### 5/5 — Bella

*2026-02-27, version 1.3*

I love this game and the music sounds so relaxing makes me think a lot about life,peace and quiet.

### 5/5 — Шедевр

*2026-01-03, version 1.3*

Это великолепно, ни копеечки ни жалею, затягивает будь здоров. Давным давно в детстве скачала, начала играть, но поменяла телефон, за годы забыла название,уже отчаялась. Но  с помощью ии нашла по описанию и о чудо игра детства наконец найдена и пройдена, ни о чем не жалею, до слез. Но второй босс, которого надо победить змеей, вынул из меня всю душу,  часа полтора проходила, управлять ей не очень удобно. А так 100 из 10!

### 4/5 — Awesome way

*2024-09-23*

I love this game so much, I visit it here and there since the first time I discovered it 8 years ago, is always really fun to beat the game again. However this time Im having a lot of lag issues. Not sure why just here and there the game will crash, it’s happened about 10 times today alone trying to play it to relive this nostalgic game but is getting annoying. Please help !

### 1/5 — Needs updated gamepad support

*2024-01-29, version 1.3*

Doesn’t support all MFI gamepads like gamevice flex or razer kishi

### 5/5 — Great game but…

*2023-12-17, version 1.3*

I played this game for many hours a couple years ago and it was lots of fun but now as I am playing it the game seems to freeze every 5-10 minutes forcing me to quit out of the game which has become a bit annoying and hopefully this can be fixed

### 4/5 — Would like to give a 5

*2022-08-19, version 1.3*

Only played the free part. Fun game. Wish the controls were more responsive. Also does glitch a lot and need to be restarted. Thankfully there are plenty of save points. I never pay for games because I’m incredibly, incredibly cheap, but I hope this developer makes another free one.

### 3/5 — Fantastic game but a bit glitchy.

*2022-04-07, version 1.3*

Often while playing if I died or moved to another area after several times, the game would become unplayably laggy and I would have to close the app and restart it. The controls are a bit small as well, it would be good if there was an option to increase the size of them.

I realise that it has now been many years since this app was last updated so these issues aren’t going to be resolved (and will most likely only worsen as the app becomes less compatible with newer versions of iOS) but I most certainly don’t regret paying the small amount for the full game as it gave me many hours of enjoyment. I love playing older games mostly out of nostalgia.

Thanks.

### 2/5 — Painful as hell but entertaining

*2022-01-24, version 1.3*

The mines with the barriers are the worst enemies ever especially when you have to platform with them following you and theres a level(s) with broken collision/tile layout

### 5/5 — LOVE THIS GAME

*2021-06-12*

Okay, I’ve been playing this since I was five and I love it!!!!!😃 the story, graphics, and plot are all just amazing. Five stars any day of the week

### 5/5 — j

*2020-08-18, version 1.3*

cool
