I played the game for a few min, and after that there wasn’t much else to do. I wish you were able to maybe pick what to give the robot so it could simulate other drugs and the effects of it. But yeah, overall very short but fun! ### 4/5 — Shows good points for taking drugs overall *2018-07-03, version 1.2.1* Like another review I looked up what DXM was and it is used mainly in cough medicine but I think this aims more for DXM used in worse/stronger drugs. A lot of the other reviews I saw said it was “overly exaggerated” but the game teaches you what side affects and out comes that could be from taking a lot of different drugs. Besides the medical reason behind the game it is fun. It gradually quickens and increases in difficulty like most games. I just wish the directions weren’t as confusing and a bit more types of rounds involved. For each side effect, there is only about in or two (depending on side affect) and most are about bad coordination. If they’d multiple scenarios for each side effect, I think it would be a lot more fun. ### 3/5 — Ok *2018-05-24, version 1.2.1* The ads made it look better. Also, all the challenges are easy and I have no problem, that is if you exclude the soda can toss. It’s literally impossible to grab. Also, when you fail a friend leaves. In real life wouldn’t they stay with you and help you because you keep falling,you slur your speech, and you think everyone is a lamp ### 2/5 — Broken *2018-03-30, version 1.2.1* The tilt scene doesn’t work and forces my left no matter what and the puke one with the stomach doesn’t work either. ### 2/5 — Short *2017-06-22, version 1.2.1* I have no idea what dxm is, I have a strong feeling that this has a ton of propaganda in it, and it was less than five minutes long. However the graphics were nice. ### 2/5 — 🌹 *2017-04-02, version 1.2.1* The graphics are quite lovely. The game itself seems relatively mindless, however, instructions on how to do a task are sometimes very unclear. The information on DXM is completely one-sided and I don't suggest basing all your opinions about DXM solely from this game. ### 1/5 — Not like the real thing *2016-06-22, version 1.2.1* Unfortunatley the description of this app is misleading this game is nothing like actually taking recreational doses of DXM playing this game is nowhere near as euphoric as being on DXM is ### 1/5 — What?? *2016-06-09, version 1.2.1* "STUPID" So not true,, maybe the other robots need some dxm. ### 3/5 — Fun to play but not entirely accurate... *2016-06-03, version 1.2.1* As much as I hate to say it, this app is really just a fun game similar to 4 second frenzy while not really representing what DXM is really like. I don't condone use of DXM in any way but if you're going to make a game about it at least get the facts right. Overall the app itself is stable and a decent game that's both fun and challenging. Aside from the anti-drug propaganda you can have a bit of fun trying to get as far as possible as the time given to complete each task is reduced the further you get adding to the difficulty of the game. The 3D graphics are good but not great, don't get your hopes up from how cool the graphics in the intro and advertisements for this game are as they're extremely different from one another. But like I said it is a pretty good game if you like 4 second frenzy or any other similar style game. ### 1/5 — this is nothing like being on DXM *2016-04-19, version 1.2* dumb ### 3/5 — 666 *2016-03-20, version 1.2* I love playing this when I'm high on DXM ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Opposite effect *2024-05-10, version 1.31* Soooo hahaha when I was very young I came upon this game & that was how I first learned what DMX was & ended up doing it over that next yearish. Yeah games like this probably shouldn’t exist idk 🤣 ### 1/5 — “Expletive Fox, we sippin juice for life” *2021-05-09, version 1.2.1* Tussin ### 1/5 — Many misconceptions *2019-08-01, version 1.2.1* The game is not designed as a fun game to play, but instead as a game that tries to convince kids playing that if you abuse dxm, your friends will leave you. That is kind of messed up, the app should support helping people with problems. Although the message is totally flawed and crazy for kids to be tricked into, most of the negative effects in the are uncommon when on dxm and most of the time extremely minor. For example vision and sound distortion are pretty much non existent if you don’t take a very high dose and are purposely trying to devoid yourself of sensory input (like a dark room). The app tries to help prevent dxm abuse, but it just ends up spreading misinformation and misconceptions. ### 1/5 — Terrible lol *2018-10-19, version 1.2.1* The good effects are said to be terrible, and the terrible effects (like vomiting) only last a small amount of time if at all. Honestly this sounds more like alcohol than DXM... ### 1/5 — Uhhh *2017-07-23, version 1.2.1* DXM is