### 3/5 — Cool, erhält aber vom Entwickler leider keine Lieber mehr

*2025-04-09*

Lichtspeer ist ein stylisches, unterhaltsames Spiel mit tollem Design und flüssigem Gameplay – echt super! Leider ist es für moderne iPads (z. B. iPad Mini 6/7) nicht an die Bildschirmgrößenverhältnisse angepasst, was den Spaß trübt. Schade, deshalb nur 3 Sterne. Habe mir das Geld zurückgeben lassen.

### 3/5 — Doesn’t work on Apple TV

*2024-01-07, version 1.1.4*

Impossible to pass the tutorial using the Apple remote. Otherwise, great game on iOS

### 4/5 — саундтрек

*2019-03-22, version 1.1.4*

Однообразная музыка на фоне очень надоедает. Добавьте хотяб retrowave для атмосферы.

### 3/5 — Zu schwer

*2019-01-04*

Am Anfang war das Spiel noch sehr sehr gut, bis dann man in höhere Level kommt (z.B. Level 9 oder 10)
ist das Spiel fast nicht mehr machbar! Es kommen zu viele und zu viele unfaire Zombies, die du nicht mehr schaffst... für manche musst du schnell sein oder extra langsam sein! Und wenn du zu langsam bist, musst du die GANZE Etage von vorne machen!!! Deswegen nur 3 Sterne.

### 5/5 — Great game

*2018-07-01*

Simple and addictive, definitely worth it

### 5/5 — Additive very Addictive

*2018-05-28, version 1.1.4*

Goood 😀😃😃😃😀😀😀😃

### 2/5 — Don't believe the hype

*2018-05-19, version 1.1.4*

The game play is pretty boring. The music and special effects are not that good that they can distract from the pedestrian game itself.

### 5/5 — Ya! five stars!

*2018-04-28*

I love this game. That does not mean there aren’t things about it that could be better. The controls are slightly wonky, but no more so than any other phone game I’ve ever played.  The soundtrack is somewhat repetitive but then again it also fits the mood of the game perfectly. 
     I love this game for what it is. It is a mobile archery game, and in that respect it may be close to the pinnacle of the genre.  Other archery games I’ve played have been functionally adequate much like this one, but none have had the flair and overall attitude that this one has. This is the only game I’ve ever played in which you can stare down hordes of the fell Nordic creatures And destroy them.  
     Lo! Bring fourth your battle seals, Your zombie Giants, Your weird flying creature thingies!!  They shall all fall by the might of the Lichtspeer!!!

Is there a better archery game on the App Store?  NEIN!!!!!!

### 5/5 — Thank you, for being creative!

*2018-04-20*

So many games these days are just uninspired cash grabs filled with ads. Games like yours, and the others you make, are a reminder that there are original, fun, ad-free games where you can genuinely feel the passion and creativity that went into making them. 

Thank you!

### 5/5 — A game that finally rewards skill! Fair and fun!

*2018-04-19, version 1.1.4*

I’m writing a review for this game some ways into the mid game. It’s safe to say that this a well informed review for a mobile platform.
The art, the music and most of all the gameplay is top-notch. It rewards skill and patience and is a game on mobile which is fair and doesn’t seem to rely on you using paid upgrades. 
This is a tough, yet fair game. 
Pro Tip: turn up the sensitivity after a bit of practice. It’ll help immensely and make you feel like a pro.

Getting headshots is particularly satisfying;
the sound and graphic design is 👌🏻

My only complaint is the weird responsiveness to start a throw, I’ve activated the special powers by mistake several times. Needs a bit of practice though. Pay attention to the initial tutorial on how to start a throw.

### 2/5 — Hard is fine, when controls are functional.

*2018-04-18, version 1.1.4*

The game gets very difficult, very quickly so if you’re unable to commit the time to getting very good at it, it’s not worth buying to play the first few levels before getting stuck. This isn’t really an issue for those who are good at it, or at least it wouldn’t be if the touch controls were any good. 

I made the mistake of getting a “defensive” upgrade which, when used, makes the game much harder to play. My fault, I guess. But it made progression extremely difficult because I no longer had enough points to buy an upgrade that would actually have helped. So I went back to the earlier levels to do some grinding. So far I’m a bit annoyed to have spent time getting a defensive upgrade that is in no way helpful for defense, but no big deal. After a while I’m able to get an Uber upgrade (a while spent replaying early levels because I can’t progress). “Swipe down to use lichtrain”. Easy enough. Or it would be if it didn’t cast when I tried to aim down. To move your aim down you of course have to move your thumb down, the game decides you’ve swiped down and casts lichtrain... Right, so I’ve wasted my time getting it, it’s no help at all. No matter, I’ll play with it on cooldown. Except now every time I try to aim down, it thinks I’m attempting lichtrain and delays moving the spear. So now the game is far too hard for me to play because I’ve spent all this time basically disadvantaging myself. 

In short I didn’t get a lot out of this game because of the controls, which is a shame because when I started, it was really good.

### 5/5 — Miażdży!

*2018-04-18, version 1.1.4*

Dobrze wydane złocisze.

### 5/5 — good

*2018-04-18, version 1.1.4*

yea its good i play it on the toilet cant feel my legs now

### 5/5 — Fun and addictive

*2018-04-18*

I’m very picky about games, having grown up with computer and Nintendo titles in the 80’s and 90’s. This games drew me in. The controls are intuitive and the atmosphere is dreams like. The upgrades and multiple worlds/levels l will keep you interested. This game is very well done.

### 3/5 — aTV - bug

*2018-04-17*

Die APP scheint für mobile platform ausgelegt zu sein... oder für einen controler....

