Just like the old one we miss so much you brought it back with this yaaaaay we play for hours did the creators of little big planet make this ok we love bye.
NO ADS and EXTREMELY SMOOTH !!! Please Update More Often and Be the Future Runner for all the 100s of millions of future KIDS and Adults to cling too because apple STILL has you advertised under its favorite runners.
We dont know what other people are talking about this game is awesome as like getting your first iPhone were getting a new MacBook Pro. Or getting some new EarPods and Sackboy is the best PlayStation character.
Love this quality is perfection.
We LOVE IT SO MUCH ITS MY FAVORITE THING ON THE WORLD.
You guys need to keep making these W games.
Im begging for a new game we miss lbp so much it was our childhood.
This is the best mobile game we ever played and we love this game. It is a great addition to all the other Sackboy games.
How do we claim the reward on the tutorial.
This game is the best its a race Its So fun that u can upgrade we think DOWNLOAD ITS A RETURN OF SACKBOY.
While we love the concept of the game, we would love if multiplayer was an option! It gets boring after a while, but the game was enjoyable. However, it would be a lot more enjoyable if playing with friends was an option.
At season 28 there was a season.Now it says season 0.
We love this game we deleted it a few months ago though. This game is really good, it just really has a few problems. Sometimes when we're out of the avatar editor, the loading screen freezes. We really don't like this issue and it needs to be fixed. Thank you.
Fun game, no ads but we keep getting a glitch where it thinks your doing a new save game kind of annoying thats all.
Plz add 3,000 gem IAP option for 50,000 coin upgrade. Plz fix not getting 1st place even if* all the available upgrades are purchased + perfect run with maximum possible bubbles collected. Plz add gem for extended time back. Plz fix [Setting Icon] -> Sign in with Google. Says: (Title;) Access blocked: Ultimate Sackboy has not completed the Google verification process. Error 403: access_denied.
Im a huge LBP fan and we love this /sub surfers twist on it. Hope to see more improvements to this game. :).
On its own, its not necessarily a bad game but this just feels like another subway surfers reskin. At least with the run sackboy run it stood out more. We dont know why they would take the game off the app store.
So we just got this app but Im on a tutorial and its telling us to click rewards so we did like any other person duh and we clicked it and its still telling us to click it please fix this :(.
This is our last hope of playing LBP, please save this game.
This game is cute but good lord the number of ads for everything is absurd. There has to be a better balance here.
The bags are good for getting stuff for your sack person but why dose it take so long to get them and why is so hard to get the ultimate bag we had this game for 10months and we still havent gotten it (The time on the bags) Classic bag Winners bag Champions bag Ultimate bag.
The graphics are gorgeous but the game feels heavy and slow because of how packed and messy it all looks which is little big planet understandable but dang it needs more simplicity and also there's only 2 powerups a protection bubble and magnet, it kinda gets repetetive which is normal for a endless runner but this one gets there much faster. There's a gazilion outfits that you wont use that you need to upgrade each individual part? Lol that was a weird feature, we'd rather upgrade powerups.
Wont let us play after the trial. Deleted and reuploaded, same thing.
Its a good game. It reminds us of running games. We love the graphics. It definitely takes us back to where we were playing Sackboy on our PS3 when it came out and how much we loved it. Used to play the game into the next day. The reason why it got two stars is because theres not much originality and when we watch ads to win free items or more time, the ad never seems to play all the way through. Or it would play and freeze. Both options leads to us NOT getting our free item or bonus time. When the ad doesnt play all the way through, the game shuts down then we have to reopen it. When the ad freezes once it is done, we have to close the game out and enter it again for the game to work. We ultimately ended deleting the game from our phone. But we suggest it to anyone who wants to try it.
Very frustrating that we watch whole ads but never receive anything for doing so. We ad wont let us use the X to exit. Every time it happens we have to exit game and reopen with no reward. Probably going to delete due to this.
The last couple of months or so, anytime we click an add to continue a run where Ive crashed has frozen. So, obviously we dont get to continue from where we crashed. Not sure who would be responsible for this but, it has to start somewhere. Also, we have spent some cheddar on these mobile and PS games. We think there is a lot that could be improved. Just our opinion.
Please add Apple Game Center Support like achievements and leaderboards.
