### 5/5 — I ABSOLUTELY love it!

It’s a great endless jumper, I found this indie game from the developers and got hooked! -Harry

### 1/5 — Terrible.

*2017-04-25, version 2.6*

Absolutely terrible. Just an app to justify ads.

### 4/5 — Read

*2017-04-10*

Great game idea but completely and utterly ruined by ads, and don't skip over this review thinking its just another guy moaning about ads. The ads make the game nearly unplayable. Banners and such I don't mind, but half of the time when you die, a delayed ad pops up over the retry option so you are continuously being redirected to the App Store looking at some crappy app that you have no interest in at all. And this is no infrequent event. The game is not the easiest and until you get the hang of it you can expect to be double tapping that home button and switching back to the app several times per minute. Sort it out get rid of stupid pop up ads in games. We all hate them and I have taken to specifically ignoring anything that is advertised in this way regardless of whether I would have liked the app or not. If it's a pop up image redirect, then I'm not supporting it, and you shouldn't either. Our media is being populated with evermore intrusive and irritating ads, and we shouldn't have to put up with it.

Edit: Developer response. Wow I totally forgot about this review. I am sure the ads in question were just from a buggy version of the game. I am not opposed to ads in general as I understand the need to make money from free games. It was just the intrusive and involuntary nature of the ads in question that was so irritating. I shall update my rating. Thanks for the response.

**Developer response:** Thanks Camderman for your passionate review. You're right and we agree that ads suck and need to perform better if they're going to stay. We're working with our ad partners on this, who we need to work with in order to financially support the game, our lives, our families, and keep our jobs.
The ads should never be accidental clicks and we have since released an update fixing this.
Thanks again for your review, and keep up the good fight, we'll keep it up on our side too.
