Decepcionado ### 3/5 — Bel gioco ma…. *2021-08-31, version 1.2* Il gioco in se sarebbe magnifico grafica, storia e non è neanche tanto difficile. Ho trovato un problema nel capitolo lucciole, quando cade il tronco e mi attacco alla liana non c’è problema ma arrivare giù di sotto è impossibile visto che muoio per il danno da caduta. Per favore rispondetemi su come risolvere. ### 4/5 — Fun, creative game with minor control glitches *2021-03-09* I was really surprised how much gameplay they packed into this app. There are 20 total “chapters” with really engaging, colorful and lifelike graphics. Definitely has a 3D feel even though you’re only moving in 2 dimensions. New mechanics are added along the way, each one being pretty straightforward but as they combine there are some interesting puzzles. The controls aren’t 100% reliable, so get used to dying a lot, but it saves your progress often so you don’t have to backtrack much. Really glad I got this app! ### 3/5 — Hello... *2021-01-29* I really love this game and hope y’all add full controller support. Bcos controls are limited to moving and jumping, everything else is nada. ### 5/5 — Amazing game and amazing storyline *2020-10-20, version 1.2* Love this game. Need more this type of game not like any now a days game where you have spend so much time and money but this game has amazing adventure and tricks and puzzles. I use iPhone 11 Pro Max and it runs smoothly and graphic is awesome. But the only issue is game keep crashing after I reach chapter 6. But other then that I love it. ### 3/5 — Repetitive death *2020-09-24* Is it even possible to get past level two of the tower playing on the iPad? I have now died 4,369 times there or there abouts ### 5/5 — Тормоза на 7 *2020-07-11* Тормозит на 7 по страшному,трубка греется и батарею ест по страшному,а так игра увлекательна,ещё бы русский язык добавить и вообще песенка бы была)! Ну соответственно ждём оптимизации!!! Успехов в трудах и творческой работе)! ### 5/5 — update new *2020-06-25, version 1.2* update ### 5/5 — Full stars *2020-06-05, version 1.2* The best game i have ever seen ### 5/5 — This is such fun *2020-05-06* I love this very much! Thank you! ### 5/5 — Игра супер *2020-04-14, version 1.2* Вообще не пожалел 5 баксов. Одна из самых классных игр!!!!!! Сюжет, графика, гп. ### 5/5 — One of the best mobile games ever *2020-01-30, version 1.2* How could this rated 4.2 this is a 5 star game. The mechanics are awesome . You won’t regret this once you start playing ### 5/5 — Amazing game, get it now! *2020-01-09* I downloaded this and then didn’t play it for a while. I finally got around to it, and then couldn’t put it down! I loved it! Great storyline, excellent puzzles, great game mechanics, creative, and beautiful to look at. The cut scenes are really well done. Five stars all the way. Once it a while the game winked out and I had to reload but it always brought me back to where I’d left off and not much progress was lost. Occasionally I got stuck but a quick internet search for walkthroughs always helped. I wish there were more games like this. Highly recommend. ### 5/5 — Please fix *2019-12-17, version 1.2* It has a bug at the moment after the vine episode it keeps closing out the app and now a week later it’s just blank black screen whenever I open the app ### 5/5 — Outstanding 10/10 *2019-11-22* This was an AMAZING game. Best platformer I’ve played for YEARS. Genius developers. The Graphics were STUNNING with puzzles and game play INGENIOUSLY thought out by clever people. Truly entertaining. I think £5 is an absolute bargain, for what has gone into this game, and I challenge anyone who disagrees. There are a lot of games out there that are the same price and above, and do not warrant what THIS game has to offer. Thank you very much.P.s And to think this was on an iPad. . Wow ! ### 5/5 — BEST GAME THIS YEAR *2019-10-23, version 1.2* The graphics, the price. Hands down; best action adventure game I’ve ever played. Thanks for making this one!!! