### 2/5 — Awful controls

*2025-05-12, version 1.7*

Amazing pixel art but horrible controls. 0 control option, still no virtual controller or left/right touch system. Wasted talent…

### 4/5 — Still works great after all these years

*2024-12-02, version 1.7*

Game runs well on iPhone SE 2

### 4/5 — Really wish it had touch to move controls

*2020-03-08, version 1.7*

.

### 2/5 — 操作性❌

*2020-01-26, version 1.7*

ゲーム自体は面白いですが
操作性が悪いです
キャラクタ移動が携帯本体を傾けるという方法なのでとてもやりにくい…
できれば左手親指でキャラクタを操作したかったですね…

### 2/5 — no IPhone X

*2017-11-24, version 1.7*

Update does NOT add support for iPhone X resolution

### 5/5 — Immer höher

*2016-11-05, version 1.7*

Ein Müllberg baut sich auf und Du bist oben drauf! Komme so hoch wie möglich, um zu gewinnen.

### 5/5 — Ich liebe dieses Spiel!

*2016-05-20, version 1.7*

Weil The Incident jetzt auch auf dem Apple TV 4 verfügbar ist, wollte ich hier nur kurz klarmachen, dass es ich dieses Spiel liebe. Auf allen Plattformen!

### 4/5 — GG (Good Game)

*2015-08-04, version 1.6*

Simple yet fun. That's pretty much all you need to explain this game.

### 5/5 — Bien penser

*2015-05-29, version 1.6*

Juste Gé-nia-li-sim !

### 5/5 — Great game!

*2015-04-24, version 1.6*

I pretty much love everything with this game. It is unique. The controls are perfect and there is a sensitivity slider in options to tailor things to your liking. The story mode is fun and the endless mode is great. Definitely worth the price of admission. Runs flawlessly on the IPhone 5s running iOS 8.3 thank you devs!

### 5/5 — Good

*2015-04-21, version 1.6*

Its a fun game u should get it

### 4/5 — Bug

*2015-03-14, version 1.6*

This game is awesome but when i oppen it, the whole screen is zoomed in, making it impossible for me to play.

Im playing on an iPod 4th generation.
(I think the bug happened because of the adaptation to the larger screen of the iPhone 6+)

I hope you can fix it!

### 2/5 — Cool but doesn't work

*2015-02-20, version 1.6*

It used to be a fun game but it won't work properly on my iPhone 5s

### 1/5 — 返金しろ

*2016-08-23, version 1.7*

遊べたもんじゃない

### 1/5 — Ein Stern zuviel

*2015-07-04, version 1.6*

Schade eigentlich, das Spiel hat als kurzes zwischendurch Spiel durchaus Potential aber es ist unspielbar.
Die Tippfelder sind verschoben und nicht an den Bildschirm angepasst.
Ein Starten des Spiels ist möglich nur wenn man Gestorben ist, sitzt man fest die Felder reagieren nicht.

Keine Kaufempfehlung! für den Euro hätt ich mir auch ein Eis kaufen können.

Schade.

### 1/5 — Why???

*2015-07-02, version 1.6*

It's unplayable now. The screen is stretched out and it doesn't work. I use to love this game...why??

### 1/5 — 最悪のアプデ

*2015-06-11, version 1.6*

エンドレスモードしか出来なくなった

しかも、画面が歪んでる
これじゃクソゲー

### 1/5 — Impossible to play on a 3GS

*2015-05-31, version 1.5.2*

Impossible to play this game on a 3GS since the last update : the screen resolution is too high for this device. But the 1.5.1 version works fine

### 1/5 — Stretchy

*2015-05-10, version 1.6*

Why is everything so stretched out? I remember this game being fun, now I can barely play it. It is very disappointing.

### 1/5 — Terrible for iPhone 4

*2015-03-12, version 1.6*

It has the potential to be fun but the screen looks too stretched out when I open the app. I can't pick any of the options unless I just tap around the screen. If this was fixed I think it would be a 5 star game but don't plan on playing it with iPhone 4.

### 1/5 — The last update brocken on iphone 4

*2015-02-19, version 1.6*

Now the screen is stretched on iphone 4 ios 6, buttons dont work, unplayable... Please fix it!!

### 1/5 — Needs update

*2014-09-25, version 1.5.2*

Crashes on startup on the new iPhone 6+

### 1/5 — Needs to be Fixed

*2013-11-21, version 1.5.2*

I can't believe I just paid a dollar for this app that doesn't work. It immediately crashes at the title screen. I've tried reinstalling, rebooting my ipad, and even tried it on a different ipad - no luck. Don't buy this until it has been updated.

(I'm on an ipad air running ios 7.0.4)

### 5/5 — Loved this game back in the day

*2026-02-03, version 1.7*

This was one of the first iOS games I ever had. I use to play it on the subway heading to work. Good memories!

### 5/5 — Kindheit Classic

*2025-12-26, version 1.7*

Das Spiel habe ich damals an dem iPod meines Vaters gespielt. Es ist und bleibt eines meiner Lieblings Spiele aller Zeiten!

### 5/5 — classic

*2025-04-11, version 1.7*

classic game but damn it needs an update to stay on the phone. classic 5 stars

### 5/5 — Thank you

*2024-12-15, version 1.7*

Great game 😎

### 5/5 — 簡單好玩

*2024-12-06, version 1.7*

不需要動太多腦筋，用來消遣還不錯

### 5/5 — The best game I’ve played on mobile

*2024-01-18, version 1.7*

I come back to it from time to time.
It’s always been in my phone.
I love the mysterious retro music, the intriguing background story, and the not-so-easy controls. The controls are well thought for mobile, without being the usual silly virtual gamepad or boring 1-touch-no-think “action” games.

### 5/5 — This is a FUN FUN FUN game to play!!!!

*2020-09-20, version 1.7*

After all these years, I got reacquainted with The Incident.  Still!  A great looking and fun game to play on the iPhone. 

I know the game is aging but I would love to see the developer offer support for it again. Namely, controller support for the iPhone. I hope this game never leaves the AppStore and we need more like it.  ❤️❤️❤️

### 5/5 — Nostalgia

*2020-05-30, version 1.7*

Game is super fun!!!! I remember few years back I played this with my older sister and we loved it. Now I was searching up the game and now I found it! I thought my memory’s were gone forever! But can you change the starting up music? It gives me PTSD lol. Anyways 5 stars!!!

### 5/5 — あいかわらずおもしろい

*2020-01-26, version 1.7*

空から落ちてくるゴミを避けて、積もるゴミの山を登り続けるゲームです。
なんとなしに知れる物語と、後半の激ムズアクション性がたまらない。
IPad Pro ios13でストーリー、サバイバル共に問題なく遊べます

### 5/5 — That’s a really good game

*2018-07-07, version 1.7*

Had this game way back on the iPhone 4, it was a fun little time waster with great controls and cool design. Just decided to get it again for the iPhone 8
