Highly recommended ### 5/5 — Downloaded it, can’t stop play it. *2019-08-19, version 1.1* Very good game. 8bit hugest graphics :) different challenges for everyone. Recommend it to everyone! ### 5/5 — Love it! *2019-08-19, version 1.1* Great pixel art, tons of collectibles, challenging but fun gameplay, leaderboards and achievements galore, cool and unique story, controls that are perfect for touchscreen - all these things contribute to one of the best mobile games I’ve played this year. And I play a LOT of mobile games. =) ### 5/5 — Eye see a classic in the making! *2019-08-19, version 1.1* Witcheye is a delicious love letter to classic arcade/platformers. The pixel art is gorgeous in a market oversaturated with similar art styles. The music is cute too. Most of all, controls are tight and the gameplay is super satisfying. Lots of replay value! Multiple difficulties, boss AND mini boss rushes, and speed runs. ### 5/5 — Great game *2019-08-18, version 1.1* Creative, fun and one I’m enjoying daily! ### 5/5 — Really good game *2019-08-17, version 1.1* Love it. No IAP and awesome design and controls. ### 5/5 — Très bon ! *2019-08-16, version 1.1* Super platformer : bcp de niveaux, difficulté bien dosée, graphismes et musiques bien sympa. C’est sûrement mieux avec une manette, mais les contrôles tactiles sont pas mauvais. Je regrette pas mon achat 🤩 ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 2/5 — 買わない方いい *2020-12-17, version 1.2* 操作が難しいのに敵が壁抜け自動追加素早い当たり前難しいと理不尽違う ### 3/5 — Fun! Too difficult later on *2023-01-29, version 1.2* Super fun, but gets too difficult at genie boss. Needs an easy mode. ### 3/5 — Not for me *2020-03-21, version 1.2* Good music and aesthetics, unique concept. But I just don’t enjoy it. It’s purely an action game with no strategic decisions. Easy to know what to do, requires precision to execute. Also, the first boss fight is long and tedious. ### 3/5 — Okay but not a fan of the controls *2019-10-31, version 1.2* Not a bad game I’m just not a fan of the controls. I also feel like I should stop once I kill something instead of bouncing off... it just doesn’t feel right the way it is. Also, on the ‘rock’ boss level 1-5 I think, he bounced off to the right side of the screen, through the key/wall never to be seen again so I’m stuck having to redo the level. Not a huge deal but was annoying. If devs want to reply back I can send a video of it. ### 3/5 — Platformer?! Not so much *2019-08-18, version 1.1* The swipe mechanic makes controls inaccurate and takes away from the preciseness of a platforming game. Looks pretty, cool soundtrack but wish I could get my 2.99 back. ### 3/5 — Great game, but frustrating controls *2019-08-18, version 1.1* The graphics are great, the music is good, and the level design is charming and fun. Although, I find controlling the player extremely frustrating. Simply put it’s just not fun to be the player. I appreciate the simplicity the developer was going for with the controls, but I feel like a more precise alternative would have been more beneficial. Perhaps the developer could have implemented a seeking behavior where the player would fly directly to wherever the user’s finger is pressed down. Maybe having a virtual joystick instead could have worked too. Even just restricting the player into only being able to move in 8 directions could be better than the current implementation. The swiping mechanic is immensely inconsistent. This game is a breath of fresh air. I haven’t played a game this polished on the App Store in a while. I really want to like this game, but I just can’t with the current controls. All in all, I would still considering picking up this game just to support the developer and encourage them to make more games to this standard. Even with just frustrating controls, I’m still going to tough it through and beat the game. ### 4/5 — Good little game *2021-12-14, version 1.2* Controls are my only gripe. Not as precise as I’d like but still a fun game to play through. ### 4/5 — Mmmm *2019-08-25, version 1.1* Controls could be added with a joystick or something....swiping is not as responsive ### 4/5 — Great Game *2019-08-22, version 1.1* ..but PLEASE dev’s add controller support it would be a better for it. Plus then it could (and should) come to