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Lacking important features *2025-02-07* This game is amazing on console. Unfortunately, it has some issues on Apple devices. Firstly, it doesn’t support iCloud/Game Center syncing. Secondly, while it claims to support controllers, it doesn’t offer full controller support. You can navigate the menus with a gamepad, but more importantly, you can’t use the marker with the controller, meaning you have to rely on the touch screen for a crucial gameplay mechanic. ### 1/5 — Pretty much unplayable *2022-11-18* The frame rate drops are horrendous and the graphics are terrible. I’ve requested a refund. Pretty poor show releasing a game in this state. ### 1/5 — Crashing/lost progress *2020-06-17, version 1.2* Was going to give this 5 stars, but I lost my progress and was sent back to the beginning of a level multiple times. ### 1/5 — Geçilmiyor 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬😡 *2020-05-30, version 1.2* Bölüm geçilmıyor parasını haketmiyor ### 1/5 — Vai in bug *2019-10-04, version 1.2* Va in bug davanti la porta dove devi trascinare il masso non riesco ad andare avanti ### 1/5 — Bug 있는 게임 *2019-08-27* 게임을 상당히 진행하였으나 게임 하단의 콘토론 기능이 화면 전체에서 동작하여 더이상 진행할 수 없음. 2번이나 경험(다른 단계) 하였고 아아패드 사용자임로 버그 수정전에는 비추천 게임임. ### 1/5 — Fun game but glitchy *2019-06-16, version 1.2* I love this game and it’s really fun but level 4-1 there’s a glitch that makes it so you can’t push the block into the wall and get the 3rd eye. I was able to finally get it in the hole after 10 min playing with it but then it was stuck in the cave and couldn’t be pushed or pulled out to complete that room. I had to skip that eye. :/ ### 1/5 — Drecks App *2019-04-25* Beim aktualisieren der anderen wurde dieser Müll mit runtergelaufen ! Schrott Schrott Schrott ! ### 1/5 — Horrible graphics on iPad Pro 3rd gen *2019-03-17, version 1.2* Looks like playdoh ### 1/5 — Worst sluggish controls *2019-01-06* Very unresponsive controls, running on an iPhone X. Has potential, but if it’s that laggy, you may as well throw it in the bin. What a waste of money. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Max *2026-01-19, version 1.2* This game is a good game I’m not 9 but I love this game ### 5/5 — Very Good and fun but… *2025-05-27, version 1.2* Where is the subtitles in spanish? But the game its good and fun,i hope and add the subtitles in spanish if you add him,thanks ### 5/5 — FUN GAMEPLAY *2024-10-17* love this game ### 5/5 — Lord *2023-10-03, version 1.2* Tökéletes game, irányítás pofonegyszerü, imádnivaló! ### 5/5 — Needs to have backbone controller availability *2022-12-19, version 1.2* I LOOOOOOOVE this game but it needs to allow for using the backbone! Please!! It would be so much easier! ### 5/5 — Top game on ios *2021-05-24* I looked on my nintendo switch and its £14.99. Way too much and playes better on ios for £4.99. Hope we get another game like this with a new story please. 🤪👍👊 ### 5/5 — Güüzeel *2021-02-09, version 1.2* Oyun çok güzel grafikleri de harika tek kelimeyle harikaa ### 5/5 — Max II ? *2021-01-20, version 1.2* Amazingly entertaining game. Very well created. Bravo!!!! Please bring out the sequel soon ### 5/5 — 2021 review *2021-01-18, version 1.2* Good game just finished the game on iPhone 11 Pro Max . A few bugs here and there but overall good game ### 5/5 — Zevkli *2020-12-07, version 1.2* 4.5 yaşında ki oğlum oyunu rahatça bitirdi . Elbette bir kaç bölümde yıkandığımız yerde yardım aldık. YouTube’a bakarak. Ancak takip edebildiğim kadar zevkli bir oyundu. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
