Overall sentiment: positive **Pros** - 👍 Great challenge - 👍 Simple but engaging - 👍 Fun and replayable - 👍 Well-made pixel art and music - 👍 Honest indie project **Cons** - 🐛 Camera cuts off runes on newer phones - 🐛 Screen doesn't flip when rotated - 🐛 Inconsistent enemy hitboxes **Commonly reported bugs** - Difficulty for color-blind players **Most requested features** - Option to move runes to right side of screen - Enemy/item descriptions ## Newest reviews (13 of 32) ### 5/5 — I love this game *2025-01-12, version 41 - 1.0.3* Fire ### 5/5 — Flip device? *2025-01-10, version 41 - 1.0.3* Hi, I like to play landscape games with the iphone notch on the right side, but the game won’t flip with the screen and will stay upside down. Was wondering if you could fix this, ty ❤️ ### 5/5 — A fun game in need of a few small adjustments *2025-01-10, version 41 - 1.0.3* The pixel art and music are well made, and the linear progression in turn adds depth as new enemies require new inputs to take down, it’s fun, easy on the battery, and isn’t greedy, a very honest solo indie project. My complaints are small as they don’t have anything to do with the gameplay experience, but some added UX features could really help the player experience. Firstly, on new-ish phones the camera cuts off where the runes are, it makes them very hard to tap, and the screen does not flip when rotated, I have no experience with mobile game development, so I’m not sure if you ‘control’ the way the screen flips depending upon the orientation of the phone, but if that could be enabled; or the addition of a setting to move the runes to the right side of the screen, that would be appreciated. I would also recommend some kind of description box for each enemy or item, I know sometimes there are pop ups describing what an enemy does, but I spent a few runs jumping over boxes before I realized they gave coins, brief descriptions would help players better understand unlocked enemies/obstructions/items. Outside of those things, this is an incredibly well-made game! ### 5/5 — Nice little game *2025-01-10, version 41 - 1.0.3* Pretty nice little game, I don’t know why it has so many one star reviews, but it’s good, especially for just being made by one person in their free time. And the person complaining able not being able to play because of color blindness, I mean, do you really expect this game to have colorblind options? I wouldn’t expect that, this game isn’t made to cater to specifically you, and it’s just one dev working on this little mobile game in his free time, what do you expect? ### 5/5 — Fun *2025-01-10, version 41 - 1.0.3* Pretty solid, fun game ### 5/5 — yeah *2025-01-09, version 41 - 1.0.3* haven't played yet but that color blind person made me mad so you deserve 5 stars ### 5/5 — Challenging free game *2025-01-09, version 41 - 1.0.3* I never understand what people have against a game that is not easy. You have made a great game here and visually I can see everything just fine, so I don’t get the first review saying they just can’t see it. Now this game is hard and I am certain the dev knows that. it requires time to get used to when to swipe and then it just becomes a memorization of what troop does what/moves how they do. As free games go, you can’t go wrong with this one and I highly recommend a download to try it! ### 5/5 — Fun game, hope to see continued development! *2025-01-09, version 41 - 1.0.3* Reminds me of other side scrolling runners, but the unique combat and art style really sets it apart. The effort for this game really shows! ### 5/5 — Good job! *2025-01-09, version 41 - 1.0.3* don’t listen to the haters, you are gonna become big someday. I haven’t played much but it’s fun. Good luck!. I love the graphics! ### 5/5 — Difficult, But Interesting Runner *2025-01-08, version 40 - 1.0.2* The art is really amazing in this game, and the creator clearly put a lot into it. There are a few small issues (typos, bugs), but nothing major. Very cool concept! ### 5/5 — wow. *2024-12-27* honestly? im mind blown. this game toes the line between satisfying and frustrating so beautifully. kinda surprised there aren’t other reviews, seeing how lovely this is. keep going, dev! know that i’m on your side, if a stranger’s vote of confidence means anything! ### 5/5 — Probablement pas assez claire *2024-12-25* Le jeu est cool même si l’interface n’es probablement pas assez clair ou intuitif mais les potentiel est la donc je mes 5 étoile ### 5/5 — Quite addicting *2024-12-22, version 40 - 1.0.2* Really enjoying this game, great way to kill a little time! