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 — Most fun I’ve ever had on the toilet. *2019-04-22* No s#!t. ### 5/5 — Stan! *2019-01-26* This game has been around for a long time. I have kept it with me since my first iPhone 4s. I’m impressed that the developers are still updating it. This is one of 4 of my legacy games. Other apps have come and gone. Glad this one is still around. Keep it alive gang. ### 5/5 — Great fun! *2019-01-26, version 2.0.2* Fun game with a very unique style. The controls take some getting used to, but that’s the point! Persevere a little and you’ll soon be having a ball. Graphics and sound are also outstanding. ### 5/5 — Fun but difficult. *2018-11-06* The controls are initially frustrating, but after a little playtime it becomes apparent that the controls were designed this way as part of the challenge of controlling a free-falling soldier. Recommend this game, for sure. ### 5/5 — Could only be the work of Chris *2017-05-14* People worldwide express their talents through game creation. However, no one adds that specific charm Chris Seavor has always had. ### 5/5 — Chris Seavor *2016-04-24* Keep making great games! I love parachute Stan and the classic Conker's BDF! You're awesome! ### 5/5 — A hidden gem *2015-03-12* GG Chris G effing G ### 5/5 — Awesome *2015-01-29* Awesome game made by the workers at Rare. Ltd. ### 4/5 — Fun *2014-08-23, version 1.1* Needs more diversity with character and scenic options but fun and creative. ### 3/5 — A 4 star game turned to 3 *2014-05-02, version 1.1* This is definitely a 4 star game. I don't believe anything is perfect. However the controls leave much to be desired. I feel like there is a delay between my movements on my phone and what happens on screen. I'll have to revisit this if such an update comes out. ### 3/5 — Clever *2014-04-21, version 1.1* Graphics not too bad. ### 5/5 — Very fun *2014-04-15, version 1.1* This game is really fun and awesome ### 5/5 — Head over heels fun!! *2014-04-11, version 1.1* Who thought falling would be fun? Great little game. ### 5/5 — Epic *2014-04-10, version 1.1* This is sooooo epic ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Won't run 3GS *2014-11-12, version 1.2.1* Won't run on 3GS/iOS6.1.6 (JB). Opens to Gory Detail screen then crash. Tried reboot, restart, delete, reinstall, reboot, reinstall again, etc, still no go. ### 1/5 — Crashes *2014-04-18, version 1.1* It crashes. ### 1/5 — Crash *2014-04-11, version 1.1* It crashes when ever the welcome back message comes from game centre or any other notification ### 1/5 — Age *2014-04-11, version 1.1* I'll give it more stars when GDL puts an appropriate age rating on it. ### 1/5 — PESIMO JUEGO! Lo peor... *2014-04-09, version 1.1* Tiene muy malos diseños, es un desperdicio de buenas gráficas. El juego es muy típico, "Es el mismo perro, pero revolcado"; ya existen muchos juegos muy similares, pero con mejores diseños y mucho mas llamativos. ### 1/5 — Not worth the download *2014-04-07, version 1.1* Game freezes as soon as it loads gamecentre. ### 1/5 — Really disappointing. *2013-06-24, version 1.0.1* But what else is new from Rare and its progeny over the last decade? ### 1/5 — App crashes!!! *2013-02-09, version 1.0.1* Since the latest update the app will not load without crashing!!! ### 1/5 — Dreary *2013-01-02, version 1.0* So dull. Awful controls. I'm surprised at the number of 5* reviews. It feels as though the reputation of the people behind the game is being applauded, rather than the tedious style-over-substance tedium on offer here. ### 2/5 — Boring. *2014-04-14, version 1.1* Controls are horrible. It is almost impossible to sit in the middle of the screen. All you do is fall and try to escape some dudes plane. You can change your tie and what animal shows up but I didn't play long enough to care. The art is gorgeous though. I will give it that. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Still fun . . . *2024-12-26* . . . after a couple of years away ### 5/5 — Cool 😎 *2024-01-22, version 2.0.4* Absolutely brilliant work, well done 👏. For its age this game really stands up. 😁🫣👏👏👏 ### 5/5 — Great game *2022-01-30* One of my favorite games very challenging but easy to play ### 5/5 — Review *2020-06-07* What a wonderful game with great graphics, charming characters awesome art can’t wait for New game from Chris ### 5/5 — Great game from Great Developers! *2020-02-17, version 2.0.4* Would definitely recommend to anyone. ### 5/5 — Fricken Amazing *2019-10-14* 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. ### 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 ;) ### 5/5 — Very fun not too hard *2019-04-27* Look if your reading reviews says it’s hard it’s because they don’t know how to use there device. It’s not hard and it’s a blast every part of it. Would be neat if there was a landing part but that’s ok I still love it!!! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
