### 5/5 — Good Alto/Tiny Wings substitute

*2017-05-20, version 1.01*

I just started playing this game and it is nice. I don’t know if it’s as deep as Alto’s Adventure, but I’m glad that someone is trying to make an original game that captures the peaceful but challenging qualities of it. If you love Alto’s Adventure of Tiny Wings, but are looking for something new, you should give this game a try. So far, I am pleased with how it progressively unfolds.

### 5/5 — Mon dieu!  Une grosse aéro-baleine!

*2017-05-19, version 1.01*

So I ought to begin by saying I love nautical things to begin with, so I'm a bit biased.  However, this cute little app is AMAZING!  It requires enough skill that it can't be beaten in one go, but it's easy enough that anybody young or old could learn to play it.  A+ et MERCI BEAUCOUP, Guillaume, pour ce PARFAIT jeu!  C'est super!

### 5/5 — 5 Stars +

*2017-05-16, version 1.0*

This game is pure delight.

The gameplay, the artwork, the music... it's all put together by a digital master in my opinion.

It's 60fps of pure digital sensory pleasure. Probably my most favorite game app to date. A real treat to play!!!

Truly wonderful!

### 5/5 — Gorgeous, Addictive, and NO IAP! 😃

*2017-05-16, version 1.0*

The best .99 you'll spend this month. On a fun-per-minute basis, the author is basically paying *you* after the first 90m, which you won't even notice have passed.

### 5/5 — Great games

*2017-05-14, version 1.0*

Amazing graphics and a fun relaxing experience

### 5/5 — Endless playability, worth the money.

*2017-05-14, version 1.0*

Game is a lot like altos adventure.

### 5/5 — Beautiful fun!

*2017-05-12, version 1.0*

I've been following the development of this game for a while on the Touch Arcade forums and it's great to be able to play the final product! It's a gorgeous game and really fun. I can see myself playing this for quite some time!

### 1/5 — Игра без смысла

*2018-10-06*

Доходишь до 15 уровня, а там отсутствует одно задание. И игре конец.

### 1/5 — Run-a-whale

*2018-07-19*

Дошёл до 15 уровня и завис по причине нету 1 задания из 3 необходимых что бы пройти дальше

### 1/5 — Неверная цена

*2018-04-03*

Непонятно почему стоимость игры написано 75 р. А сняли с Карты 136 р???

### 3/5 — Not compatible with iphone x

*2018-01-02*

Please make this game compatible with iphone x

### 3/5 — Good

*2017-05-21, version 1.01*

Hmmm... interesting one to review...

Graphics are really lovely, some water blending from the foreground to the background is too harsh though and is distracting.

Animations are nice, like some of the flying and various jumping animations.

Music is very listenable, would like to see some variation of it though as it gets repetitive when you die and have to start over.

Gameplay... almost there though there's something just not right with it. I feel the ocean floor is way too shallow and breaks the flow of jumping in and out. There is no sense of reward, items are very sparse, I wanna feel like there is some action but sadly it's missing.

Great game, just needs a few more updates to get it up to speed.

### 3/5 — Crashes

*2017-05-19, version 1.01*

It's been a pretty fun game but recently has started to crash whenever you hit an obstacle.

### 3/5 — Not bad

Upgrades or something would of been nice. Kind of bland but not bad

### 5/5 — Nice game

*2017-10-07*

Very similar to Alto adventure

### 5/5 — Great

*2017-09-26, version 1.03*

Can't get off the ap

### 5/5 — Fun!

*2017-07-08, version 1.03*

I love this game it is addictive and the graphics are great 👍

### 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!

### 5/5 — Best endless runner of 2017 right here

*2017-06-13, version 1.02*

This title is a blast to play and has an outstanding presentation.
The graphics are superb and the sound design is wonderful.  The boss fights are an also awesome addition. In fact, I wish there was a mode to play the boss fights again after you've beaten them - a timed attack mode or something of that nature.  The bosses are really cool and I'd love to play against them again now that I'm at level 30 and have no more objectives to complete 🤓. This is, of course, an afterthought as this game is an incredible value and I got more than my money's worth from it.

To the developer(s?) - thank you for the outstanding job you've done with this title.   👏 It was exceptionally fun and I hope you release more games of this quality in the future. 👍

### 5/5 — Great game, but stuck!

*2017-06-02, version 1.01*

Has anyone been able to clear the "Bounce on 3 buoys in a row" objective? I've been trying for over a week and it seems impossible.

### 5/5 — Alto's dream in water!

*2017-05-26*

Very beautiful game

### 5/5 — Прикольная игра

*2017-05-22*

### 5/5 — Great fun

*2017-05-20, version 1.01*
