How is this worse then the original flash game ### 5/5 — One thing *2021-05-26, version 4.0* Why are the rotating things not rotating? ### 1/5 — THE LEVELS ☹️ *2021-03-06, version 4.0* I don’t mind the ads I just turned my WiFi off and the joystick is fine but some levels are actually impossible I had to go through a tiny space and it wasn’t moving and I couldn’t get through no matter what. I hate it, I can’t complete a dumb level because it is actually impossible I got it because I knew I could turn off WiFi but the levels oh the levels I’m warning you if you read this, DONT GET IT ### 1/5 — I wish I could rate this 0 stars *2020-11-03, version 4.0* This is utter garbage, I played until level 3 and every time I die it freezes for like two seconds and then resets and there are so many ads, I know I can turn on airplane mode but I wanted to try with ads to see how it was like and I keep getting ads every time I’m moving so the ads pop up and I die because of it. Joystick is huge and confusing, play the computer version instead, it’s much better. Plus, this has such boring graphics. It’s like some dumb bootleg copy, do not get this app. ### 1/5 — Too many bugs an other problems and ye *2020-08-18, version 4.0* The controls are hard to control, also the bugs are very annoying, it needs a lot of fixing, also you need to animate the blue dots because on stage 4 5 6, it would be impossible to beat, especially on stage 6, the only way you can beat the game is by using hacks I’m sure, or just by skipping the levels if it’s possible, this game needs a lot of fixing. ### 1/5 — Easy *2020-08-10, version 4.0* I finished the first level in 30 seconds. You don’t need a strategy. You don’t even need to be in second grade. I’m not a first grader I’m higher up but first graders can beat this crap. Just don’t download it. DONT INSTALL THIS GAME YOU CAN BE AT THE END THEN AN AD COME UP AND YOU STOP BUT THE BLUE DOTS DONT STOP SO YOU DIE AT THE VERY END! ### 5/5 — AWESOME GAME! *2020-06-28, version 4.0* the game was just really fun and I enjoyed it a lot I was expecting it to not be good because of other reviews I read but it was a really good game in my opinion I know some games where every like 30 seconds is and ad and it’s SUPER annoying but this game I didn’t think the ads were really that bad at all and it made it challenging because you move slow but I’m pretty sure that was the point any way anyone who reads this should download the game in my opinion because I mean all of the reasons I already listed and if for some reason you don’t like it you can just delete it I mean it is a free game so just try it and if you don’t like it delete but in my opinion you should DEFINITELY get this game it was AWESOME!!! ### 5/5 — Cool *2020-06-17, version 4.0* I don’t get why people hate this for the controls and the difficulty. That’s why it’s called “THE WORLD’S HARDEST GAME”. These people are dumb. This game is nice, and hard to play. Very challenging. ## Frequently asked questions about The World's Hardest Game ### What is The World's Hardest Game? It's a challenging puzzle game where you control a red square.
