Community Insight:
Its like Crossy road but in the mountains kinda like it could be called Crossy road mountains.
This game is fun! Like traversing a frozen tundra, Id probably be as equally successful.
We have played this for a little while now and we love everything about it! Ive been looking for another game and we tried out a bunch but they werent right. Its really fun trying to avoid the obstacles and collecting coins. So far Ive unlocked the police, robber, cat and dog, and firefighters. The characters are super cute and we like that you added a challenge mode. This is our go to game and we recommend it. (sorry if our review is unorganized) Thanks to everyone who helped make this game.
Hi, we cant press Jackpot. Just wanted to let you know. Great game though.
We lovvvvve this game but sometimes it gets us frustrated.
Frustrating and annoying. Takes way too long to complete a single level. We LOVE IT.
So this is what the ice climbers were doing in smash 4.
We love this game it is awesome and the best part is no ads we never get ads we would say it is almost like a board game but over all this game is awesome.
We have not many problems with this game. It is super fun, and there are no ads. It is good to pass time.
It was fun an all but it was just to much of a rage You can have fun a lot we give it a 9/10.
Overall we really love this game. Its challenging fun and nerve wracking. Our only complaint is please dont make you slip when you go on the tilted blocks. Its almost impossible to jump on that cause it makes you fall into the obyss. But overall amazing game.
We really like this game because it is hard but one you play for some time it partially gets easier but overall awesome.
Stop the 20 fricken ads per second #ad.
Great its the best game that Ive ever had.
Its basically The ice climbers Up special in smash but it goes forward. Not bad though.
We love this game but its a little challenging. (Thats good, we all need our brain challenged!!) we highly recommend this game if you need a fun thing to do. Its also almost no adds and really free!! (The only thing you need to pay for is extra characters but we are perfectly satisfied with the ones they gave us.) Very good! 4 stars.
Features like the jackpot button DONT work but the game is fun.
Ive made it to the 5th level on cat climbers and level 2 on he Christmas we cant beat either of those the platforms are too thin the slippery thing is the most annoying tho.
We cant click jackpot or the mystery box plz fix this.
Put the monkeys from monkey ropes in here NOW.
Its fun you can get pretty far but the game modes are hard you only have one chance because if one of charterer falls its game Over and you have to have mad skills to jump to the skinniest tower and you have to jump fastest you can or the other one will just fall its a fun game but when you get far in the modes it gets really difficult so we would put the difficulty down a tad. What we really like about its not to easy and it does not tell you watch aN aDd To ReViVe or just GIVE UP. And the Christmas on 5 there is the is the slimmest jump do if you jump on it you fall through. And you know when you fly though the air if none of your characters are on the ground it will assume that theres a glitch. And if a character gets stuck it just pulls you into death.
This game has been very good we have played it for 1 day now we know now that much time but it is a very good game we are not going to say everything we think about the game right now just some things that dont seem right our friend told us al about this game she got it was this game thats why we got it so we played it and she said she has had the game for a long time and she said this the game modes can be better she has played this game for 2 months and she can not get past one of them she says she hates that it is way to Hurd and we think it is we have been playing the game for one f dad at so we cant really say anything and she just got past the cat one and she plays it like all day everything day it is a good game just not that good we dont really know how we feel about the game yet but we are thinking and our friend wanted us to say this because her mom dose not let her write a review so we are doing it for her and She thinks that the is not the best but it is ok.
We love this game but way too many ads. We just hate it when ads pop up. So many ads. Please no more ads. Dont get us wrong but we love this game but if you download it youre gonnaExperience a lA lo A lot of ads.
We love the the game. But when you purchase remove ads, it doesnt remove the ads at the bottom of the screen which is bogus.
Good way to pass the time. The ads can be annoying sometimes though.
We LOVE YOUR GAME!!! But one thing: we saw in characters we could get epic characters for free just by download app we downloaded ghost pop and played a little btw its really fun but when we got back to Icy Ropes it would not give us the characters. Im a 7 year old and wish that it would not lie to us. Otherwise, AWESOME.
Its a great game but why is there a snake in the cold? It makes no sense also we thing it would be cool if you could change the glaciers to sand and have the background the ocean and some other ones as unlockables.
