### 3/5 — Fun but crashing issue

*2026-08-15, version 1.0.11*

I love Skul and have almost 100% it on Xbox however on mobile it plays almost the exact same except for the constant crashing that occurs, unfortunately I can’t even make it past corrupted goddess without it crashing in the cutscene after the first time defeating it. So yeah please try to fix this devs :(

### 3/5 — Endless crashing

*2026-07-14, version 1.0.11*

Love the game and it’s very fun Kirby meets dead cells, but it crashes anytime I’ve been on a floor that had intense combat for more than 5 minutes.  I had to kill the chimera over 8 times just to experience the story bit by bit because it kept crashing as I was trying to enjoy the story and then it crashed while I was evaluating boss items which required another 2 victories against the chimera. I finally managed to skip all the dialogue I had already read and enter the next zone but it’s really frustrating to deal with these crashes. I’ve probably had the game crash over 20 times since playing it. Otherwise the opacity on the controls should be able to be adjusted and easier to read and click on item skills without triggering other buttons like your quintessence. I’d be happy to give 5 stars once the bugs are fixed.

### 4/5 — What happened to death?

*2026-06-01, version 1.0.11*

I played this game on the computer, my favorite skull was death in the mobile version in the mobile version it was fixed now the most unplayable and bad skull among the legendary

### 4/5 — Crashing

*2026-05-23, version 1.0.11*

Some levels on the game just crash when I finish them or midway threw the level.

### 4/5 — Игра хорошая но

*2026-05-14, version 1.0.11*

Постоянно выкидывает из игры хотя нету сильного нагрева устройства. С чем может быть связано?

### 3/5 — Queremos as dlcs restantes

*2026-04-19*

Queremos o restantes das dlcs, falta skulls itens e o final do game real

**Developer response:** Hi! For now, only the main game is available on mobile. We don’t have visibility on the DLC. Thank you for your enthusiasm and support!

### 4/5 — Love the game! Fix the crashes

*2026-03-30, version 1.0.11*

This game crashes for me constantly and no other game on my phone does that, my device isn’t even old or outdated but this game seems to just completely crash and reset the stage at every stage I play..

### 2/5 — 適正端末でも処理落ちします

*2026-03-26*

Dead cells にハマり、本作が同じようなゲームということを知り、ダウンロードしましたが、公式サイトで適正とされてる端末でもチュートリアルの後で必ずクラッシュし進めません。
少し古めの端末で遊ぶとなれば動くかどうかは怪しいです、ゲーム自体面白そうなだけにとても残念です
(因みに私はiPad の第9世代を使用してます)

### 2/5 — A waste of 3 dollars for now

*2026-03-09, version 1.0.11*

I was excited to play this game, but it keeps crashing as soon as I end the tutorial developers please fix this

### 2/5 — Solid Game

*2026-02-08, version 1.0.11*

I was actually super excited while playing. It was engaging , easy to understand and felt like it had some level of potential.. 

It’s been consistently crashing & I’m pretty sure I’m only on the 3rd level (just entered a castle) — I deleted and re-downloaded. I’ll give credit that it doesn’t lose my spot of where I’m at. It’s the exact same stage but every single time I defeat the wave of enemies , the game crashes. 

If the devs reply’s to the reviews weren’t generic copy/paste responses I’d be more optimistic about this getting patched but clearly they don’t care and I’m out $8 or whatever it costed.

### 2/5 — O jogo não está bem otimizado

*2026-01-22*

Quando você termina o jogo no espelho 0 ele simplesmente crasha, não só essa vez mas várias outras, e o consumo de ram e memória do meu telefone fica no mínimo

### 4/5 — проблема в частицах, the problem is in the particles

*2026-01-15*

у кого вылетает попробуйте отключить качество частиц в настройках, If it crashes, turn off the quality of the particles in the settings

### 2/5 — constant crashes

*2026-01-08*

I just get kicked out of the game at any point during a run. Having to replay a room I've already completed every time after a crash is simply unbearable. Please fix this problem.

### 4/5 — Problemas

*2026-01-07*

O jogo é muito bom! Porém no iPhone 13 ele está fechando sozinho a cada 15 minutos de gameplay! Pfv concertem

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Constant crashes

*2026-06-17, version 1.0.11*

Game crashes at most levels

### 1/5 — Stürzt ständig ab

*2026-05-15*

Das Spiel stürzt noch immer nach 5-10 Minuten Spielzeit ab. Der Fehler wurde also entgegen der Behauptungen des Entwickler in den Rezensionen nicht behoben. 
Zusätzlich frisst es Akku wie nicht gutes. Es ist ein 2D Pixel Plattformer, wie kann es sein, dass nach einem Level 10% Akku weg sind?

Zusätzlich ist die Button Anordnung alles andere als intuitiv, was gerade bei einem schnellen Action-Roguelike mehr als schlecht ist. Wenn man nur Millisekunden Zeit hat um zu handeln, kann man nicht jedes Mal perfekt einen kleinen Mini-Button treffen.

