### 2/5 — I hate this game

*2026-06-10, version 1.14*

I need to stop playing these type of games, they piss me off and I’ve broken a phone because of it. I hate this game and I, for some reason keep coming back to it even though I hate it.

### 5/5 — Good game but

*2026-05-10, version 1.14*

You have made many creations of hatred

### 5/5 — pain and suffering

*2026-05-08, version 1.14*

thank you bennett foddy.

### 5/5 — I finally beat it

*2026-04-25, version 1.14*

This game was awesome and I can’t believe I beat it already. Please make a sequel.

### 3/5 — No controller support 😔

*2026-04-10, version 1.14*

Amazing game. So fun to work out. But no controller sucks so bad. Touching the screen constantly in such a finicky control style is terrible compared to a joystick!

### 5/5 — Controls and Port Review

*2026-04-08, version 1.14*

I’m writing this review to answer some of the questions I had before I purchased this game for iOS. 

Controls: The controls did take some time to get used to, and I did have to adjust the sensitivity slider a bit so that it worked the way I wanted it to. But I was able to get it all working rather well within just a few minutes of messing around with the settings and experimenting.

Difficulty: This game is naturally hard, but to give you an idea of how the iOS port is compared to the mobile: I have over 50 wins on PC and can usually do a run within 10-15 min. On this port for iOS it took me 24 min and 37 seconds for my first completion on mobile. That includes the time it took to mess around with getting used to the touch screen controls and adjusting the sensitivity.

Run notes: I’d say the only really troubling part for me on my first run on mobile was trying to do the bucket with touch screen controls. Everything else was pretty smooth sailing. 

Graphics quality: Not quite as good as on pc, but still a great port for mobile. As of 2026 this game looks pretty good even on an iPhone.

Overall game / port review:
This app is absolutely worth the $5 and I will probably end up getting 50+ wins here too. It’s a great game and it’s nice to be able to pick up and play for a few minutes here and there to make a little more progress on your run. 
Fantastic work to the developers who ported this game to iOS, and of course to Bennett Foddy who created such a beautiful game to begin with. Hats off to you all! See you at the top.

### 5/5 — Absolute amazing project.

*2026-04-05, version 1.14*

After 4 hours of work, I’ve beaten this amazing creation. The sheer emotion put into this is unbearable. I almost cried at the end. Thank you, Bennet Foddy, for making this incredible creation. I definitely wrote this all myself guys!

Sincerely, LPorsomething.

### 2/5 — To hard

*2026-04-04, version 1.14*

The platforming difficult the sensitivity not right thus making it very hard

### 5/5 — I’m probably never going to touch this game again

*2026-02-25, version 1.14*

This game, genuinely, made me want to do bad things to myself. But the more I played, the more I learned from my mistakes and pushed forward. I eventually got it drilled in my head that’s it’s just a game, and I need to, well, get over it. Gameplay wise, it’s great. While playing I experienced no lag, no problems,  nothing. It’s a perfect 1:1 port with the PC version I’ve seen people play. Thank you Bennett for solving my anger issues, but also go screw yourself.

### 4/5 — controller support

*2026-02-22, version 1.14*

### 5/5 — I already love this game

*2026-02-19, version 1.14*

### 1/5 — Bad

This game so trash I every play with my life do not made this again bad

### 1/5 — This games design is bad

*2025-11-24, version 1.14*

The character won’t keep his arm straight to make the big momentum jumps and there’s no UI to let you know how hard it needs to be swung or anything, on an iphone it’s near impossible and complete waste of money.

### 1/5 — Worst game on phone

*2025-11-24, version 1.14*

The game is dosent even work on the phone the input of the hammer is too uncontrollable