It was a fun game to play to pass time but is sometimes really glitchy when we first start playing. We also feel like the developers need to add more features like special abilities each skin has. Ex. The Penguin skin cant slip on ice Or unlocking new backgrounds like a beach or lava pit.
Idk why we dont like it but kinda boring tbh. We like glixxy.
The main characters are just the ice climbers.
Honestly was one of our favorite games and then the update came in and made it so hard that it wasnt even fun anymore. We were going from 5000m to barely getting last 1000m. We miss the old version and only having the bonus levels as the challenging mode so it could feel like you could succeed.
Characters explode right after they fall no chance to save them Christmas level 1 to hard.
This STUPID game doesnt even have a tutorial! We swear to Jesus fricking Christ we cant jump from one ledge to the other! Why can you stretch the rope when you jump, but when you fall it pulls us in! Explain! Its like Arkansas, and Kansas. It should be are-Kansas not arkansaw! Plus if you want to call it that make the spelling logically correct! We give this a two star.
We think that it is very annoying because you cant see if their is going to be the ice spikes until u get close so then we keep dieing because of it so we will possibly get rid of the game from our phone.
The software and engineering in the game itself is very well designed. Its easy to understand and has a very simple concept. The game, however, is not enjoyable. From what Ive heard from other reviews theyve experienced way too many advertisements that dont make the game pleasurable. Personally we find the game hard. Like most games, when we first download them they are a little tricky. Once we play after a few minutes, however, we get the hang of it. Not in this game. We understand the concept of this and Im pretty decent at it, we can get to around 1400 which we guess is okay. We cant get past it, though. It isnt necessarily the length that we can pass through but the endurance we have to put our mind through to make it at all. Its stressful and difficult, and very frustrating. We have games like Crossy Road that are similar to this. Similar concept, similar challenges, however it is much easier. We are not sure what about this game makes it so challenging, but for us, and for other people looking to have fun from a game, we do not recommend this game.
We keep playing but every time we get super far we lags for like 2 seconds then Im back at the start and it gets annoying and to much advertisement.beside that its great.
8 seconds of gameplay, 30 seconds of ads.
We kinda dislike this app this game its fun but not so easy. BUT ALSO, there is soooooo many adds idek what to say theres so much.
Very hard game and there are too many ads to really progress.
The game is fun, but it has way to many adds to be playable.
We keep dieing when we dont hit a spike but than the other guy jumps and moves the rope so the other other guy dies.
So, Ive been playing this game for over two years now. And we are working on the cat ice climbers challenge. And its sooooo hard that we cant get past the eighth challenge. And the controls on it are poor. Soo, say Im jumping and we let go. It doesnt just land, no no no. IT KEEPS GOING. Another problem with this app is that the platforms get WAYYYYY to skinny. Witch is really hard for the people who just started playing(because they start with the first characters witch are quite skinny). But the real reason we wanted to write this review was because Ive been on challenge 8 for at least 2 years. That says something about this. We really hope the producers of this game read this.
We feel that this game was much more poorly made compared to Monkey routes. Every time you try to tap it seem less accurate. We dont feel that this game is near comparable to the other game.
Incredibly basic sort of game that looks to throw you for a loop for different styles. Lacks complexity and is mostly a bad ice climbers rip off.
We got the game and it was good at first. Then we decided to delete it. So we looked for it…AND IT WAS NO WHERE! We looked all over our phone but couldnt see it. Our Siri and App Store said we had it, but where the flip is it?!?!?! Im stuck with a game we dont want, and dont know how to fix it! HELLLPPPPP.
Its just so boring and way to hard.
We really like this game but we mean we only get to 100 and its super hard.
Sometimes when we land it wont let us move.
This app was just terrible. We would not recommend to anyone. It wouldnt actually let us play the game. It wouldnt work when we tapped the screen and when nothing happens they just died. There are many other issues we faced but it would be a long review and we know some people will not read it. So Im making it short. Overall we dont like the game. It was a good idea but they didnt compete the whole idea. We deleted the app because its just not a good game to play.
you have to watch it as for everything.
