### 5/5 — Awesome game

Very much enjoy the game. Great combination of evil and equine(: but I paid for a game the continuously shuts itself off:(
Update please....grr!

### 4/5 — Good overall

*2014-01-05, version 1.0.2*

Good game but needs an update for bugs

### 5/5 — Spooky Hoofs

*2013-11-10, version 1.0.2*

Best game ever. I never get tired of it. Quirky. Gorgeous. Humorous. And Goth - which every game should be.

### 4/5 — Fun and Atmospheric

*2013-11-06*

The music is great, and the controls are tight, making this one that I go back to again and again!  There are occasional jumps that are brutal or impossible if you're not powered up, which lends a slight bit of frustrating random chance.  The game is occasionally choppy on an ancient iPhone 4, but for the most part, its great fun!

### 3/5 — Spooky Hoofs

*2013-10-30, version 1.0.2*

### 3/5 — Fun but crashes a lot

*2013-10-30, version 1.0.2*

### 1/5 — Kein Update in Sicht für iOS11 Inhaber

*2017-11-05*

Sehr schade und anscheinend ist das Spiel somit zum Sterben verurteilt. 

Wurde gern immer wieder mal gespielt.

### 1/5 — Tolles Spiel, aber wird mit iOS 11 nicht funktionieren

*2017-10-12*

Seit Jahren spiele ich dieses Spiel sehr gerne. Aber bald wird es auf meinem IPhone nicht mehr laufen, sobald ich iOS 11 aufgespielt habe. Leider reagierte der Entwickler auch bisher auf keine E-Mail. Schade...

### 1/5 — Finger weg.

*2014-09-23*

Keine iPad Version.
Kein Gamecontroller Support.
Nicht für iPhone 6 angepasst.
Virtuelle Steuerung reagiert fehlerhaft und verschwindet während des Spiels.

### 1/5 — Crashes constantly at end of first level

*2014-01-05, version 1.0.2*

Started this again but it constantly crashes. :(

### 1/5 — Crashes without fail on my iPhone 5

*2013-10-19, version 1.0.2*

I haven't gotten past the "loading" screen yet. Rebooted the device & everything... :-\

### 1/5 — Can I get my 99 cents back ? Lol

*2012-10-08, version 1.0.1*

This game is terrible ! If you loose you have to start all over which is a complete time waster, I have no clue what the color bars on the top left are for and no explanation is provided on how to play ...it's only 99cents and I have never felt so guilty over throwing a dollar away like I did w this game.

### 1/5 — Ennly

*2011-10-29, version 1.0.1*

Like the game  but. Why do u have to start from the beginning after u die and not go any further. Keep going back to the beginning . BORING. BORING. So I have put the game away for months and now being halloween thought it would be fun to play. Boy was I wrong. I had been looking forward to this game but u guys know how to spoil a good game

### 1/5 — Stop the crashing

*2011-10-09, version 1.0.1*

I love the game and graphics are great but, it keeps crashing. I deleted it and downloaded a new one,it's doing the same thing. I contacted the company and they said they never heard of this happening before? But after reading reviews, I see others are also experiencing same thing. How can this be fixed.

### 1/5 — Really?

*2011-09-19, version 1.0.1*

That's it?  I paid for this?  Never have I disagreed with existing reviews so completely. However, at the time I draft this there are only 15 existing. I honestly believe they are developers / friends of / cheerleaders for, because I highly disagree. There is not much content to this game. I am deleting it.

### 2/5 — No Final Boss

*2025-10-04*

Love the graphics and the music but the game builds up to a final boss that never materializes. It could be so awesome if it delivered.

### 5/5 — Bitte für iPhone 15 pro anpassen

*2025-03-11*

Bitte das Game anpassen. Der Ausschnitt ist zu groß man sieht oben nichts. Es müsste an den Bildschirm vom iPhone 15 Pro angepasst werden. Ansonsten super Game für zwischen durch. Hab das schon vor Jahren gespielt

### 5/5 — Sweet Game

*2022-05-17*

I love this game. I never get tired of playing it. I love all the different themes and monsters. The music is great.  Also the winged skeleton horse and the fire whip. Way to go spooky hoofs!

### 5/5 — A blast from a past

*2020-12-04, version 1.0.4*

This game has already become a classic of the iOS library. One question is, can you actually fight the demon from the “end” cut scene?

### 5/5 — Genial!
