App Store Editors’ Notes

This game is 5 stars, even the bad reviews praise this game

I’m honestly a bit taken aback that this game has some reviews under 5 stars. I read through them all and they are all complaining about such small and stupid things that are not game related, even in the slightest. Even though those reviewers give 3 stars and under for this game, make no mistake, they all rave about the story, the controls, and the look and feel of the game. Their complaints are not warranted because their own experiences with Madness/Endless are great and the complaints are about controller support and their own dislike on the style of the game, which is personal choice, not game related. One 3 star review even said that he will still continue to play the game… WHAT? What kind of person will continue play a game that they gave 3 stars, a game that they have issues with?… unless you do like the game but you are just a jerk.

Phenomenal Game! Must play!

Just beat it! What a game. What a final battle. This game is so very polished. So creative. So perfectly, exactly balanced to be the right level of infuriatingly difficult to make the win rewarding. One reviewer said they were never frustrated. I was, for sure; but not at all in a negative way. It's the same frustration one might get from challenging Mario levels. It's a great challenge to overcome. Like another player, I'm not too into the horror aspect; but this one's done well. It seems all the world has turned to madness in a post-apocalyptic wasteland full of monsters. It's done exceptionally and REALLY works with the concept. I would play this over and over. It's very well worth the experience.

Brilliant game

I found this game through Reddit, and was pleasantly surprised. The premise of the game is simple: bust up nightmarish creatures by flinging your character from one wall to another. Avoid the red areas where the creatures are looking, or you will be driven mad. You can pause your character mid-flight and change direction, which makes for some really awesome combos! The game mechanics feel smooth as butter, and the dark world which serves as the setting seems so far unique and well-crafted. The difficulty is (again, so far) challenging enough to be appealing but never frustrating. If you’re looking for something fresh, I highly recommend this game!

Great

There is no reason this game shouldn’t have almost all 5 star reviews like it does now the gameplay is very simple while still having a great story and it has many different monsters with different abilities to keep the game entertaining there is also a endless mode which you can play after you finish the story

Very impressive and a lot of care taken for controls

It’s hard to find a game these days that isn’t overloaded with IAP hooks or other surprises. This game plays perfectly on a phone, it was clearly designed for a touch screen and to be precise and fun. Still playing through the story but I love it so far!

Dandara combat without the Metroidvania

I have to say, I’ve never been a fan of the Rob Zombie’sh brutal, dark, eternal suffering and pain aesthetic….I know there’s a certain kind of person who’s into that, but it has never been for me. If you enjoyed the combat in Dandara, but not the metroidvania aspects…this is the perfect game for you. I’m not head over heels for it but I’m still playing and enjoying it. It does feel like a quality experience. I’ll update if I change my opinion.

i rarely write reviews

Update- how do kill those spinning wheel things consistently? I can’t figure it out. this game is fun. so rare to find a game these that you just pay once and that's it. no subscription or in app purchases. worth every penny.

Great. But.

I love this. I wouldn’t mind a little customization. Like earning blade colors or something. And I need a save option. Maybe there is one, but if I delete the game I want to be able to save the data so I don’t do it all over again. There might be an option for that. But I haven’t found it. Great game, a tiny bit repetitive but the bosses are so much fun.

Sometimes a game comes along that feels so purely built for mobile, and its controls and mechanics come together so well on the touchscreen,...
