When I press the arrow key, it moves so quickly I can’t control where it’s going :( ### 4/5 — Great game but.. *2025-04-13, version 2.7* The game is good even if its not that scary. The levels are good even if some feel really easy in the late game compared to some previous ones. The only real downside from this game are the controls that made me die so many time because they’re feeling clunky. ### 3/5 — Could be better *2025-04-12* I like the idea and the story, but, there are some problems. The level progression doesn’t make sense with difficulty and doesn’t feel skill based but luck based (I completed all 100+ levels). Another thing, for a mobile game you should really be able to slide your thumb left and right for movement but you have to tap the movement buttons or it doesn’t register. I think it’s so close to being a good game, kudos to keeping me intrigued for most levels, it could just use a little buffing. Keep it up! :) ### 4/5 — Spooky Pixel Hero is cool *2025-02-12, version 2.7* This is a good game. I loved it. Please make more games with this format. Definitely coming back for another play through ### 5/5 — Addictive game *2025-01-29* Love the graphics and gameplay .

Better than most of the platform apps. Wish it was longer. ### 5/5 — Gamers kiss *2025-01-22, version 2.7* Fantastic game ### 5/5 — Simple yet complex *2024-12-31, version 2.7* Very fun and interesting plot. Very cool graphics. You Should give it a try. ### 5/5 — Simple yet interesting *2024-12-26* This is a brilliant game. Storyline is interesting and the sound effect is too good. Loved the Spooky effects! ### 5/5 — great !! *2024-12-19, version 2.7* absolutely HATED this game. it made me soo mad i almost deleted it and im glad i didnt. the story was super good it took me around two weeks to finish the game and i hated every minute. good job ### 5/5 — Super *2024-12-18, version 2.7* This is perfect platform Game .

The difficulty curve isnt very bad and the lore is everywhere. ### 5/5 — Awesome game! *2024-12-15* It’s a really good game and I love it! ### 4/5 — Good game *2024-12-13* Game is good why not 5 starts i just completed the game , but i think character should not run or slip fast when we click the forward or backward button it slips a lot which make some tiny gaps with the traps crossing impossible ### 5/5 — Amazing *2024-12-12, version 2.7* It’s like a dark catchy game, at the beginning everything seems normal, but then the deeper you play, the darker the game. Overall it’s a pretty interesting and good game. Thx to the devs :) ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Not my type *2024-12-11, version 2.7* Character control was bad ### 1/5 — Control and physics *2024-10-23, version 2.7* Moves don’t work properly as physics works awkwardly especially with boxes. Sometimes jumps also glitches with walls or platforms. ### 1/5 — Stop seeing the bad stuff and download the game *2024-10-11, version 2.7* You fricker, you think that just because it’s pixelated means it’s bad? I’ve played it, and it was fun, so press that download button and play. You will LOVE it ### 1/5 — Level 57 BROKEN *2024-08-14, version 2.5* Had to delete Edit: can’t jump on that level, impossible to finish ### 1/5 — Level 57 BROKEN *2024-08-12* Had to delete **Developer response:** Hi MitraTeam! How was it broken in your end? Lots of people have finished the game already and some have even begun posting speedruns as well. I hope you let us know so we can maybe find out what happened to your version of the game. Thanks for playing the game though! ### 2/5 — pity.. *2024-12-14, version 2.7* seems cool but deleted after the rain of ads in the first minutes ### 2/5 — The ads ruined it *2024-09-23* Was really enjoying the story, gameplay was fun, atmosphere was great. There is 30+ second ad after EVERY four deaths. I dropped it after 30 levels. Wish I could see it through to the end, but that’s just way too egregious. ### 2/5 — Deja mucho que desear *2024-08-15, version 2.5* Me encanta esta franquicia de videojuegos y me gusta que este juego sea diferente, pero aunque su estilo sea antiguo carece de creatividad y ambiente terrorífico… no me gusto que tengas que hacer esfuerzo extra para leer más parte de la historia, de por si el juego no es muy ameno y ahora cuesta más saber más saber la historia. ### 3/5 — Needed more oven time *2025-07-21* Interesting game but the quality of the levels and is not enough to warrant to incredible amount of ads you get shoved down your throat. Story was interesting but dialogue was generic and the game I was playing didn’t feel as scary as the character was making it seem. The debug mini game wasn’t frequent or challenging enough to be interesting, should have had a move