### 1/5 — Bad jumping

*2024-07-16*

It’s a nice game for sure but can’t the jumping be made better, it’s kind of annoying

### 3/5 — Touchscreen problem

*2024-04-13*

The game is really good and has potential and it’s really fun to play except moving left and right is so annoying most of the time doesn’t function and that’s how you get frustrated I don’t want to play anymore. If the developers can fix that. It should be one of the best games in the App Store.

**Developer response:** Thanks for your review. The latest version of the game now has improved touchscreen controls and they can also be resized. Hope this helps improve the gameplay experience : ]

### 5/5 — Love

**Developer response:** Thank for the 5 star review. The latest version has improved touch controls and now includes an enemy codex which you can reference for enemy attack strategies. Hope this helps : ]
