But… *2024-07-25, version 1.06* Please move the “free cp” or allow us to turn off advertisement pop ups I dont like using a second life, nor do I need free cp; when I try to restart immediately in after failing I often accidentally hit one of the above I dont care if I have to pay for this option, I will do so gladly if I must ### 4/5 — can't activate Sherlock mode in main game *2024-02-14, version 1.06* big fan of this game, it's a great way to kill time. i can activate Sherlock mode in Saturn mode but not the regular game. I know I'm playing fast enough too. would be five stars otherwise ### 4/5 — Incorrect country *2021-08-14, version 1.05* So…I was playing old tv and I found that ISRAEL was in Asia which is incorrect I know this because I know my geography and apparently this game doesn’t ISRAEL ISIN AFRICA NOT ASIA!!!!!!!!!!!But apart from that the game is good,just one question,what does Sherlock mode do???? ### 4/5 — Yes *2021-07-07, version 1.05* I’ve played this game for a long time could use some things in settings for looks but is really good and I’m glad it’s made it to the App Store this is really the pog champ moment ### 3/5 — Great when it works *2021-05-19* Overall, a well made game with an original cool concept. I played it a while ago and just recently redownload it. Except for some reason this now REQUIRES data/WiFi? I used to play it in the car on long trips etc, and I don’t remember that ever being a problem. But now, if you try to open it without data/WiFi it immediately closes. Every single time. Which means I can no longer do it on car/plane rides which is sortof why I downloaded it again. ### 2/5 — Crashes all the time *2020-10-29, version 1.05* The app is very fun when I can play it and I would a lot more but the app crashes almost every single time I go to open it. This is super annoying as otherwise it would’ve been a great game. I’ve used it on my other iPhones and get the same problem please fix this!!! ### 2/5 — вылетает на ios 13.4.1 *2020-05-26, version 1.05* но при активации интернета игра работает ### 4/5 — Game is fun *2019-10-20, version 1.05* Very fun game, I own the PC version as well. 4 stars because I paid to remove ads and ads are still there. ### 4/5 — Amazing, but can’t reach saturn.. *2019-10-05, version 1.05* Listen. It’s definitely a solid game, and I would give it a 5/5 rating if not for the fact that I have no idea how to get to the infinite mode. I know that on computer you have to press space, but I have no clue how to do it on mobile. Plus, I already have all the prerequisites (complete the game, 300cp) ### 4/5 — Fun and all, but something doesn’t seem right *2019-08-26* I really like the game a lot, with the concept and the interesting gameplay. There was something I don’t understand though; such as a mode called Sherlock mode. This option to turn on and off doesn’t seem to work. I did as fast as I can, even less than 0.6 seconds, I don’t seem to get it. Since that’s not working, it’s a minus star for that, but overall, I like it. Really appreciate the game and the creation from steam in the first place. ### 3/5 — Confusing *2019-05-02, version 1.05* How do I even understand the game at the start? There is no tutorial ### 3/5 — Bom mas nao funciona mais *2019-03-30, version 1.05* O jogo é incrível mas começou a travar e fechar sozinho. Ao retornar, volta pro estágio inicial, fazendo com que tudo seja perdido. Que pena! ### 4/5 — 遊戲性不錯 *2019-03-28, version 1.05* 雖然是個不錯的遊戲 但是遊戲常常閃退是否能改善 唯一美中不足的地方 ### 5/5 — Cool *2019-01-15, version 1.05* Played it on steam as a follower of the creators of another weird game “only if” I like it but on this mobile version, Sherlock won’t activate... I got this with no issue on the steam version but it just won’t work on mobile.... How do you activate the Sherlock achievement on mobile???? ### 2/5 — 傷眼 *2019-01-02, version 1.05* 好傷眼睛的遊戲，玩了一場眼睛都要壞了 ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — sherlock mode is not activated *2024-06-08, version 1.06* Sherlock mode is not activated when the combo is connected. please fix. ### 1/5 — Crashes *2019-11-18, version 1.05* Game