### 3/5 — Star thresholds?

*2026-08-06*

This game is good but I don’t like how much the double jump can save you from falls or cancel your jump. A last minute fix I would recommend is angry birds style 3 star thresholds that rank you one star higher if you double jump less. Some people also like backtracking so in one run you can minimize your double jumps and in the next you can double jump to collect the card. Also gyro controls would be funny

### 4/5 — Very good game

*2026-06-28*

I had a great time playing through this game. I am a fan of this creator’s other games and this one did not disappoint. The gameplay and collectibles are very fun. It was a little frustrating and annoying to control at first, but i got the hang of it after a while. My main complaint is that the boss fights are kinda lackluster, but other than that, it’s great.

### 5/5 — :)

### 5/5 — Needs a possum skin

*2026-03-31*

Where’s my possum skin

### 5/5 — Love this game!

*2026-03-22*

The games this guy puts out are always great, some of the best mobile games I’ve played. Feels like games that are actually made to be good and because the person wanted to, rather than being a cash-grab. Gameplay is great! And the music is awesome. Highly recommend!!

### 4/5 — There’s a bug.

*2026-03-10*

I’m going to talk about the bug in a bit. But first: my review. It’s a great game with the same art style as “Be brave, Barb!” and I like that! The world’s are only 10 levels each which feels short compared to the game I came from, “Be brave, Barb!” That game had 20 levels In each world. But it’s a fun game with cute characters and charming graphics.




Now for the bug. I don’t recall what level it was, but I clipped through the wall and got stuck. I think it was a level in world 2. That’s all I have to say. Keep making games Tom!

### 5/5 — Add part 2

### 5/5 — 超棒的游戏
