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! ### 4/5 — Issues 😫 *2021-04-30, version 1.02* I can’t quit playing and start a new game every time I press yes it doesn’t work! ### 3/5 — Control is horribble *2021-01-02, version 1.02* Ein schönes Spiel, schöne Grafik, schöne Musik, es macht Spaß. Aber die Steuerung ist furchtbar. Bitte MFi Controller Support. So wie bei Paper Monsters Recut = auch von diesem Entwickler. iPad Pro 12,9“ Support wäre auch schön. Ich komme nicht mal durch das 1. Level. The game is funny, the grafic is nice, the music I Love it. Please give the game MFi Controller support and controls on the screen like Paper Monsters Recut = a game from the same Developer. 12,9“ iPad Pro Support would be fine. I came Not through the First level. Because the controlls. ### 2/5 — Controls *2020-08-17, version 1.02* Where are the control options? Button placement? Button resizing? Where is controller support? ### 4/5 — latest issues *2020-07-07, version 1.02* i’m glad the controls are fixed but the save is messed up and i can’t save my progress when quitting ### 3/5 — Right. Now *2020-07-06, version 1.02* Alright. The controls are fixed. Now what you need to fix is the “Quit” button. It’s not working either ### 4/5 — Good game but need to update *2020-04-18* bugs in landscape mode ### 3/5 — So close .... *2020-04-16* 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. ### 2/5 — A Chore to Play *2019-12-14, version 1.01* 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! ### 2/5 — Control... *2019-12-01, version 1.01* 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. ### 2/5 — idek *2019-11-20, version 1.01* i like the game but you literally have to figure out everything on your own. it doesn’t give you any instruction and it’s hard to play. the controls are very nonresponsive ### 3/5 — Control issues *2019-11-16, version 1.01* This game demands more precise controls. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Only Playing on 1 side *2021-02-26, version 1.02* 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. ### 1/5 — Not great *2020-09-06, version 1.02* If you can read this dont give your money to this game. It is super bad and you cant do anything and if you die you restart at the begin. I do not like it ### 1/5 — Horrivel *2020-05-29, version 1.01* Controles horríveis, você acerta os inimigos e finge que não acertou, perdi R$3,90 ### 1/5 — Terrible controls *2019-12-10* 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! ### 1/5 — Steuerung unterirdisch *2019-12-06, version 1.01* Das Spiel hat vom Aussehn her Potenzial aber ich schaffe nicht mal das 1. Level aufgrund der unpräzisen Steuerung. Bitte nachbessern! ### 1/5 — I’m sure it’s great *2019-11-28, version 1.01* 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. ### 1/5 — Horrible controls *2019-11-22, version 1.01* It is impossible to get through the water. The controls don’t work. Please fix. This looks like it could be a good game. ### 1/5 — Control is awful *2019-11-14, version 1.01* Control of the game is just a horror, would have known never bought. Have you ever tried to play it yourself? I categorically do not advise to buy. ### 2/5 — Fix the controls *2021-12-23, version 1.1* 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 ### 2/5 — Controls *2020-08-31, version 1.02* 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. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — If Kirby and Mario had a baby *2026-05-10, version 1.1* If Kirby and Mario had a baby it would definitely be whipseey. ### 5/5 — Great slightly challenging action platformer *2022-03-31, version 1.1* 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. ### 5/5 — Kirby *2021-11-24, version 1.1* Ce jeu me fait rappeler à Kirby ! Ungraphisme et une jouabilité excellent…jerecommande vivement ! ### 5/5 — They fixed it! *2020-07-06, version 1.02* 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! ### 5/5 — If Kirby and Mario had a baby *2020-06-30, version 1.01* 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. ### 5/5 — Fan of Whipssey, love the console, dislike the mobile port. *2020-02-16, version 1.01* 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. ### 5/5 — Muito fofo! *2019-12-01, version 1.01* Lembra um pouco o super Mário World! ### 5/5 — Toller Retro Titel *2019-11-15, version 1.01* Mach wirklich Laune! Einzig die Steuerung ist etwas zu unpräzise und träge - könnte noch etwas nachgebessert werden. ### 4/5 — Updated *2022-10-04, version 1.1* 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. ### 4/5 — love this game!!!! *2021-10-15, version 1.1* it’s cheap and there is a cool gameplay! With difficult bosses! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
