### 1/5 — Gets ridiculously hard

*2020-09-01, version 1.0*

..and erm, yeah: it gets ridiculously hard by the 6th level. Not for me, sorry!

### 1/5 — Controls are poorly designed

*2018-11-03*

The gameplay is fun but you guys have totally destroyed it with such poor controls for the left and right buttons. 

You need to improve it asap!

### 2/5 — Bit boring really....

*2017-05-03, version 1.0*

Left button is quite unresponsive or as someone else said maybe too small, generally the game is a bit dull, same level, not too exciting. Feels like a mini game trying to be a full title...

### 3/5 — Please update for iPhone x

*2018-11-04, version 1.0*

Please update it for iPhone x

### 3/5 — Could be great with a simple fix

*2017-05-01, version 1.0*

The buttons are way too small, too many times have I mis-clicked and not moved when it is vital to. The game is all about pace and if I cannot click the buttons without having to check my thumb is over left/right then the game isn't natural to play. Either add an option to change the size of the buttons or add a zonal button option, I.e left side of screen moves left, middle is jump, right moves right. Please implement a fix to this, it will improve it greatly!

### 4/5 — An idea

*2017-12-25, version 1.0*

An idea,you can try to make local because i want to play with my brother and he want to play with me to.

So can you add local for this games please

Goodbye👋

### 4/5 — Fun

*2017-04-30, version 1.0*

If you like super crate box, this is up your alley. Controls are responsive but wish there was more customization. Hard to play on iPad. Apple TV and controller support would make this a must have!

### 5/5 — PENARIUM

*2018-06-06, version 1.0*

this is the best game in the entire universe, you should be hero’s !

### 5/5 — Great

*2017-05-11*

This is a call back to the early Mario platform arena game with the POW block. Lovely design, artwork and gameplay. Incredible this isn't more popular. Just sayin'...

### 5/5 — Great Frustrating Game

*2017-05-04*

I mean that in a good way. It's a fun, addicting and fast paced 2D puzzle red. My only critique is that when you play on an iPad. The LEFT/RIGHT controls need to be further placed from the center of the screen. I know there are options, but I still feel like I'm playing with the buttons to close to the center. It becomes an annoyance.

### 5/5 — game prett gud

*2017-05-04*

yee game was gud, not much tu say lel

### 5/5 — Extremely addictive!

*2017-04-28*

Finally a game that is pure. No in app purchases, no commercials, just earn the coins by playing. Sadly it is extremely addictive and my social life suffers. But I have Willy, good old Willy.

### 5/5 — This game is a blast to play.

*2017-04-28*

I've been waiting for Super Crate Box to get updated. This game satisfies. Still waiting though.
