Problem is, there isn’t any altitude meter. I have no idea when I have hit the achievement. Then, after (I’m pretty sure) completing a challenge, it isn’t ticked off. Do I have to complete all of them at once? I don’t know, and none of the menus or guide make it clear. On top of that, while going challenge-hunting, you have to go smash some orbs. If you don’t, your challenge completions don’t count. It’s quite frustrating to play a casual game with a time limit. The orbs themselves aren’t fun either. The only reward, as far as I can tell, for collecting all the shards from an orb is points. I once did that, but got disproportionately punished for touching the ground while scrambling to pick up shards. This high-variance low-expectation approach to points means it doesn’t feel good to get points. It still feels bad to touch the ground. Overall, I decided I have no idea what this game wants from me, or what I want from this game, so I stopped playing. ### 4/5 — Still holds up after 8+ years *2021-10-04, version 1.5* Wide Sky’s audiovisuals, tone, and touch gestures place this game ahead of its time. They’re just as whimsical as I remember them. The challenges hold surprising difficulty. Each one pushes a player to try different approaches and, ultimately, improve! With enough patience, continuously clearing challenges makes the hedgehog’s acrobatics feel much more natural. Too bad a few elements of the game’s menus are blocked by my device’s notch. It’s a stain on the game’s presentation. Overall, I’ve enjoyed rediscovering Wide Sky! It’s an appealing way to pass a few minutes at a time. ### 3/5 — Please updateeee!!! *2019-03-04, version 1.35* Loved playing the game long ago want to play again ### 3/5 — Update *2018-11-19, version 1.35* Update please.. ### 4/5 — Beautiful game *2018-05-23, version 1.35* I loved playing this game, it was so cute. The premise was different from anything else I had seen, and the controls were unique too. Thank you for making such a fun game! ### 3/5 — Update ?? *2018-04-14, version 1.35* Been waiting for a update ... if I can’t play this game I might as well delete it. ### 5/5 — PLEASE BRING BACK WIDE SKY!! *2018-01-14, version 1.35* The game was beautifully designed and it was a great game for relaxation and for puzzles. I’m sure you all worked very hard and bringing back this masterpiece would surely be rewarding not only for the team but for Apple users as well! ### 2/5 — One extra star for looks *2017-01-30, version 1.35* Terribly disappointing game. After 30 minutes I can't get through the tutorial. It says to swing from cloud to cloud. How do I get up to a cloud in order to be able to swing from it? I was never able to do even that. This game either needs a better tutorial or a thorough redesign of the controls. I'm not sure which, but clearly most people don't understand what they are supposed to be doing. ### 5/5 — Супер *2017-01-29, version 1.35* Игра понравилась. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 ### 5/5 — Completed *2016-03-20, version 1.35* Completed the game. Got a pinecone ### 5/5 — Looks vs. Gameplay *2015-06-12, version 1.35* I've been playing this for a while now, and I've gotta say, this game looks absolutely amazing. The design is really well done and I commend the developers for such a unique and beautiful presentation. However, the actual game doesn't fly so far. It's addicting at first, but as soon as you're at the point where you're stumped on the challenges, the game becomes frustrating. There should definitely be improvements on the functionality of the game because sometimes the missions seem practically impossible. This app has so much potential, but it needs to improve. I've been stuck on Sparrow for forever.... Edit: I changed my review to 5 stars. This game is absolutely brilliant. Of all the games I've played on a phone, this game is the most aesthetically appealing and unique. I haven't played this game in a while, but for some reason I keep coming back to it. I've finally moved pass Sparrow and have come to love the functionality of the game. There's simply nothing like it. It truly is a beautiful game, and once you get a hang of it, Wide Sky is a spectacular app to pick up and play. tl;dr: It's 2015, and I still play this game. ### 5/5 — 구입목록 삭제해주세요! *2015-04-26, version 1.35* 구입목록 삭제해주세요! ### 5/5 — Immensely educational *2015-03-05, version 1.35* This game will supply you with a cornucopia of facts about nature's misunderstood marvel, the hedgehog. Simply repeat them loudly in public and you will most assuredly impress even the haughtiest zoological expert. Beyond the brilliant writing, this game is just plain fun. Once you learn to master inertia and experience the sheer joy of flying freely through the air and gutting rainbows out of those accursed orbs, you'll be ready to trade in your gawky bipedal ape body for a rope and some quills of your own. ### 3/5 — баг *2015-02-23, version 1.35* ios 8 на ipad не на весь экран ### 3/5 — Fun, eye catching, not sharable ? *2014-12-18, version 1.35* Would be 5 stars if it was sharable. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — support ios 13 abd earlier versiyon *2020-09-15, version 1.35* why? ### 1/5 — 64 bit pleaaaaseeeeee!!! *2018-06-08, version 1.35* Blub ### 1/5 — Bad game *2017-03-03, version 1.35* Difficult to handle and bad graphics ### 1/5 — 노노노노논노노노노노노노노노노노노노잼 *2016-09-18, version 1.35* 노잼 ### 1/5 — Корректно не отображается *2014-12-17, version 1.35* Купил, запустил, вся игра расположена в левом углу экрана, при том что бы нажать на старт нужно кликнуть на серидине экрана в пустоту.... Исправьте пожалуйста ошибку, хочется посмотреть дизайн игры и поиграть! ### 1/5 — Unusable *2014-11-14, version 1.35* Won't open ### 1/5 — No. *2013-12-08, version 1.35* This isn't even worth downloading. Can't figure out how to control it. ### 1/5 — Won't open *2013-11-03, version 1.35* I've tried installing, deleting, reinstalling etc. But still doesn't work for me on ipad. Never even got to the into screen. Deleting. ### 1/5 — Don't bother *2013-11-02, version 1.35* Pretty graphics. Non obvious and dull game play. ### 1/5 — So hard I'm actually upset *2013-11-01, version 1.35* Waaaaaay too frustrating. I am crying inside because the style is lovely but it makes me feel like a total incompetent. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Childhood memories *2026-06-02, version 1.5* I remember playing this game like some 10 years ago. To see this game still around is itself crazy but also it is fully playable. Appreciate the effort by the developer to keep the game available for the next generation. It is a charming soulful game. Thank you. ### 5/5 — My comfort game *2022-12-15, version 1.5* It's the only game I always install whenever I get a new iPhone ### 5/5 — Muy chulo y diferente *2021-10-15, version 1.5* Un juego super chulo. Un diseño cuidado, música agradable y un juego que entretiene un montón. ¡Totalmente recomendable! ### 5/5 — Thanks for the update!!! *2020-11-18, version 1.5* This game is amazing! Finally I could play it on my new devices. Thank you! ### 5/5 — Vuelvan por favor!!! *2020-09-25, version 1.35* Por favor vuelvan a los iOS nuevos!!! ### 5/5 — Please Update!!! *2019-10-22, version 1.35* I love this app but can no longer play because it hasn’t been updated! ### 5/5 — No update *2018-11-02, version 1.35* Wonderful game, wish it was updated ### 5/5 — 😀 *2018-05-19, version 1.35* This game will be with me forever even if it's not compatible with IOS 11😢😢 ### 5/5 — Please update for iOS 11 *2018-04-19, version 1.35* Please update for IOS 11 I love this game but can’t play it anymore ### 5/5 — A very calming, well made game! *2018-04-14, version 1.35* I recently upgraded to an iOS 11 device and I’m very sad to see Wide Sky is not compatible.
