You just jump from Line to line endlessly. If that’s ur thing by all means man go for it ### 1/5 — I don’t like the pop-ups *2019-05-07, version 1.8* If you ask me to leave a review with a pop up, it’ll be a bad review ### 4/5 — Charmingly Simple *2019-04-06, version 1.8* Innovative little change where you tap to jump to the next line. Great for spending a few minutes. Enjoyably frustrating (I can't get past 60 points). I'm glad I found this. ### 3/5 — Jumps not accurate *2019-03-30, version 1.8* I videoed my game play when jumping, and my reflexes many times were dead on when catching the front part of a moving line, but it would kill my turn as if I jumped too soon. This is frustrating, when making a jump that you know touches the next line, all but to start over. But, it’s a simple game and fun to try and beat your existing high scores but I feel inclined to delete it from the frustration of making a great timed jump, all but to be forced to start over on a new attempt. **Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback. I apologize that you were frustrated by the game. When jumping the goal is to get the white disk to fit entirely within the pod after making your jump, i.e it's not enough to simply hit the edge of the next pod. The jump algorithm is a little forgiving in this regard in that you can hang off the edge of the next pod by two or three pixels and this will still be counted as a successful jump. ### 5/5 — Elegantly simple and simply elegant *2019-03-29, version 1.8* What a remarkably original (at least to me) concept. I love the score and the fact that it changes with taps. Whadaya know, I can make music after all . . . and without any formal training. I am with another reviewer in that I am sometimes bewildered that MY timing for a jump does not fully align with the game’s idea of a successfully timed jump and that the rings are sometimes obscured as they disappear off the screen edges. It has “trained” me to be a little more patient, which is a good thing. Love the glaring omission of stats or high scores. In fact the “score” is kinda pointless, but it does, I presume, give one a semblance of achievement when triple digits are achieved. (Haven’t made it there yet . . . so close.). I highly recommend this game. ### 2/5 — So so. *2019-03-28, version 1.8* The game cheats. I’ve hit the edge of the pods with no doubt many times, only to be scored a miss. This needs to be corrected. Luckily I got this for free, or I’d be asking for a refund. **Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback. I apologize that you were frustrated by the game.

Always fun and love the sound effects. ## Frequently asked questions about Sprocket ### What is Sprocket?
