I like the idea and 8 bit aspect. It reminds me of the old mega man games is relation to the difficulty and level selection. This is one of those games that you could tell not some huge company made but a small team who is passionate about what they do. I applaud that. The reason for 4 stars and not 5 is that the touch collisions for the d-pad make it difficult to play and suceed. If those were a tad more polished this would an even better game. Bravo though, keep doing what you're doing :)
This is a throwback to the original game boy era and I'm loving it. Controls (grappling hook) takes a minute to get used to, but that's cool. Awesome classic game boy soundtrack too XD
Slightly choppy but was very fun. An absolute gem to find on the store. Well done man.
Interesting concept, but virtual controls are nearly useless and made worse by staggering the jump and grapple buttons.
I like it. Seems like a great game, but I play my games with a PS3 controller, and everything works except Im on 4.3, Note 3 SM-N900T ...............I'm not rooted, and you have to be rooted to use Sixaxis. It will void my warranty to root. Besides, I don't need Sixaxis because it works fine when I plug it into my phone. It works perfectly for rom emulators. Actually, I can plug in any USB controller, map the buttons, and all is good.
This is the perfect Indie game for mobile devices. The only improvements I can think of is add an ending and intro. Overall, I hope a sequel is made.
Reminds me very match of my favorite new classic
Please add controller support and it force closes after every level.... :(
reminds me of gameboy
I DON'T FREAKING KNOW HOW TO PLAY THIS STUPID GAME IM PUSHING THE BUTTONS ON THE GAME THEIR SLIPPING OFF THE GAME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!,
Everything works except jump button. Dev: Fix and i will not only rerate but i will submit your game to "gamepad games" which has over 50000 downloads and 12000 veiws a week.
The game crashes on start-up on optimus X2.
The controls seem tight enough, but sometimes the grapple doesn't seem to activate when I press the button. Oh, and it weirdly quits after I completed the first level, liked it so far though.
Joystick should be used rather than game pad ..overall nice 8 bit game built by developer...and yes would love to see your next project.
The controls are barely functional and there is pronounced input delay.
Constantly crashed at tutorial end. After 8 attempts, uninstalled
This game was obviously meant for PC (Tutorial says push arrow keys, Ctrl, etc.) It's fun, but I just can't deal with the random aiming of the grapple.
Things are a bit small but I like the feeling.
Fun, albeit very difficult. I'm afraid of crushing my screen when playing. The unlimited lives is a nice touch considering this game is almost impossible to beat. The soundtrack is awesome. It definitely has a retro Capcom on the Gameboy feel. I would love to play this with a classic Nintendo controller. If this were released as a homebrew for NES, I would be all over it.
