### 5/5 — GAME IS HEAT BUT A FEW THINGS CAN BE FIXED

*2026-03-22, version 1.17*

This game is the best mobile game ever on my life. The only things room for improvement is the coins and more challenges.Once you get all the characters coins become useless so you should be able to like spin for like special cosmetics or like power ups u can use mid ice ropes run like subway surfers. And challenges, the cat and Christmas ones are fun and fine but they are way too easy and too repetitive once u complete them. I legit think I can do the Christmas last one with one ye closed. So I feel like you should add more challenges and make them a bit harder. This game is so heat tho otherwise and legit my favorite mobile game rn fr. Ik yall might not be working on this game since all the reviews are from years ago but this game is heat and also if yalllr ver see this. DONT EVER ADD ADS THIS IS WHST MAKES THE GAME EVEN MORE FIRE AND IF YOU ADD ADS AFTER THIS WALLAHI IM UNINSTALLING.

### 5/5 — Yay

*2026-01-04, version 1.17*

This game is so fun. I just got an iPod touch and a bunch of apps don’t work but this one works really well.

### 5/5 — Best game ever

*2025-11-25, version 1.17*

Best game ever

### 4/5 — Fun but a little challenging and glitchy

*2024-12-01, version 1.17*

I love this game but it’s a little challenging. (That’s good, we all need our brain challenged!!) I highly recommend this game if you need a fun thing to do. It’s also almost no adds and really free!! (The only thing you need to pay for is extra characters but I am perfectly satisfied with the ones they gave me.) Very good! 4 stars!!!

### 5/5 — I’m so happy

*2024-02-11, version 1.17*

The first

### 2/5 — Why’d you update it and change it?

*2023-09-29, version 1.17*

Honestly was one of my favorite games and then the update came in and made it so hard that it wasn’t even fun anymore. I was going from 5000m to barely getting last 1000m. I miss the old version and only having the bonus levels as the challenging mode so it could feel like you could succeed.

### 2/5 — To glitchy

*2023-09-03, version 1.17*

Characters explode right after they fall no chance to save them Christmas level 1 to hard

### 1/5 — Eh

*2023-06-21, version 1.17*

I feel that this game was much more poorly made compared to Monkey routes. Every time you try to tap it seem less accurate. I don’t feel that this game is near comparable to the other game

### 1/5 — game purposely KILLS YOU TOO EARLY

*2022-09-15, version 1.17*

Was initially fun to play. But then I soon realised that the game’s “death” condition was way too broken. I would have 1 character on a solid, stable surface, the other character falling into the hole below, but I could easily jump with the other character and save both, but stupid game always ends the attempt the moment the other guy goes down (NOT EVEN OUT OF SCREEN YET) it doesn’t even consider physics, that I can pull the guy out easily if they let me jump one more time with the other character on flat ground but instead, game repeatedly ends the round early. Literally should kill characters only if they fall OUT OF THE PHONE SCREEN rather than once they just go down a little bit, to give us a chance of pulling them back up with the other character which seems totally feasible. Also, dumb game keeps trapping my character behind the previous obstacle even though the surface is flat and smooth, so theoretically I can pull him out with the other character but NO, game decides to end it there because they think my character is STUCK.

### 5/5 — Reminds me of Crossy road

*2022-06-11, version 1.17*

It’s like Crossy road but in the mountains kinda like it could be called Crossy road mountains
