### 3/5 — Translate?

*2022-11-05, version 4.1.3*

Is there anyway you can translate the Japanese version?

### 4/5 — HE BACC AND ON THE ATTACC

*2021-01-12, version 4.1.1*

Ah yes, the rayman before rayman. What. A. Classic.
BUUUUUUUUTTTTTTTT I wish this was more like the sonic ports with more features, I also would’ve liked it to be a remake with handdrawn graphics similar to the wonder boy remake.
But other than that yea it’s classic fun headdy.

### 4/5 — Ad city baby!!

*2020-09-03, version 4.1.1*

Good port but it’s full of ads it is very very annoying!!!!!

### 3/5 — This Game is Harsh!

*2020-06-18, version 4.1.1*

I wrote this review because there is no continues in Dynamite Headdy iOS. Originally, Dynamite Headdy the Genesis has continues; I mean come ON! I was stuck on the 3-3 puppet boss (the second phase of the second boss) 10 million times! This remake forgotten something, I guess...

### 4/5 — A faithful port but...

*2020-04-17, version 4.1.1*

### 5/5 — Nick

*2019-09-21, version 2.0.2*

Awesomenessssss

### 5/5 — A "HEAD" in the right direction!

*2019-08-20, version 2.0.2*

Now, Sonic is amazing and I'm glad to see it's growth. But Dynamite Headdy? I've never even HEARD of it until I looked at the trailer for it being on mobile. I was excited to see what it really was and bought the game. And I'm glad I was excited, because this is pretty good! But in the next update, I'd like to see where you can make the Japanese version have English text. Great game overall, and others should play it, too! :D

### 1/5 — Can’t load save file

*2022-05-02, version 4.1.3*

Trying to load save file but can’t

### 1/5 — The first boss is broken 😡

*2021-08-14, version 4.1.3*

The first boss is so hard like he is broken and it seems like my head (yes it works that way🥺) does not do any damage plz give me tips…. And I think I am going to delete it that stinks😞☹️☹️🥺

### 1/5 — Nostalgic but ads make it unplayable

*2019-09-02, version 2.0.2*

I loved this game as a kid, and you did a great job with the mobile version.  I don’t mind ads, but frequently they glitch and freeze, preventing me from closing them without relaunching the app.  If you offer a free version with ads, it should be playable.  As it stands, i can’t play without purchasing, and I’m not comfortable paying for this reason alone

### 1/5 — Bad save function

*2018-06-16, version 1.1.0*

Dear, Sega when I save my game I don't know
How I get in My file
When I start the game it brings me to a different file so can you fix it I don't want to play it all over again.by Collin goh

### 1/5 — Laggy

*2018-04-28, version 1.0*

This game is laggy and the control reactions are so slow

### 1/5 — Boo

*2018-04-27, version 1.0*

This is a harder version of decay attack sega should make a mobile version of Alex kid and the enchanted castle

### 1/5 — Laggy

*2018-04-27, version 1.0*

When I connected my controller to this game none of the buttons worked and this broke my controller. :(

### 1/5 — Unable to hear any music

*2018-04-25, version 1.0*

This will be a one star review until I can hear the music. Otherwise it'll stay.

### 2/5 — Refuses to let me get Ad-free

*2023-01-01, version 4.1.3*

Awesome game, but literally refuses to let me buy the ad free version. I HAVE to play with ads and this isn’t exactly the kinda game you wanna do in one go, doesn’t help all the ads are like 30-40 seconds long

### 2/5 — The music is bugged.

*2018-12-17, version 1.2.2*

In the Japanese version, the music sounds wrong for some reason. This is unfortunate because the music in this game is fantastic, and this only seems to be an issue in the Japanese version.

### 5/5 — Game gear port

*2022-12-03, version 4.1.3*

Can you make a dynamite headdy game gear port

### 5/5 — Dynamite Headdy is pretty cool

*2022-08-04, version 4.1.3*

(Nutcracker sweet song)

### 5/5 — Nostalgia

*2022-06-23, version 4.1.3*

Played this when I was 9 or 10, pure nostalgia. Alright imma play this and VectorMan now lol

### 5/5 — Very fun Sega Genesis/Megadrive title!

*2022-05-04, version 4.1.3*

I absolutely love this Genesis game and i’m very happy to see it playable on IOS and Android, i’ve seen some other reviews saying that this is a “remake” or “remaster” which it really isn’t, it’s mere emulation, but don’t let that discourage you or anything because this is actually pretty nice emulation like the other titles in the Sega Forever collection such as, Ristar or Golden Axe (you should totally check those two out if you haven’t already), also the sample quality is surprisingly clean which makes me wonder what emulation they used, either way this is a very solid port to IOS devices and I definitely recommend it to anyone who hasn’t played it already.

### 5/5 — Possibly the best sega game ever

*2022-04-08, version 4.1.3*

Headdy fan here and I just want to tell everyone that this game is a masterpiece. Please do not miss out it’s fun,creative and a game that you’ll never forget. I do like sonic ,toejam and earl, vectorman but headdy is possibly the best. The headdy community is such a dedicated and underrated franchise and It really needs more fans so please play! Btw I recommend the JP version for better experience and also has more content. - Codes4

### 5/5 — No

*2021-07-11, version 4.1.3*

Japanese version is way easier

### 5/5 — Level select is even in this port!!! Good job Sega, you actually do good at something.

*2021-05-29, version 4.1.3*

for the people who clicked on this review to do the level select cheat, here’s how you do it: press start on the title screen and then do the following: C, A, LEFT, RIGHT, B. If dynamite Headdy says “nice!” Then you know you got the cheat. Then just press start. You can also save ur game, change the visuals, and change the controls!!!

### 5/5 — Dynamite Headdy
