Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
We love puzzle platformer type games and theyre so hard to find. This is a puzzle platformer and its making us happy. We see some reviews critical of how short it is. But we just started so we cant speak to that. All we can say is so far so good. We suppose our one complaint would be that when you die you should be able to start again where you last died and not have to go all the way back to the last platform and start again there. Thats the one thing we dont like so far. Other than that, thank you so much for a great/smart game. Im going with 5 stars. Especially since games like these are so hard to find.
This game is incredible! Full of danger and thrills. And you really have to use your head, and be light on your feet. And the plot is genius. And the best part, you dont need WiFi in order to play it. We HIGHLY recommend playing this game. If you are looking for a game with adventure, mystery, thrills, danger, a great plot, and where you need to be able to figure things out, GET THIS GAME.
Being a night owl this is right up our alley. Not a huge gamer. It passes the time with just enough smooth action and challenge and in dim light, not abusive to the senses. Perfect. Thanks to the makers for creating this. We love this little game.
Unique take on a simple style game that deserves a try by everyone.
Very good game. Really challenging. A bit frustrating at some points. But it s a blast.
So much darkness everywhere and watch where you step.
We love this game It gives us ideas we love it we could play all the time we support this.
We REALLY love this game!! We wish you would have an update where you added more levels and bosses, because we were so sad to find out that there were only five "levels" (if you can call them that) there is some reply value if you want to see how fast you can beat the game (speed runners, we're looking at you) but other than that not much. There was really nothing to use the light orbs we collected, (which btw, doesn't reset when you finish the game) like maybe introduce characters? And put more depth into the story… We really want to play more but there were areas that are just WAY too frustrating to come back to just because we want to play again :( we're undecided between 4 or 5 stars… Really hope you guys listen and add some updates soon!!!! :D.
The art is very dark but its a dark story so it suits it well. And the puzzles are super fun to solve.
In a word, this game "totally rocks",… Okay, that was two words. But this game is very addictive, challenging without being too hard and is simply fun to play.
Fun and difficult. Highly recommend this game.
Love the gameplay. Excellent game to pass time.
We just started it and it just sound fun. We have lots of fun playing this game and it's kinda fun.
We got the game put we haven't played it.
This is an amazing game. The controls are great, the graphics are amazing, and the mechanics are top notch.
Its a fun game. A little hard but we're still trying to beat it. Its worth downloading.
We Love This Game! Because It's Very Dark we Say It's A 5 Star Rate.
We would like so there where more monsters.
2 minutes into the game we realized that this game was going to be fun, it's very creative and we would recommend you download it.
This game is great! It's super fun and a nice way to relax. It's also challenging but not to the point where we could start flipping tables.
Its a really good game!! Cool graphics!! And entertaining.
Awesome adventure and puzzle game! :).
We've really enjoyed playing this. It's fun to play and the controls work well. We love the art design and the puzzles and obstacles while not easy have not been overly frustrating. Recommended.
Well thought out adventure game! We'll be playing this for a while. It's a keeper.
Played games like this before, but Darkness Dash is one of the best. So complicated fun! Hahha if there is such a thing.
Playing this game just made our day.
Really good job on this one. We're loving this game! Super addicting.
It was really interesting to try this out!!! But, maybe a little more detailed directions.
Great game and would definitely recommend to anyone BUT needs updating and a use for the orbs. We were sad there wasnt more levels.
Love the game but…it keeps starting us back to the beginning…no matter how far we've gone…little upset.
We've been playing for a little bit and it's a fun game but the art is kind of ripped off of limbo. Also the controls make the gameplay a little awkward, but all in all we'd give it a 4/5.
Game looks great but just starting to play the moving and jumping is a bit odd.
Be better if you had a life bar not die after the 1hit.
A nice game with a great potential.
Really liked the game..beautiful, dark graphics..pretty hard levels..but as soon as we downloaded it, we beat it! Way too short.
We like the game. We really do. But there are so many adds. The game asked us to write a review and an add popped up before we could click to rate it. Every time you die theres another add. We get it. Its a free game so adds are the only way to pull in revenue, but does there have to be so many? The controls arent that awkward, so we would rate it higher if there were less adds. Oh wait never mind. When we returned to the app it asked us to pay to remove adds. So this is one of those games that pesters you until you pay to remove adds? Okay then.
Good because it is a great game and a lot of fun and deadly obstacles.but it has to much adds and videos.we would make it 3 stars.so if it had less adds l would make it 5 stars.
We really like this game, don't get us wrong. But despite the frustrating obstacles and the cool art, WHY IS THERE NO AUTOSAVE? (Not talking about the in-game respawning platforms here) Just a few minutes ago we turned on the game and all our progress was gone! What the heck?! Plz fix.
We played on for a while just because it had good reviews so we wanted to give it a chance, but we really wasnt engaged. Some people like the controls but not us. They get a little easier after a while, but definitely a poor choice on their part. And they make difficult sections all the more frustrating. No real story line. No idea what the orbs are for… Overall, would not recommend, sorry.
More often than not, the "Jump" control was unresponsive. Honestly, we're disappointed.
We were so stoked to try this game until we tryed running it and it loads too 100 and the screen goes completely dark and all we can here is the music, we ve tried everything to try to fix this but nothing works, kind of ironic.
The app starts loading gets up to 90% and crashes. Please fix. We have latest iPad mini 6th gen.
It doesnt let us even play every time it goes to 96/ it takes us out the game.
When we left the game to go to bed in the morning it reset all our progress when we had three out of the five orbs.
You must sit through a thirty second ad before the game even starts. Im not supporting this type of game. This is way too much.
We played this game when we were 6-7 cause thats when it came out but we deleted it the next day we got it because it was boarding In our opinion.
There is a part we are stuck on that is impossible so it is rigged we give it a.
Don't waste your time on this shameless cash-grab.
