### 4/5 — So good

*2022-12-26, version 1.1.11*

This is just such a good game 100% get but it is not perfect 😕

### 3/5 — THE JUMPING DELAYS ARE SOO BAAAAAD

*2020-01-02, version 1.1.4*

WHEN I PRESS THE JUMP BUTTON IT MAKES ME WANT 1000000000 YEARS TO JUMB THE WHOLE POINT OF THE GAME IS TO SPAM JUMP BUT WHEN I SPAM But when i spam too hard it flys into space and see’s Elon Musk then realizes that in fact its not Elon Musk its a fat spike thrilling trough his throat blood spills everywhere and my character begins to have some kind of a interaction with the spike thrilling down his throat...I think that he enjoys the spike soo much that i forgot to give 5 stars plz fix the characters interesting interaction with the FAT FAT JUICY SPIKE and Elon Musk illusions plz i beg right now

### 5/5 — Endless mode

*2019-11-23, version 1.1.4*

Please an endless mode will be cool add in in the game

### 4/5 — Level 64

*2019-11-21, version 1.1.4*

Very stuck on level 64 should be a way to skip a very hard level spoiling game for me.... Fiona

### 5/5 — Wow

*2019-11-15, version 1.1.4*

They HAVE TIME MODE

### 4/5 — Perfect game

*2019-11-13, version 1.1.4*

Amazing retry game❤️

### 3/5 — Fun but short

*2019-10-14, version 1.1.4*

Beat this in a couple hours with all but one achievement. The unlock all characters achievement would be a truly insane grind and should be balanced.

### 4/5 — Level 57

*2019-10-10, version 1.1.4*

After level 57 of the game I couldn’t beat any more levels. Please make those levels easier thanks.

### 5/5 — Great game

*2019-09-24, version 1.1.3*

Love the mechanics and the look it just needs more levels.

### 4/5 — Difficult fun

*2019-09-13, version 1.1.3*

Very difficult in the best way

(Update: just beat the game, it’s not too hard, y’all just cowards)

I want more levels!!!

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2019-08-13, version 1.1.3*

I play a lot of arcade games quite often. This game is very addicting and I recommend it to everyone. The advertisements aren’t that often and the graphics are amazing.

### 5/5 — Great game! Love it

*2019-08-13, version 1.1.3*

This game is great! 10 out of ten! I specifically like the Achievements and the skins, the ice cream skin is my fav😁
I like this game it’s great. 👍👍👍👍

### 5/5 — Muito divertido

*2019-08-02, version 1.1.3*

Não é tão difícil de jogar, muito bom para passar o tempo

### 5/5 — Mas niveles

*2019-07-09, version 1.1.2*

Llevo enganchado mucho tiempo y ahora que me lo he pasado, miro cada dia si poneis nuevos niveles

### 5/5 — Love it

*2019-07-07, version 1.1.2*

Loved this game but ended up completing all the levels

### 5/5 — Great game!

*2019-06-27, version 1.1.2*

There are 208 levels in this game and you don’t have to watch any ads or pay to unlock any of them. The levels are fun and challenging. But at first it is easy but the it gets hard. I’m over level 100 and it gets pretty hard but not too hard. You can you your coins to get skins and it is easy to unlock skins with coins you get 30 coins every time you beat a level. The bad thing about this game is that the arrow buttons are too far down it would be great if they made an update where you could change where the arrow buttons are. This is a great game to play if your bored.

### 5/5 — More levels!

*2019-06-17, version 1.1.2*

Can you guys add more levels already :(

### 1/5 — Cannot have own music forget it

*2019-08-10, version 1.1.3*

Can’t listen to own music while playing major defect. Cute concept and game but I need my own music when I play games it’s a simple thing that games used to respect.

### 1/5 — Castle Pals, anyone?

*2019-06-13, version 1.1.2*

A lot of these assets and game mechanics were ripped straight from Castle Pals, another game of his. Not to mention that some of the assets in that game were ripped from previous games. Also, I’m giving this game a one star for its inconsistently responsive jumping, the asset reuses, and the fact that I have to hold my iPad “portrait” style to play this, which is just uncomfortable (in my opinion).

I’ll let you get away with the reused assets and portrait style, even though I think that there are logical reasons as to why neither should be a thing, but the jumping is a legitimate problem, one that also affected Owen in Castle Pals. I assume these two games run on the same engine/base code, so come now, this shouldn’t be too hard to fix.

### 1/5 — Random ad

*2019-03-26, version 1.1.1*

Random forced ad within the first minute.

### 1/5 — Don’t turn off my audio

*2019-02-12, version 1.0*

If a game (like this one) turns off the music or podcast I’m listening to, I delete it right away. So I have no idea about the game because the developers did something irritating that isn’t necessary.

### 1/5 — BAD

*2019-02-11, version 1.0*

It keeps crashing me instantly
👎👎👎👎👎

### 1/5 — Ce n’est pas un jeu très cool

*2019-02-09, version 1.0*

Je désinstal

### 1/5 — Los controles fallan

*2019-02-07, version 1.0*

Cuando tocas dos botones a la vez por ejemplo, moverte hacia una dirección + salto, a veces falla. Es un fallo gordo y de ahí que le de 1 estrella, y es que te lleva a morir una y otra vez... Cambiaré la puntuación cuando sea jugable porque el juego no es malo.

### 2/5 — Clunky controls but fun

*2019-02-09, version 1.0*

Controls are clunky but it seems fun. Couldn't handle the controls for too long though.

### 2/5 — Реклама слишком бесит

*2019-02-07, version 1.0*

Игра симпатичная, управление адекватное, в целом все нормально. Но внезапно открывающаяся на весь экран реклама с видео на пол минуты — это просто отврат. Есть вам нужно заработать, не обязательно делать это настолько радикально. Совесть надо иметь и уважение к пользователям.

### 3/5 — Everytime the app loads music is enabled

*2022-08-24, version 1.1.11*

Even if you turn sound off the last time you played it still has sound next time you start up the game

### 5/5 — Amazing!

*2020-06-14, version 1.1.5*

I got this game when it came out, and I loved it and still do! Simple, but definitely fun! Amazing game.

### 5/5 — On the New Winter Levels...

*2020-05-15, version 1.1.5*

The new winter levels are SO COOL! I can’t wait for the next update! If you’re making more winter levels, could make it so the ice balls don’t last as long? I found that as soon as I got hit, I had no chance at finishing the level. Also, if you made a level where you wanted to get hit by the ice balls and you had to time it just right, that would be really cool. Thanks so much for making such a great game!

### 5/5 — Perfect on iPad!!!

*2020-01-10, version 1.1.4*

Great playability and enjoyable physics.
