### 4/5 — Divertido

*2023-08-27*

O jogo é bom. Unica chatice é ter que ver add para salvar o checkpoint.

### 4/5 — Pretty good game!

*2022-05-08*

I like the simple controls & enjoy the gameplay.
Fun, yet still challenging.

To be honest, this is more enjoyable than the similar Hellrider 2 & the more Subway Surfers style Hellrider 3.

I’ll stick with this, the original Hellrider - if that’s OK?

This is trash you can’t even move your character

### 1/5 — Don’t get this game

*2022-01-12*

The game is so dead.. I bet all the people who rated it 5 stars are people who helped make the game.

### 1/5 — Wouldn't move

*2016-10-26, version 3*

All the instructions says is to tap to change movement
No amount of tapping changed it.
Just kept veering off screen

### 1/5 — iPad problem?

### 5/5 — Neat free game

*2016-10-29*

If you're ever bored this can be a great time waster. It's just tapping, but the timing has to be perfect. It's super responsive so you never feel like the game cheated you.
I love the animation and graphics, it's so nice to look at. 
The music's okay- not super obnoxious but I could do without it.
It's fun though, and free!
