Can someone help me with boss 2? please!!! ### 4/5 — Witzig *2012-04-19* Ganz netter Zeitvertreib, solange man weiß was man machen muss. Ich komme leider beim Raumschiff Boss nicht weiter, kann mir bitte jemand sagen was man da machen muss? ### 4/5 — Boss *2012-01-12, version 1.1* The boss levels are too hard. If you made them easier then this would be one of my favourite apps! ### 4/5 — Everything rocks but boss 8 *2011-10-12, version 1.1* Can you make an update where boss 8 isn't impossible? I've tried a million times and I can't beat it! ### 4/5 — Pretty cool *2011-07-26* I like this app, it's fun and I would say it's worth the money but try the lite version first to make sure you like it. The guy that made this, has only made two apps but they are some of my favorite apps ever! ### 4/5 — Level 8 boss *2011-07-11, version 1.1* How do you beat the level 8 boss??? ### 4/5 — Level 8 boss *2010-11-01, version 0* It's impossible ### 5/5 — Love dis game! *2010-10-07, version 0* I'm am soooo addicted to dis game nd I can't stop playin it it I'm havin trouble beatin boss 2 does anyone know how to? ### 4/5 — Ganz nettes spiel *2010-09-10* Ganz nett...

The graphic are fun, the MS Paint style was utilized very well. The gameplay is simple, the tilt-to-roll is easy to use. The sheer variaty of stages/achievements make good replay value. And the minigames (Like it says in the description.) each match the average $0.99 app. I'de recomend it for anyone looking for a good platformer, with a twist, a gravity twist, You'll love this game. Does anyone know what the boss theme is called? ### 5/5 — Best game EVER *2010-07-09, version 0* So addicting and fun! I recommend it to EVERYONE!! Can someone help me with the level 2 boss though? ### 5/5 — Level6 *2010-07-09, version 0* I can t beat the level six boss help plzz!! ### 5/5 — Bravo *2010-07-05, version 0* This game is rad. The feeling you get when you're replacing industrial junk with the sparkle of nature is hard to describe - totally awesome. I've discovered a gem. The music is killer too! ### 5/5 — (sigh) *2010-06-27, version 0* B E S T . A P P . E V E R . ### 5/5 — Level 6 bosss *2010-06-21, version 0* How do u beat level6 boss?????!!!

It's fun, addicting, colorful, and gets the message out that we need to clean up our earth! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — The power up button doesn’t work. *2019-09-04* Title says it all. ### 1/5 — OMg! Awesome! *2009-10-16, version 0* I love this game so much! So addicting and a great way to kill time. Worth the money. ### 1/5 — Don't waste your money.. *2009-09-14, version 0* Looking at the reviews and the cost I thought this would be a pretty good game..no one would charge 3 bucks for a crappy game..soo wrong..to put it nicely..watching paint dry would provide more entertainment then this game does. Don't waste your time and money..all you do is tilt your device and watch him role up stuff..there goes $3 and 5 minutes I'll never get back.. ### 1/5 — Gut *2009-09-08* Kann mir einer sagen wie man den supermart auf isst bei mir rollt der einfach dran vorbei. Muss man da etwas spezielles machen ### 1/5 — I Don't Get It *2009-09-03, version 0* I bought this app because I liked Trace and it had good reviews. Now I know why Trace was free, so Kevin Calderone could rip us off 3 bucks for this "game". You tilt your iPod and roll around..that's it. It takes the mind capacity of a rock to play this game. Seriously, I could leave my iPod laying on a rock outside and it could play the game for me. Don't waste your time and money on this game, just get Trace. ### 1/5 — Rubbish *2009-08-09, version 0* Very dissapointing. I loved trace but this game has none of trace's fun and addictiveness. This game is very basic, far too easy and quite simply boring. How can this cost money when trace is free?!! Don't buy this. ### 2/5 — Pretty Boring...Really Slow *2009-10-21, version 0* This game has limited entertainment value. You basically just roll around, very slowly i might add, and pick up stuff. Not much point. There are many other games out there that are alot more fun. ### 2/5 — Boring *2009-08-15, version 0* No were near as good as trace, would not recommend until a new update comes out were you can 1. Move faster becaiused the gameplay is so slow which