We loved little big planet our whole life and we love this game aswell, its extremely fun yet our progress keeps resetting for no reason and its making the game unplayable.
Now we dont know if its just us but their seems to be no reason to do the daily duel if the reward you get is the same for each costume is the same, for example why is the daily dual for the vex costume always giving us the lightning trail when we already got it from the tier rewards like atleast make it so we can get the other items too, if we cant then the daily dual is not even worth playing.
Great simple game but needs an update bc ads keep freezing it. Made it unplayable. Otherwise a 4.
We think having endless mode made it so much better but its not quite there yet, the endless mode offers little to no progression when it comes to leveling up your account or getting new costume pieces to use a majority of that still comes from the timed races, this game also has paid battle passes yet you cannot backup your account so if u delete this game after spending money u just lose all progress and have to restart from ground 0. The endless mode also feels tacked onto the game as you dont even progress through different scenarys of the different unlockable arenas its just the same area on repeat. DO NOT BUY ANYTHING IN THIS GAME ITS NOT WORTH YOUR TIME.
This game looks like it could be fun, but we dont like playing with music turned up in game and this game forces you to do the scripted into for longer than our patience lasted before maybe theyll let you access the settings.
Is fun tho unable to uninstall for not having a log In account and afraid to loose all our stuff including the stuff we would like to buy in the future. So be more fun if it connects to apple Game Center and save the game process without being afraid to loose all the time consuming and then start over from scratch.
Im a huge fan of LBP and really enjoyed this game. Its certainly not the best Ive played, but it wasnt necessarily bad. We recently finished LBP3. We honestly think you should add more Villain skins or game modes. Id LOVE to see a Newton skin and LBP3 references/gamemodes.
We love how Sackboy sounds and we love how the game was made this game is SO fun you should try it.
We love the og little big planet!! We have all the discs. So fun to be able to have a part of that world on our phone.
This game is good and all its fun but at a certain point it just doesnt seem possible to actually progress. It doesnt help that you lose trophies every time you lose so it just becomes even harder to progress.The daily duels are also impossible. It also is difficult to get any new costume items because at a certain point the game just keeps giving you duplicates and you still cant progress. Honestly this game could be amazing but it definitely needs work. Also what with the 45 seconds, we feel like it should be longer than that its not that fun if you only run 45 seconds. So we hope you guys update this hopefully.
As much as we enjoy the game and its beautiful graphics, like others have complained, you get to a point where you just cant win daily challenges. Youre expected to win 2 to 3 games in a row but you are matched up against a score that is just impossible to beat. We see responses from the developer that say changes have been made to address this, but it is just a canned response. They are not actually reading the concerns or addressing them. On top of that, this new season went from giving great number of coins and gems in higher tiers, like upwards of 5000 coins and 50 gems for the paid tier, to this season maxing out at 1000 coins and 10 gems. You are expected to increase your level but it gets to a point where you realistically cant upgrade items and without those major coin bonuses youll necker get to a point where you can raise your level. The other part that makes no sense is that you get less leveling up points the more expensive the upgrade. You can upgrade an item for 1000 coins and get 10 points or 2000 coins and get 15. You should get more points the more you spend on an upgrade! Again, we want to like the game and its a fun diversion when needing a quick mindless break, but without ability to really advance after a certain point it gets frustrating and irritating.
This game is REALLY addicting and fun all the things that you cant buy makes you feel like youre lower class. Then for the bag slots, there needs to be more cause we cant say how many times we got a Champions Bag but our elite were full! Anyway, thats all we have to say.
They only have 4 races in total in order to win you must spend a lot which is not healthy, you spend for more time in order to beat others and they steal extra gems 5 bucks for 450 gems and each 10 seconds extra is equivalent to 40 or 80 gems in order to be possibly randomly chosen to second place. In order to get matching outfits you gotta spend or if you loose they take 7 points pushing you wayyyy back and even regardless if you won ! This game is so rigged to take more than they give tbh. Im saddened by the greed in this game after a while you begin to feel like an addictive gambler playing this game . Its crazy and aside from the names of these races are totally inappropriate. Lastly to get the special stage /whole costume you gotta spend almost 5 dollars worth to match another person who probably is spending too and beat their spending amount. Thats pretty messed up to us . Honestly to us this game is not a fair win ,its not fair at all honestly.