just crashes every time at startup. Gives made by unity and some message about epileptic and “crash” Couldn’t even give it a try. Needs actual testing. Uninstalled since it doesn’t work. ### 1/5 — Umm *2019-10-26, version 1.05* Everything is literally in Korean. I can’t figure out how to change it to English. ### 1/5 — Please fix *2019-05-29, version 1.05* I can’t play. I can’t even open this app ### 1/5 — Не весь функционал *2019-03-07, version 1.05* В игре не продумана отмена, когда коснулся неправильной стороны экрана, но можно передумать. В пк смена канала происходит при отпускании кнопки, можно не отпуская одну нажать и отпустить другую и тем самым переключить канал. Здесь же при тех же действиях происходит черти что ### 1/5 — 傷眼的糞game *2018-11-27, version 1.05* 一直閃，我都快瞎掉了。 青色是怎樣？！ 那個根本不是青色👎👎👎👎👎👎👎 ### 1/5 — Ads Ads Ads Ads Ads Ads Ads *2018-11-10, version 1.05* Couldn’t get through a full game because of all the ads... an ad comes on after the first colour choice then black screen for a few seconds then back to the main menu and the process begins again after each attempt to play the game. Deleted the app... ### 1/5 — No idea *2018-10-13, version 1.05* How to play this game ### 1/5 — Horrible! *2018-08-19, version 1.05* This game will make you go blind! My eyes were hurting 2 minutes into playing! ### 1/5 — Ads ads ads *2018-08-18, version 1.05* Clicked continue ehich means i have to watch an which i did after the ad finsihed the scrren stayed black and a few seconds later another ad started and finished and once again the screen went black and another ad started and finished but this time i was sent back to main menu without being able to continue my run 0/10 most broke game ever made ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — 広まれ *2025-09-11, version 1.06* コンセプトからビジュアル、難易度まで全てちょうど良く楽しく遊べました！ もっと大事に遊びたかったくらい 音声ON推奨です 雰囲気&難易度増すので ### 5/5 — OLDTV is Great and am tuned for whats to come next *2025-03-30* So This Game got an update for mobile and i think it was because due to the development of BACK OF SPACE the so called OLDTV sequeI. cant wait till that gets release and I wonder if that game will actually get a mobile port. The game's concept is insanely great and i feel like a lot of underrated games that are like that. Look at FEZ, its has a different concept of gameplay and its underrated. Now the Soundtrack is really good and i think its my favorite part about of the game. Lastly, OLDTV is great and the COLDTV DLC is nice but one thing i don't like is that this game is free on steam and it doesnt have that but on mobile it has FORCED ads. Also on the steam version, Its much easier to get a combo skip. I Bought the COLDTV DLC twice on two devices, time and money well spent :) ### 5/5 — Ничего себе *2023-08-25, version 1.05* Купил пять лет назад, с кучей игр на скидках. Запустил чисто в толчке чекнуть, приятно удивлен ### 5/5 — A good game *2020-03-31, version 1.05* This a非常牛pi s game！very easy！nicceee！捏heyhey！ ### 5/5 — Genius devs *2020-01-31, version 1.05* The design and overall experience is too notch! Really love the game also how the Ad experience is added into the game is pure genius! 👏 ### 5/5 — Infinitive mode and snake *2019-08-24, version 1.05* Turn ur phone around for infinitive mode Hold for snake minigame ### 5/5 — No le entiendo *2019-07-21, version 1.05* La verdad, si esta muy bueno por lo que dicen, incluso le doy 5 estrellas, lo único que quiero agregar es que soy daltónico 🥺 y algunos de los colores que salen no los distingo y pierdo 😂. Pero es muy entretenido 🙌🏽😌 ### 5/5 — Стиль *2019-06-21, version 1.05* Простой, но интересный и неочевидный геймплей. Авторы превратили классический онлайн-тест на реакцию в игру. Мало того, они поместили это в телевизионную коробку, сделав игру очень стильно. В такое не только интересно, но и безумно приятно играть. Переключи канал. ### 5/5 — amazing game *2019-04-03, version 1.05* it’s so fun and addictive ### 5/5 — Best game i have *2019-03-12* This is a fun, simple, and well designed game. The graphics and sounds are super trippy as well. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