### 1/5 — Could have been a 5/5…

*2026-04-13*

The game is great, but due to the extremely frequent crashes (approximately 5-6 times per run!) it’s nearly unplayable. Real shame

### 1/5 — Вылетает каждые 10 минут

*2026-03-21*

Как я устал от того что она постоянно вылетает причем после прохождения карты пока выбираешь лут вылетает и заново все проходить приходится 
Почините хватит трепать нервы
Прошло несколько дней 
Я обновил даже iOS из-за вас но игра вылетает по кд на планшете
Почините уже 
За что деньги отдал

### 1/5 — JOGO FECHA SOZINHO A CADA 5 MIN

*2026-03-10*

o jogo e bom, mas nao da pra jogar, fecha sozinho e volta do inicio.

### 1/5 — NÃO COMPRE ENQUANTO NÃO ATUALIZAR

*2026-01-07*

O jogo é incrível e muito bom dentro da sua proposta, porém ele esta com um bug de fechar sozinho que ocorre literalmente em todas as salas e de torna impossível de jogar por conta do estresse. Você termina de matar o boss e o jogo sai sozinho, depois disso tem que matar de novo o que se torna insuportável.

### 1/5 — Ist zwar ein unterhaltsames Spiel

*2026-01-04*

Aber es stürzt eindeutig zu oft ab daher hab ich den Kauf zurück gefördert da ich kein Spiel spielen möchte was mich raus schmeißt

### 1/5 — Crash

*2025-12-26*

O jogo simplismente me fecha a cada 1-2 sala muito do nada sem motivo as vezes tendo nada no cenário só fecha

### 1/5 — Crash

*2025-12-24*

Le jeux crash après le tutoriel début h24 comme si le jeux était pas fini

### 1/5 — Stürzt ständig ab und bringt sogar das iPhone zum Absturz!

*2025-12-17*

Eine Frechheit, dieses Spiel kostenpflichtig im App-Store zu halten, obwohl die Mängel (Abstürzte) Apple seit Jahren anhand der immer wieder gleichen negativen Rezensionen bekannt sein dürften.

### 5/5 — My favorite game of all time.

*2026-07-08, version 1.0.11*

That said, I ended up playing it on the Switch instead. Still fun on the phone if you don’t have a Switch.

My second favorite game is Dead Cells and third is Hades.

### 5/5 — Please add the new DLC

*2026-06-19, version 1.0.11*

Port the Ps5 DLC pleaseee

### 5/5 — The best game ever

*2026-05-28, version 1.0.11*

I absolutely love this game it’s my favorite all time game and it just makes me happy that theirs so many possibilities of setups that I think this absolutely needs a expansion to it that has more opportunities for players to mess around with like for example more than just physical and magical attacks this already perfect but everything has the ability to improve just don’t change the fast pace of the game 👍👍👍👍👍

### 5/5 — 最高に面白い

*2026-04-06*

iPhone17でプレイ
ラスボス倒すまでに数回落ち、
ラスボス倒した最後でクラッシュした
不満点はそれだけ
スマホアプリで一番楽しかった。
DLC追加されたらいくらでも払いたい。

**Developer response:** Hi! For now, only the main game is available on mobile. We don’t have visibility on the DLC. Thank you for your enthusiasm and support!

### 5/5 — Unique, awesome rough like game

*2026-03-25, version 1.0.11*

I cannot get enough of this game. I love the art and gameplay so much originally I bought the PC version on Steam and finished the game. later on I got myself a PS5 and I bought it again on there. now it is ported to mobile so I more than happy to pay for it. I wish they will release all the DLC as they did on the PC version soon.

### 5/5 — DLC needed

*2026-03-18, version 1.0.11*

DLC when

### 5/5 — Bom dmais

*2026-03-12*

Muito bom, só que as vezes meu jogo fecha sozinho, jogo no iPhone 13

**Developer response:** Thank you for your review!

### 5/5 — 키보드

*2026-02-01*

pc로 플레이하다가 처분하고 모바일로 플레이하는 사람인데요. 정말 다 재미있고 좋은데 패드로 하려니까 불편해서 콜솔로 연결해서 플레이했는데 잘되더라고요. 근데 원래 pc유저라 콜솔도 불편해서 키보드로 플레이를 하려고 연결을 하고 플레이를 해봤는데 원래 pc스컬 조작법은 잘 되는데 인식이 이상하게되더라고요. 키 하나를 누르면 1초정도 기다리고 다음 키가 인식이 되더라고요. 아무리 그래도 유료게임에 싸지도 않은데 이것좀 고쳐주셨으면 합니다. 그냥 키보드로도 플레이가 가능하게 만들어주세요. 돈을 낸 가치가 있었으면 합니다.

**Developer response:** Hi! I'm sorry but the game on mobile is not compatible with any keyboard, only controllers.

### 5/5 — Crashes a bit and no DLC

*2026-01-27, version 1.0.11*

Played this game extensively on PC, PC port is better cause it has the dlc and doesn’t crash. Great game otherwise

### 5/5 — Plz update the DLC

*2025-12-28, version 1.0.11*

We really need more contents. I both have steam and iOS version. But ios is more convenient for traveling. Plz update.
