If the creator could hear this, please make more levels. ### 5/5 — Great game - Unable to 100% *2026-04-24* I loved this game while it lasted. It is a fun rock-climbing experience and I would tell anybody who likes a challenging mobile game to give it a try. I only have one gripe, not a major one, but still, there is one thing. You can’t 100% complete Comet Mountain, the third mountain. I completed every level on screen, every diamond, every diamond rank. There is apparently a level 26 here like the rest (the pop up for what I have left says I need diamond on 26) but there isn’t one. Other than that, this game is great! ### 3/5 — Great mechanics ruined by needless restrictions *2026-04-20, version 1.06* I haven’t played a game on my phone I’ve enjoyed this much, but it’s ruined by your life counter. Once you hit zero you have to pay up. There’s no option to purchase unlimited lives, you have to continuously pay for more lives, or stop playing altogether to generate more. It feels like they don’t actually want you playing the game at all. ### 5/5 — Very fun *2026-04-07, version 1.06* It is very fun, super nice design. ### 5/5 — I love this game *2026-04-04, version 1.06* this game is so fun just completing levels and when I'm done I get the gems and get the best time this game is the best. ### 5/5 — Great time *2026-03-31, version 1.06* A great time, sad they haven't been adding anything new. Got it a few weeks ago and have almost 100% on what released. Looks like they have a lot of good unreleased stuff in the video. Would totally recommend ### 5/5 — Really fun! *2026-03-19, version 1.06* Good gameplay, good graphics, and an overall fun experience ### 5/5 — Great game - with one catch *2026-03-18* I have quickly become addicted to the smooth but precise gameplay and all I want to do is try and speed-run for better and better times. There’s just one problem, there is no option to get unlimited lives. I want to restart over and over and over but even with the max option for 60$ you can only get temporary unlimited lives. I know the goal of this monetization is to make a game like candy crush where you can take in the money forever but this game isn’t built for the lives model. It so fun to play fast and die often you even have instant respawns. Even level progress is locked behind speed based rankings, which requires risky play. Because of this lives are a huge red flag for me. Just let there be a payed option for unrestricted play and I would happily buy it. ### 3/5 — Great Game but Stupid Lives System *2026-03-17, version 1.06* Game is super fun and challenging, but has a lives system. This is not candy crush bro. And I could almost excuse the lives if it didn’t take one EVERY TIME you pressed the restart button, regardless of if you are falling or not. Made me uninstall. ### 5/5 — Fun *2026-03-15, version 1.06* Great game, level 26 on comet mountain won’t show up for me but other than that it is An awesome game. ### 5/5 — Fun and addicting *2026-03-10, version 1.06* The mechanics are pretty cool and I love how easy it is to play. I don’t understand what the coins are for, but it is a new game, so I assume more is to come. I just 100% the entire game, getting platinum and the gem in every level, and it’s pretty fun. Great game. ### 5/5 — Fun and addicting *2026-03-07, version 1.06* The mechanics are pretty cool and I love how easy it is to play. I don’t understand what the coins are for, but it is a new game, so I assume more is to come. I have become fixed on trying to get gold or diamond on every level, and it’s pretty fun. Great game. ### 5/5 — DOWNLOAD DYNO!!!!!!!! *2026-03-06, version 1.06* This is literally the best game I’ve ever installed (and I’ve had them all) PLEASEEEE ADD MORE ROUTES TO THIS GAME PLS PLS PLS. Guys seriously download it it takes a few minutes to get used to the physics but once you do it’s so tuff. One issue I’m having is that route 5 on frog mountain makes my phone crash out unless I play on slow mode so I can’t get the blue star time. THANK YOU PLEASE ADD MORE ROUTES AND SKINS EVERYONE GET ON THIS GAME 🙏🙏🧗‍♂️ ### 5/5 — Good mechanics *2026-03-05, version 1.06* The game has a fun idea and builds on it well. There’s little ads and little distractions which is great. ### 5/5 — A total blast *2026-03-04, version 1.06* This game is so fun I can’t believe it’s free, and with no ads. The movement is so simple yet allows you to move so fluidly. It feels amazing when you find a faster route or make quick jumps, and there is just enough challenge to make each level interesting without feeling impossible. 10/10 ### 5/5 — One must imagine Sisyphus happy *2026-03-03, version 1.06* The title is really the review. Highly recommend. ### 5/5 — Needs more *2026-02-28, version 1.06* This game needs a major update, it’s a good game but it needs more levels. I already finished it and I think it needs more levels, leaderboards, usernames, more skins, over all a good game. ### 4/5 — Pretty Fun Game *2026-02-28, version 1.06* I beat every single available level with diamond and gem (level 26 on comet mountain isn’t showing up for me). The game is very addicting and I came back to it a lot. I can imagine it would be very difficult without the early bird access to lives. But otherwise it felt very rewarding to finally finish a level perfectly. I wish there was more. