I love the video graphics, music, sound effects, and gameplay. But developer(s), please update this video game so that it can support newer phones. I noticed that there's a lot of glitches, bugs, and bad crashes. Also, this is supposed to be an arcade game. So why don't you add something extra like a high score leaderboard just like those arcade games of the 1980s. Ah good ol' nostalgia. I am being honest. Please developer(s) update this video game so it can support newer phones. I will rate this five stars if you do. ### 4/5 — Ok *2019-02-03* It’s like Mario but there is some lag and bugs maybe because I’m on iOS 12.1.3 ### 5/5 — V fun *2018-03-26, version 1.1.2* V fun ### 5/5 — Pizza! *2017-12-27* I hope Pizza Hut would like this... ### 5/5 — Hate *2017-11-11* Best game ever ### 5/5 — very fun to pass time *2017-10-29* very fun ### 5/5 — Subtle masterpiece *2017-05-14* Can't believe this doesn't have more positive reviews. Once you get the controls gameplay is super intuitive and well-designed. The look and sound track our total authentic retro 80s and it's highly addictive. It also is like it's own great riff on Super Mario Jump (or is it the other way around ;) 👍🏼👍🏼 nice work game designers ### 5/5 — One of the best games ever *2016-09-30* Everyone who don't like it is just scared because when you buy the game and unlock the truth! And get the time and date of arrival and start worrying about this money situation..... The test had begun Get involved they might just spare your life...... ### 5/5 — Awesome *2016-08-21, version 1.1.2* Great game! ### 5/5 — Austin *2016-06-27* I love this game ### 5/5 — Well then *2015-11-21* I see this company still cares about their bestselling title then...... ### 5/5 — AWESOME *2015-07-15, version 1.1.13* I love this game! Nothing is better ### 5/5 — I'm enjoying it. :) *2015-05-29, version 1.1.13* World 1-1 is another modern smartphone platformer where you can only go one direction, and it seems like a good one. It's neat you can walk faster or slower. There's only the one stage you can play until you make a small IAP, but that's okay. ### 5/5 — Best game I've ever played!!! *2015-05-19, version 1.1.13* You should definitely get this game. Fun, addictive, cool music. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 ### 4/5 — Fun! *2015-04-27, version 1.1.13* Pizza and aliens? I'm sold. Cheap answer to Mario since I can't afford a DS or games right now lol ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Nasty *2023-09-21* Update this app. Heavy crashes. I’m a woman. ### 1/5 — This is sad *2017-05-30* This game is a rip off from sonic and super Mario bros. Bru!😐 ### 1/5 — Ummm...I can't even say it *2016-12-28* As you all know WORLD 1-1 looks like Mario, but when you get the game, it isn't as good as you thought it would be. Mine glitched out and now I'm unable to use the game. If anything, the owner of the app needs to update the game and fix the glitches. Ok, now I'm running iOS 10.0.2, and I got the game in 2012, I think they should have fixed it by now. ### 1/5 — …boring…😒😞 *2015-11-30* Do not download this game cos I'll show you the facts why!… 1. It's boring 2. I hate it when you start the same level over and over!…and the same music…Okay now the last one is……… …3. All of the music looks stupid in the game! Bye and don't forget….. …DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS GAME!!! ### 1/5 — worst game ever *2015-03-03, version 1.1.13* not like mario at ALL!!!!!!!!! ### 1/5 — Rip off *2015-01-01* By cool cat ### 1/5 — Scam purchases *2014-12-12* Beware!! Anything in this game requires an unknown purchase because once you finish the very first level, it asks for your apple password when you touch anything. It could be a ridiculous amount but you don't know as there is no price. Do NOT give in... This game is extremely boring, not fun and full of hidden purchases. ### 1/5 — Bad *2014-04-16* Bad mario rip-off. ### 2/5 — Glitch insanity *2019-01-11, version 1.1.2* Glitches on me and shows like it’s on the hell,used to be five stars,now it’s 2,FIX THE GLITCH ON MEH SCREEN ### 2/5 — Crashes all the time *2015-02-22, version 1.1.13* Great Game BUT crashes all the time!!! Which is so annoying!!! Needs to be fixed! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Gg *2025-08-03* Gg to everyone that has completed alien apocalypse mode! You’re the best. ### 5/5 — Awesome game *2024-02-13* This game is from an era when mobile games were good. Was it a Mario copy? Sure. But it took that concept and ran with it. The gameplay is fun, and the powerups are unique. Overall a great mobile game, and a great part of my childhood. ### 5/5 — Like pizza tower *2023-07-06* The game is actually kinda good, and like how much frustrating but has pizza tower vibes ### 5/5 — Played this when I was very little *2022-08-15* 10/10 for nostalgia ### 5/5 — World *2021-12-28* This was literally the best game I’ve ever played in my whole life no cap, it’s the best ### 5/5 — nostalgia *2021-02-19* remember played this when i was in 1st grade, so addicted. now 8 years later i remembered this game lol ### 5/5 — Why you reading this *2020-07-21* Idk I played it when I was 6 so it’s like cool ### 5/5 — Play it! *2020-07-08* Honestly really fun hope a console version comes out ### 5/5 — Amazing *2020-01-31* This is my favorite game ever!!!! ### 5/5 — Yep *2018-09-18* I give this game five stars --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
