### 4/5 — Super fun game

*2026-06-22, version 1.10.5*

This game is really fun to go through but far too short in my opinion. The endless modes don’t see to have a lot to them and there isn’t enough map variety. Otherwise the gameplay feels really good (aside from weird hit boxes) and the main levels are really fun. The outfits and skins are a nice addition too. Overall I think this game is super fun and really good! I just wish it had more content.

### 3/5 — Need swipe controls instead of phone controls

*2026-04-04, version 1.10.5*

this a great game don’t get me wrong I use to play this when I was young the only thing is I feel like there would be more players playing the game if they had swipe controls instead on moving the phone to move around

### 3/5 — 재미는 있는데 새로운 맵들 좀 많이 만들어주세요

*2026-03-11*

계속 똑같은 맵들만 도니깐 질리네요 새로운 맵들 좀 다양하게 만들어주세요

### 5/5 — Really really good game

*2026-02-26, version 1.10.5*

This game was my childhood and to this day it still holds up as being one of my favorite mobile games. I like the platforming and it’s just a really good game! I would rate it a 6 if i could

### 5/5 — Honored Game+Studios

### 5/5 — w

*2026-02-11, version 1.10.5*

its so fun but just needs an update ive been playing this game for years and havnt had a single update for this game

### 4/5 — Never mind.

*2026-02-04, version 1.10.5*

The game works lol

### 4/5 — Great game but…

*2026-01-29, version 1.9.9*

When is endless sektor 51 coming out? I’ve been waiting for like 10 years. Just release it already.

Oh and the game is great too, would highly recommend or whatever.

### 4/5 — It’s pretty good

*2026-01-24*

It’s a good game, especially the upgrade system, the main problems I mainly have is the prices on characters, upgrades, etc. Some of the prices in the characters and upgrades are ridiculous that you’d spend maybe a week of collecting coins, just to buy another chicken flap, also the Rocket Fred and High stakes used to cost coins, but now you have to buy the Rocket fred and a map with your own money. I think lowering prices and giving us an option to buy Rocket fred and High Stakes with coins might be a better option.

### 5/5 — Carlos

*2026-01-03, version 1.9.9*

It’s just so good for an old game just wish that running Fred redux can come to apple

### 5/5 — Please add back old smooth camera

*2025-12-22, version 1.9.9*

🙏

### 5/5 — This is amazing but needs options for different controls

*2025-12-17, version 1.9.9*

I played it in school a few days ago on my Chromebook and it was the best game I’ve ever played in school. It’s so good that I wish I had a pc at home to install it on cuz on mobile I can’t really work with the tilt controls. Could definitely use options for touch screen controls. Peak game though keep making more Fred

### 5/5 — ❤️

### 5/5 — Running Fred

*2025-10-06, version 1.9.9*

One of the best mobile games to exist

### 3/5 — Исправляйте!

*2025-09-26*

В принципе та самая игра что и раньше, но есть парк моментов: 
1) нету синяков на портрете Фреда. Раньше от ударов в стену у него появлялись ссадины и синяки и с каждым ударом их было больше. 
2) в режиме выживания на 3 или 2  сложности в адском мире есть баг. Между двух скал стоит вертикальное крутящиеся бревно с лезвиями, оно немного летает над землёй. И около него невидимая ловушка, толи стена толи шипы какие-то, в общем эту ловушку не видно. Поэтому на той сложности пройти эту ловушку практически нереально, она то слева то справа. 
Исправляйте немедленно!

### 4/5 — Good but some bugs

*2025-09-23, version 1.9.9*

### 1/5 — Trash

*2023-12-25, version 1.9.9*

This game is so trash every time I play it cheats over and over I die from thin air and it makes new map obstacles that I never seen before. I don’t recommend playing this game it isn’t good for ur brain.

### 1/5 — Бесконечная загрузка.

*2023-08-04*

Игра загружается только при первом запуске. Если запускать потом, то будет бесконечная загрузка. Уже несколько лет пробую, все никак не могут исправить.

### 1/5 — Hi from google play store

*2023-07-24, version 1.9.9*

My son has been playing falling Fred and running Fred since he was 3! He will be 7 on Wednesday. I got him an iPad cause we heard that these games were updated on apple but it’s not which was HEARTBREAKING for my son. He doesn’t understand that I can’t fix falling Fred z he REALLY REALLYYYYYY WANTS TO PLAY IT.

### 1/5 — So many bugs and the controls

*2023-05-12, version 1.9.9*

There were so many bugs, at one time I couldn’t even go through the third level because I was glitching through the floor, and the controls were just awful, and for some reason my controls were inverted.

### 1/5 — Не работает
