Wouldn’t be so bad but some puzzles require precision movement which is nigh impossible! You might succeed after the hundredth attempt! ### 3/5 — Lagging on iPad Air 3rd Gen *2020-10-28, version 1.7* Nice game but I can only assume it’s poorly optimised. ### 4/5 — Good enough *2020-08-20, version 1.7* The game has nice graphics, good sounds. But it’s quite challenging, really hard to control the drone ### 3/5 — Beautiful and F’ing Annoying *2020-07-05, version 1.7* So much thought and beauty has gone into this game but pick a side. Please. Either go with an easy, chilled and aesthetic game or go with a stressful and intense racing against time/fighting monsters game. I wanted the former and swear that the elements that were the latter took my blood pressure to dangerous levels. Having large portions of a game where you’re wandering vast areas, without much happening, interspersed with moments where you want to throw your phone at the wall and kill your pets in frustration isn’t great. I love and hate this game in equal measure. At least I’m not indifferent to it. ### 2/5 — Could be good... *2020-04-11, version 1.7* Could be good but impossible to tell as controller response is absolutely terrible making progress painful at best if not nearly impossible otherwise. Sorry, exercise in frustration and time vacuum on this device at least. (iPad Air2, iOS 10.3) ### 2/5 — Задротам *2020-04-05* Вся сложность игры сводится к борьбе с уебищным управлением и дикой инерционностью персонажа, притом для прохождения требуется маневренность и точность. Ни графика, ни музыка не способны вытянуть игру. Провал ### 4/5 — Nice game.. *2020-03-26, version 1.7* Very good game but some play areas are very large . No proper path is indicated.Sometime it seems to be a very time consuming due to unavailability of path guidance. ### 5/5 — Forma 8 = Another World + Knytt Stories *2020-03-21, version 1.7* Stupendo e ben confezionato. La grafica vettoriale minimale e suggestiva, che mi riporta allo stupore e meraviglia della prima volta che ho giocato Another World su Amiga, e il labirinto intricato a più livelli, pieno di segreti nascosti, che ricorda la serie di Knytt. Un mix perfetto. Avvincente e difficile quanto basta. Complimenti! ### 5/5 — Great Game! *2020-03-20, version 1.7* This is a great game! ### 5/5 — デザインよし操作性よし世界観よし *2020-03-19, version 1.7* 主人公のノロさはこのゲームの根幹のところであり、これが理解できていないならこの世界観を褒めることはできない。それなのに世界観はいいが主人公がノロいので面白くない。とレビューしている人は本当にこのゲームの世界観を見てレビューをしてたのではなく、全く別の何かを見てレビューをしてたのでは？君の後ろにいる幽霊とか？(名推理) 軽率な批判はただ嫌な気持ちにさせるだけなので、主人公のノロさで面白くないと思うなら、世界観は褒めず、ゲームそのものを否定してください。 ### 5/5 — Juegazo *2020-03-18, version 1.7* No duden en bajarlo es uno de los mejores metroidvanias para IOS mis felicitaciones a los desarrolladores 👍🏽 ### 2/5 — Horrible controls *2020-03-17, version 1.7* I quickly got frustrated with the on-screen controls, so I pulled out my Xbox controller in hopes that it would help. A little, but not enough to make it playable. ### 5/5 — .. *2020-03-16* Это шедевр,жду продолжения ### 3/5 — Metroid-Vania apparently means something new *2020-03-15, version 1.7* I guess in a sense this has a Metroid-Vania root, but after a while I just got a bit bored. Its not a bad game, and its not complicated, but I feel its a bit boring. Its absolutely gorgeous to look at, and obviously a lot of time and effort was put into it. My over all take was this: Youre a floating robot, floating around inside this planet, blowing stuff up. You dodge lava and a few obstacles, float here and there and do the thing... Slowly. Im not sure the point, or the story and maybe for some thats cool, but for me I need a bit less open endedness. Even games like Ico and Shadow of the Colusus, or even Brightridge have a bit more of a point in directive -- even if that directive is "look around and enjoy". Its pretty, its slow, its kind of interesting... but not interesting enough for me to keep on my mobile. Thanks for the offering! ### 5/5 — Immersivo *2020-03-15, version 1.7* Gioco davvero fatto bene, coinvolgente ed accattivante. Lo consiglio ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Сложная *2023-02-25* Игра скучная, сложная, не интересная, короче шляпа ### 1/5 — 거미같이 생긴놈에서 막힌지 한달 째.. *2020-07-03, version 1.7* 얘는 어떻게 죽여야 하나... ### 1/5 — Yön yanlış *2020-05-01, version 1.7* Sol el ile oynanan oyun mu olur, yönü tamamen ters ### 1/5 — Poor controll *2020-04-22, version 1.7* Left sided movement control, no option to change it to right sided. And movement is frustrating and