limit. And near the end you introduce more bullet hells that were fun but the limitation of the level size just doesn’t make them or the platforming fun. The limitation don’t make it more challenging it just feels annoying on purpose. Would play similar games and excited to see what else you’ve worked on. Edit: Realized I’ve played your other platformer and while I liked those more, it still feel annoying on purpose at times. If you make a good game people will pay for it, I’m not paying for a complicated way of watching ADs. ### 3/5 — good plot, good game but ad amount+ controls wastes potential *2025-06-07, version 2.7* while this game is really interesting and a mash up of all the things i enjoy there are reallyyyyy frustrating problems, the jump,left and right buttons are WAYYYYY too close together, considering how difficult it is and how important timing becomes the buttons make this unnecessarily complicated, if the dev could change this it’d almost be perfect and of my favs. Another thing is the ads, while i can acknowledge that some games need ads (for money or something i think) the game NEEDS TO TAKE THE DIFFICULTY INTO CONSIDERATION, this game makes you rely on timing through out the levels which isn’t necessarily a bad thing it just makes it take lots of time increasingly to pass (your skill of the game increases as well so it’s once again ok) but every three or two deaths showing a 20 second long ad becomes VERY FRUSTRATING, if you add on the cramped together controls and the fact that it’ll take you about 20 try’s per level most of the time, the game becomes very annoying. You forget what you were doing because you’ve died so much (because of the controls) and seen so many ads for so long (because of the ration of ads and dying being 10:20), the mood of the game is so interesting and such potential but it’s lost and just makes you angry because of the constant ads that talk about booking or getting free robux. The solution is VERY VERY simple: make the controls easier, more spaces apart and not at an opacity of ONE (it’s difficult to see and because they r close you end up pressing the jump button instead of right making you die and die) next is the add amount, i’m guessing it’ll take you more and more deaths to pass each level so per 10 deaths should be one add, doing this would make this game AMAZING it’s hard but it’s fun and gives you skills, it’s interesting and the lore makes you immediately invested. All of this can be what people love and acknowledge if the dev would just fix the very easy to fix problems. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Annoyingly excellent *2025-11-11, version 2.7* The best frustrating game I’ve played. Simple but fun, I kept wanting to come back. Ads are a little annoying but definitely not the worst! ### 5/5 — review *2025-11-06, version 2.7* this is an absolutely awesome game, fun little challenge that are sometimes frustrating but it feels good when you do them, and the story is gripping! ### 5/5 — Mind blow *2025-10-24* I really haven’t been paying attention to the story. But I see now. These games really can mess with your head. Reminds me of manhunter 2 story wise or this one games from the. 90s. It’s like psychological horror games. Totally messes your head up I would say. Anyways, I just play for the challenge. I think I am content. Good job. Sorry I hardcore disrespected your previous game. I was too harsh. You know these games do have theming and a consistent good quality I would say. ### 5/5 — 8-bit era *2025-04-22, version 2.7* Great feeling of classic Atari games with more manipulation and comfort. Make more games like this 🛸💫 ### 5/5 — Retrotastic *2025-04-14, version 2.7* One of the best mini games in years ### 5/5 — Great story *2025-04-13, version 2.7* Frustrating levels but a good challenge ### 5/5 — Incredibly addicting. *2025-03-27* I got this game about 5 hours ago and have been playing nonstop. Hoping I can finish the whole game by today 😜 ### 5/5 — Great game! *2025-02-14* Not very often on iOS do I get a game and then completely finish it. This game had me hooked from the very beginning and I played all the way through it. What a great game! Great story and unexpected little twists too. Excellent job devs! ### 5/5 — Clever and unique story *2025-02-12, version 2.7* Radical gameplay bring you back to 1981! ### 5/5 — Great retro feel game *2025-01-31, version 2.7* Love this game, reminds me of a fast and furious “Jet Set Willy” 🤣 The added physics dynamics make it good fun. My only gripe is that it goes back to the home page every time you die (which is a lot) would prefer it stayed in the game instead, could that be an option ? 🙏 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
