### 4/5 — Didn’t expect the high quality

*2026-06-08*

This was spending. The intrigue, the cool art and level design all were phenomenal. Couldn’t ask for more in a free game.

### 3/5 — The hardness of the game ruins the horror aspect

*2024-12-29*

Ive beaten the game and the extra level you get at the end. Its a decent game but with the insane hard jumps, it makes the player more competitive than scared from the actual game.

### 4/5 — My game was soft locked.

*2024-07-24, version 4.4*

I played this game three times. The in-game manual was a nice touch, and it helped me win the game in try #3. The twist was interesting, and the main loop of the runner and the platformer is novel.

In my first try, I, being an unknowing fool, double clicked at the all desktop photographs of Mayumi’s life.

To look at them. Y’know, what you do to photos.

It turns out that looking at the pictures causes them to vanish. 

They also generate a bridge that you MUST use to advance through the game.  You only find this bridge after going through multiple stages.

In #2 I looked at one. Then only that photo was removed.

This seems like a malicious feature. I had to replay repeatedly because of this.

Why did you do this? 
It seems to be an unkind feature that adds a game breaking impact to an innocuous activity, and gives no way to recover from something you did 1+ hours ago.

### 3/5 — Caverns too difficult

*2024-06-09, version 4.4*

The caverns are just not fun to play though and the part the the spiked cubes fall is way to 
Annoying to deal with

### 4/5 — I only rated it 5 stars because....

*2023-11-01, version 4.3*

Could you pls fix the Story Mode Level 1 where you need to get the other buildings closer so i can jump??

### 5/5 — It’s way too underrated!

*2023-09-15*

The only problem I had was with the English translations coming out a tad wonky. Besides that, there was nothing wrong with this game at all! I especially love playing the first mode, it’s my favorite. While it is hard, it is possible to unlock each level over time. 

I originally downloaded it with my friend in my first year of high school because we got bored on the bus and wanted horror stories, we ended up with something even better

### 3/5 — Jump

*2023-08-05, version 4.3*

On the second level the gap on the big gap is too huge to be able to get to the other side, I’ve tried it multiple times and timed it and it still wouldn’t let me over

### 5/5 — Супер

*2023-06-03, version 4.3*

Сюжет 10/10 
Геймплей 10/10 
Всё остальное 10/10
Одна из лучших игр на смартфоны. Рекламы мало, из доната только убрать рекламу, игра полная, есть бесконечный режим в котором мы зарабатываем патроны для основной игры, игра сложная

Вывод: быстро скачай эту игру и наслаждайся

### 4/5 — Great game but I’m stuck and I wish there were more hints in the game

*2023-05-11*

I’m at the beginning of the game I think and I’m stuck at the part where we have to shoot a jaguar escaping and climbing around a block There is an admin note saying “shoot to defeat the monster” but no matter how much I shoot it won’t die

### 5/5 — Perfection

*2023-03-18, version 4.3*

Horror at its finest

### 5/5 — Great horror title

*2023-01-11*

I just love a good pixelated horror game, especially ones that don’t only do jumps scares, but send chills down my spine.
I really like all other games made by y’all too, keep up. The good work.
Just fix up a couple bugs, is really all I could say

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for the kind words! More games soon!

### 3/5 — Please add controller support

*2023-01-09, version 4.3*

I love this game so much but it would be so much better if it had controller support!

### 5/5 — Highly Recommend! Worth your time!!!!

*2022-03-30*

This game is challenging, rewarding, and fun! The story is interesting and curious. I’ve played the previous games and this game is just another banger!

**Developer response:** Awesome! Thanks for playing the games. Another game is coming soon!

### 1/5 — E bun jocul

*2025-11-20, version 4.4*

Mult prea bun dar iar exagerați cu nivelurile

### 1/5 — Snake part unnecessary asf

*2024-01-28, version 4.4*

Stop making chokepoints in your game, make the game itself hard

### 1/5 — ads

*2020-11-30, version 4.0*

the stupid ads or annoying

### 1/5 — lazy

*2020-08-05, version 4.0*

just a cash grab for ads till the next real game shows up. disappointing.

