## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Not enough info

*2019-02-10, version 1.0*

Sorry, but there’s almost no information about how anything works, and I get bored watching a pixel bounce forever on the bottom level because there’s no (explained) way to go up when there’s no horizontal bar to jump to. Deleted. Thanks anyway.

### 1/5 — Garbage

*2019-01-27, version 1.0*

Not fun at all - can’t complain too much though as it was free..  I did however delete it immediately after attempting to play it and requested apple remove it from my collection of apps..

### 2/5 — Bouncing pixel

*2019-04-09, version 1.0*

You play as a constantly bouncing square like the old Atari Adventure game. You can move left and right to as you bounce to exit the level.  

I found the CRT effects rough on the eyes and no way to turn it off. Controls are a bite loose, but not deal breaking. No way to know what level you are on and what the diamonds do on each level and how important it is to collect. 

In the end I got stuck on a water level because I could not bounce high enough to escape the level. So the game is either broken or the physics need to be explained better.

### 3/5 — It’s a fun game but

*2019-02-20, version 1.0*

It’s too difficult too quick

### 3/5 — Fun but ridiculously hard!

*2018-12-17, version 1.0*

The game is fun and it has a great style. My problem is that a lot of the game is about pixel perfect jumps and just plain luck on a few. I get it is supposed to be hard but I feel like it needs a small amount of tweaking on some levels to fix the difficulty.

### 4/5 — Charming and fun

*2019-01-11, version 1.0*

This is a simple little game with a challenging and addictive loop. Sometimes the controls don’t seem responsive but maybe the touch zones just need to be made more clear. Either way, it’s worth picking up. Lots of fun to be had here if you don’t throw your phone after hitting a spike for the 78th time.

### 4/5 — Great platformer!

*2018-12-20, version 1.0*

The game is surprisingly addicting. Controls are really solid and the maps are well made. I’ve made it pretty far and have been a fan of these type of games. My only complaint is the wall climb that makes you shoot up the wall when you first touch the wall is annoying. I would honestly get rid of that because it sorts of ruin that pixel perfect jump when you’re not aiming for it. Other than that, great job and hope to see more.

### 5/5 — Epic

*2021-02-17, version 1.2*

Game good 
Cube bounce
epic

### 5/5 — Didn't think I'd make it

*2019-02-18, version 1.0*

Nice game, but I fear if I play it much more I'll have to start taking blood pressure medication.

Edit: Finally made it home. No myocardial infarctions, but definitely not for the faint of heart!

### 5/5 — Challenging

*2019-02-09, version 1.0*

It’s a tough game. Persistence is the key. I haven’t run into anything yet that seemed too impossible, but I’m probably only about halfway. Which not being able to see what level you’re on or track progress is kind of lame. Also, it would be nice if there was a way to replay levels and collect diamonds that were missed. Other than that, visuals, controls, gameplay are all excellent. I really like how you immediately restart after dying too. No wait time in between. Which is good, because you die a lot.

This is such a great game. I love the visuals. The CRT effect is perfect. The gameplay is amazing and addictive. Really enjoy it. It’s mechanics are basic but hard to master. The perfect combo. Fantastic job

### 5/5 — Simple and fun

*2019-01-10, version 1.0*

Perfect game to play casually, the movements of the character are unique and interesting and I love the retro feel.

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2019-01-10, version 1.0*

Ok I played like the first four or five levels so far. Cool game, dope music. I’m really enjoying it!!!