Für die remote Fernbedienung : fehlerhaft
(Man kommt nicht mehr aus menues zurück und kann noch nicht mal das tutorial schaffen - da man einfach nicht die waffe wechseln kann)

Cooler style - aber halbherzige programier arbeit... allein das ich WIEDER ein rezi schreiben muss um auf einen fehler aufmerksam zu machen geht mir so langsam ganz schön AUF DIE NERVEN....

Ständig sind wir gamer die Qualitätskontrolle der firma die uns auch noch geld dafür abnimmt ...

### 5/5 — Sympathique

*2018-04-16, version 1.1.3*

Mais c'est un gouffre à batterie. 1h de jeu 50% de batterie sur iPhone X. 
Il serait aussi très appréciable que la position de la lance soit réinitialisée après un tir, surtout dans les niveaux où il faut tirer des deux côtés, c'est frustrant d'enchainer les défaites parce qu'on a pas suffisamment de place sur l'écran pour viser un ennemi bas après avoir tiré assez haut.

### 4/5 — Best game ever

*2018-04-16, version 1.1.3*

But can you add some more content-new levels,new enemies and new lichtpowers and can I also have an option to customize the colour of the lichtspeer and clothing of the character. I find it next to impossible to defeat the lichtgod but I won't give up trying. Thank you for such a ultra-futuro-retro-stylish game.

### 1/5 — Control Issues

*2026-08-13*

For some reason the swipe controls stop working if you purchase the upgrades in the game. It’s like the pull back to throw mechanic gets stuffed into the upper most corner making the game unplayable. Tried on an iPad Pro 12” and iPhone 15 Pro. Both had the exact same issue.

### 1/5 — Распиарили отстойную игру

*2019-02-21, version 1.1.4*

С отвратительным управлением и нулевым геймплеем

### 1/5 — Not worth the money

*2018-11-23, version 1.1.4*

Pretty simple casual arcade game with angry birds mechanic game. 
It’s just endless aiming shooter. 
After buying perk “swiping up” aiming became really uncomfortable. 

I still can’t understand why THIS costs as much as good games like monument valley and badland.
Shame on you developers

### 1/5 — DO NOT BUY

*2018-04-09, version 1.1.3*

terrible game controls, boring game play very repetitive. I wish I could get my money back

### 1/5 — Spiel Super, Performance suckt.

*2018-04-01*

Hey Liebe DEVs, gute Arbeit! Nur an der Optimierung könnt ihr noch ein bisschen schrauben, der Energiehunger ist für ein 2D Spiel definitiv zu groß. Ansonsten fetzt das Teil!

### 1/5 — J'ai perdu ma confiance en Noodlecake

*2018-03-29, version 1.1.3*

Le jeu ne se lance pas si on n'est pas connecté sur internet. Nul
Je demanderai un remboursement
Testé sur ipad pro IOS 9.3

### 1/5 — Не работает

*2018-03-14, version 1.1.1*

Вылетает при загрузке уровней (iPad3). Верните деньги

### 1/5 — It won’t load

*2018-03-13, version 1.1.1*

It won’t load it’s stuck on the headphone recommended.

### 1/5 — Controls!!

*2018-03-10*

The game’s all good and fun, but the controls are extremely wonky? Especially when the screen changed and you’re getting attacked from two sides. It’s super hard to control the spear, and No matter how much you turn up the sensitivity... it doesnt react well at all.
Not worth the money.

### 1/5 — CONTROLS OR lack thereof

*2018-03-08*

For a game I forked over 4 bucks the controls make it difficult to enjoy. It’s impossible to enjoy this game when you die so quickly after being touched. It’s extremely difficult to draw the spear accurately using the touch screen. I’m going to discontinue playing unless there is an improvement

### 5/5 — Adding adventure mode is not an issue with a new 🆕 version for iOS devices but the app itself will

*2024-12-25*

Actual evidence for that was found by the police 👮‍♀️ on Monday in an apartment complex where the suspect is believed dead 😵 and his wife and two young sons have not died since wonderful memories emerged in their home 🏠 and they were both found on Monday afternoon on their bed 🛏️ with their phones 📱 ringing off a nearby apartment block instituted! They have been charged with assault with the suspect is being sought by government prosecutors for allegedly violating their own probation lives!!!!!! And they will have a right not guilty verdict to appeal that so that they can go home 🏡 with the truth about what happened and get there?

### 5/5 — 👍👍👍👍👍

Very addictive game

### 5/5 — Pleasently Surprised

*2018-11-28, version 1.1.4*

An amazing little game to pass the time. Very polished, great controls and great animations.
Didn’t expect it to be this good and addictive.
Also, the intro is surprisingly funny. 
Anyone who likes arcade games and has some gaming skill will enjoy this.

### 5/5 — The best

*2018-11-24*

This is the best game ever made. You through spears of light sabers at people. Lots of blood.

### 5/5 — Szalenie dobra, szalenie wciągająca, piekielnie trudna

*2018-10-21, version 1.1.4*

Lichtspeer to piekielnie dobra gra. Sterowanie jest wyśmienite, a sama gra zdaje się być idealnym kandydatem do mobilnego portu. Muzyka w grze to istny majstersztyk i idealnie pasuje do stylu gry. Jedynym małym minusem może być to, że na mniejszych iPhone’ach można przypadkowo używać power up’ów. Dla niektórych minusem może być też cena, bo 18 złotych jak na tytuł mobilny to całkiem sporo, jednak weźmy pod uwagę, że jest to gra na „kilka razy” więc myślę, że jest to idealna suma. 5/5 Serdecznie polecam.
