Such a cool design and many very cool levels. Love the game. ### 5/5 — Glitch problem *2022-02-11, version 2.0.6* Awesome game but not a great experience everything gets weird and glitchy and the obstacles turn weird ### 4/5 — Amazing game but some issues *2021-05-09, version 2.0.6* A game that I love got it today kind of didn’t pay to remove ads but that’s not the problem I wouldn’t recommend picking this game up or at least for Mobile if you have a choice I don’t really like the graphics because sometimes they are normal other times it looks like the game got thrown into a food processor. However I think instead of getting this game you should get the console/pc version because the graphics are amazing on there that is my only problem. ### 5/5 — That is fun, but there is one thing I don’t understand *2020-10-24, version 2.0.6* There was a glitch on endless mode, and the stage is disappearing when it was a difficulty endless mode, and it starts going faster and faster without any obstacles. Can you fix the bugs? ### 5/5 — Little bug :P *2020-07-19, version 2.0.6* Hey there! I really love your game and really want it to be at the highest point in potential. I understand you guys might be working hard on Odium (or on something else right now) but I’ve come to tell ya something about Return Null. When the blue guy makes makes his way in with all the piston stuff around him, it’s a bit too early. He fallows the same patten, but he’s ahead of you making it much easier and no effort is required to pass that stage of the fight. I’m not sure if there’s other bugs after that, but this seems pretty important to the fight. Again, I love this game and I hope you keep up the amazing work you do. ### 1/5 — It’s not free *2019-07-13, version 2.0.1* On the App Store it says it’s free but you have to pay almost $3 to play each week. No thanks. ### 5/5 — I’m so determined *2019-07-05, version 2.0.1* I will beat this mobile port! ### 3/5 — Expensive but the game itself is good *2019-07-03, version 2.0.1* This game is extremely well polished and well designed for a mobile game however to play past the tutorial you need to pay 2.49$ per week and there are no options for a monthly/yearly subscription that being said there are many other games of similar quality included in a the subscription but they are just mobile games If they were for PC or Console this subscription would be worth it but personally I’m going to wait until their prices eventually drop overall I would say the game is 5 stars minus two because it’s expensive I hope this kind of salty run on sentence helps you **Developer response:** Hi, we are sorry to know that our app did not live up to your expectations.
