It’s very repetitive and plain. It’s an interesting idea but it was just not fun. This is just my opinion. The one good thing is that there is no overflow of in app purchases ### 3/5 — Restart *2020-03-07, version 1.1.1* I loved the concept of this game it’s just what I love in a game but once I finish it you restart the whole thing and it gets boring try adding some more features and an adventure of some sort spice it up, but overall love the game ❤️ ### 4/5 — Nice game, but one small problem. *2019-01-30, version 1.1.1* I really like this game. I don’t mind the ads as much as most of the other reviewers. I came across something that is most likely a bug: at the start of level 3, the card that tells me what pattern to create is blank. I thought it meant to not draw anything, but then I get hit by a monster and died. I didn’t feel too happy about that. ### 3/5 — Repetitive🙂👍🏻👍🏻 *2018-03-31, version 1.1* It's fun , simple , and easy to learn but it's very bland. Every time I kill an enemy, it doesn't feel like an opponent, it feels like an obstacle. Shake it up,now it's not a bad game, just take it with a pinch of salt ok?5 out of 10 ### 4/5 — Addictive and enjoyable! *2018-03-04, version 1.1* I really like this game and and like the swipe mechanic. The pixel visuals are really cool too. My only complaint is that I’ve been running into some annoying bugs, such as the sequence not being displayed (doesn’t show me what I have to swipe) and the time not resetting each round. Other than that, really good! ### 2/5 — Neat Idea, WAY too many ads *2018-02-27, version 1.1* A great game crippled by way too many ads. Every level, there's an ad. You made a single mistake? Ad, or you're dead. Oh, and now that you're dead, so you want the rewards for that life? One more ad. So either way, you're watching more ads. It's over the top. I spent more time watching 30 second ads than I did playing. Which is a shame, because those tiny bits of gameplay were enjoyable. ### 4/5 — Plz read for info-Awesome but.... *2018-01-21, version 1.0.4* It’s a great game and I really don’t mind the ads.Even if the ads are a bit boring it’s a nice time waster game.However it’s too quick for me!I need more time to figure out the harder ones as it only give you around 10-15 seconds to do it.in fact QUICKER THAN THAT!I really wish that the developers will give us more time oh and yes,I Hate it when you die/lose and you have to go back ALL the way to lvl1.🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩LOVE IT THOUGH PLZ DOWNLOAD ### 4/5 — Nice Concept! *2017-12-16, version 1.0.4* It's a great game and I would highly recommend getting. It reminds me of one of those pixel tog games, however very simple.But, It's also very rage inducing. ### 3/5 — Really cool game *2017-11-10, version 1.0.4* I really love the concept!! Super fun and addicting!! Only thing is there isnt like a checkpoint system. Which makes the game a bit boring and repetitive to have to do the first levels over and over again. ### 4/5 — Good *2017-10-15, version 1.0.4* Can be pretty frustrating but otherwise, a cool game. ### 4/5 — Interesting concept *2017-10-15, version 1.0.4* Haven’t played long yet, but it’s a nice take on this concept. Pretty well executed gameplay, nice visuals without anything flashy so far. Might be a bit unforgiving with complete restart on only a single life, but may not seem too bad with more practice. ### 2/5 — Nice concept *2017-10-15, version 1.0.4* Nice concept and graphics, but It’s pushing ads on you too hard. Temporary upgrade in an unforgiving game you either unlock by an ad or more coins than you made so far in your run... See another ad once you die for a few more coins... Go back to the main screen and ask to unlock an upgrade I don’t have enough coins for, every times... It feels like I die at my first mistake and spend more time in menus or ads then actually playing. ### 2/5 — Meh *2017-10-03, version 1.0.4* I don't really like to review games, but this one has so much potential that i decided to do it. First off, i am not getting coins for posting on twitter. Second, i can't watch any videos for coins! The option is there but i can't click on it. Lastly, you can't even land soul swipe because it doesn't register as well as regular attacks. ### 2/5 — Shocking standards.. *2017-09-13, version 1.0.1* I gave u 2 stars because I like the art.. apart from that, the game is way too repetitive and simple; too boring.. add some spells or some kind of rpg element.. this just seems too tedious to play.. ### 5/5 — Awesome *2017-09-13, version 1.0.4* I hope the future of this game continues to expand ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Bad *2017-12-26, version 1.0.4* Worst game ive ever played ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2017-11-11, version 1.0.4* For having such a simple game mechanic, this app was surprisingly engaging. However the ads made it unbearable; most being 30secs long. Might not sound like much, however if you are on a higher difficulty and you die often, the ads become increasingly inconvenient. I decided to purchase the ad remover and 2x coin bundle, since I was getting pretty into it and IT DID NOT REMOVE THE ADS. Only the 2x coin works. I tried uninstalling and restoring purchase to only yield the same results. Very disappointed and rebarbative. ### 1/5 — Too hard to progress *2017-10-17, version 1.0.4* Costs a hefty amount of gold or a watchthrough of an ad for a seemingly insignificant upgrade in stats. Everything in the shop costs too much for too little. For example, the silver set equipment dont even do anything when purchased, its only when youve bought all 3 items that you get to survive more than one hit in the game. To progress in the game, youll have to invest a significant amount of time and endure a number of ads for a small set of actual upgrades. ### 1/5 — ? *2017-09-23, version 1.0.4* Is this suppose to be like a knock off of Defenders of texel what happened to that game ? ### 1/5 — No *2017-09-04, version 1.0.2* Just no ### 1/5 — Not Really F2P *2017-09-03, version 1.0.1* To continue battles after the first battle, you either need to watch ads or pay for coins. Don't know if you can win coins over time but hitting this P2P practise turned me off ! DELETED ! ### 1/5 — Rubbish *2017-09-01, version 1.0.1* It is to fast. You also can't go back over lines that you have already drawn. ### 1/5 — Bad *2017-09-01, version 1.0.1* Its just bad. ### 1/5 — Pay for easy mode! *2017-09-01, version 1.0.1* Gotta admit, that's a new one. Paying for hard mode, all the time. Granted, just 1 minute in to this simplistic game it already gets distressingly challenging. So you're gonna want to buy that easy mode. Which you can collect enough gold for by playing this lobotomy emulator for about 2 hours, or pay cash money. Yay... ### 1/5 — It's just boring *2017-09-01, version 1.0.1* Not much else to say. Sank 2$ for double coins and no ads. The game is basic and there is no motivation to play it long-term. Same repetitive enemies and bosses. Even though I payed for no ads I'm faced with paying currency or watching an ad to get the temporary power up. Not very fair in my opinion. This game leaves you bored after 10 minutes. No variety whatsoever. Would not recommend. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Fun *2021-03-27, version 1.1.1* Great game, easy to pick up, no bugs, fun. ### 5/5 — Fabless *2019-02-23, version 1.1.1* Amazing Details and God Art work ### 5/5 — Very entertaining *2018-06-25, version 1.1* I just started playing and I’m getting real Pokemon Ranger nostalgia (anyone else remember those games?) along with the music and the graphics just really finds a place in my heart. I’ll be playing this for a long time to come. ### 5/5 — Fantastic! *2018-06-18, version 1.1* Very cool game mechanic! Really enjoyable ### 5/5 — AWESOME *2018-04-07, version 1.1* It’s a great fun original idea only thing I would recommend is that the pause button is on top right corner of the swipe thing. ### 5/5 — Pretty good! *2017-12-12, version 1.0.4* This is the best idea to make a game. Really good and has a quick pace. I wonder what the developer is going to do next. Maybe add a story mode or a race mode. Keep this game shining! ⭐️ ### 5/5 — Cute and fun game *2017-12-09, version 1.0.4* This game is well thought out! Cute and super fun! One of my favorite! ### 5/5 — Honestly, its worth playing... *2017-11-21, version 1.0.4* There's lots of simple games rushed out by small companies in order to make a quick buck, Swipe Castors isn't one of them. The gameplay is simple and intuitive, and while the difficulty rises quickly it always seems you can get through another stage with just enough effort. There are a few things that can be done better, but since none of those involve gameplay I won't bother issuing them here. If you haven't played the game I'd recommend trying it out! ### 5/5 — Great game *2017-09-22, version 1.0.4* I personally love it! ### 5/5 — Great Universe Building *2017-09-15, version 1.0.4* I'm a real sucker for good universe building if you decide to make more games maybe expand on the other continents and what's going on there, this game shows improvement from its predecessors. 100/10 would rate again! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
