I highly recommend this game. ### 5/5 — Excelente juego *2019-01-27, version 1.8.5* Me encanta su gráfica y la historia que hay detrás, además del propósito para lo cual fue creado este juego. Espero poder aportar a la investigación con mis horas de ocio! ### 5/5 — Fun! *2019-01-26, version 1.8.5* Engaging, fun app! Helping research is a bonus. ### 5/5 — Fun little app *2019-01-26, version 1.8.5* This is a fun way to play and also contribute to science. I like the way they change up the tasks. It keeps it interesting! ### 5/5 — Love it! *2019-01-22, version 1.8.5* The idea of this game is really fantastic. It allows the player to contribute towards something whilst having fun. The style of the game is really nice and clean, the music isn’t annoying and I feel like I’m helping out. I would definitely recommend this game/ app to anyone. Can’t wait to play more of it! ### 5/5 — Helping science while having fun. *2019-01-21, version 1.8.5* Fun game to play and it’s for a good cause. ### 3/5 — More responsive *2019-01-15, version 1.8.5* I feel that it could be more responsive to your touch. Quicker response ### 5/5 — I love this game. *2019-01-13, version 1.8.5* Its lovely and trains my mind. No ads, no stuff to purchase. Awesome ### 5/5 — Flytiegirl *2019-01-11, version 1.8.5* If you have large hands on a small screen the steering isn’t very responsive. Mistakes happen that is you played on a larger screen with a steering wheel wouldn’t be happening. I think this would have an impact on overall statistics. ### 5/5 — Great but not for me *2019-01-11, version 1.8.5* I’ve played to level 12 of this game, it’s a great game, intuitive controls and good graphics, BUT I am now suffering motion sickness each time i try and play so I am taking a break. Really upset I can’t carry on but I feel so ill playing it. Sorry 😢🤢 ### 5/5 — In an iPad visibility is better than in iPhone *2019-01-08, version 1.8.5* I tried the game on both Ipoh one and iPad and got complete different results. I recommend in research the iPad users be separated from iPad users. There is more visibility in iPad and easier to find paths etc. ### 5/5 — Great game *2019-01-06, version 1.8.5* Amazing ### 3/5 — Fun game but controls are poor *2019-01-03, version 1.8.5* Just as in the title, the method of acceleration often steers the boat about and you can't accelerate and steer at the same time. It makes it kind of difficult to use and enjoy, but the level design is fun and the research element is worth contributing to. ### 5/5 — Awesome *2019-01-03, version 1.8.5* I wanted to contribute to science in some way I hope I did contribute to all those patients suffering from ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — No longer playable *2026-08-05, version 2.4.2* I used to love this game, redownloaded it recently and it's not the same game and requires you to join a waitlist. It's too bad, I was looking forward to it. ### 1/5 — Use to play be not anymore *2025-09-26, version 2.1.1* Won’t let you play anymore. Not worth the time to download anymore. ### 1/5 — Fix this *2019-02-20, version 1.9.0* THE BlOODY THING WONT MOVE WHEN I AM CATCHING THE BEAST!!!!!!! ### 1/5 — Won’t load golden shores *2019-01-30, version 1.8.5* Finished chapter one and now it is stuck. I’m on the last monster got three stars and it just sits there on that monster. I wasn’t aware you were studying frustration. I like the idea of this study but if it doesn’t let one play through then I can’t see any of your results having any barring on your study ### 1/5 — Sky turned pink *2018-12-24, version 1.8.5* Can’t play game anymore glitch turned everything pink. ### 1/5 — Our piece of the pie?!? *2018-10-07, version 1.8.5* It would had been nice if all of those participating would also get a discount on the results of your research (and the solutions discovered there in), so that you pay it forward properly - even if it does work. For those naive’s, they would actually know way more than you think if you read the fine print. Great concept, I hope their hearts are pure and truly want to give back in return for all of our help. Learn from Alexander Fleming! ### 1/5 — Terrible implementation *2018-08-13, version 1.8.5* Nice idea and important objective, but the implementation is so feeble that it can’t possibly produce useful results. The controls are so unresponsive that any performance characteristics are due more to the user interface than to the cognitive capabilities of the player. And allowing players to offer unchecked demographic info eliminates any credible analysis based on any of those parameters. Finally, the too-cute design might work for children but hardly fits the target population — us old gits. Someone should do this project right. ### 1/5 — Clunky *2018-08-10, version 1.8.5* Find buoys are mark wrong way round to map and the action clunky hard to manoeuvre. ### 1/5 — Clunky steering is frustrating *2018-08-10, version 1.8.5* Clunky steering is frustrating, enough that I ditched the ‘game’. I’ll try it again. I’m 69 and interested in monitoring my aging capabilities. Just like this stupid feedback form. I would send a new feedback. I am done. The control of the game is a failure. Deleted. ### 1/5 — Update - Jun 28th *2018-06-30, version 1.8.2* There is something wrong with update to this app! All I see blank red screen with the boat during playing, no background scenes, no water or land or sky. Sort this out.... ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Excelente *2019-03-04, version 1.9.0* Jogo excelente, um som muito bom, visual bom, personalização muito boa, gostei muito!

Gracias por haber creado este juego. ### 5/5 — Great game for a great cause *2019-02-02, version 1.8.5* This game is really addictive and fun. Awesome that it can help with Alzheimer’s research, although I’d still play the game even if it didn’t because it so fun! ### 5/5 — Yeah science!!! *2019-02-02, version 1.8.5* Good for the work. Why not? ### 5/5 — Fun game and a good cause *2019-02-01, version 1.8.5* Win-win: a few enjoyable moments playing a game that may also provide useful data to Alzheimer’s researchers. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
