### 4/5 — PLEASE UPDATE!!!!!!

*2023-05-17, version 1.41.0*

Ketchapp i have played your games for as long as i can remember all the way back to Stick Hero and Stack and so many more, you guys are by far my favorite app developers i’ve ever came across. This being said Skyward is my favorite game I’ve ever played! The music the graphics, it’s all so soothing and relaxing and it’s always been my favorite, BUT now the game has quite working 😔 i guess it is so old that it’s finally not compatible with newer iphones and I was wondering if you could please update the game!!! it has always meant so much to me and to play it again would be so incredible, so please update ketchapp 🥺

### 1/5 — No instructions. Cannot move even 1 step.

*2023-04-05, version 1.41.0*

No matter where I tap for the first time, I always fail. I have no idea how to step how to remove what I’m supposed to tap on no Thang. The only thing you get is a blue dot and a red dot If you tap on either one you lose. I don’t understand. It needs instructions.

### 1/5 — no longer working on iphone 12

*2021-10-15, version 1.41.0*

not working on iphone 12 stuck on splash, if you swipe out of the app some music starts playing, thats about it

### 1/5 — Сняли деньги

*2021-08-30, version 1.41.0*

Первый раз зашла в игру и нажала на центр, чтобы начать играть. Вылезло «отключить рекламу» и списались деньги. 
Прошу вернуть средства, т.к. не собиралась оплачивать эту функцию

### 1/5 — Skyward

*2019-12-14, version 1.41.0*

This app won’t even load to get in the game it stays on the ketchapp screen. I’ve tried using it in WiFi, data, and hotspot. It doesn’t work period.

### 1/5 — Висит экран загрузки

*2019-07-15, version 1.41.0*

Висит экран загрузки

### 1/5 — WORST COPY CAT EVER

*2019-06-22, version 1.41.0*

This game is the worst rip off ever. It clearly steals Monument Valley’s aesthetics and concept, but changes it in dramatically annoying ways that make game play virtually impossible. The need to constantly click on the next path you want to take so that you do not die, distracts the player from enjoying any part of this game. You have milliseconds to click. If you miss even just a smidge, dead. Don’t even get me started on the adds. Let me explain. You managed to somehow defy the odds and get a rhythm going but WHAMO!! an add pops up. Not 5 seconds. Not 10 seconds. A 30 second add. Now try going back to game play and make the millisecond move after that. You can pay $1.39 like I did to remove the adds, but I’m sorry to say, it was a massive waste of money. Even without the adds, the game moves annoyingly too fast and as a result, you die far too often. There is no ability to be able to enjoy this game. I feel angry and annoyed. Pay the money for Monument Valley. It’s well worth it and my god I feel relaxed and challenged when I play it. You can actually take time to strategize your next move and use your brain to over come complex geometric designs. Skyward you are the worst kind of terrible and I’m breaking up with you. You’re out of my life forever.

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2023-08-25, version 1.41.0*

I love this game! Good job, its really calm and relaxing and it helps improve my skill of timing and reaction. The two dots rotating around is kind of hypnotic (in a good way :)) and it makes me feel relaxed and soothed. 10/10, I recommend this game if you are looking for a relaxing one

### 5/5 — Great Game

*2023-06-06, version 1.41.0*

This is a really enjoyable and challenging game. It is very easy to get in to but challenging enough to keep you playing. The graphics are simple and dynamic. I recommend this game.

### 5/5 — That rare mix of relaxing and challenging!

*2022-12-29, version 1.41.0*

This game has been a must-have in my phone game catalog for 8 years! The sounds send images are soothing and there are no annoying training levels to get through, just a steady road with increasing difficulty.

Cool, chill, interesting, good for those who have anxiety.

С момента выхода игры и по нынешнее время в игре есть баг дающий возможность легче всего бить мировые рекорды по этой игре)

### 5/5 — The game

*2022-07-30, version 1.41.0*

I think that the game is great it helps me too relax but hard core mode is a bit difficult
