### 5/5 — Get rewarded for Smashing Pumpkins

*2022-10-26, version 1.0.1*

Love the game! Easy to play but challenging at the same time. Killer rewards too!

### 5/5 — The best sideshow game yet!

*2022-10-26, version 1.0.1*

Each game they release gets better and better! Keep up the great work.

### 5/5 — FUN AND FRUSTRATING at the same time!

*2022-10-26, version 1.0.1*

Great game! Lots of fun even for my kids to play! The graphics are cute too. It's addicting but fun, yet frustrating lol. Great job to the designer!

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2022-10-26, version 1.0.1*

Fun game test your skills

### 5/5 — Fun and family friendly

A quick addicting game that is very fun and fun for the entire family.  Should be a classic soon.

### 5/5 — Simple Fun

*2022-10-25, version 1.0.1*

Do it for the rewards have fun while doing it

### 5/5 — Fun, rewarding, but too short

*2022-10-25*

Sure, I get the intention of the game, but it’s too short. I hope you continue developing the game out, randomize levels, and add more complexity. All in all, good first outing for mobile. I’m still not sure if I like this or the web ser sideshow game design best though.

Either way, thanks for the fun game.

### 5/5 — Simple and fun!

*2022-10-24, version 1.0.1*

So simple and fun make me want to create my own game

### 5/5 — Brilliant!

*2022-10-24*

I love this game so much! Heaps of fun and not too hard. I was able to secure the incredibly generous codes which made it even better. Now to the arcade mode!

### 5/5 — Sideshow Nails It!

*2022-10-23, version 1.0.1*

Great game for all Sideshow fans. The latest Sir Sideshow is so much fun.  The whole family was playing today.

### 5/5 — Very Fun Game

*2022-10-23, version 1.0.1*

Loved the platformer-type game. Bosses were challenging.

### 5/5 — Ceco strikes again!

*2022-10-23, version 1.0.1*

Such a fun new take on Ser Sideshow! The main game is a ton of fun and I know I’ll be addicted to arcade for a while. Just wish we had more levels and bosses.

### 5/5 — Fun quick game

*2022-10-23, version 1.0.1*

Fun game. The only thing I can fault it for is being over too quickly!

### 5/5 — Arcade mode is addicting!

*2022-10-23, version 1.0.1*

The arcade mode of this game gives you the sense of the old school arcades of the 80s. You know the kind where the ultimate goal is to be number one on the list of those ‘three initial’ semi-anonymous rankings. “Who is FDR?!” If someone takes your spot, they’re is nothing that will stop you from trying to conquer the competition. The graphics are fun and I can’t wait to see what comes next!

### 1/5 — Expired discounts?

*2024-04-26, version 3.0.2*

The title. Why would they do this too me 😭

### 3/5 — Needs Bluetooth controller support

*2025-02-18*

I would easily give this a four or a five star if it came with the ability to use a Bluetooth controller. I find myself sometimes missing the up and down button causing me to lose health in those more hectic upper levels, If this were added, I feel the game would be much enjoyable to play.

### 4/5 — Doing this for a scribble

*2022-10-26, version 1.0.1*

The newest installment of the Ser Sideshow saga comes to iOS with more pew pew and less hop hop.

4 stars because of a lack of sentient Almonds.

### 5/5 — Phony Phantoms

*2025-11-07, version 5.0.2*

Love the game and the weekly Challenges as they are reasonable and fun.  My son loves it as well!

### 5/5 — Awesome Game!

*2022-11-12, version 1.0.2*

I finished all nine levels while waiting for my flight at the airport.  You could earn Rewards that you could apply toward a Side Show purchase.

### 5/5 — Surprisingly addictive

*2022-10-29, version 1.0.2*

Easy to pick up, and over before you know it. In this case, it only means that you’re left wanting more. Hope to see future expansions for the next Spooktacular!

### 5/5 — Love it!!

*2022-10-27, version 1.0.2*

So much fun to play and super addicting. I hope the game continues to get more developed so we can play all year long!

### 5/5 — Amazing game

*2022-10-27, version 1.0.2*

Thanks for this sideshow. This one so much better than playing in the browser with keyboard. Keep it up! Can’t wait for next years!

### 5/5 — Way better than the web version

*2022-10-26, version 1.0.1*

This makes it so much easier playing the game for rewards than the web version is always gave me issues, with the game app it’s much easier to play l, making the action smooth and crisp instead of laggy and messed up interface like the web version is

### 5/5 — Great game!

*2022-10-26, version 1.0.1*

It a fun game and very well designed.

### 5/5 — Fun with Ser Sideshow

*2022-10-26, version 1.0.1*

Between the button-mashing and jumping to escape skeleton ghosties, this is the most fun workout I’ve had all week. Thanks, Sideshow!

### 5/5 — Addicted

*2022-10-26, version 1.0.1*

I have been addicted to this since I first tried it. Not only do you get rewards in one mode but the challenge to beat my high score keeps me trying time and time again.

### 5/5 — Another great game from Sideshow

*2022-10-26, version 1.0.1*

Sideshow has put out games to play on the desktop but this is their 1st app game and it’s FANTASTIC! Addicting to play, cool visuals and the bonus rewards to use on the Sideshow Collectibles website is awesome. Try to beat the high score, if you can.
