### 3/5 — White screen continues

*2021-09-06, version 1.1.6*

Love the theme, gameplay, style, soundtrack and simplicity of the game. At first I thought the theme and design are based on Aztec culture but I guess it’s chimu culture. I don’t know if it is not but I learned something today that I didn’t know before. The only reason it’s 3 stars is because the screen goes white and won’t play after I choose replay when game over. This happens with the challenging mode after the last level path madness. Challenge mode is tough. When I die, the screen goes white and I have to replay madness level again to jump on challenge mode level 1 every time.

### 3/5 — Pretty good

*2021-04-11, version 1.1.6*

I was really exited to get this game after seeing that I didn’t need arcade to get it but then I started playing it and noticed that it has so little gameplay compared to the Apple Arcade version😕 it’s still pretty good anyway but the point of the game is basically to get all the skins and to beat the path of insanity. Not as good as I expected but still pretty good

### 5/5 — Need porting to Apple TV

*2021-03-14, version 1.1.6*

Great app best if they port it to Apple TV

### 3/5 — Not loading level 3

*2019-12-15, version 1.1.5*

Stops working after a few minutes of play.
Nice looking game, but it doesn’t work very well.

### 1/5 — Not loading after level 3

*2019-12-15, version 1.1.5*

Game is so cool. But can’t get past level 3. It just goes blank.

### 1/5 — After Level 3 not working

*2019-12-07, version 1.1.5*

See commentS!!
And do something 🤦🏻‍♂️

### 2/5 — Game locks up

*2019-11-07, version 1.1.5*

Loving the game but on the 4th lvl thrones of zum’arak it starts to load up then a few bursts of light appear fill the screen with white and just stays that way no matter what

### 3/5 — Towaga

*2019-10-07, version 1.1.5*

I don't remember what took me so long to play this, but I've had it for months and only just played it recently after the latest update. It does play a lot like Ziggurat with a splash of Savant Ascent (as many others have said), two games I happen to REALLY enjoy. 

The 'special' shot gauge being your health is a cool mechanic, and even though the 'let up' to collect killed enemies mechanic took a little gameplay before I got comfortable with it, it's also a very cool mechanic that's been incorporated into this game. The devs have done a great job of balancing the difficulty for a score chaser and the graphics are absolutely beautiful.

This has quickly become one of the titles that's made it to my 'never delete' folder. If you're into score chasers and looking for a game with some very fluid play, well designed and integrated mechanics and challenging gameplay, I'd totally recommend you pick this up - if the developers ever update it. Because right now, it seems that no one can play past stage 3, and I have fallen into that camp too. I can try, but the screen just goes white and never fully loads. =/
So.... 5 star game, that's only getting 3 stars? Well, it seemed fitting.
=J

### 3/5 — 4th level seems to be broken

*2019-10-06, version 1.1.5*

Screen starts flickering then turns completely white.

The first 3 levels were fun though

### 3/5 — Not loading after level 3

*2019-09-26, version 1.1.5*

One of the best mobile games I’ve downloaded in a while. Unfortunately, it has not loaded anything after level 3, preventing me from advancing or playing. Really a shame since the game is so fun and beautifully designed!
