### 2/5 — Needs support for new iPad screen.

*2020-12-04, version 1.2*

As per title - this is a great game but really needs updating to be playable on new iPad Pro 2020 without black borders around the display. Please update it if possible.

### 4/5 — teuer für ein handy spiel aber

*2020-02-22*

echt gut. sogar splitscreen möglich.

### 3/5 — great but

*2018-08-31, version 1.1.9*

add iphone x support!

### 4/5 — Music will cut out at will

*2018-05-31*

At some points during game play the games music will stop. Please fix this

### 3/5 — Обновите

*2018-02-23*

Все бы ничего , но лучше бы сделали экран под iPhone X

### 2/5 — 他のランニングゲームと比較して

*2017-12-23*

人を選ぶのではと思います。

BARRIERX等にどハマりしたので、同ジャンルのゲームを探してこちらを購入しました。
習熟すればとは思いますが、習熟するまでが苦痛です。正直投げたいです。楽しむはずがイライラしてしまいました。
それと操作キャラクターの声を選べたり消したりできたらもっといいかと思います。若いキャラ(?)の声だけ消したかったのですが、その他のFXまで消えてしまうので少し不満が残りました。
サウンドトラックはアゲアゲのダンスチューン的なものではなく、エレクトロニカ？的なものでした。

色々凝っているとは思いますが、お金を払ってまでやるゲームではなかったと感じました。

### 5/5 — Un bijoux.

*2017-12-06*

Les graphismes de ce jeu sont absolument divin et hypnotisant. 
La musique qui accompagne est tout autant envoûtante. 
C’est un jeu de course infini proposant 3 mode. Un mode arcade composer de 8 niveaux époustouflants proposant chacun deux difficultés. C’est peu, mais les deux autres modes; Infinie et Deux joueurs rajoutent une sacrée durée de vie au jeu.

À acheter les yeux fermer pour les personnes voulant voyager dans un monde hypnotique avec ce jeu de course infini à la première personne.

### 4/5 — “Mirrored Score” Option Needed!!

*2017-11-09*

I installed the game earlier today and by golly is it fun. Me being a fan of games like Super Hexagon, WaveWave, and Boson X, this game is almost a dream come true! One thing that really bugs me, however, is that the timer and score at the bottom of the screen are hidden if you use your right hand to play! If the devs could put an option to swap the score and timers to the left side, that would make this game even more awesome than it is.

### 5/5 — Разработчики, примите к сведению! Отличная игра!

*2017-11-08*

Игра просто великолепная, отлично заходит под мяу!) Но очень сложно, после 5 уровня в аркаде, придумайте что нибудь пожалуйста, чтобы были видны границы, где обрывается трасса. А то неимоверно сложно и глаза ужасно напрягаются! В целом 10/10! Но пожалуйста, учтите замечания, и я не один об этом говорю!)

### 2/5 — 구매취소합니다

*2017-11-03*

실수로 구매했습니다 구매취소합니다

### 5/5 — 무한달리기

*2017-11-03*

1인칭으로 달리는 느낌이 너무 좋아요! 그래픽도 멋지구여

### 3/5 — Not worth money

*2017-10-28*

The description really gave me high expectations of the game. It’s really not worth the money. Maybe I’m used to different controls. It’s still a pretty cool game, but I definitely wouldn’t spend money on it. The controls are hard(didn’t play much, but if you like simple controls like me you wouldn’t like it) and the description really made it sound amazing. I’ve had other games like this, FOR FREE, except they weren’t first person and the controls are easy.

### 4/5 — Great game want a Apple TV version

*2017-10-28*

Great game and I have bought the game now twice. Since the other version I bought is on a console that doesn’t exist anymore I want a Apple TV version so I can play on my TV as well

### 5/5 — game is amazing, I have a color hack too!

*2017-10-28*

So I literally just got this game to help out with my insomnia based off the simplicity of the design and animation type. So far I love it and the music is super relaxing, you can also play your own if you prefer that. 

The color hack I used was simple and it doesn’t require what your phone doesn’t already have. I use this also just to change the mood of my phone. Lol add smart contrast and reduce white point and you’ll have a dope looking color scheme for all Apple stock apps.

For this game Go to settings>general>accessibility>display accommodations[turn it on]>color filters>turn the intensity up> then change the hue to whatever color options you like. Once that’s done go back to the game and the white lines will now be filled with the hue that you chose for your phone.

Quick tip:
Enable accessibility shortcuts and triple tapping will make this so much faster to turn on and off once the hue is set.

Hope you guys enjoy this game as much as I do! 

P.s- I’m thinking about doing a vlog on live app reviews using the new screen recording feature in the new iOS 11 update. Let me know if you enjoy this tip!

### 5/5 — Очень крутая игра!!!

### 1/5 — Unrefundable

*2017-11-01*

Unrefundable

### 1/5 — I wanted an endless runner

*2016-10-18*

The endless mode is the only one I tried but it totally blows.

