### 3/5 — Keeps crashing but fun

*2015-05-29, version 1.0.2*

This game is fun but it keeps crashing every 2 minutes so the levels dont save

### 2/5 — Could be good, but...

*2015-04-24, version 1.0.2*

It's clearly calibrated so that you need to either buy or farm coins if you want to play levels in worlds 2 and above. I get why, but it makes this tedious. I already have a job - I don't need another.
Updated review, since I've progressed further: this games controls are terrible. Even when you know precisely what you need to do, you'll find yourself doing it over and over and over and over because you'll have to execute several swift moves consecutively, which all share similarities, so your chance of not screwing up is tiny.
Good puzzles otherwise but until this all changes it will never be a great game.

### 2/5 — Quickly wants your money/time

*2015-04-14, version 1.0.2*

Pros: fun, easy to learn, quickly becomes challenging 

Cons: relies on a coin collection to advance to higher levels. Soon you will run out of coins, leaving you to pay or watch advertisements to continue to play. Or you can play the levels you have completed over and over again to snag a chance to continue where you left off. Controls are not very responsive.

### 2/5 — Fun concept; horrible controls!

*2015-04-13, version 1.0.2*

First of all, don't believe all the five-star reviews, which all seem to have been posted within a day of one another. Really, 40 people all played the game in a day and every single one gave it the top rating? Probably friends of the developer or paid.
This could be a great game, but it's ruined by the absolutely horrible controls! For a game that often requires split-second timing and precise stopping within a fraction of an inch, the controls are particularly bad. It's hard to stop, hard to turn tight corners, and because you use the same motion to shoot and to stop, you often end up shooting where you didn't intend to (which can force you to restart an entire level)!
Enjoyable concept and good puzzling. Fix the controls and you'll have a winner!

### 2/5 — Cool but flawed

*2015-04-09, version 1.0.2*

It's a very good and funny game but keeps crashing.
If the bugs (sorry for the pun) are sorted out it will score five stars from me.
Here's hoping.

### 4/5 — Good Game - Addictive

*2015-04-09, version 1.0.2*

Good game with short levels 👍. Kind of addictive. Slightly repetitive.

### 5/5 — AWESOME

*2015-04-09, version 1.0.2*

It's really fun and the only game I've actually kept on my phone! It's different from all other games I've played and the sound effects are great!!!

### 3/5 — In one word?

*2015-04-09, version 1.0.2*

Eh.

### 5/5 — Beautiful graphics and animation

*2015-04-08, version 1.0.2*

Not only beautiful, but smooth and addictive gameplay!

### 5/5 — Fun and challenging

*2015-04-08, version 1.0.2*

Phil the pill has great sights and sounds with lots of goofy stuff thrown in.  It may take a couple of levels to master the controls but the game play is excellent.

### 5/5 — Great

*2015-04-08, version 1.0.2*

Los primero niveles son fáciles, pero conforme vas avanzando aumenta su dificultad, es entretenido y divertido. Descárguenlo !

### 5/5 — A creative adventure!

*2015-04-08, version 1.0.2*

### 5/5 — Delightful

*2015-04-08, version 1.0.2*

### 1/5 — Awful

*2020-12-05, version 2.0.6*

Crashes regularly and awful control system.

### 1/5 — Apple TV 4K

*2020-11-28, version 2.0.6*

It doesn't load the first level even so i can't recognize if game's good or bad

### 1/5 — Wrong!

*2015-05-07, version 1.0.2*

World 3 stage 11!

    What's wrong with the beginning of the level. Does not like taking the Crud! There's impossible!

World 4 stage 24

   There's just 2 pill bug. Not 3

### 1/5 — This game stanks more than hank!

*2015-04-15, version 1.0.2*

When I first got the app, I was really exited to play! But, when I went on world 1, it automaticaly crashed! I didn't even have any apps on! This has went on for a total of 639 times until I gave up! There you have it folks! It's terrible! I wouldn't download this app if I were you.

### 1/5 — Umm...

*2015-04-09, version 1.0.2*

I downloaded this game to have something to do on my 6 our flight. Reading the reviews, it sounded like a decent game, and I bet it is. But as soon as I play the first stage, collect the first coin, the game crashes. Tried again, same result. To my prior knowledge, this game is broken on 4s.

### 1/5 — "Puzzle" Game

*2015-04-07, version 1.0.2*

Tedious and requires no thinking. There is also a paywall.

### 1/5 — -

*2015-04-07, version 1.0.2*

На 4-ке при запуске первого уровня вылетает игра((( испровляйте!!!!

### 1/5 — 👎

*2015-04-06, version 1.0*

Takes forever to load, glitches, crashes, closes. Maybe the developers should have finished the app before releasing it, just an idea.

### 1/5 — Whaaat?

*2015-04-06, version 1.0*

I gotta play each level 2x because advancing costs 50 coins?? Whaaat? Straight away deleted. Game looks quite good though

### 1/5 — Avoid this app

*2015-04-06, version 1.0*

Pay wall within the first 10 minutes. Not engaging or challenging in the slightest (no progression) waste of a download, another child scamming app.

Esta bueno para pasar el rato mientras escuchas música, algún podcast o estás en el baño xd

### 5/5 — Классная игра!

*2016-02-17, version 2.0.4*

Ребят меня игра затянула с первых уровней прикольно чтобы поубивать время и вообще прикольно себя чувствовать крутым тараканом раздающим трендюлей направо и налево всяким вонючим червякам и улиткам

### 5/5 — Great puzzler for iOS!

*2015-12-09, version 2.0.4*

I had my eye on this game for a while there, but I was waiting to buy it since it's paid. TOTALLY. WORTH. YOUR. MONEY. Tons of levels, challenging but not impossible. Fun controls and overall great gameplay. If you're thinking about getting it, just do it. It's great!

### 5/5 — New Apple TV
