### 3/5 — Pleeeease Update and add Gamepad support …

*2026-04-22, version 1.5.3*

Geniales Game. Wäre noch genialer, wenn man es mit einem Game Controller spielen könnte. Mit einem PS5 Controller funktioniert das Menü einwandfrei, aber das Spielen selbst nicht. Schade.

### 3/5 — な〜い

*2024-05-18, version 1.5.3*

JOJOの一面の星がいくら探しても２つ足りないのですがなぜでしょうか

### 4/5 — Errorcillos

*2023-02-27, version 1.5.3*

En el dojo no se marcan las estrellas; termino una escena con 3 estrellas y en la pantalla de selección sólo aparecen 2. En un par de escenas no me marca el 100% de las luces amarillas (comparando con videos en línea he visto que junto todas las de la escena).

Es muy bueno el juego, sólo tiene esos detallitos. Con mando sería bastante mejor.

### 5/5 — Excellent game

*2022-06-21, version 1.5.3*

I played this game with please. It’s totally suite for mobile devices.

удовольствием проиграл в эту игру. Для мобильных устройств самое то.

### 4/5 — Très bien mais manque le contrôleur

*2022-05-14, version 1.5.3*

Le jeu est vraiment génial. Manque simplement la  possibilité d’utiliser un contrôleur.

Hors c’est à mon sens indispensable pour un jeu arcade.

### 1/5 — Controller feature is broken

*2022-03-03, version 1.5.3*

Only brings up the pause menu and works in the menu. Not the game play.

### 4/5 — Проблема с получением звёзд

*2021-03-03, version 1.5.3*

На некоторых уровнях не хватает очков, чтобы набрать 3 звезды. В ранних версиях такого не было, исправьте.

### 5/5 — Worth every penny!

*2020-03-24, version 1.5.3*

Great graphics, and simple game mechanics. Lots of fun, challenging and worth every penny!

### 1/5 — No funciona en el GAMEVICE

*2020-02-27, version 1.5.3*

Actualizen a MFI ya que prometía compatibilidad con mandos y resulta que siempre ya no es compatible con mi GAMEVICE

### 2/5 — Minor fixes?!?

*2019-11-29, version 1.5.3*

The update said 'minor fixes' - the size of the app went from 350MB up to 1.3GB....
What. Is. Up. With. That?!?!
