### 1/5 — Error

*2026-03-03, version 1.6.3*

error while playing tutorial so many time

### 1/5 — Last boss, really?

*2026-01-26, version 1.6.3*

Thru the game I want to give a 4 stars, but final boss, oh, that thing get me angry and doesn't fit to style what is thru the whole game. I stopped playing it and buy second game with no chance. Completely ruined the game and the feeling from it.

### 3/5 — Controller Support Please

*2026-01-19, version 1.6.3*

I’m late to the game with this on mobile.  You would think that a game today would have controller support. On one hand, it looks to be a pretty old game (all things considered), on the other hand, an update could have been added.

### 5/5 — Thank God

*2025-11-27, version 1.6.3*

Thank God
Finally an actual game.
I'm so sick "idle" games and all the garbage on mobile.
This might not be the best game ever but it's better than 99% of the slop that's out there now.

BTW
There's no such thing as an idle game, if you're idle you're not playing a game, you're watching a cartoon.

### 1/5 — Glitch early on

*2025-11-03, version 1.6.3*

I remembered enjoying this one, but not finishing it, so I circled back. Sadly, I can’t get past the first area. The chest for Free Movement is missing. Will keep an eye out for an update with a fix.

### 4/5 — タイトルの通りゲームの進化を感じれる

*2025-11-03*

モノクロからカラーになって、2Dから3Dになって…実際に触れてきた世代には「そうそうこんな感じだった」と思わせる作りに感心しました。
あと当時のゲームのパクリでは無くオマージュがたくさんあり、あのゲームじゃん！という事がたくさんありました。
そしてしっかり当時の悪いところも経験させてくれるので、「そうそう、そうだったよね…だるっ」となることまで含めて、大変面白い作品だと思いました。

### 3/5 — Please add controller support

*2025-10-03, version 1.6.3*

I really want to play this on the go with a controller.

### 5/5 — Audio issues

*2025-09-23, version 1.6.3*

This isn’t that big of an issue but whenever I try to play the game the audio for the sound effects and music is skip every few seconds. I’ve played this game on mobile before in the past years ago and that was never a thing. Now it is and it’s very distracting. Please fix.

### 3/5 — .

*2025-09-23*

Задумка интересная. В начале прям нравилось. Финальный босс кривой не понятно в какую сторону будет идти по кругу. Перемещение по карте иногда раздражало тем. что через каждые несколько секунд натыкался на врагов.

### 5/5 — Very good game. Fantastic start

*2025-07-31, version 1.6.3*

I played the game start to finish and hit every achievement and think it was great. For a bit I got the movement bug that a lot of people were talking about but it wasn’t game breaking and went away eventually. I am very much looking forward to Evoland 2!