unresponsive. No direction and boring. ### 1/5 — Провал *2020-03-24* Более убогого управления представить практически невозможно, это самое идиотское решение из всего что мне довелось встречать. Наслаждайтесь ### 1/5 — Awful *2020-03-12, version 1.7* A tragic failure: strong art direction rendered intolerable by perversely unpleasant controls. A better case for the need for independent play testing and QA one could not imagine. Could easily have been great, but cannot currently be recommended. ### 1/5 — Drunk Avatar *2020-03-06, version 1.7* If you enjoy being frustrated out of your mind with an avatar that is not controllable and mindlessly meanders on the screen when you are trying to complete a timed sequence that requires precision - than this game is for you! Unfortunately it’s more likely you will give up early in the game and wonder why game designers are clueless to what makes a game an enjoyable past time. Good luck - ### 1/5 — Aburrido, lento y sin objetivo *2019-01-20, version 1.7* Te acabas perdiendo en laberintos vacíos sin sentido en los que no hay nada que hacer.. el control tiene una respuesta con mucho lag y el movimiento muy lento. Muy decepcionado con la compra. ### 1/5 — Awful *2018-11-25, version 1.7* This is just awful and a complete waste of money - totally frustrating- there is a really problematic incompatibility between the precision and speed needed to complete the puzzles and the mushy controls - so I’ve given up. ### 1/5 — Not worth it!!! *2018-11-01, version 1.6* Had it for a week now. To hard to control the movements of Character ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Шедевр *2025-01-17* Лучшая игра, в которую я играл. Прошёл два раза. ### 5/5 — 💯 *2021-04-13, version 1.7* This game is really beautiful! It took me forever to find all the artefacts, and the ending was a bit abrupt, but weighing that against the hours of entertaining gameplay, I think it’s fair. The controls are nice and the world is very detailed. I’d definitely recommend it. ### 5/5 — Good game *2020-09-02, version 1.7* Game looks and plays nice. Controls are good. Very decent game moved to mobile platform. I would personally drop the word “GO” from name as it implies this version of the game is inferior to others ones. From what I saw it’s a full experience. ### 5/5 — Nice controller support *2020-04-29, version 1.7* Good game ### 5/5 — Beautiful, really beautiful. *2020-04-09, version 1.7* An absolutely beautiful game with chilly visuals, nostalgic soundtrack and challenging puzzles. I really, really love it. God bless ### 5/5 — Don’t listen to the bad reviews! *2020-04-02, version 1.7* I think this app is absolutely amazing. You are dragged into a world where you need to figure out a way to get to the next place. You use a cute little robot thing to get around and you find the ghosts of other things like you to get more powers. For all the reviews which say ‘why are the controls on the left side?’. Well, think about all the games which use the left side of the screen to move: Minecraft, Roblox... So why is it this the one that gets targeted? The only thing that I would change is you can make your character be a narrator and tell you sort of what you are doing and where you are trying to get to. Other than that it is amazing. Wow I literally just wrote a full essay paragraph. I’m proud of myself. :/ :) ### 5/5 — People are dumb *2020-03-26, version 1.7* Guys don’t listen to those people from years ago, this game is amazing look at my channel Dark Moez to see more. ### 5/5 — What a game.Best one ever seen. *2020-03-25, version 1.7* Please develop more games like this.Awesome sound ,smooth gameplay,worth spending time on.Need some more titles like this one! Just woooow.🖤 ### 5/5 — !!!! KESİNLİKLE İNDİR !!!! *2020-03-23, version 1.7* İlk defa bir oyuna yorum yapıyorum. Macera, strateji ve refleks hepsini bir arada bulacağınız efsane bir yapım olmuş. Basit bir oyun sanmıştım ama karşıma çok akıllıca tasarlanmış bir çalışma çıktı. Bitmesini istemeyeceğiniz ve yeterince de uzun bir oyun. Ücretsiz olması bile beni şaşırttı. Gerçekten akıl zorluyor:D ### 5/5 — Top game *2020-03-23, version 1.7* What is wrong with people. This is a fantastic game, easy to control and great looking. You move the craft with your left hand on the left side of the screen and activate abilities with your right hand on the right side of the screen. It’s not rocket science. Great visuals, challenging gameplay, easy controls. Give it a whirl! And it’s free!
