User reviews

Excellent mobile game. No plans for new device support?

Would be 5 stars if it supported my iPhone X. iPad 11 would be cool too.

So Deppresing.

I saw this game and I thought it looked kind of cool. So I gave it a whirl and absolutely hated it. It was fun at first, but then I noticed it was an infinite runner and there was no way of getting something new except getting a near impossible score. I think all these five stars reviews are by hidden devs or whackos.

Good Idea

It's a good baseline idea for something new and different, but it's extremely boring as is. After several updates where they add changing scenery, things to buy with the coins you get, power ups maybe? Then it'll be a powerhouse app that I think will become super popular, but right now it's not in a good enough stage to be worth even $0.99

This Game Makes Me Smile

This is a genuinely great game! The mechanics are intuitive and the game is challenging without being frustrating. The cherry on top is the spunky and joyful soundtrack that puts a grin on my face. I am in love! Thank you!

Looks better than it is

Eh with the app screen I thought it was going to be nice but.... no. 8 bit pixel or whatever
It's not an platformer but an endless runner
Also it's to fast with lots of glitches
I DEMAND MY MONEY BACK
