So since I wanted to support indie creators, and look for some more games to play, I discovered the Mighty Switch Force series, and I loved it a ton. Easily one of my favorite game franchises. This game being no exception. While it’s not really a “game” game like the other MSF games in the series, it’s definitely really fun and a good time killer! It’s the type of game someone would play when they’re bored, passing the time, etc (think Angry Birds, Subway Surfers, etc.) and I think it does the job well. My only downsides is the ads and reuse of soundtrack from the previous games, but that’s to be expected. Many mobile games have ads so it’s not too much of an issue for me, and it doesn’t make much sense to get a whole soundtrack commissioned for a little mobile game already apart of a series (unless if you’re like Nintendo or smth lolz (plus the soundtrack is filled with bangers so I don’t mind listening to them again!)) So, coming from a fan of the MSF series, I honestly would recommend this game. It’s nothing groundbreaking but it’s simple, fun, and that’s really all I need! ### 4/5 — Good game but… *2022-10-07* Any plans to update this and Risky’s Revenge to better support iOS 16? Thank you. ### 2/5 — CANT CLOSE THE ADS *2017-03-04* FIX THE ADS WAYFORWARD ### 3/5 — 구매목록삭제해주세요 *2016-08-17, version 1.3* 구매목록삭제해주세요 ### 4/5 — Good game *2016-01-25* A fun way to spend some time and test your mind. A little on the short side though with 25 levels and another 25 after a fee. ### 2/5 — Werbung *2016-01-15* Nach jedem! Level Werbung, welche meist einen Countdown hat, bevor sie weggeklickt werden kann. Das motiviert er zum deinstallieren, nicht zum ingamekauf der adremove-package. ### 4/5 — Fun game! *2015-12-06* This is a very good game to play. Love it.😄 ### 5/5 — 구매목록삭제요청 *2015-11-05, version 1.3* 구매목록삭제요청 ### 5/5 — More puzzle packs please *2015-11-01* Love this game! Please let me play my own music..... Love the daily challenge although I'm pretty sure it's sometimes a repeat puzzle.... Make more puzzle packs Pleeeeeeeeease ### 5/5 — Cute and fun! *2015-10-30* I'm addicted! This game is a lot of fun and cute :) ### 5/5 — Excelente juego *2015-09-16, version 1.3* Excelente juego muy divertido y entretenido ### 3/5 — Not a big fan *2015-09-12* The game has potential but on my phone maybe others it skips making it difficult to move he blocks ### 5/5 — Love WayForward *2015-08-31* Has the same beautiful sprites and graphics from Mighty Switch Force 2 on the 3DS, a but it's a puzzle game that uses the same hose mechanics...if you play them both, you'll see what I mean. Anyway, I think everything this developer touches turns to gold. This is probably my favorite iOS game. Download it now. ### 5/5 — Incredibly well constructed *2015-07-24* You know, normally when you see things like this in the App Store the creators usually mess it up some how. This game had a lot of areas where the creator could have gone in the wrong direction, and honestly, I didn't notice a single problem playing through the whole game. The puzzles are mind bending yet addictively fun, and the game just never gets old. I had a lot of fun playing this game, and the design was just very well executed. ### 5/5 — Fun! *2015-07-16* Addictive and fun game! Hope they make more levels - I completed the game in less than a week. ### 5/5 — <3 *2015-07-13, version 1.3* I love the app :3 ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — I gave a one star rating because... (am still wayforward fan) *2019-11-26* So since I didn’t play the game in a long time I decided to play it again but... then at one point it kept popping up to buy more levels and I wasn’t even tapping the button to do that so I delete the app and it popped up one last time and it didn’t do it again The end (REAL ok bruh) unless... it does it in the future.. ### 1/5 — It could be fun, but... *2017-03-05* I recently downloaded this game again since I had fond memories of playing it the first time I discovered it, but I soon discovered a reason to put the game down again. The gameplay and soundtrack seem pretty entertaining, but the bulk of the time spent on this app was waiting through advertising. I didn't have much of an opportunity to appreciate the artwork or music since the levels were short and an advertisement would pop up at the end of each level. It might just be my device (iPhone 6S, iOS 10.2.1), but the game would freeze on the ad, and I'd have to fully close and restart the app. After repeating this for about 20 minutes, I finally decided to write this review. I'm sure the game is great, but it's no fun if it's such a struggle to play. ### 1/5 — Does not work *2016-11-10, version 1.3* App never loads and stays on loading screen. Nothing changes. Will wait for update to see if it gets fixed. ### 1/5 — Schönes Spiel, miese Methoden *2016-01-02* An sich ein super kniffliges kleines Zwischendurchspiel, aber Achtung: Will man das Spiel beenden "reagiert" der Home Button nicht statt dessen wird der Remove-Adds In-App Kauf ausgelöst, der noch durch Touch ID bestätigt werden muss. Das ist natürlich super praktisch für die Entwickler, da sich der Touch ID Daumen eh grad am richtigen Ort befindet und wenn man nicht schnell genug reagiert, ist die Kauf schnell unbemerkt getätigt, das ist wirklich das letzte !!!! ### 1/5 — Crooked and Unethical Developer. *2015-07-03* This was previously a paid game and I paid for it. Now, though, apparently the developer didn't make the money that he wanted to, so he turns the game into a free game for everyone. But, of course, the catch is that in this shady update he fills the game with advertisements, hoping to annoy all of the free users into making the in-app purchase to remove the ad's. That is totally immoral and a complete ripoff to everyone who paid their hard earned money for this game. If you paid previously, you now get ad's in your game and have to pay all over again to remove those advertisements. Only in the mobile application arena can a crooked, immoral and unethical developer like this get away with such a shady bait-and-switch action. Nowhere else would customers put up with this crap. I haven't updated to this most recent and vile update. So, thankfully I still have the full, ad-free game that I paid for. And I, of course, will not ever update this game again and I would highly advise other paid customers to never update this game either. It's criminal developers like this crook that give respectable and moral game developers a real bad name on the App Store. You should be ashamed of your highly unethical actions. I know I will never be purchasing another one of this developer's games. iPhone 6 Plus/ iOS 8.3 ### 1/5 — aggravated *2015-05-14, version 1.2.5* I bought an extra level pack and I did not receive it. They took my money but didn't give me a product. Please resolve this issue and maybe I'll give five stars. ### 1/5 — 환불해주세여 *2015-05-07, version 1.2.5* 금주 무료라해서 받았는데 0.99달라 결제는 뭔가요??? 환불 부탁드려요 ### 1/5 — Verarsche *2015-05-07* Hand Voll Level danach wird man zu Kasse gebeten fühle mich verarscht ### 1/5 — Naja *2015-05-07* Kaum Spielspaß gehabt. Hat den Titel „App der Woche“ meiner Meinung nach nicht verdient. ### 1/5 — Langweilig *2015-05-06* Gibt nicht viel zu sagen. Langweilig. Wieder gelöscht ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Fun, gotta love the MSF characters *2022-12-27* Transitions good to mobile controls ### 5/5 — Juegazo *2017-10-07, version 1.3* Lo recomiendo al 100%. ### 5/5 — Good *2017-03-23* Good.
