### 5/5 — Купил за бесплатно ещё 6 лет назад

*2020-12-02*

Игра хорошая. На телефоне шарик на половину экрана, а на планшете всё отлично. Больше 50 довольно легко.

### 3/5 — Great idea, not sure about execution

*2020-09-09, version 1.3.4*

The idea behind the game is great in its simplicity and addictiveness, which is why I still return to it after all these years.

But for a 3D game it is remarkably difficult to judge distances and where you land after jumps, making it much harder to control that it would have to be. All you need is one bump, and you have no idea which way you have to turn to get back to the track. The ball itself blocks out a large part of the screen, making it even harder to judge where you are going to land. The controls are also very clunky - the all or nothing turning seems odd given that you could enable gyroscope controls that would make the process much smoother.

Sadly the developer no longer seems to develop the app any longer.

### 5/5 — Still my favourite iPhone game ever

*2020-06-26, version 1.3.4*

I don’t know how many years I’ve had impossible road but time after time I just keep coming back to it. It’s the executive toy of iPhone games, smooth, sleek, well designed and simple. No flashing lights, bells or whistles, no power ups, just you and the road and the beautiful physics. These days it seems the most popular iPhone games have one job: to bombard the player with as much audio and visual stimulation as they possibly can. This game is the opposite, if this game was a car it would be a Saab. Quiet, reserved and beautiful. May the creator of this game die happy that he or she has truly made something beautiful. 11/10

### 4/5 — Très bon jeu

*2020-04-29*

J’ai beaucoup aimé la jouabilité réactive (en tactile) et le challenge élevé qui font un jeu avec une forte rejouabilité.
Le graphisme épuré et la musique électronique donnent une ambiance agréable.
Seul bémol : il s’agit d’un jeu infini et je trouve que ça manque d’un mode avec des niveaux, des challenges ou des défis.
Bref je recommande.

### 4/5 — Not bad

*2020-04-02, version 1.3.4*

I like this game but I think there should more things like loops and maybe if you could fall for longer it is a brilliant game otherwise I play it nearly every day

### 3/5 — Really needs a practice mode

*2020-03-30, version 1.3.4*

It really is impossible. Like when you bounce after the second bounce you’re falling again. If it had a beginners/ practice mode I would definitely rate this game a four or five star game.

### 4/5 — Okaaaaay 🙃

*2020-03-27, version 1.3.4*

This game is ok not the best tho.  me and my brother tried to play this but if u did an update with the controllers where u could use ur finger to move and not tap the controls left and right would make it a whole lot better! But amazing job on it I only took away 1 star because of the controllers!!!! GREAT JOB THO!!!!!!!  ;) ;) ;)

### 3/5 — Ну как сказать...

*2020-03-24*

О игре можно сказать одно: Это программа сдохни или умри. Мне интересно... а сами разработчики пробывали пройти больше 50 контр. точек? Скорость шара сумасшедшая!!!! Не успеваешь не поворачивать, не перерабатывать информацию о том что произошло... в общем 3.

### 5/5 — Thanks 🥰🥰🥰

*2020-03-22, version 1.3.4*

Thanks for the price sure you’ll have more gamers

### 2/5 — Жесть!!

*2020-03-22*

Очень сложная игра! Больше 3 прыжков дело не идёт! Ребят, сделайте полегче уровень!

### 2/5 — 게임 거지같네 진짜

*2020-03-21*

어찌된게 공이 튀기면서 화면을 다 가리냐
경로가 보이질 않네 싀벌
그리고 공 색깔은 일부러 배경하고 똑같이 만들어서 구분 안가게 하는 거임? 이걸 추천한 에디터도 변태적 성질이 있는게 다분하다.

### 5/5 — 인생게임

*2020-03-20*

할 게임 없나 싶을때마다 켜는 게임입니다.
너무 어렵다고 하시는 분들도 계시겠지만, 하다보니까 엄청나게 재미있더라고요.
강력추천합니다!

