When you are in the middle of the game an add mast pop up causing you to lose. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ out of ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ stars. ### 3/5 — No motion *2019-11-17, version 4.0* All the levels are ready hard and fun but the whole reason I’m writing this is because the levels that are supposed to move don’t ### 1/5 — Worse than trash *2019-11-14, version 4.0* Don’t even get me started, the controls are terrible. The joystick is over sensitive and takes up half the screen, making level one the worlds hardest game on its own. Did I mention the ads. This game doesn’t give a crap about you completing a level, if they can flash you the same Facebook ad every ten seconds they will, even if it means doing so in the middle of a level. The graphics are bad as well, I had no idea you could make a game consisting of only blocks and balls look so bad. I know this app is free but I wouldn’t recommend downloading it if you got paid to get it. Maybe someday you guys could think about taking this app off the AppStore. Thanks for your time ### 1/5 — Problems with this game *2019-10-29, version 4.0* 1 an add popped up while I was playing and then I died 2 to many adds keep popping up when I’m playing I get you want me to get more games but plz fix this 3 The blue things DIDNT FREAKIN TOUCH ME AND I died 4 the mouse keeps freezing and I keep dying plz fix this like bug fixes 5 I finish the game and it restarts me over and over again plz fix this I feel like this is why people give this game 1 STAR that’s embarrassing and that makes NOBODY want to install this game if you could fix these bug fixes maybe people would actually like this game because it so RIDICULOUS that people have to go through this and it’s the worlds hardest game by not being able to play with these bug fixes Plz fix this and that’s all THANK YOU AND BYE ### 4/5 — Bug complaint *2019-08-08, version 4.0* Hi idk if anyone’s ever gonna read this but I got an add witch is fine but after it any where I touched the joystick popped up and the screen was all gittery just saying to anyone who reads this idk if it will happen to you but besides this I played this game on laptop before and never had a problem with it but overall the game isn’t bad besides the bug thank you for reading and goodbye. ### 1/5 — Too many ads, and too slow *2019-07-17, version 4.0* Every single time I try to get the coin on the third level I can’t do it. I even beat the level and it made me restart it. Every single time I die it gives me an ad and the background ad sound messes me up. It keeps the ad going and it doesn’t stop the ad sound. ### 1/5 — Actually broken *2019-07-15, version 4.0* This game is quite literally broken on level 4. The blue circles (which kill you when you touch them) don’t move (which they’re supposed to). It’s not the world’s hardest game, it’s just a broken mess that’s literally unplayable. Besides that the controls are garbage. You’re better off playing any flash version of this game on a computer from the last 20 years as opposed to wasting storage space downloading this. It’s a sad attempt to port a flash game to iOS and it failed miserably. If I could rate this 0/5 stars I would. ### 1/5 — Not meant for phones *2019-05-10, version 4.0* The touchscreen just controls bad. Also level 4 is bugged. If you hit a yellow dot, it becomes an obstacle and kills you. The gap you have to go through isn't possible to go through unless you jam the C-stick toward the wall and angle down. ### 2/5 — Broken *2019-05-08, version 4.0* Played the game pretty happily until level 4, and then the game was broken. The dots are supposed to spin, but they’re not. This makes the game impossible to complete. There are also way too many ads. I play with WiFi and data off to fix the problem, but it’s kind of annoying. ### 2/5 — Different on different devices *2019-03-19, version 4.0* When I play on my computer it is fine but on my phone it glitches way to much also whenever a add pops up and I press the x button the control pad thing keeps on duplicating when I touch an area ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Never download this stupid app *2021-11-06, version 5.0* Every single time when I go to level three I feel like I am explode someday you should remove this stupid app from the App Store and never make something so hard make something easier ugh ### 1/5 — Now just why are free games so bad now *2021-10-16, version 5.0* 1. the screen doesn’t look right on my ipad 2. the controls are terrible 3. How is this worse then the original flash game ### 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! ### 1/5 — Add *2020-05-31, version 4.0* The only reason it’s hard is because it puts ads in while you are playing the level. Randomly in the middle of levels I die because an ad pops up. At least wait till I die ### 1/5 — Play It On Computer *2020-04-08, version 4.0* I was stoked to see that this game is in the store until I tried to play it with a touch screen... which is horrendous. This game is actually really fun but really unfair on iPhone. It was a computer flash game far before it popped up on here, go check it out and use a keypad! ### 1/5 — 0 out of 5 *2020-02-27, version 4.0* I’ll keep it short the game doesn’t even work half the time and when it does work your being spammed with ads. I would mind the ads if this game was remotely fun, but it’s not ### 1/5 — Not like the real game *2019-11-23, version 4.0* It’s just plain awful. You die without getting touched, and some levels are off from the real game. Also if you take too long to complete a levels all of the obstacles become unsynchronized. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — LOL I GLITCHED THIS GAME TO GET ON LEADERBOARDS *2021-10-23, version 5.0* glitch 1: if you swipe fast enough you can just noclip through the walls glitch 2: if youre on ipad (might work on phone haven’t tried) you can swipe up the apps at the bottom of your screen or pop up multitask which if you do that on most levels it just lets you instantly win. ### 5/5 — One thing *2021-05-26, version 4.0* Why are the rotating things not rotating? ### 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. ### 5/5 — U *2020-05-19, version 4.0* Ok well this game has bad reveals but it’s supposed to be the hardest game on earth sooo have you put the in your mind ### 5/5 — Great *2020-04-21, version 4.0* Idk why ppl say joy stick is trash just get skills or this game is just to hard for u I beat 1-10 with out a single death get skills and there are barley any ads ### 5/5 — Hard yet fun game *2019-08-08, version 4.0* This game is so much fun I like the other guys review if you don’t have anything nice to say don’t say anything even my teacher say’d it at school ### 5/5 — :/ *2019-07-16, version 4.0* On any level where the balls are supposed come together to make a big spinning obstacle or just when they are supposed move in general. Like it should be a spinning plus or something, it would just not spin, creating an unpassable obstacle ### 5/5 — Turn off yo wi-fi lol *2019-03-29, version 4.0* It’s suppose to be hard and if you do t want adds, turn off your WiFi, and they might have an in game purchase for adds because this game is free ### 5/5 — Great *2019-03-16, version 4.0* Great it for the people who complain about adds if you turn off WiFi adds can’t pop up --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