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Deuteranopes may struggle *2025-01-05, version 40 - 1.0.2* Sadly the color palette makes even the practice area next to impossible for me as I can’t see the enemies. ### 1/5 — Bad Game *2025-01-04* This is the worst game i have played, it’s very difficult to understand the mechanics and the hole game doesn’t make any sense so pleas don’t download this game and safe your time downloading it. ### 2/5 — Lost potential *2025-06-21, version 43 - 1.0.5* It sounded promising but the mechanic of the game is boring and not well implemented. You basically run towards static enemies (that may change later, I donno) and swipe. Swiping works horrible because you either don’t see your character or don’t see enemy because of their size and placement. I deleted it after 15mins of playing. 2 stars for some artwork. ### 2/5 — Fun but… *2024-12-23* It’s pretty fun and I like the overall feel of the game. However I stopped playing mainly because of the music. No shade to the developer, but I really can’t stand it ### 3/5 — It was too repetitive at the start *2025-11-30, version 43 - 1.0.5* With the villagers and foot soldiers, all I had to do was look at some red arrows and swipe in that direction. Not fun. ### 3/5 — Plz keep working on this *2024-12-28* Its a good game, but it needs work on things like the runes menu, hitboxes (the challenger is completely broken), sound effects for the monsters and details like the animation of the up and down attack (the character seems to stop his feet but keeps going). Nice game, make it even better. ### 4/5 — Game is very fun and simple *2025-01-09, version 41 - 1.0.3* The game is very fun and easy to get the hang of. It’s a fun game to play whenever I have some time to pass, the only complaint is some times the hitboxes seem to vary so one foot soldier will have a smaller hitbox than another ### 5/5 — great endless runner *2025-10-16, version 43 - 1.0.5* it’s really satisfying to defeat and master the ever increasing roster of enemies in the game as i progress ### 5/5 — Good simple game *2025-06-18, version 43 - 1.0.5* First time writing a review but I think this dude deserves it, simple but always nice to play ### 5/5 — amazing *2025-06-11, version 43 - 1.0.5* omg i love it so much, so simple but complex! i would love if there was an option to invert the y-controls because i want to slash down on the top of someone or slash up under them. amazing game regardless!! ## Most praised reviews (7 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Really good and not p2w *2025-04-24, version 43 - 1.0.5* Genuinely fun and bare minimum ads. Also if you want to completely remove ads and get a bunch of benefits there is a one time 4 dollar payment and it is the only payment in game ### 5/5 — Great Challenge *2025-02-05, version 43 - 1.0.5* So many mobile games at this point are just too easy for me. It gets boring. I love the challenge of this game and how difficult it is. And the art. I love a good pixel art game and this one is amazing. The game is simple and easy to pick up. Respect to the guy that made this. Keep up the work brother ### 5/5 — Incredible Game, Challenging but Fair, Little Short *2025-01-25, version 42 - 1.0.4* I found this game when I was bored and strolling through the App Store, and expected a cheap, ad filled game, but was pleasantly surprised. While difficult at times, especially the third boss, this game is tons of fun and one ad every 7 deaths is incredibly fair for a free to play game. The controls take some getting used to, but once you get the hang of it the timing starts to feel very natural. Overall I really enjoyed the game and hope you add more enemies and bosses to the game, as I think learning the new enemies and challenging yourself with the boss fights is the best part of the game. One small criticism is the flash effect when you kill the reviving skeleton enemy, I understand it is used to make the enemy more challenging but I found it very annoying and made it my least favourite enemy. ### 5/5 — Simple but good *2025-01-21, version 42 - 1.0.4* I actually enjoyed this game. It’s simplistic but the game engages you to keep focus. As you level up the game becomes harder and more intense ### 5/5 — Fun challenging game *2025-01-20, version 42 - 1.0.4* It’s an endless runner. You swipe the screen with the right timings and you don’t die. Simple but fun and replayable as you aim to beat your previous attempt and unlock new things. ### 5/5 — It’s a game *2025-01-20, version 42 - 1.0.4* It a game have gotten to far ### 5/5 — Potential *2025-01-14* Pretty fun and challenging game. There are still some things to improve though: 1. Don’t push ads by death count but instead by time because new players die a lot and get too much ads or at least give new players a time like 20 minutes where they get no ads at all to not scare them away. 2. If you play in airplane mode or without wifi the game breaks because the ads cant load and you can’t exit the game over menu. **Developer response:** Thanks for playing and bringing up the offline mode thing. It's that way because ads take time to load and people would jump straight in to a game and I didn't want ads interrupting the players next run. Ill find a solution for the next patch. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
