Community Insight:
EDIT: Fixed! Thx, dev! :) Because of on release action button instead of on touch.
Favorite few minutes free game for several years, but the recent update really hinders your flip timing (you used to be able to hold your finger on the flip button and release at the exact moment you wanted to start/stop a flip, now it is on the touch itself rather than release). We understand it was made for responsiveness, but you get less accurate flips when pushing a button rather than releasing if your finger is already on! Hoping there can be some customization here to fit everyones playstyles.
Classic childhood favorite of ours, downloaded it recently to play on our downtime and it was exactly as we remembered it. Thanks a lot for making it.
Ive played the game for a very long time but we wish there was more tricks and new maps. But overall, its fun Oh cool glad to see backflip madness 2, Ill buy it when it comes out, congrats whoever you are. The original game was our childhood. :) still playing in 2024.
Ive been playing for several years on and off android and Apple and sometimes we would delete the game from boredom because we got tired of doing the same stuff from the same places. Overall love the game just asking if a big update could be done.
We remember when the game dropped! Still play every now and then simple, game simple mechanics, instant classic.
What happened to back flip madness 2 It looked cool and so exciting was looking forward to playing it but it never came out anyway love the first game.
Absolutely amazed how long this game has had support, 10 years is a long time. We appreciate you.
We cant find anything online that gives a hint. Its the only achievement we still have left.
Funny but almost impossible to play due to massive input lag.
Get more option covers up the play button. We paid $1 but now we cant play.
Ive been playing this game since it first came out and Im still loving it. Just now writing a review but honestly, this is our favorite game OF ALL TIME.
Any chance for some new levels soon.
Its such a simple yet such a fun game, Ive had it on every iphone Ive owned. Its so fun to go back and beat our high scores. Looking forward to backflip madness 2.
It is absolutely amazing to us that even after around 2 years of playing this game we are still overcoming new obstacles. This game is EXTREMELY difficult and at sometimes just downright annoying, but thats what always kept us coming back and playing again. The main campaign of this game has you backflipping in a unique control scheme that is unlike anything Ive ever seen before, and there are different unlockable poses that can help you with your backflip, or challenge you. With the added bonus of the ability to combo your positions together allows for what seems like infinite fun. We actually managed to discover how to do a double flip without needing any platforms to jump off of other than the ground with the awesome physics engine that this game has. Also, if youre not that into challenge, you can try out the free play mode that lets you experiment with any stage, without lives or basically any restrictions. You can even go into a secret MOON GRAVITY MODE if you tap the screen enough times! And this game basically never crashes, for us, at least, and Im using a super old iPad that we just keep updating. On the very small chance that anyone reads this, if you like video games at all, just get this game. It may seem difficult at first, but when you get the hang of it, you open up an entire universe of new possibilities and fun.
Ive played the game for a very long time but we wish there was more tricks and new maps. But overall, its fun.
Please add a full twist to the mix it would add so much more fun possibilities.
Make a backflip madness 2, that would be lit, also you should add back fulls (backflip 360) into the game somehow.
Please allow screen recordings on replays. When we hit an epic jump or landing Im like woah we wanna show that to our friends that play this game. But when we start the screen recording it takes the replay completely out. Its like it was never there. Just some minor issues with the replays but other than that overall great game 5/5.
We love this game, we downloaded it a year or two ago and fell in love, but once iOS 11 came out it wouldnt let us play because it wasnt supported, we were forced to delete the game. We went back to the game and found it now supported it, so we started playing it all the time, and we love playing gym on low gravity just messing around, Ive done crazy things like Ive made the soccer ball into the basketball hoop, or Ive landed crazy flips but we enjoy messing around so much, but we feel it would be so much better with a massive map with more interactive items, because Ive found gym is the best map to play on because of the soccer balls or the basketball hoops, but no other map has any interactive items, so if there was a big map full of interactive items people could mess around in low gravity and have so much fun. But the game is awesome and we recommend this app to everyone.
We love this game!! Its so addictive! Ive finished all the levels but its still a lot of fun!! We definitely recommend.
We have been waiting so long to get this back for iOS!!!! We played it in 2016 and we loved it! But it became out dated so we have been waiting for it to be updated but now its back!!! Thank you m8.
Backflip Madness is incredibly fun and Ive played it for years. Its a good balance of fun and challenging, but we would love to see the creative teams imagination applied to new levels and maybe even a Costume Selection, where costumes are unlocked based on XP or various tricks. We wouldnt change anything else, since the game has smooth mechanics, but it would add just a little more character to an overall great game.
The game really is quite fun. Our girlfriend and we spent a good amount of time working through the levels and trying to go for double+ flips but after a while it just get stale and for how long its been out we feel like they could add new areas or levels. So overall its very fun but wish they would add levels to it, especially since it is a paid game.
We hate this game so much because we could pass all the levels in the gym but once we got to the 4th level we couldnt pass it. It was like it was being slow on purpose so we couldnt win. So it just makes us so mad when that happens so Im giving it a 1 star rate,.
Our boi updated this for newer OS's, praise be.
Awesome but hope to see much updates adding abilities and locations.
Played on our iPod years ago great game.
Yes, Im so glad this game was updated. We may be three months late, but Im here. Five stars for an amazing game.
PLZ PLZ PLZ PLZZZZZ UPDATE FOR IOS 11 Update: this game is soooooo fun.
We love this game it is a very fun one and one of our favorites we like how there are no ads or in app purchases we passed all the levels so we wish they would add a few more like canyon 2 and like two others it is a little easy to us it would also be fun if they had more then 2 outfits and if you could change the character to a girl tat would be great and it would be cool if you could race against your friends thank you for making a great game and we would really appreciate it if you made those changes.
…and a great time-killer. Too great.
Finally compatible with iOS 11. We didnt delete the app in the hope an update would come. Thanks Devs.
Most free games surpass this quality.
Nope good now :). Thanks for the response.
THE LEGEND RETURNS THANK YOU!!! About to spend a very frustrating (in a good way) couple of hours trying to do back flips.

Update the compatibility to IOS 11.
Hello, can you update this game for iso 11. Thank you.
Great game especially with the moon gravity. Little quirks in the code allow us to do front flips. We love it.
Hi we play this game and it is awesome we give it a 5 star review you should too.
This was quite ridiculous Yet great, iOS 11 came around and changed everything to a 64 Bit System And This App Is Still A 32 Bit App, Which causes This App To Unfortunately Be Unplayable.
One of our favorite games but cant play anymore.
We just gotta say that we love this game :).
We love the game can you update it so it will work it our favorite game.
We hope they up date it so it works with iOS 11.
Can u please update to iOS 11 cuz we wanna play it but we cant cuz Im on iOS 11.
