There is only 50 levels, and this was one of my favorite games. After I finished I was really sad, but it is a really fun game. I love that there are no ads, and the skips are free. I also love the different ball skins u can get. Overall, a really fun game but needs more levels. ### 4/5 — It’s not a bad game but *2022-11-23* It won’t let me jump which is VERY ANNOYING!!! But when it works well it’s super fun ### 4/5 — Very fun, but a lot of ads *2022-11-06, version 1.7* I really love this game, and I am very glad that I found it since I finished GoEscape. This game seems a lot harder, but I am enjoying it. My one and only complaint is how many ads there are- maybe you guys should cut back on that a bit. Not all of us can pay to get rid of the ads. Other than that, good job! This game is really making me think! ### 3/5 — Ok and good😒 *2022-11-04* I do like playing sharp escape but it is way too hard. Please make it a little easier. I would also want there to be more levels!! 🎖🎖🎖 ### 4/5 — Addicting *2022-09-28* This game is pretty addicting when you get into the game ### 4/5 — Fun game *2022-05-09, version 1.7* I think that this is a really fun game. The concept is cool and the puzzles are challenging in a fun way. As the game progresses, the levels get harder and harder and eventually get super challenging, which I think is cool. However, I feel like the mechanics are a bit buggy. For example, I will jump on a moving bit the way the game directs me to and then it’ll just fling me off the map. Certain levels also start really fast early on, so you don’t expect it at all. What’s nice is that the game will allow you to move past levels you get stuck on, but still. I’m not fond that it sometimes won’t register my tapping on the screen to jump, or make me replay levels because it didn’t save. But those are the only reasons why this game lost a star. Overall, this is a really fun puzzle game I’d recommend for others to play. ### 4/5 — Shape Escape! *2022-01-09* This app is challenging, it gets harder as you complete each level! I would say most games are addictive but this one mostly. If you get too frustrated just skip a level!! It does not waste any battery at all. Although there is one thing I disagree with…. There is only a maximum number of levels, I would of liked no restrictions to the amount of levels there are. ### 3/5 — Worse than the playable add *2021-12-23, version 1.7* This game is addicting but playable adds are horrible and the playable add for this game was to, but the point is this game was even worse than the playable add it had, which I didn’t think was even possible! The ball is so small and wonky and how far it goes changes. How am I able to know how far it is going to go! The concept of the game is great and if you fix those things so I can control the ball more, than that would be great, and I would relate it five stars ### 3/5 — An abnormally hard game *2021-11-22* Some levels make me dizzy or just hard like level 5 is impossible you don't have time to jump. It takes a lot of patience and time to do levels further on. Can be annoying like being hit or falling into the abyss or just something that's close to impossible. ### 3/5 — Prefer go escape *2021-11-14* This ones is less gripping than the other. It’s more spin spin spin die do it again. I paid for ad free on GE along with my kids and partners phones but won’t be on this unfortunately I don’t see me playing it until the end like the other. The go escape feels like there is more too it. ### 4/5 — Fun but frustrating *2021-06-25, version 1.7* Game is fun. Moves fast. Got me jumping out of my chair trying to jump the points. Making me laugh at myself. BUT... lvl 17. Any ideas to get past it would be grateful please. I really rather pass it vs skip it. I went from laughing at myself and wanting to wanting to throw something all because of lvl 17. Beware when you hit play there isn't a second to say go it just goes! ### 3/5 — Add more *2021-01-25* I just want you to add more because I have played this game over and over again. ### 3/5 — Level 9 is hard >:( *2020-11-27* Why I can’t beat level 9 it’s assy and dumb pls update level 9 plz or else >:( ### 3/5 — Good concept, bad gameplay. *2020-08-17* I’m fairly sure the devs didn’t test most of the levels. Some of the levels take hours to complete while others can be so easily cheesed. This game had a lot of potential but don’t make some of the first few levels so ridiculously difficult you have countless complaints about it. Other than that the game had a great concept. Good idea, bad gameplay. I’m currently on level 27 and it’s taken me a while. ### 5/5 — Thank you so much *2020-07-12* Best game I ever played before on my iPad!!!!!! My favourite relax and pass time game ### 5/5 — I LOVE... actuly I forgot the name. Oh ya, shape escape! *2020-03-28, version 1.7* Ok.. hello readers, im ———— and what I wanna say is first, my fave levels are 16 and 18. I rlly like this game but there’s a couple bugs and it needs some updates... but over all I give it five out of five stars! It’s a amazing game. It’s only prob is ————— so I hope thay fix that. But if that prob was fixed it would be perfe- well, not perfect but better. :) ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — NOT WORTH YOUR TIME *2022-11-11* I have 3 bad things to say 1. I could not make it past level 4. It just spawns you to die so I had to skip level 4. 2. The game gives wayyyyy to many ads. I totally get the game needs to make money, but it got to the point where I would play for 15 mins and I would be watching ads for 12-13 of the 15 mins. 3. The way you die is so slow and annoying ### 1/5 — What a disgrace! *2021-02-02* Just don’t download this game the amount of ads is rubbish. This game takes up your storage and it is hard to compete with. When you try to play and you tap the screen it takes for ever to work. This is why I rated a one. I write this game a 5% average compare to 10%. ### 1/5 — DONT DOWNLOAD *2020-10-27* Not to be rude but when you reach level four it kills you by it self there is no point. ### 1/5 — IT IS STUPID *2019-06-15* Level 15,16 or 17 is hard ### 1/5 — get a life *2019-04-24* uninstalled. bombarded with ads in the first minute of play. get a life idiots ### 1/5 — So hard *2019-03-15* Im stuck on level 5 you drop right on a spike not fun at all do not download. ### 1/5 — THIS GAME !!!!!!! 