User reviews

Needs work

2 stars for nostalgia, but unbelievably frustrating gameplay because the thumb control is far to wonky for accurate movement. Swipe right and the Runner goes left into the hole you just dug.

Not for iPhone users

The controls are nearly impossible to control since there is no sense of where your thumb is on the screen, but even still, since I was willing to die a thousand times, I was able to complete all but level 64. Watching videos on how to solve it requires being able to move while falling from one side of the puzzle to the other, but these controls do not allow for that. For the most part I was able to relive earlier days, but the frustration level was too high to give it five stars.

Great family game! Request to add keyboard support

Great game to play as family. Request to add keyboard support and play it full screen… to play as I and many of us played on Apple II … playing it with Apple II keyboard. Also, I enjoy the soundtrack… reminds me of 80s.

Funzt endlich wieder

Danke für das Update jetzt funktioniert das Spiel wieder ich liebe das Spiel

App crashes after completing a level

Love this game, but now the app crashes after each level and doesn’t save the fact that the level has been completed.
