### 4/5 — Been playing this on and off for almost a year

*2022-12-29*

I like this game I’m not flooded with ads every time I open the app you choose to watch an ad to get an extra life. The game is fun and the controls feel great, my only complaint is it cost .99 (US) cents per cosmetic and that’s a bit much I’d rather spend like $4.99 (USD) to unlock everything and has put me off from paying for anything

### 4/5 — Great foundation

*2021-10-20*

Came from Reddit to check it out. Left my feedback on that post but I’ll copy and paste it here. 

Some suggestions:

I’d decrease the amount of ads and give more incentive to watch them. Add lesser items that can be bought with in game coins. I know the spin feature is there, but it feels like a large grind to work toward a random unlock and it’s the only thing you can spend coins on. Maybe spend 50 coins for one time use upgrades that add more variety to the gameplay. Maybe a timed invincibility power-up, timed x2 coin power-up, etc.

Even variety through a daily reward system. Log in each day to get new incremental rewards, and if you miss a day you’re sent back to the first day of rewards.

Also, pause button.

Overall fun and addictive foundation. Controls are very smooth. I love the variable jump height, really works in games like this.

I hope you take some of the feedback in this post and turn it into something even better! Good job and good luck!

### 4/5 — Patience is key.

*2021-10-20*

Game is fun. Simple to pick up but hard to master. Patience is definitely what you need or else you will be rage quitting. Ads are a bit annoying but its mobile so most games have it = you get used to it. (gotta make money somehow :/)

### 3/5 — It’s pretty good.

*2021-10-16*

Kinda stumbled upon this game randomly browsing thru the App Store. It’s fun for a mobile game. Simple, but charming enough. The ads are a little overkill but they’re fine if you have good patience.