makes it boring 2. Listen to your ipod music (if you try to play it the game music just starts again and 3. Have more challenges and make it more interesting, addicitve and enjoyable. Definately not worth the price as it is, i think that this should be free and trace cost money! ### 3/5 — Gahrr!! *2010-08-12, version 0* This game was my favourite one, until I got to the boss level on the sixth world, which is near impossible, it's so hard! So I totally gave up after loads of trying... I enjoyed the other levels though, they were challenging yet do-able and fun. A skip button or something would be appreciated! :) ### 3/5 — Stuck on world 6 *2010-04-25* This is a great game I'm just stuck on the world 6 boss can someone plz help me I can't find any guides or anything online thankyou! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — This game has haunted me *2024-05-10, version 1.2.9* For I’ve the last decade, I’ve thought fondly of Gomi. It was my favorite app to play, but I made the switch to Android years ago, and never looked back. I did search for it on the Play Store, but alas, no luck. I assumed the game was deleted. Imagine my surprise when 3 years ago in 2021, I was telling my friend with an iPhone about the game, and discovered it was still on the App Store. Cue me asking to buy the game on every one of my iPhone using friends so I could play the game again. No dice. I even emailed Mr. Calderone himself, asking if the game would ever come to the Play Store, again, no luck (Which is completely fair, this dang game is 15+ years old, but a girl can dream). 3 years later, I’m asked if I want a spare iPhone my dad had, since he switched to a new version. I have never said yes quicker. Immediately purchased Gomi, only app on this phone now, but it’s exactly like I remember. Challenging, simple, and addictive. Not kidding when I say I cried the first time I opened the app since around 2012. This will forever stay in my memory. Hopefully this game receives a boost at some point, I really feel others should know about this game, even in 2024. ### 5/5 — Absolute gem of a game! *2022-12-07* This game is so relaxing and epic in its simplicity!!! Clean up the world with Gomi! It’s addictive in the best way :) ### 5/5 — Deceptively simple *2017-08-31* On the surface, Gomi seems like an easy, braindead platformer that does not require any thought. Upon playing the game though, you learn that there is more thinking involved in eating waste than it initially seems. To achieve the achievements for each level, you have to plan how to continuously eat items to get the achievements. However, the boss fights make the game an interesting experience. Unlike many platformers, you mostly have to target weak spots in the boss to beat the boss. There are other boss level scenarios aside from tackling weak points, though, such as stopping a forest fire. The only annoying thing about the boss fights is that even for the multi-phase bosses in the regular mode, there are no check points for each phase of the boss you go through, making the boss fights sometimes be more tedious than fun. The soundtrack of the game is an electronic soundtrack that flows well with the game's simplistic graphics, allowing you to enjoy the experience more. However, Gomi also comes with 8 minigames that unlock as you beat bosses. Gomi's duality as a calming but difficult game surely makes an interesting game, being able to be a good game to play anywhere. ### 5/5 — Boss level help! *2012-07-28, version 1.1* How do you beat boss 5?! ### 5/5 — Great *2012-04-22, version 1.1* This game is great! It's awesome, just like Trace. These are games that you can enjoy no matter how old you are! ### 5/5 —  *2011-08-09, version 1.1* I can't tell how much I am in love with this game. I love gomi and trace so very much I can't even explain how awesome they both are! Those two games are easily my favorite games I have ever played for iPhone. ### 5/5 — Great! Make a Sequel! *2011-04-14, version 1.1* I love this game and was extremely difficult in the boss battles! I love all the different shapes and colors but I wish there were more. MAKE A SEQUEL! ### 5/5 — OMG *2011-03-24, version 1.1* AWESOME ### 5/5 — Love it!!! *2010-11-26, version 0* I absolutely positively without a doubt love this game!!
