app at least 10 times and it just keeps popping up on my home screen. It is creepy and annoying.

### 5/5 — I a sorry

*2020-04-04, version 1.3.7*

A lot of the problems I addressed were me just overreacting, I was just mad, I love the game I just get very angry at it. Please forgive me.

**Developer response:** EDIT: Hi again, nothing to forgive! Your feedback is very valuable for us and you just said your emotions. We love to hear from our players how they feel. We need to update the game! Thank you again!

Hello! Thank you for your long feedback! It is very valuable for us and helps us to understand how to improve the game. 

Please understand that the game is old and nonprofitable and running an old engine. We kept the game alive because we love it. Unfortunately, these new technical problems are starting to pile up (as you experienced), so we decided to update it to the latest engine version and remove all the technical problems! This is a huge update, so it will not be instant, but we will be working on it, just from pure passion for the game.

Please let me answer your points:

1. The obstacles are way to hard

We plan to rebalance the difficulty and improve the game controller.


2. Way to many ads

We will remove banner ads and balance force ads. With any purchase, ads are removed even now. We need to ear money so we can keep improving the game.

3. It made me more mad than any other games had ever before

Very sorry to hear this.

4. I watched an ad so I could be revived but it did not revive me

Unfortunately looks like a bug that needs to be fixed!

5. The lag is so bad

Very old engine, not optimized for new technology. This will be fixed. 

6. The first few levels are extremely hard

We will be balancing difficulty. 

7. There is no tutorial

There is a tutorial in both adventure mode and infinite run. It is not optimized for buttons, but for gestures. We will fix this and make one universal controller. 

8. Update the game

Yes!

9. Sometimes the buttons don’t work

Old engine and difference in handling input. We will fix this. If you switch to the gesture controller, it will not have these problems, it is in the settings. I personally play only with gesture mode.

10. Even getting two stars is extremely hard 

Some people love this challenge, the game was made for hardcore gamers audience in the past. We plan to rebalance it for a more actual audience.

11. 99% of the game is repetitive 

We try to bring as much content and random generators as possible.

12. I came expecting a Greek mythology game but I was wrong

Game is based on Greek mythology, but it doesn't represent. It mixes many cultures. You can find greek mythology in many places in the game.

I hope after the update you will enjoy the game :-).

Greetings from Dark Lands team!

### 5/5 — Thanks for the creative

*2019-12-21, version 1.3.7*

This is a awesome game

**Developer response:** Thank you! We are happy that you like it!

### 3/5 — Ads ruined it

*2019-06-25, version 1.3.7*

I know you have bills to pay. But, geez, an ad after every level just brings the game to a screeching halt

**Developer response:** Hello! Thank you for your feedback. We love Dark Lands! We want to be able to update it regularly with new content. For that, we need development budget, that Dark Lands didn’t earn enough lately. We hope these additional ads will help us get much needed budget for it. Any in-game purchase will remove banner ads and non-optional ads. I hope you understand this. Thank you. :-)

### 5/5 — IDK

*2019-06-19, version 1.3.7*

I’m giving it a five because turtles like chicken nuggets and when they eat them they get fat also the birdies come and swoop on them like bam bonk gang on the gang. Another reason is because they look like straight out of gta five and are also gorillas are not monkeys they are big gorillas. But they have the biggest fungus on their buts so yea. Also I’m really bored that is the only reasons why Ian rating this game a five. 

                               PICKLE!!

### 5/5 — amazing

*2019-06-11, version 1.3.7*

love it

**Developer response:** Hello! Thank you, we love that you love Dark Lands! :-)

### 5/5 — Great game

*2018-11-16, version 1.3.6*

Perfect so cool the monsters are fun to defeat

### 4/5 — Where. Are. The New. Levels.

*2018-08-02, version 1.3.3*

This game hasn’t gotten a significant content update since the release and it’s a downright shame, too. 

We’ve seen updated background art, a few new modules in survival mode and that’s it. 

Where are the teased new areas that supposedly “will be discovered soon”? (since release)