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Impossible to beat *2026-08-14, version 1.06* Way to hard with the black holes the space thing and gravity puller ### 1/5 — Lvl 20 frog mountain *2026-02-21, version 1.06* I have nothing to say but level 20 on frog mountain ### 1/5 — How it’s bad *2026-01-29, version 1.06* •The levels are way too easy •gravity isn’t even existing ### 1/5 — Unplayable *2025-10-29, version 1.06* Honestly its a fun game but level 26 on the last mountain is bugged and doesnt show up and now my achievements are at 99%. Please fix it and add some more levels, the vine level in the ad looks cool but theres nothing like that right now. ### 1/5 — Garbage *2025-09-20, version 1.06* Horrible game if you get this you are the stupidest person to exist and deserve to die ### 1/5 — Don’t get *2025-05-03, version 1.05* This game is really fun for about 2 minutes before you run out of lives. You only get 20 lives and a singular one regenerates every 20 minutes. This game would be a lot more fun and a lot less infuriating if the removed the dumb life system. ### 1/5 — should not have lives *2025-05-02, version 1.05* bru how are you gonna make it a game where u wanna get the best score but you losing lives all the time get that outta here trash game ### 1/5 — Why the life system *2025-05-02, version 1.05* Why does a $35 payment only give like 6 hours of unlimited lives. no one finds it fun to only play for a short time and be punished for not being perfect at the game. ### 1/5 — Would be an amazing game if there was different micro transactions *2025-04-24, version 1.04* Super fun, but there’s a life system that makes you wait ages for more attempts OR you can buy more lives for irl money. Not even an option to spend like $5 to get unlimited lives. If they ditched this scummy system and replaced it with ads or a one time purchase this would be a 5 star review. ### 1/5 — Garbage *2025-04-23, version 1.04* Horrible Game. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Top Tier Game *2026-07-27* This game’s mechanics are super smooth and is super fun to play. Please add more mountains and ultra extreme levels because I would play this game all day this is genuinely one of the best games I’ve ever played and it’s niche too. Extra bonus points for allowing early users infinite lives and having no ads. After completing all levels twice on different devices I’ve found 3 bugs. 1. If you restart while holding down on a normal rock, it shoots you back to the rock you were holding on to, while resetting the time allowing you to cheat diamond times. 2. This is rare but sometimes when you get to a checkpoint the hand is off slightly and you are stuck in place and can’t move. To fix this you have to reset to the start and get a faster time to the checkpoint. 3. On level 6 of comet mountain you can fall forever. ### 5/5 — No level 26? *2026-07-22, version 1.06* I’ve 100% every mountain except for the comet mountain, I’ve gotten every gem and diamond time on it but there’s no level 26 on it. Please add a level 26 to it, It’s driving me crazy being so close yet so far to completion. Still a great game though. ### 5/5 — Best climbing game in App Store! *2026-07-15* Best climbing game I could find and hats off! To the developers. The game has fantastic quality and this game should be popular but it’s not. So underrated!! ### 5/5 — W climbing game *2026-06-28, version 1.06* Very hard and addictive. 🤫 ### 5/5 — Gettin more lives thank u *2026-06-23, version 1.06* Yeah ### 5/5 — Frog mountain *2026-06-15, version 1.06* Level five on rock Mountain is very laggy for some reason. Don’t know if any other levels have that lag. Hopefully, you fix it soon. Other then that it’s awesome give us the full release already ### 5/5 — W Game *2026-06-14* This game is genuinely one of the best apps I’ve played on the mobile store. The mechanics are unique and the game is really fun to get into and master. There are a few things though that would make this game even more tier. Mainly is the lives system. For a free game with no adds, I have no problem with it, however, I feel like sometimes it can be unforgiving. If there was some sort of training mode or replaying levels didn’t lose you hearts, it’d make it way more manageable and allows people to get better without having to lose lives. Another that’d be cool is maybe a level editor where you can create custom levels with all the mechanics from the game and be able to share the levels with others. The level editor is probably a big step but once the game if fully ironed it could be a cool edition. Other wise great game and hope to see more! (My bad if I was a yapfest) ### 5/5 — good game *2026-05-12, version 1.06* PLEASE MAKE COMET-9 GEM POSSIBLE I SWEAR IT ISNT POSSIBLE but other than that the rest of the game is 10/10 and how new game concepts are introduced is very well implemented ### 5/5 — 100/100 *2026-05-09, version 1.06* Got me to stop doom scrolling also no ads ### 5/5 — Hope this gets updated *2026-05-06* Not gonna lie, I have been hooked on this game for the past few days. The simple controls and high difficulty ceiling make for a great time! I just have one complaint. This game is unfinished. I don’t say this because of the handful of bugs still remaining. I can live with those (still, add Comet-26). I say this because there is potential for so much more content. For starters, you can take the mechanics you already have and invert them. For example, fields where gravity is stronger or rocks that are sticky rather than bouncy. Plus, there’s probably brand new mechanics you could come up with after the fact. All I ask of you is to give me more game! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
