The game is just really fun to play, it’s one of the only games I play on my phone. Also that guy’s voice sounds familiar. 😉

### 5/5 — Classic arcade fun

*2019-09-18, version 2.0.4*

Parashoot Stan is a modern take on a classic genre with a few neat twists. Do you speed ahead and increase the likelihood of crashing into the plethora of blimps and baddies or take it slow and risk being caught by Baron Bully?

### 5/5 — A perfect game to play on the Toilet (that’s a good thing)

*2019-09-18*

The title seems mean but it’s actually a high compliment! Parachute Stan is a charming game that provides challenge, and with terrific art design. Sometimes I go to the bathroom at work and sit on the toilet just to keep playing the game! High recommendation, you won’t regret it. Great work Gory Detail! 

Also it’s free so come on, it’s a no brainer.

### 4/5 — My current Puap... 😁

*2019-09-18, version 2.0.4*

I go through phases of grabbing games that I can just Pick Up And Play. This is my current fave, grabbed on the pedigree of the devs. 
And that pedigree shows. Lovely production and presentation. And a nice balanced game - balanced enough to keep me chasing my personal best. And I’m determined to have all the doges... 😉😁

### 5/5 — Top of the shop!

*2019-09-17, version 2.0.4*

As usual Gory Detail have created a game with fantastic gameplay, a gorgeous art style and great sound. 

Am sure I recognise some of the voice work too ;)
