If Kirby and Mario had a baby
If Kirby and Mario had a baby it would definitely be whipseey.
Updated
I REALLY want to like this game, but I've never dealt with such unresponsive controls in my 10 years of iOS gaming. Hold off before buying to see if the developers ever fix it. Otherwise, you might as well just flush your $3 down the toilet.
**update**
The most recent update has fixed the control issues I was having, and now the game plays GREAT.
The only reason I’m not giving it 5 stars is because it’s a bit short. While I understand it’s mobile and super cheap, it’s still impossible not to compare it to other platformers in the $3 range.
Is it worth your time and $? If you’re a fan of platformers, definitely. I’d love to see a sequel in the future….
=)
Thank you to the developers for sticking with it and not just abandoning the game. Hope it sells well for you.

Hello! We have updated the game with improved controls. Hopefully this will resolve your issue. Please check the update. Thanks very much! -Josh
Great slightly challenging action platformer
The game only saves after each stages boss but this is a great little game for a buck. Takes about an hour to beat but for a dollar, the game is well worth it.
Fix the controls
Every review is saying this. Please listen. The controls won’t register taps and jumps and it makes the character super hard to control
update: I also am not a huge fan of the fact that there’s no save throughout the levels, very aggravating to play like this at times

Hello, The game was just updated to fix the controls and other issues. Please try it if you can. Sorry about that! -Josh
Update AWESOME!!!
This game is a really great platformer, but it was SUPER HARD (maybe because I’m really bad at 2-D platformers, lol) and I am so glad it had that update. I think the hardest level is still that snow level- I only beat it once BEFORE the update but it took forever and I’m probably not gonna be able to do it again, haha. I tried! Wish I could see what is different on that level, but I just can’t seem to get past that tricky platforming with the
h e a t s e e k i n g m i s s i l e s . . .
and the train with those bomb-dropping planes (so basically the whole level cause I’m just really bad lol). Sad that the boss battle in the desert level was changed cause now I can’t beat it TwT BUT that’s probably just me, I also gave up after one try heh…
Overall, really cool game and I hope there’s a sequel in the future!

Issues 😫
I can’t quit playing and start a new game every time I press yes it doesn’t work!
Only Playing on 1 side
I really don’t like how I have to hold my electronic a certain way to play the game. I made this Review before but I think they could let you before some update. CAN WE TILT OUR PHONES SIDEWAYS?! Isn’t that too hard.
Controls
As mentioned in other reviews, fun game, but control “buttons” aren’t big enough to detect touch unless directly on button. Frustrating fighting the controls - for a platformer, this is less than ideal.
Controls
Where are the control options? Button placement? Button resizing? Where is controller support?
latest issues
i’m glad the controls are fixed but the save is messed up and i can’t save my progress when quitting
They fixed it!
Huge props on the dev team pushing out this update. It’s a superb Kirby clone and quite good.

They fixed it! Five stars. Outdated review below...
Starts in forced vertical, no audio at all whatsoever, unresponsive controls. Please update ASAP for iOS13/iPhone X, because the game looks gorgeous! I’ll switch this rating to five stars if you fix the audio!

Hello! Please try the new update 1.02. It should fix the issues you were having. Sorry about that. -Josh
If Kirby and Mario had a baby
It would be this game. I’ve got like 4 hours into it and it’s pretty good for the $0.99 I paid. The controls are something to get used to. The level layers are detailed and well thought of. Good job. Keeping this game.
Good game but need to update
bugs in landscape mode
So close ....
Actually quite a decent little mobile platformer. Music and pixel art are pleasing and help provide a nice 16bit console feel. After deciding to use an Mfi controller I found the game to be quite enjoyable, the touch controls need a little more fine tuning but are never going to compete with a proper controller for this style of game. The levels consist of a collection of smaller scrolling subsections, each provide a check point in itself. I do wish however that once you lost all your lives during a level it allowed you to start at half way checkpoint at least ! I do hope this game gets some extra care .... it’s worth it.

Fan of Whipssey, love the console, dislike the mobile port.
Hello, I’ve tried out Whipssey on a console such as a Nintendo Switch, and it was outstanding, but this mobile port is hard to view. I’ve played this on an iPad, and I can’t even see the jump button, and only half of the whip button. So I beg that you make it landscape to make each button viewable and also make me able to view of the whole game (just like the gameplay trailer from above) I gave it 5 stars because I know you people behind the mobile port and game tried their best to make the game available on all new consoles and devices. It’s an outstanding game, but I recommend playing the console versions as of now.

A Chore to Play
As every other review says, the controls are not good, but also there is no save. I have to repeatedly start over and work my way through all the levels leading up to the boss because I can’t defeat it due to the controls. The controls wouldn’t be quite so miserable if I wasn’t having to replay all the levels over again. Please fix this!

Hello! We have fixed the controls and other issues in update 1.02. Please give it a try. Thanks very much! -Josh
Terrible controls
When you want to jump, you want to jump! The taps respond only randomly making this game super frustrating to play. The frame rate is choppy even on a modern iPhone. Amateur!
Control...
Amazing platform concept and plot, but the controls are awful. I had to fight the boss about ten times before actually killing it because i wasn’t able to control myself and dodge his minions. Pressing the jump button wouldn't register either, so i was constantly missing simple jumps.

Hello, We've done a bunch of fixes to controls and other issues in this new update. Please give it a try! Thanks, Josh
I’m sure it’s great
But the game starts up sideways. 1/3 of the screen isn’t present and I can’t play it. Even after re-downloading it, it still doesn’t work. I’d send pictures, but there’s sadly no option on the review page.
Horrible controls
It is impossible to get through the water. The controls don’t work. Please fix. This looks like it could be a good game.

Sorry about that - please give the update a try! Its version 1.02. Thanks! -Josh