fun as hell ### 1/5 — Propaganda *2017-03-10, version 1.2.1* Basically a propaganda app that tries to paint dxm as if it were some deadly drug like cocaine or meth. Dxm can be safe recreationally and can even be therapeutic. ### 1/5 — Horrible *2017-01-31, version 1.2.1* The game wont let you move half of the time not letting you do anything and losing the level ### 1/5 — Terrible *2016-12-12, version 1.2.1* The game is basically a psa to raise awareness for dmx abuse, which there are more ways to raise awareness over a problem that doesn't exist. ### 1/5 — Promotion of narrow-mindness *2016-09-17, version 1.2.1* The game is mildly-entertaining at best. This is simply because the focus is not true entertainment. The focus is to entertain the idea that drugs (DXM) are bad. Meanwhile, rather than educating, or the proper method of distributing information, DXM robot instead hopes to implant a simple-minded idea in one's head at the cost of accuracy. It's the common practice of stating ones feelings on a topic as factual information in effort to persuade others to "think" (feel) the same. That is how "preconceived notions" develop. (Look it up) I wouldn't ever promote the use of drugs, or DXM, necessarily. My intention is to encourage another to educate and think for themselves rather than mindlessly rely on the information they receive from TV and games (the media). As a kid, I was always told not to rely on info from the Internet...but yeah, go ahead and watch TV with me. You were likely told the same. Well, get this, TV is filtered, meaning they will tell you only what they're allowed to and want you to hear. The Internet is unfiltered. Therefore, you'll get a mix of what is true and what people want you to believe (like tv). To make it easy, government sites (strictly filtered) are like fantasy with no room for someone to comment. While science communities are like textbooks, even fit with a classroom setting open for debate among educated individuals wishing only to share information, sources, and research. Drugs are harmful when one isn't educated on the subject just like fire is harmful in the same respect. Likewise, we're told not to mess with fire when we're young....but now it's time to grow up. All fire has it's uses. With all intentions of the game taken into account, it deserves no more than 1-star. ### 1/5 — Waste of time *2016-08-12, version 1.2.1* Everyone makes this out to be a fun and amazing game. Just an endless easy "challenge rounds". Cool and great graphics, but boring and mindless game. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Perfect while on DXM *2021-06-17, version 1.31* Amplifies it 5x ### 5/5 — Im playing this on dxm *2019-12-27, version 1.2.1* Its dope! ### 5/5 — Nothing wrong but it has a creepy feeling towards it *2019-06-24, version 1.2.1* Pretty creepy IDK why, especially to play at night but uhh, yeah I am pretty confused over just... everything. But I found out it’s about taking leen or promethezeen. Average ordinary peoooe use it but lol. ### 5/5 — Want some *2016-09-10, version 1.2.1* This game just makes me want some dxm lol ### 5/5 — DXM *2016-04-06, version 1.2* im gunna play this while high on dxm ### 5/5 — Great "game", but dumb reviews *2015-12-15, version 1.1.2* I really love this "game". Because it's not, what it's trying to show is that drugs (not only DXM) have consequences. You'll lose friends, family, control, ETC. Many of these reviews are saying it's stupid and stuff, but these people don't see the whole point. It's not meant to be a game or entertaining, but as an educational source to better help you learn about the consequences for abusing DXM and other drugs. ### 5/5 — BEST APP EVER *2015-06-26, version 1.1.2* I love the app it's awesome. I always wanted an app like this and now I have one..I will give some more suggestions later and stuff ### 5/5 — Super Fun *2015-06-04, version 1.1.2* Don't listen to all these people saying that DXM isn't bad, cause it is, and this game not only shows you that but it is really fun. It's a lot like dumb ways to die. I enjoy and hope they add on by letting you customize your robot more and adding new substances! ### 5/5 — Stupid reviews are stupid. *2015-05-13, version 1.1.2* I personally like this game for the challenge and the funny moments. Even if it gets hard like I can't control its vomit or find its friends, I'm pretty sure I can get over it and try again. The reviews are obviously just posting that these aren't the real /e/ffects (since people put affects, which is the wrong aspect. For example: "Did you notice the effects of the medicine he took? It really affected him." So please use those right next time.) It's a fun game and people are too blind to see that. Besides, it's a robot on drugs. How is that not fun? ### 5/5 — Love it *2015-04-04, version 1.1.2* This is the funniest game or (program) ever created!! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
