App Store Editors’ Notes

Short but fun

Interesting and fun movement mechanics. Short game, but it’s free so no complaints. It does feel like a proof of concept which has a lot of potential to be expanded into a more complete experience. Some kind of first person Mario World kind of game would be fun where you collect Stars and unlock secrets in each world.

Room for improvement

I think this game is very fun and cute. I have never played a first person runner before so this is kind of fun. However, the game is basically you paying ransom. I personally don’t think you should just succumb to a villain. You should try to do something else so maybe add a version in which you try to defeat the dragon like having you jump on her head a few times also every character is female not trying to sound sexist, think there should be some male characters as well. I think it would be fun if we could defeat the enemies instead of just trying to avoid them I could have a lot of fun with that. I think this is a good start. I hope that you developers take my ideas into consideration.

Fun, but suggestions!

I love this game. I love how it’s first person too! But I have a suggestion. It’s a game with a small concept, and I’m wondering..what if we add a story mode? The game would be much funnier and when I just feel like playing a good old role playing game, I can play that!

Great concept, Perfect execution

This is really a great game that needs more attention, great controls and very colorful graphics. Would love to have more accessible leaderboard but that’s just a nit pick.

Needs more settings

This game is so much fun! However, I think there needs to be setting to increase the FOV so that it isn’t so zoomed in all the time. Also add more levels and let’s get this game to the top of the boards! Seriously, it has potential.

Super fun game!! Only 20 levels..!

This game is super fun and addicting but only 20 levels, thankfully there are daily rounds. You can also replay any level whenever and the daily ones(you can't redo one you did a day or more ago) overall reallyyyyyy fun game!! Pls add more levels :)

Game of the year

I love playing this game, but it is also hard to control and look and run that but still fun to play game

I’m playing the game it’s the best game ever made and you can play with friends
