I played this game so much that I have every level beaten. Please make more levels ^^

An excellent app that could be so much better

This is one of my go-to games on my phone, as it's excellent gameplay, unique music, and addictive nature really makes it a long-time favorite. However, I feel like there's room for more levels. The lack of any real replay value once you beat all of the levels is a bit disappointing, but besides that, an excellent app that is great, but could be so much better. 8/10

Great

Excellent game

Bought this game years ago and still play it. Also I tend to pass it to youngsters and challenge them with the levels. It’s really an excellent game and worth every penny.

Amazing game

This is the best game in the App Store. Its simpleness and difficulty brings hours of joy. It is certainly an amazing game.

Incredible
     
by MrSamwiseGamgee · June 3, 2015

This is definitely the best runner game on the App Store. It provides a challenge unlike any other, and keeps you entertained better than other runners. It simply doesn't get boring. It is not filled with adds, in app purchases or coins, which gives the whole gave a smooth, polished feel. Again, the best running game existing, get it.

Not worth it
     
by Perryme1 · February 18, 2018

While this game may seem cool at first, that's really all it has going for it. As you sink your teeth into the later levels, it relies on tactics to make the game more difficult that end up being very frustrating instead of fun. For example, one of the levels changes the texture of the platforms so you can barley differentiate one from the other, that being the main difficult part of the level.
