### 3/5 — Glitches

*2024-07-15*

Great game but annoying glitch where you let go of the booster but it keeps going until you die or tap again

### 1/5 — Game is BROKEN, Do NOT BUY

*2020-12-21*

For an expensive game (by iOS standards at least), you’d think it would at least work. There could be a fun game here, if the controls weren’t COMPLETELY BROKEN. There seems to be some sort of memory leak, with respect to the controls at least. The problem will start happening within 5 minutes of playing, and will get worse and worse as time goes on, happening nearly constantly if you play a few levels. Since these levels are long AND HARD, you have almost no chance of making it through without hitting this horrible bug. The bug is that the controls will just activate themselves without input from you. This will result in you spinning uncontrollably to your death, or rocketing non stop to your death. You can raise your hands completely off the device, and the controls will still be “active”.

There is no controller support, and the coding seems fairly incompetent so far, so I’m not holding my breath for it, and I’m just refunding.

**Developer response:** This issue has been fixed in version 1.13+
