### 4/5 — Kind of addicting

*2017-06-23, version 1.41*

Somebody put a lot of love into this game. I like everything from the interface to minimalism to simple timing based gameplay. The graphics are outdated however, and it does get a bit repetitive, yet keeps you coming back.

### 4/5 — Very enjoyable

*2017-06-16, version 1.4*

I am really having fun with this game. Developers are not greedy at all, not like other games. 
Play this.

### 4/5 — Pretty great

*2017-05-29, version 1.2*

It's pretty basic - but it keeps me hitting the "play" button! Not sorry I spent a buck which is more than you can say for a lot of stuff on the App Store.

Weirdly, even after I wrote this positive review the game keeps occasionally inviting me to do it again.

**Developer response:** Thanks for the review! I will fix the review prompt in the next update, it's my mistake, sorry! The next update will also include Tap control as well as new unlock system for the characters. Stay tuned!

### 5/5 — Fantastic

*2021-03-04, version 1.41*

Love, love, love this game. I wish they would update it for newer phones and/or come out with a sequel. Highly recommended.

**Developer response:** Thank you! It's an honor :)

### 5/5 — Beautifully done.

*2017-12-17, version 1.41*

A great endless runner with a really striking visual style, a great flow to its gameplay mechanics and an absolutely killer soundtrack. Highly recommended to anyone who likes their endless runners to include some timing-based action.

### 5/5 — Worth every penny.

### 5/5 — Highly Stylized, Highly Enjoyable

*2017-06-14, version 1.41*

This straightforward, endless distance game has a great look and feel! The stylized graphics are simplistic but beautiful in their black and tan Japanese look. Additionally the game has high replay value and is quite addictive in just the right way. Excellent game!
