## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Could be fun…

*2024-01-18, version 2.2*

But its basically just watching ads , hardly any time playing

### 1/5 — Too many ads from the outset

*2023-09-17, version 2.2*

Nice idea, though having loaded it up for the first time and quickly losing a life I had to wait through a video ad before getting another go.

Whilst I acknowledge the developer has to make a living, I would suggest holding off on the video ads for at least a few games to let the player under stand the dynamic and controls. 

Or better still, offer a paid version.

### 2/5 — Sigh... there's a game in here somewhere

*2016-06-05, version 1.0.1*

There's a game in here somewhere but it's so riddled with adverts and pop-ups it renders it totally unplayable. I know you can remove these annoyances if you pay; however, the effect of the constant interruptions leaves a really negative memory of the experience. I'm a huge retro fan, but whatever advertising model has wrapped itself around this game has, unfortunately, killed it too.

### 3/5 — Not the best, but not that bad either

*2025-02-20, version 2.2*

I won’t lie, this game does love giving ads, but it’s actually really fun, if a little frustrating. The controls are a little confusing, but once you figure them out the game isn’t that bad!

### 3/5 — Fun but buggy

*2017-11-10*

This game is addictive! The only con is that it periodically resets my phone. I’m running a brand new iPhone 7. If I forget to close the game, my phone will randomly reset.

### 4/5 — Interesting puzzles

*2019-11-03, version 1.5*

This wasn’t quite the game I was hoping for, but I did rather enjoy it. Think Nifty Lifty meets Manic Miner. Once I understood the single-touch mechanic, it became an I tersting and challenging puzzle. 
 It’s free, and the ads are unobtrusive. I would have happily paid 99p for this.

### 5/5 — Perfect

*2022-10-01*

Well done. This is a pleasure to play.

### 5/5 — zX house Zattak

*2020-12-17*

Fun Arcadic Game,Fast n’ Fun

### 5/5 — OMG

*2020-11-20, version 1.9*

At first I thought: “this game isn’t Manic Miner! I’ll give it one play then off it goes”. All it took was one game and I’m hooked. A lo fi ode to Manic Miner, annoying, infuriating, stupid. Love it.

### 5/5 — Skymer

*2018-01-23, version 1.4.1*

A really great little puzzle game,thoroughly enjoyed this one.I would certainly pay for more levels.

### 5/5 — Nicely done

*2018-01-14*

This captures the essence of the Spectrum Manic Miner / JSW games in a one-touch interface very nicely.

I paid the money and I have now completed all the levels. It’s a really enjoyable game, cleverly combining puzzle elements with the timing of classical platform games. Brilliant! More levels please.

### 5/5 — Great game!

*2015-08-25*

Simplicity meets depths in this amazing retro styled puzzle platformer. Definitely recommend!

### 5/5 — Make more levels!!!

*2015-08-25*

Five starz my favorite 8-bit retro game ever!! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 👍👍👍👍👍

### 5/5 — Another great game from these devs

*2015-08-05*

Reminds me of auto mania, but it has its own twist largely due to the one finger control. Timing must be spot on, and that is what makes it fun. Got my 5  stars

### 5/5 — One touch

*2015-07-27*

First time I've seen a one touch platformer. Love it!

### 5/5 — Brilliant retro fun!

*2015-07-25, version 1.0*

Probably one of the easiest games you'll ever play - at first. Then the screens become increasing fiendish and you find you're having 'just one more go'. Very nicely implemented classic Sinclair Spectrum graphics and sound but subtlety updated. Very, very nice and very, very addictive.