### 1/5 — Gameplay is sorely lacking

*2015-09-12, version 1.1.6*

The graphics are cool, and it's hard to tell what's happening in the preview. So I bought the game. Turns out nothing it happening in the preview. Graphics look promising but all you do is run straight forward and jump. No turns, no interacting with the cool geometry. It's really flat gameplay and boring as hell. There should be other directions to move and more dynamic interaction with surroundings. I'm surprised by the high rating for this game. Very disappointed that I spent $3. Now I'm reading more of the reviews and... Guess what Apple. It's clear that the developers have paid for 5 star reviews. So now you have the problem that Amazon has, 5-star reviews can't be trusted ever.

### 1/5 — Waste of money

*2015-08-05, version 1.1.6*

This game looked amazing so I got it..... It was a waste of money. 

First of all I'm not sure if this is happening with everyone else but when I jump the character just falls of the edge so I have to jump like 5 minutes before the edge. Which is annoying, it also keeps crashing a lot and I can't get very far. It was just a waste of money.

### 1/5 — Not so good

*2015-04-18, version 1.1.6*

I have had the worst experience with this app. I don't like to be mean but I have never been able to play the game because the app loads, glitches, and then just closes out of the app all by its self. It is really starting to get on my nerves because it seems like it would be a really good app but I cant figure that out because it glitches! I would give this app a five star but how would i do that if this app never works!?

### 1/5 — Netter Ansatz, aber komplett verbuggt

*2015-01-02*

Das Spiel ist im Moment absolut unfertig und sein Geld nicht wert. Es stürzt regelmäßig ab, vorallem in den Arcade Levels, der Sound fällt ab und zu aus und man kriegt ihn nur mit einem Neustart der App wieder, wenn man das Spiel horizontal öffnet ist das Menü verbuggt und verzerrt, und nur der halbe Bildschirm wird genutzt. Sollten alle diese Probleme behoben werden kann man es kaufen, ein solider bis etwas ungenauer endless runner mit interessantem Stil, aktuell ist es aber eine Katastrophe.

### 5/5 — Jeu sublime

*2025-07-04*

J’aime beaucoup ce jeu dommage qu’il n’y ai pas eu de nouvelles après tant d’années, en tous cas j’ai passé de bonne heures a y jouer merci beaucoup au développeurs!

### 5/5 — トリップ系ランゲーム

*2024-01-21*

すごいゲームです。ランゲームでここまで没入感を感じるゲームはありませんでした。ジャンプの踏み切りは早めがいいというコツを掴めず足踏みしてましたが、わかってくれば加速、急下降と素晴らしい音楽・演出の中で何度も挑むのが楽しいです。ただそれでも結構難しい。難しくても楽しい。
主観視点のシンプルなランゲームですがこれは特別。好みの分かれるセンスかもしれませんが、アクションが好きなら試してみてほしい。ジャンプ時の浮遊感、加速し続けた時の視界が黄金に見える演出など、とにかく走って気持ちよくなれる。この高揚感はクセになる。

### 5/5 — Цвет

*2023-12-09*

Игра супер, но очень не вписывается жёлтый свет, а так игра супер! Только цена большевата.

### 5/5 — Beautifully crafted running game

*2022-06-13*

Not overly complicated which actually adds to its charm and game value. Perfect for its genre.

### 5/5 — The best mobile game I’ve ever played

*2020-01-25*

I first found this game when the Ouya was new, and from the point of view of someone who can never find a good mobile game to play, I’ve bought this on at least 3 different platforms, and should it eventually reach console, I’ll most likely buy it there too. I don’t know what it is about this game that is so addicting, but the ‘70s score-centered type of gameplay, combined with the high speeds you’d only experience drifting the touges of Mt. Akina, while still keeping the aesthetic of the game very simple yet very informative of what is happening around you... it’s something I have yet to experience through any medium. This game is a blessing, yet a curse - a reminder of what no other game has ever strived to achieve and probably never will again.

### 5/5 — Neat

*2019-08-12, version 1.2*

‘Tis great but challenging I LOVE IT I was searching the millions of thousands of games on iOS I was looking for something like this it’s not just for adults anyone can try this but ‘tis not free

### 5/5 — Amazing game

*2019-07-12, version 1.2*

Love this game so much. You need to learn the correct paths to get all the orbs to score high.  Can be very stressful to get high scores.

### 5/5 — 구매춰소

*2018-04-19*

실수로 구매 눌렀는데 취소 부탁드립니다

### 5/5 — Good fun, good game!

*2018-03-05, version 1.1.9*

I play 2 player mode by myself for an extra challenge! Don’t listen to that designer geek’s bad review on this game, I’m a lot better at designing than he is and this game rocks. I’ve played this on & off for probably over a year now. Good fun, good game.

### 5/5 — Phenomenal

*2018-02-08*

The very simplistic art style combined with the relaxing music adds an element thats essential to indie runner games. Very nice
