### 5/5 — Where is DoomedMobile Now?

*2015-12-30*

I had originally bought this app back in 2011 and really enjoyed this simple, but yet, fun game. I was 11 years old at that time, as years passed I deleted the game and continued on to others. At the time of this writing it is 2015, and I'm now 16. For some reason I thought of redownloading this title, so I did. I played a few good runs, but when I clicked the "info" tab I noticed none of the links are no longer running. DoomedMobile's website and Facebook page are gone, and a new mobile game hasn't been developed by this studio. I'm surprised that this game is still available to download. The "info" tab had a nice bio for the game too as it talked about the team's small "collective" group of two members that are developing games "before the end of the world." At 2011 that little bio showed the potential of what was to come of this small studio, but the only "end" that came was the studio's demise. If the remnants of DoomedMobile are still checking up on their games on the App Store and read what I'm typing up right now. Let me just say, I'm still waiting for a Paper Cut 2, or at least an update of what you guys are now doing, and if not, I would like to thank you for this small app that brought lots of enjoyment to a small 11 year old boy :)

**Developer response:** Hey there Acecr. That's a really touching review. We did this as a passion project in our spare time and it sounds cliche but knowing that something we created could provide just a little bit of joy for someone is truly amazing. I'll have you know the two of us who worked on Papercut are still alive and kicking. I stumbled upon your review a few months ago and was so inspired that I decided to pop open the project and at the very least update Papercut! for current OS versions and iOS devices. There's even an apple TV version coming right behind it that I'm particularly excited about. The goal is to just recreate it (Papercut need to be rebuilt from scratch) as to not change the experience much from what it was. The last thing we want to do is pull a George Lucas and "update" it and let the original disappear. This is more of a first step into a new beginning. We're brewing with ideas and are jumping back into this satisfying world of app development once more. 

Thanks again.

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2015-03-21*

No iOS 9 support? Ridiculous.

### 1/5 — COPIED

*2014-08-25, version 1.0.0*

this game is a cheap knock off from an awesome game called MONSTER DASH. get monster dash and not this.

### 5/5 — Amazing Game

*2013-12-04, version 1.0.0*

A very simplistic and artistically styled game. The soundtrack always leaves me waiting for the chorus and the day and night cycle just add to the games detail. The developers did a fantastic job with this app; beautiful -10/10 stars.

### 2/5 — Lame

*2012-12-07, version 1.0.0*

Why get boring crap when you can get temple run for free!

### 1/5 — Dumbest game EVER!!!!!👎😡👎😡👎😡

*2012-07-09, version 1.0.0*

This is a stupid game. I'll tell you why.
1. Copy of better games
2. Poor coding (crashes lots and uses lots of space on my iPod Touch)
3. The game does not progress (eg. First easy monsters, then tougher ones, then even tougher ones still and so on)
I personally think all games should progress.

This is why I hate it. Fortunately for me, the time when I got this it was free.
😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠

### 5/5 — Amazing!

*2012-05-05, version 1.0.0*

What an addictive, easy to use game. The graphics are pretty cool, and the info section made me laugh. :) But the music is amazing, it makes me feel so happy. :'( one of the best games so far, thanks a bunch. :D

### 5/5 — My favorite

*2012-04-20*

I've had this game for who knows how long. I usually delete apps after not playing them for a while. This is truly one of my favorite games. The art and music is just beautiful. The sound option would be a nice addition for when I'm listening to other music, but it's no biggie. :)

### 5/5 — Wow!

*2012-02-05, version 1.0.0*

Play this when you've completed temple run its amazing :)

### 3/5 — Well...

*2012-01-30, version 1.0.0*

It was ok but got really boring
