And I can’t understand why here is only one rewiew with 1 star, because game design so cool, game is challenging and interesting, music sound very simple, yet fitting, and helps maintain focus. ### 5/5 — Would love a compatibility update *2026-03-16, version 1.61* I still play occasionally ### 5/5 — Best game for decades *2024-12-30, version 1.61* Love this game. Had it on my phone for over a decade. It’s incredibly well-made, and the music is awesome. There’s no other game I like playing as much. ### 5/5 — Awesome game *2023-08-28* Awesome game but the iPhone screen is not filling up with the game UI. sometimes I register my thumbs out the ui and it doesn’t get recognised and I loose ### 5/5 — How much? *2022-05-30, version 1.61* How much do i gotta pay to get this game updated? Will always pay for this game on my phone and friends phones. Just wish berserk was unlocked by a secret menu, it's all i play non stop ### 5/5 — great game!! *2022-05-18, version 1.61* absolutely love the design ### 5/5 — Awesome beats, controls and graphics *2022-04-07, version 1.61* This is one of the best reflex puzzle kind of games ever made for the touch screen. The soundtrack is sick and the controls haven’t aged a day. It reminds me very much of the game Duet, but this game has its own very original spin on things. Hands down better than that silly Sayonara Wild Hearts game which Apple keeps advertising in Apple Arcade. With Pivvot, when you finish a level, you feel like you’ve truly accomplished something; unlike most modern games which just look flashy but don’t have any substance and don’t require skill. I came back to this game after playing it 7 years ago. It’s still as good as I remember. I would happily purchase it again just to get it updated to the latest iPhone screens (am using an iPhone 13). ### 3/5 — UPDATE THE GAME!!!! *2021-10-24, version 1.61* Not that leaving a review will matter. The email address for help on this game no longer exists. Might as well not download the game if you have a newer phone. Here is why: The game was made when phone screens were smaller. For some reason it doesn’t take up the entire screen so there is an arbitrary border that you have to touch inside to rotate. If you touch just outside that border you don’t rotate and will most likely die because of this. All your progress will start from scratch. You might think oh this isn’t a big deal just start over. Well when you’re trying to beat the hardest difficulty it gets to be pretty infuriating. ### 5/5 — Classic *2020-09-24, version 1.61* Was good then. Is good now. Great track, simple game idea with excellent implementation. Whittaker you dog ## Frequently asked questions about Pivvot ### What is Pivvot?

Go do some loops. - Fixed bug where music would no longer play on some devices - Removed Kamcord recording because they're shutting down - I launched a new game called Piloteer.

I fixed it in this update, but, I blame that darn blood moon. ### 1.57 — 2014-10-21 I. Am. So. Sorry. I know there was a terrible crashing bug in 1.55 and I've been stressing out trying to figure out what was causing it. I *think* I've solved it. I ended up being able to reproduce a crash on one of my iPads and I fixed it. So hopefully that was the only crash. If you update to this version and are *still* getting a crash, please reach out to me at whit@fixpointproductions.com or on twitter at @wtrebella with info! Sorry again!! A poem: Holy cow I feel so bad. What has gotten into me? Promise I will try my best, For I have not forsaken thee Special bonus guest poem by user Diflachebeh who was kind enough to leave Pivvot a five-star review even though he/she was getting the one-star-deserving crash bug: "It's mad fun but as soon as you open the app. It crashes. But not to worry as they will fix it as always and give us a poem. Probably something like. The game is fun. Even with bugs. Now it should run. Now I give you hugs." Diflachebeh, I applaud you for such a glorious poem and generous review. ### 1.55 — 2014-09-24 Fixed: Bug where turning device upside down would result in many on-screen buttons not working Fixed: Bug where sometimes it would get stuck in a weird portrait orientation Poem: Turn it upside down. Turn it on its side. Doesn't matter now! So take it for a ride. ### 1.54 — 2014-08-19 • OpenKit is closing down in September, so I took it out. Now Pivvot is just pure GameCenter all the way! • Your old scores should remain in GameCenter just fine as long as you logged in with GameCenter through OpenKit before. Poem: This update's kinda boring. I know it's not too cool. But it was necessary. I swear I'm not a fool. ## Apps similar to Pivvot | App | Rating | Price | Category | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | [ParkoV: parkour rooftop runner](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/parkov-parkour-rooftop-runner/id1564260627) | 4.6 (25,567) | Free | Games | | [Scribattle](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/scribattle/id301618970) | 5.0 (3) | Free | Games | | [Unpossible](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/unpossible/id583577503) | 4.6 (906) | $1.99 | Games | | [Streaker Run](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/streaker-run/id519321043) | 4.1 (321) | Free | Games | | [Doodle Jump](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/doodle-jump/id307727765) | 4.2 (828) | $1.99 | Games | | [Mr Jump](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/mr-jump/id955157084) | 4.4 (4,174) | Free | Games | ## More apps by Fixpoint Productions Ltd. - [Piloteer](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/piloteer/id932248553) - [Remedy Rush](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/remedy-rush/id1187680401) All apps by Fixpoint Productions Ltd.: https://appshunter.io/developer/454091053 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
