### 3/5 — Too Frustrating

*2025-12-26, version 4.0.0*

Needs proper left and right buttons rather than tilting the ipad to move as it is just impossible to control. I think as a regular platform game it would be much better.

### 5/5 — Pretty Swag

*2023-03-15*

Vertigus Changed my for the better in 20019 when the pandemic hit, I became chronically depressed until I found out the gem that is Vertigus. 

Thankyou for saving my life Vertigus

### 5/5 — Great game!

*2016-05-23, version 1.0*
