### 5/5 — Best runner since Alto and Jetpack Joyride

*2017-06-28, version 1.03*

This app is fantastic. It runs great and looks awesome in the Unity engine. First time I launched it crashed but after that I haven't had an issue. Can't wait to see what else the developer bring out with updates. Solid game with responsive mechanics.

### 5/5 — Super addictive, stunning graphics

*2017-06-26, version 1.03*

I absolutely love Run-A-Whale!! I first heard about it on App Advice and thought it looked like fun with gorgeous graphics, so I tried it out. I love how there are three goals in each level and I am always competing with myself to try to get all three goals in one run. The whales are all really well designed and I love all the silly hats. The bosses are the best part! I've beaten the game twice already and just started it again for a third time because I simply can't stop!