other platforms (I’ll DD. Analogue stick input and one button to stop that’s it. I’ve had so many false inputs with touch screen due to build up of my greasy fingerprints on screen due to playing this game so much!! Controller support (and cloud saves please) and I promise you 1 extra star :D ### 4/5 — Addictif ! *2019-08-16, version 1.1* Tout est dans le titre ! Un gameplay original aux petits oignons, une excellente ambiance et c’est fun à prendre en main. Des défis speed run, des combats de boss plutôt intéressants, des trésors cachés, bref, si Devolver a jeté son dévolu sur Witcheye, c’est qu’il en vaut la peine ! Je retire une étoile pour sa durée de vie assez faible. PS: Laissez tomber le haters qui met 1 étoile pour la "non optimisation" supposée, je suis sur IPhone XR et les deux bandes sur les côtés ne posent aucun problème. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — super cool *2025-02-25, version 1.2* great platformer game, check it out ### 5/5 — Good *2024-02-26, version 1.2* It’s a good game but the controls are a bit frustrating ### 5/5 — Отличная игра *2022-09-18, version 1.2* Не очень популярная, но покупайте, очень красивая игра с интересной механикой ### 5/5 — Au top ! *2021-03-29, version 1.2* Fan de jeux old school, ce jeu coche absolument toutes les cases qui font un bon jeu : graphismes irréprochables, difficulté bien dosée et progressive, contrôles originaux et bien réglés (pas de prise en charge de la manette, mais elle est un peu hors sujet pour ce gameplay), boss et ennemis attachants, musique qui rend hommage aux grands anciens et surtout...fun !!! Un des meilleurs de l’AppStore, définitivement. ### 5/5 — Super fun! *2020-09-03, version 1.2* Great control scheme. Outstanding idea for gameplay. Feels like a top tier, retro Sega/Nintendo game. Highly recommend it! ### 5/5 — Muy bueno *2020-06-13, version 1.2* Me parece un gran juego. El control es original y en un par de niveles lo tienes controlado. Gran variedad de enemigos, cada uno con un patrón de ataque distinto, enemigos finales, secretos, niveles variados... Totalmente recomendable, es muy divertido. ### 5/5 — 最高　必見 *2020-04-01, version 1.2* Perfect Cell と少し似てる仕組みですがオリジナルかつレトロ感あふれて、気軽に楽しめる上、十分深みもある。迷わず買ってください。 ### 5/5 — Witcheye *2020-01-24, version 1.2* While I agree with a few other people who have posted reviews in that this isn't really a platformer, it does have a lot of platformer mechanics. I also have no idea what other genre the developers (or publisher-whoever wrote the iTunes description) could have tied this game to. Arcade-like, platformer-influenced... flick.... .... game? =P Whatever you want to call it, it comes down to this:;: Witcheye is a very enjoyable game. You'll make your way through each stage controlling an eyeball by dragging a finger across the screen. 360 degree movement, and to stop all you need to do is tap anywhere. Very simple controls. To dispatch an enemy, you just need to bump into them. To destroy bricks, bump into them. To collect an item, run into it. There's 3 green diamonds and one blue (so, of course, 4 total) to collect in each stage, which you'll have to be kind of quick to grab as they pop up about a character's length and then fall downward and off the screen, so keeping on your toes is required if you want to collect everything. There's also leaderboards for each world you'll make your way through, one for not taking damage and one for how long it takes you to beat all of the stages in each of the worlds. Needless to say, this adds a bit of replay value to the game, which is always nice. The level designs are top notch, graphics are beautiful, the controls are tight and very responsive and the game is just flat out fun to play. If all of this sounds like something you might be interested in, I totally recommend you check this one out. $3 is a GREAT price for what's offered here. Thank you, devs!! =D ### 5/5 — whats up *2019-10-31, version 1.2* old scholl style platformer with fat flat soundtrack like it! ### 5/5 — Retro at its Best *2019-09-20, version 1.2* Smart, funny, addictive—this game is a throwback in the best possible way. I was loving it and then my four year old saw me playing and he loved it, too. Great music, too! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