### 1/5 — Très décevant

*2020-06-18, version 3.8*

Le jeu ne contient aucun bouton pour couper le son du jeu ce qui ne vous permet pas de jouer en écoutant de la musique. Dès que vous échouez dans le jeu, une cinématique se lance et vous ne pouvez pas la skip, elle dure trop longtemps et vous dit des banalités... l’expérience de jeu n’est pas folle enfin bref je ne vous recommande pas d’y jouer il n’est pas top

### 1/5 — Error en la aplicación

*2020-06-17*

Me ha saltado error al iniciar muchas veces y cuando he decidido borrarla me ha creado un segundo icono imborrable. No he podido siguiera iniciar la partida.

### 1/5 — Шлаг

*2020-06-14, version 3.6*

Реклама понапихана везде, даже после полторы минуты геймплея вылезает реклама

### 1/5 — banana

*2020-06-10, version 3.5*

WHY THE HELL THIS GAME SO FREAKING HARD I SPEND 2 HOURS AND COULDN'T PASS A STAGE SUGEISGSKSJFVD

### 2/5 — Stolen music

*2021-01-19*

The games are very well made, but from my research, EVERY SINGLE PIECE OF MUSIC (minus the lyrical songs in HopBound) WERE STOLEN FROM ANOTHER GAME.

And if you’re wondering what the game it was stolen from was, it’s Spooky’s Jumpscare Mansion.

Play the games, and then listen to the soundtrack. You too will then find out it’s all stolen from Spooky’s Jumpscare Mansion.

### 2/5 — Interesting but buggy

*2020-08-28, version 4.0*

Everytime i died i lost ammo (a bug) and when i pick up ammo, the number doesn’t go up. Can’t advance.

### 5/5 — awesome sauce with a side of spooky

*2025-09-25*

i like the games story and difficulty, the bosses & levels outside of the main game are always tough but never impossible, and after all of that, im really content with the ending
the soundtrack is great too!!

### 5/5 — The greatest horror/story game on mobile you can find

*2025-09-07, version 4.4*

It’s insane how this game is this good yet so little people play it. Yeah it’s hard but when you get.p the hang of it it’s just great.

### 5/5 — This game is a absolute gem mine!!!!!!!!!!!!!

*2025-03-20, version 4.4*

I love 2D game and horror.And that’s why I like this game. This game always put me on edge of my seat. This games songs are good and the main plots is good. I will recommend anyone to try this game at least once. Thank you for making this game.

### 5/5 — One of the best psychological horrors on mobile

*2025-02-11, version 4.4*

I've been playing this game over and over for a while now, completing it and then leaving it for ages before playing it again. It doesn't compare to larger psychological horrors, say Mouthwashing or Omori. However for a mobile game, let alone a free one, it's brilliant. The art is good and the story is decent too. Of course, once again it could be better, but considering the fact that it's free I think it's really well put together.

### 5/5 — The whole franchise

*2024-11-24, version 4.4*

I REALLY LOVED THE FRANCHISE OF THE GAME AND SOME OF THE LEVELS WERE HARD BUT I NEVER GAVED UP AND TOOK BREAKS TO CALM MYSELF AND HOPBOUND WAS PROBABLY THE SCARIEST AND SADDEST GAME OF THE FRANCHISE AND THANK YOU FOR MAKING THIS GAME❤️🧡💛💚💙💕❣️🖤💜💞💓💗💖💘💝

### 5/5 — Nah, this DEREbound.

*2024-05-24*

The caverns is pretty hard, but when we have to shoot the monster at the end of uptown can you make it flash or something? Feels like it’s doing nothing.

### 5/5 — It need to have more….

*2024-03-28, version 4.4*

MORE GAMEPLAY

### 5/5 — Damn hard

*2024-03-23, version 4.4*

In my pov, i think that the map with all the obstacles are well made. Though its really hard for a player like me. it is hard enough that i needed so many tries to pass a single level.

### 5/5 — best game i had ever play

*2023-12-21, version 4.4*

ngl, i thought it was a normal game as the other until i finish the first chapter, the game it widely more and more, i hope u can do an another extras lvl on this game, expecting alot from you <3

### 5/5 — Beautiful

*2023-12-20, version 4.4*

Absolutely fantastic in every way. The level design is so perfect that it puts other games to shame. It encompasses all the things other games fail at from the perfect controls to the difficulty level of each puzzle. The story was lovely and I did tear up at the end. The designer of these games is a genius!
