### 5/5 — I like it

*2026-03-17, version 1.0.1*

I find this to be really fun, I have confirmed it works with AirPods Pro 3, and it can work with AirPods 4 ANC, but they can be a bit finicky. The sensitivity with the 4’s is weird, but it does still work.

### 1/5 — AirPods 4(ANC)

*2026-03-02*

Not supported

### 5/5 — 游戏还行。就是速度太快了。 太容易死了

*2025-11-06, version 1.0.1*

太容易死了

### 1/5 — Device Compatibility Lacking

*2025-10-19, version 1.0.1*

The fact that this game isn’t compatible with the latest AirPods is unbelievable to me. It’s like they engineered backwards.

### 1/5 — Not recognising the Airpods 2

*2025-10-01, version 1.0*

When I want to start ot said reconnect the pods despite being connected.

### 3/5 — I hope it gets better.

*2025-10-01, version 1.0*

The game has great ideas, but the frame time stability and graphics are obnoxiously bad. I hope it gets some form of monetization soon, or maybe a spot on Apple Arcade, so they can have more time/money to iterate on the idea.

### 1/5 — DOA

*2025-10-01, version 1.0*

Does not work with AirPod Pro 2 USB with iPhone 16 Pro. Cannot detect AirPods.

### 1/5 — Cannot Play

*2025-09-30, version 1.0*

Repeatedly tells me that my AirPods are disconnected even though both of my AirPod Pro 3’s are in my ears…

Maybe it’s polling my AirPod Pro Max’s as being disconnected. If so, that’s poor coding. I’m not gonna “forget” my other devices just to play this game

### 3/5 — Innovative

*2025-09-30, version 1.0*

A good start to something very novel, it might have people looking at you funny though. Might I suggest a calibration method or some sort of “level setting” mechanism. My AirPods seemed to have a left tilt bias no matter what I did. This is a 1.0.0 release so I get it. Keep up the innovative work though!

### 3/5 — Play music first

*2025-09-30, version 1.0*

I kept getting a message AirPods weren’t connected even though the were.  Once I played music through them though it fixed that and worked.  It’s a basic game but interesting.  There is an option to accelerate/decelerate by tilting your head forward and back but that is really hard because you can’t stay focused on the screen - I feel that would be better if you just tilted the phone up and down instead for acceleration and your head forward steering