This is a really nice mobile gamealthough it has its issues it good. Its like if Sackboy a big adventure got combined with subway surfers. Doesnt deserve 3 stars at least 4.
This game has no ads and its not infinite but as a grain of rice its hard for us to play but its fun by: rice.
We love this game so much brings back memories!! 5/5.
Wish there was an easier way to win costumes and earn rewards faster and have an increased run instead of or in addition to the 40 seconds.
We think the game is fun with it being fast pace quick runs makes when you dont always got time to get quick sessions in, but would love a endless mode for just grinding and would always love if we could upgrade the magnet and shield abilities.
We actually love LittleBigPlanet and played toooons of the original Run Sackboy Run! (RSBR) Even got the shirt for that game in the actual LittleBigPlanet. But anyways, unfortunately we cant even play this game, we would attach an image if we could but Ill just explain. So basically we just started this app, and we like it a lot. Reminds us of another app.. And so Im still in the tutorial. Whilst on the app we noticed a battle pass and was looking through it. A little bit later we go out with our brother, closing the app. It had been some time since Ive played the app, so we decided to go back on it, and it shows us the battle pass had ended. We thought Oh, well, okay. Unfortunately we missed out on some cool stuff but its fine. And then go to close the notification. But unfortunately we cant because behind it, it wants us to click on something in the top-left corner. We go to click on that and to hopefully skip the battle pass notification, but it wont work either. So here we are, still confused on how to play because we cant close either notifications. Ive tried closing the app, Ive tried to quickly close them after opening the game, nothing. We havent tried to delete the game and redownload it. We might try that after this review, but our point is; we shouldnt have to do all of that to play this. We like the game. But its a shame we cannot play it.
This game is fun to play, but the progression system needs a ton of work. 1.) The daily run is nearly impossible without the use of gems (we know that they design it this way to sell gems). The daily run should be changed to unlocking after 3 podium finishes in a row –> and then stay unlocked for the remainder of the day until beaten. 2.) The free progression system punishes you if you do not get top 3 (bronze = 5, silver = 15, Gold = 30). When you do not get top three you lose your progress in your current tier, and although you do not get demoted a tier you do lose the rank progress that you are currently working though (we were in tier 10, but every loss resulted in -10 trophies, making it impossible to progress). This is not an online ranked mode in a mainstream multiplayer game, knock it if with losing rank. 3.) The disparity between our rank and our competitors rank is way too high. We should be playing other players at MY STAR LEVEL, not someone who has 300 or 400 more stars than us. That is absurd, we shouldn't have to play for 1+ hours to get consistent wins in a mobile game (this ties into our second point). 4.) The season pass system works pretty well, although we do fee that we could do without the "win 210 trophies" or "win 3 in a row". These challenges should be fun and engaging, not frustrating. These four points are why we just deleted the game from our phone. We found it enjoyable until we reached the 1,200 star level area… Now it is just an unfair and frustrating game that bastardizes what makes the Little Big Planet series so special. Fix those four issues above, and we will be back in a heartbeat. Just a side note – The micro transactions are priced appropriately in our opinion. The inly thing we purchased was $1 worth of gems and the Season 1 battle pass.
While its wished another Run Sackboy Run-like was released, being more akin to LittleBigPlanet, we personally love endless runners as long as theres progress to be done, it looks nice, and plays well. While you could argue it has all of those, the progress is whats lacking. No missions, just one game type and it isnt even endless; 30 seconds and youre done. And the MTX are terrible as if you dont want to waste any of your bags (or spend copious amount of money on gems,) youll be playing very sparingly throughout the day as you can only open one bag at a time, even with the season pass. Best bet you get a bag that takes 90 minutes to open; where we are right now in the game, the most Ive seen is 6 hours. So if we stay up for a full day and fill up on four 6 hour bags, and we get first place in every game, youll be playing for only 3 and half minutes in A DAY to open all of your bags (while earning one once you open another.).
Stuck on splash screen and cant enter the game.
We really love the overall look of this game! The environments and costumes keep you engaged and sometimes you only have time for 45 second races but we do suggest adding an endless option for those who want to run longer. Our other suggestion would be to add an actual store where we can easily choose how many jewels we want to buy or how much gold to swap for. Could have the option to unlock full costumes or buy different level bags as well.
