### 3/5 — Not that fun...

*2017-10-17, version 1.0*

Ok, tbh, when I got this game, I was expecting it to be kinda fun. But it was not that good. Multiple reasons. When I changed the settings, it wouldn’t save when I closed it. And the game itself wouldn’t receive my touch. I tried to change the color, it would either skip a color or not receive at all. Last reason is just the gameplay is kinda boring. It’s really challenging, and it doesn’t really have a entertaining vibe. It was fun for the first 5 minutes I had it, but after that, no.

### 5/5 — Awesome Soundtrack, Beautiful game

*2017-07-09, version 1.0*

The game may be simple however it is very beautiful and symbolic, it's a good game for the brain and it's a great challenge, I am in love with the pixel soundtrack, it reminds me of old game boy and Nintendo games.

### 1/5 — Not good

*2017-07-03, version 1.0*

Very uncreative and dull gameplay

### 4/5 — Great game

*2017-04-16, version 1.0*

If it pauses when you play, don't tap in the middle! Plus, if the controls are bad, learn how to be good at the game! I finished the game, and I wasn't complaining.

### 4/5 — Nice work!

*2017-03-09, version 1.0*

I found this game while lazily sitting on my couch. When I played it, it was surprisingly enjoyable. The levels were difficult, and I always found myself coming back. One problem though. The ads.

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2017-03-07, version 1.0*

Very unresponsive every time if i top on one side the other one will jump and some times neither will

### 2/5 — Meh

*2017-03-06, version 1.0*

It's not really a new concept, it's been done over and over and it's starting to get stale. The control scheme is also strange and wonky, and doesn't make a whole lot of sense.
The graphics are okay, decent for what it is. The artistic aspects of it work in its favor.
If I'm honest, there's nothing to bring me back to this game. Feels kinda empty.

### 4/5 — Why

*2017-02-28, version 1.0*

It is a great game and all but why is your game named after a Greek man?

### 1/5 — Nah, boring

*2017-02-17, version 1.0*

I got bored after a min. Controls are terrible.

### 2/5 — Underdeveloped

*2017-02-17, version 1.0*

I expected more from this. The gameplay, sound, and style are all derivative, but decent enough. There's no "hook" to keep the player coming back—no real story/environment or competitive elements. Then again, I didn't play it with another person, and I'm sure the teamwork component adds a lot. But why not do more with the seed of the single-player experience that's already here, or just remove it entirely? (Plus, the ad placement/frequency is annoying.)
