Please update the game to modern screen ratios. Also, it’s interesting how well but perhaps unintentionally the game is suited for local co-op by passing the device from one player to another. ### 5/5 — Wonderfully delightful *2026-07-22, version 1.5.0* OMG, iluvvit. ### 5/5 — Amazing without a choice *2026-07-16, version 1.5.0* First game in my WHOLE apps library that a game has lasted this long without being deleted. 3 years straight ### 5/5 — Does not commute is good but… *2026-07-05, version 1.5.0* Although the game is great, l want a changes. (Free checkpoints) It would make the game be a little bit easier to save you’re progress, because unfortunately when you make it far then you’ve gone before and you run out of time. You’re progress is not saved. ### 5/5 — Alt aber genial 🤩 *2026-07-01, version 1.5.0* Alle Jahre wieder spiele ich dieses fantastische Spiel. Mediocre kümmert sich darum, dass die Spiele spielbar bleiben. Danke dafür. Dafür habe ich die Vollversion gerne gekauft. So muss es sein. Ich hoffe, dass doch nochmal etwas Neues von dem Spielestudio erscheint. Mediocre stand bei allen Titeln immer für viel,Spaß, schöne Grafik, Ideenreiche Spielmechaniken und Spaß. ### 3/5 — Gut aber auch nicht gut *2026-06-25, version 1.5.0* Ansich lustiges Spiel, einmalig 2.99€ Zahlen für die Checkpoints tut jetzt auch nicht weh. Aber frustrierend wird es mit der ingame zeit. Ja man kann timetokens einsammeln aber jeder noch so kleine Fehler wird vom Spiel nicht verziehen. Ein Modus ohne Zeit wäre lustig und würde den einen oder anderen mehr an das Spiel ziehen. Und die Lenkung ist eher mittelmäßig. Macht Spaß und kann man ab und an als Zeitvertreib spielen, aber es ist nicht für ein dauersuchten geeignet. ### 5/5 — Classic iOS Game *2026-06-20, version 1.5.0* I keep coming back to this weird little game! ### 4/5 — Quirky!! *2026-06-17, version 1.5.0* A very charming game that I only recently discovered. I think the gameplay mechanic are very compelling however I’m not really siding with the idea of having to pay to use checkpoints. It takes away the premise massively as you just start from the beginning once you boot up the game again. It may just be me, but I’m not paying for a quirky gag game just to play for fun! But overall lovely game.BYEEEEE ## Frequently asked questions about Does not Commute ### What is Does Not Commute?
