### 5/5 — Addictive but hard

*2026-03-16*

I decided I would review this game because at first I thought it would be too hard, but you get used to some of the traps and it becomes addictive somehow. Expect to die numerous times per minute until you get it right. This game is for master platformer gamers. Good time killer.

### 4/5 — Meganoid 2!!!

*2018-07-09*

Meganoid was the first mobile game that ever hooked me. So I was incredibly excited to see that it was getting a sequel. 
While I don't personally think it matches the original, it's definitely a great bite-sized hardcore platformer, and I'm incredibly glad that OrangePixel took this game in another direction and made something so similar yet fairly different. So many sequels are just 'more of the same', but here, things have been a little streamlined while still retaining the challenge and intensity that made the original Meganoid so much fun!

Each Meganoid game is similar enough that they could all be combined into one game, but different enough that they could each be considered a different 'gameplay mode', so they're all worth checking out even if you own the newest title-- Meganoid 2017. 

Here's hoping the original gets the revived 2018 treatment as well!!!

OH, THANK YOU FOR BRINGING ALL THESE CLASSIC GAMES BACK FROM THE DEAD!!!! OrangePixel is one of a handful of developers that I will insta-buy every game they (he- yeah, one man team-how crazy is that?!?!) put out that winds up in the AppStore. 
<3 ORANGEPIXEL!!!!
