You might need to google the ending to truly make sense of its story, but once you do it adds to an otherwise deep and engaging experience. This 'experience' is made all the better by the fantastic score and frequently humorous/dark dialogue. Gameplay is generally fantastic, but there are some puzzles for which the iPhone controls do not feel perfectly tuned. There are a couple of jumps, for instance, which took me far too long to complete. This doesn't detract from the game in general, however, since the developers have added checkpoints in convenient places to account for this added difficulty.

.....the controls can be a little bit tricky - but this game oozes character. It reminds me of the games that used to grab my attention back in the day. It's dark, well designed and compelling. You will get used to the controls.

Loved this game on console. By the way, tou really gotta fix the screen orientation screwing up at random times. Happened during a boss battle and I died because I couldn’t see half the screen or buttons. Speaking of the buttons it would be nice to have some haptic feedback from our phone when the buttons are pressed so we can “feel” them without looking while we play the game

The control pad makes this game unplayable. Absolutely trash. Don’t waste 5 dollars.

Paid $5 for this game and I have to constantly restart it due to the d pad getting stuck in a direction causing me to die and have to restart the game from the last save I had, hoping it wasn’t too far ago. I can’t pass the final boss due to this issue, it has made me lose interest in the game.

I’ve basically binge played this game, which is saying something because I’m not a gamer. I’m really enjoying it! Maybe it’s because I’m playing on my phone so at times the controls are a bit hard or maybe it’s because I’m not much of a gamer, but there are a couple sections where I’m like “gahhh!” I can’t get past the 3 air vents towards the end. I like exploring all the dungeons and most of the time I feel the right amount of challenge. Well worth the time spent. I hope they make another game

As soon as i was getting into the game the game stop loading. I get a black screen and title screen can be heard. Would like an option the remove that awful white dot!

First off this game is great. The entire game feels like a long lost Gameboy Color game. The level design is perfect, and I got the soundtrack before I even finished the game. One minor complaint specific to the IOS version. This version adds a white dot that follows the main character around to assist in control, I believe it's logic is backwards. It's only supposed to appear when you have touch controls enabled, but it seems it's backwards. It's there on d-pad only and missing on touch-only.

This is by far my favorite game on ios. Controls are fine on my ipad, I assume the game wasn't made to be easy (and thank you for that). Great writing as well.

I bought this game because I watched a friend playing it and it was a lot of fun. He didn't seem to have much of an issue with the controls so I bought it. However, after three days of owning this game I can't progress any further because of the clunky controls. I have a 4S, while my friend has a 5C, so perhaps the screen size is part of the control problem. Either way, they need an overhaul. The buttons need to be larger and the D-pad needs to have a larger contact patch or it should be replaced with a something else entirely. That all being said, I very much want to play this game. It is witty, well-developed, and intriguing. I look forward to a future update that improves playability, because this game looks like a great amount of fun.