### 5/5 — 単純だからこそ飽きない

*2020-02-26*

かれこれ3年近く遊んでます笑

### 4/5 — Geiles Game

*2020-02-12*

Das Spiel ist sehr lustig. Wenn man sich einspielt, dann ist es auch nicht mehr so schwierig. Level wären jetzt nur noch gut. Sonst top

### 1/5 — Controls

*2022-09-14, version 1.3.4*

I reckon it would work better with gyroscope control. Tilt forward to go faster. Back to slow down and left and right… well that’s obvious

### 1/5 — バグ

*2020-12-31*

開けない

### 1/5 — Ужасное управление

*2020-03-28*

Управление кошмар, шар на весь экран

### 1/5 — Impossible to play :(

*2020-03-26, version 1.3.4*

Not user friendly

### 1/5 — Unplayable

*2020-03-21, version 1.3.4*

Lousy controls and physics. This actually is impossible.

### 1/5 — Comment perdre du temps...

*2020-03-21*

Jeu inutile où l’on apprend absolument rien...
Même gratuit, cela est trop cher en heures perdues...
La vie est courte...

### 1/5 — 視点をなんとかして欲しい

*2020-02-01*

難しいとかそういう訳ではない
本当に視点をなんとかして欲しい
跳ねたときに前がなんにも見えない
ただそれだけそれ以上はプレイヤースキルによる
正直がっかりした無料だったら文句ないが
これだけのゲームに300円払わしといて
これはないだろうという感じ
視点さえ変えれば良ゲーになるのではないかと
それでも300円は高いな

### 1/5 — Why no orientation control?

*2019-11-24, version 1.3.4*

Control is managed by twitchily tapping a left and right arrow.  Hold it too briefly, fly off the road.  Hold it too long, fly off the road.  Somehow, I’d honestly expected this to respond to me rotating my device,  but alas, that is not the case.  I wasn’t looking for a game with twitch-perfect demands for control.

Tried for 3 plays and I am now deleting this game.  Bleh.

### 1/5 — Frustrating

*2019-11-04, version 1.3.4*

I deleted this after 5 minutes. No restart option so you have to wait for it to reset you every time you fall off the edge and the camera angle is terrible. If you fall and land on the path too hard it’s overly disorienting. I’d only wish this experience on my worst enemy.

### 1/5 — Impossible by name - Impossible by Nature

*2019-10-10, version 1.3.4*

I purchased this as it looked really good. However, in all my attempts so far I have not lasted more than a few seconds.
This game desperately needs a beginners mode, it is far too fast to start off and no way to really get used to the limited control that there is. So, come on, have a beginners level, jus the same as it is now only a lot slower!

### 5/5 — Found this game!

*2026-08-20, version 1.3.4*

I used to play it a lot when I was a kid on my iPad. I couldn’t find this game because I forgot its name. Glad I found it again after YEARS!

### 5/5 — bugs or features

*2026-01-20, version 1.3.4*

are the random stalls and bumps in the road on purpose? previous versions did not have this and my high score is in the 800s

### 5/5 — Très bon jeu

*2026-01-06*

Les commentaires négatifs sont le reflet des joueurs impatients et médiocres.
Prenez le temps nécessaire d’apprendre la physique du jeu et vous en sortirez satisfait.
Prix un peu élevé cela dit.

### 5/5 — Slope fans will like this

*2025-07-15, version 1.3.4*

This game is fun, engaging, and beautifully crafted. It is similar to games like slope, just five times as hard. If you like ball-rolling games or just a plain challenge, don’t think twice before buying this.

### 5/5 — Atemporal

*2024-08-13*

Clássico, desafiador e divertido!

### 5/5 — 暇潰しのスマホゲーとしては最高

*2022-02-25*

感度が低すぎる、曲がれない、
なんてことはないのでご安心を。
デフォルトの設定で3Dタッチが有効になっています。offにもできます。
3年程前に買ったのですが、今スマホに入ってるゲームはこれだけです。これだけが生き残りました。

### 5/5 — iPhoneアプデしたら開けなくなった

*2021-04-07*

14.4.2にアップデートしたところ、アプリが開けなくなりました。
とても好きなゲームなので、修正をお願いします。

### 5/5 — Love it

*2021-03-06, version 1.3.4*

I have been playing this game for quite some time now, and I am just going to say that it is one of the best games I think I have ever played. Ps. Not sure what the world record is, but my highest score is 471.

### 5/5 — iPad Pro 11” support please!

*2021-01-06*

Love the game, been playing it for years. Unmatchable for simplicity and elegance. Just upgraded to 11” iPad Pro and can’t help but notice the black sidebars due to the changed aspect ratio, please update so I can enjoy it to the fullest! And maybe 120hz display support while you’re at it too?

### 5/5 — Great

*2020-12-26, version 1.3.4*

Great
