### 5/5 — Very fun

*2026-07-31*

A challenging game but you will aways come back and try to beat you high score

### 5/5 — Great game

*2026-04-16*

Nice simple platformer, not riddled with ads.

### 5/5 — Ripoffs!?!?

*2025-11-04, version 1.3.0*

Blue rodent is a copy of Sonic & Mr Plummer is a bootleg version of Mario

### 2/5 — Abusive ads

*2025-10-30*

"Watch an ad or pay 15 coind to keep going" okay, no thanks *clicks x* then gives an ad ANYWAYS??? If I clicked x it's because I didn't want to spend the next 30 seconds looking ar some silly advertisement! It's like if you went to mcdonald's, and they said "want a combo for 3 dollars extra?" And you said no thanks, and they charged you 3$ anyways!! There's no point in asking!! Disrespectful. Love the game, but wont play it sorry. Maybe if they fixed that. This is giving me orwell's 1984 vibes..

Sucks bc I used to play this game as a teen, I remember way less ads..

### 5/5 — Wow.

*2025-10-09*

Let’s start with the graphics. one word, Miraculous! i love them! and the gameplay is so cool! the characters don’t really have anything unique but i still like this tubular game :)

### 1/5 — Schade

*2025-07-27, version 1.3.0*

Ich geben zu , es gab ein kommentar der mich gelockt hat das spiel zu versuchen ( es gibt einen kleinen metroid ) aber ich bin auf grund der steuerung nicht dorthin gekommen … die steuerung ist ( meine Meinung) nicht schõn , ich würde gern selber entscheiden wann ich laufe und wann nicht. Aber sonst vom Design her ? Super !! Sehr schöne Grafik.

Trotzdem wünsche ich dem entwicklerstudio , weiterhin erfolg🖤

### 1/5 — Bug riddled game

*2025-01-25*

I loved this game but now it’s riddled with bugs.

- The ‘Remove ads button’ doesn’t actually remove any ads (even after charging you for it!)
- The ‘Remove ads button’ doesn’t get ‘disabled’ after you make a purchase, allowing you to make duplicate purchases.
- You can’t get a refund for any in-app purchases 
- Watching an ad to get another try still takes 15 coins!!

Taking an indefinite break from Nitrome games.

### 5/5 — Great game, never get bored

*2024-10-17*

It’s great game honestly, it’s the most difficult and challenging games I have seen before, all the characters are cool, very nostalgic, and also easy to get coins! I got 11k coins easily. Solid game still good in late 2024 and also compatible with iPhones well

### 2/5 — Needs Option to Remove Ads

*2024-09-25*

Great game, but add show up WAY too often. Give us an option to pay for ad free!!

### 5/5 — super addicted

*2024-09-12*

a friend recommended this game to me as a challenge, and now im completely addicted. this game is so underrated! the pixel style art is super cool and the animations are neat. highly recommend!!
