It’s a great game with fun challenges. The inspiration for the game is awesome and over all you’ll have a fun time with it. But every time you want to support the game and pay for the extra characters the game locks up. I hope eventually they will fix the problem ### 1/5 — What happened to Bruce??? *2021-09-25, version 1.55* I use to play this game solely for the Bruce lee like character, then you guys changed the look which is super sad ### 1/5 — Dimebag Celly *2021-09-22, version 1.55* Cant play with the black guy. I love being black! ### 5/5 — Lots of bugs *2020-10-23, version 1.55* So the first thing id like to say about the game is that it is very good. But there are these two bugs that are very annoying. When ever i try to pick a new character the game freezes up. Also sometimes when i die or finish a game the screen just turns black and the only way to play the game again is to close the game’s tab on ny phone and then re enter the game. Plz help. ### 5/5 — Great game! *2020-08-02, version 1.55* But how do you get the other characters when I click on them the game freezes ### 5/5 — A satisfying challenge *2020-03-14, version 1.55* Easy to learn hard to master ### 5/5 — Issue *2020-02-04, version 1.55* I’m enjoying the game and I’d like to support it by paying for your non-ad option but every time I try the screen fades and locks up. What’s the deal. ### 5/5 — The Ending is Sad :( *2019-08-09, version 1.55* I beat the standard counter of death, 99% of turbo mode and 2 levels of super cod mode with 10 hearts. I appreciate this game’s appeal as someone that likes learning fighting games. I can vouch for the challenge that comes from the last two bosses and the other two modes. (If I’m correct, the fastest attacks you block are...16-18 frame punches?) This is game is purely about reaction. Don’t try to predict attacks and don’t get flustered when the enemy hits you. Keep that in mind and you’ll improve. The only thing I’d suggest is more costumes, perhaps different combat animations for your hero. It’s free, you only have to pay to get rid of ads, and the ads aren’t invasive. There’s a grind for hearts (max hp increase), but you can reach max capacity quickly if you get good. This game is pretty cool. ### 5/5 — Awesome game *2019-04-27, version 1.55* Would like to see the game updated for today’s ios and what not. Um really wish that when you enter a floor and when you die you can start at that floor instead of doing the previous floor first before getting to the floor you were on. Kinda redundant to do that since the floor is a checkpoint since when you continue even at the boss stage you must start again at the beginning of the floor. Also would like to see is a progress meter so we can know how long til the end ### 5/5 — WuuuTaaaaaa! *2019-01-22, version 1.55* My new favorite game! One suggestion: you should DODGE the shuriken instead of blocking them. You would need to press the opposite direction to dodge instead of block. This would throw a curve in your muscle memory and reflexes while playing. ## Frequently asked questions about The Counter Of Death ### What is The Counter Of Death about?