😡 *2019-02-24* Great game, always note that the game well every level has something up to poking you 🛑 ### 1/5 — 😪🤧😔 *2018-10-23* This game had so much opportunity and potential in it but the game was sadly ruined. After nearly every defeat, I was forced to watch a 30 second long advertisement. Spoiling the game, this was unfortunately one of the many reasons I deleted the game. Secondly, another reason is that some of the levels are physically IMPOSSIBLE to complete. Level 12 for example. The shapes combine and spin with each other whilst the ball is trying it’s very hardest to jump over a a spike when there is another spike right above it. Therefore, the ball is impaled with the above spike whilst the below spike carries on spinning! You can’t win on this level! You shouldn’t play this game as it gave me stress that I have never experienced ever before in my life. Furthermore, the dear creators who made the game have obviously taken no time at all to perfect this and clearly have no respect for the people that take their precious time and put it into games that were advertised as, “so amazing to play” and that is unacceptable. Please don’t play this game as I don’t wish for you poor people to be lured in with advertisements like I did. SAVE YOURSELVES FROM SRESS AND ANGER AND DISRESPECT!!!! ### 1/5 — DELETE it & FORGET it 😡 *2018-10-18, version 1.7* While I just downloaded this game in the past hour or so, I am EXTREMELY FRUSTRATED 😡because there is no opportunity to find out if you actually might like this game or not. WHY? You might ask, am I unable to say whether I like the game or not?? Simple!!! The *^%#*^ ADS are flying at me after every other effort‼️ So look, with this kind of game, you have to repeatedly try to get through the levels and get into a kinda rhythm. Learning how soon to jump to avoid the spikes takes practice to get into the zone. Obviously, I will never do that if I have to wait for an entire ad, or at times 2 ads to play before getting back to the game!!! 😡 And on top of that...it’s the same freaking ads -over and over and over ‼️‼️ Sure I could pay the fee & stop the ads. I’ve done that on a few games I really like. But I’m not about to pay it when I’m not even sure I’d play the game anyway. I see this as a way you game creators try to manipulate us!! Make it so BAD they will pay for sure- isn’t that it? Nope. Not me, and I think I speak for a lot of others, most of whom will just delete it and forget it!! Good enough for ya!!! How’s that for your business? Delete it & forget it!! Think that’s going to be new slogan. ### 1/5 — Too hard and too many ads😡😡😡 *2018-07-29* Hate this game you need to make it easier !!!!!! And seriously if you want people playing this game without getting annoyed then get rid of all the ads! I’m deleting this game!!!👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎😕😕😕😫😏😏😏☹️☹️😞😒😒😒😔😔😵😵😬🙄🙄🙄🙄 ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Perfect *2023-04-12* Pls add more levels ### 5/5 — Here are some fun games *2023-01-15* You are so i here gaming with ### 5/5 — THis game is very very very very very very very very fun *2022-07-29, version 1.7* I love this game! My name is Madison, and I played this game the whole ride to Tennessee and it was very cool and kept me interested. I would like to say the 30’s and up levels are very challenging but I do love a good challenge! I hope every body else gets a really good experience :) ### 5/5 — NO ADS *2022-06-22, version 1.7* I got the original go escape a few months ago and I passed all the levels so I looked for a second one yesterday and luckily I found one. obviously I bought it. I went on to the game and passed a few levels and shockingly after 15 minutes of playing, I realized that not one ad had popped up! Also, on top of that, the game is completely free. Although there were not as many levels as the original one, the game gives off more skill and strategy. I love this game! ### 5/5 — Supa 🤩 fun *2022-06-19, version 1.7* I love to play this, super addictive!! I like that you can skip levels, but maybe you should have to do it a few times before skipping? Otherwise you could just skip through all of them. 🤨😅. Also sometimes I feel like the the levels get easier when the should get harder. It’s not a huge deal, but sort annoying. Other than that, nothing bad for me to say. Plz get this game, you’ll love it (and if not, delete it. I don’t care haha) ### 5/5 — You need this! *2021-08-07, version 1.7* Puzzling fun challenging goes on with the goods there’s not nearly as many ads as you think it’s just full on awesome it just gets frustrating sometimes when you keep on losing but overall it’s a very good game and I get this one of the only five stars that I do so good game! ### 5/5 — Sooo good *2021-06-01* This game has helped me through a 12 hour car trip so I love it ### 5/5 — Great game! *2021-02-20, version 1.7* I absolutely adored Go Escape, which I found before this game. Have that 5 stars and wished for hundreds of new levels, played it through many times! This version is super fun too, ended up finishing it but felt some levels were almost too hard! The spinning features were my least favorite in Go Escape, so kind of sad this game is all spinners, some levels made me feel dizzy!!! But overall a fabulous, 5 star game. Sad to finish, but challenging enough to play through again. ### 5/5 — This is so fun! *2020-12-01, version 1.7* This game is challenging, but totally worth it. You get to pick your balls, and you get to earn points. This game is so fun! It gives you something to do, and something to work on. You might get frustrated at times, but that just means your doing a great job. This is a very well thought out game, and it is fun, but challenging and VERY satisfying. This game is so fun. ### 5/5 — No ads! *2020-09-14* I love this game it takes time and patience to complete the higher levels and every time I fail there is no ads I have so many other games like this and they all have ads but this game doesn’t! P.s add more levels please! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
