Community Insight:
We love this game. But we just got a new iPhone 16 and now the Dynamic Island covers the score on top. Can we please fix this.
This game used to have two sides. It stopped updating at some point and we could not play anymore so we deleted it. A few years later, we were delighted to find it again on App Store but the ame we loved playing isnt on this. The black hole one. It had levels and bonus games. We miss that one.
We absolutely love this game! Everytime we get a new phone or tablet, this is the first game we download. Thank you for making such an amazing game. Its our go to when we need time to pass by.
Era mejor la version anterior! Que podias girar y hacer las burbujas vos mismo aprte de las que aparecen.
Ive loved spirit since the first time we play it , but we havent played it in years because you had to buy it so Im glad you have it for free now, but honestly we have to agree with the last reviewer, it was way more fun and cool circling around the things than using pulse balls ,Maby have them as some kind of power-up you can get if its getting to hard but please put it back to has was. Im satisfied with this for now but please bring back the original.
Still a good game but, at least for us, no where near as enjoyable as it used to be. We loved the original gameplay we played years and years ago on our android tablet. Why not even include the option to play the original way? We were going to email you to please update the app to be 64 bit so we could still play it but then we checked and it was updated so we were excited. Was let down when we realized it wasnt the same gameplay anymore. Still giving a 4/5 for what it used to be, but we miss it. Still will play here and there tho.
Ive played this game for a while. It was beautiful! However recently, the developers amped up and shrank the hit detection box on your character, making the game a lot more difficult. The super close swooshes past the enemy made the game exciting!! Now it feels stiff.
As the title suggests and others have already requested, please bring back the classic version of this game. This was such a comfort game for us back on the iPod touch and Im very happy we discovered it again after all these years, but Im really disappointed that it isnt the same. We would gladly pay for a classic version, please.
We loved this game! (we would rate it higher but we want the old version back where you had different game modes!) Over the last 6-8 years we bought this game several times for the different phones we purchased. We be willing to pay for the old version again! This new Spirit is still fun but it lacks some of the key elements that made the older one great! We still have our old iPhone and find ourselves playing the old version more than this one! Please bring back the old Spirit!! Hopefully, youll be bringing it back soon and we look forward to getting it again! Thanks!! -DJ.
What happened to classic and extreme modes? An empty shell compared to its former glory. Id be happy to pay to get get the old modes. Yes dev, thats a hint.
We used to love Spirit. But for some reason its had stuff taken out that means its not as good as it used to be. Why is it that now the only way to play is the Pulse version? This was the least fun part of Spirit. We enjoyed playing it from time to time, but the Classic version, where you have to crate wormholes by circling the enemies, was the best. You also started with 3 lives – now, when you die thats it. The bonus waves have also disappeared. And there is no score table. Why have you watered down what was a great game? Disappointing.

The game has a serious bug that makes it almost impossible to play at higher levels on an iPad. Your ship is offset from your finger position so that you can see it while moving around. Thats a great feature. The problem is that if your ship touches the bottom edge of the screen, the iPad will respond as if you had really touched the bottom edge of the screen, causing the game to pause. Then, unpausing the game at a higher level almost always leads to your ship being immediately overrun by critters and you losing the game. Its extremely frustrating.
In all honesty we havent really played this new version, Im just bummed they totally changed it, we much prefer circling things ourselves. We used to crack out on the original game for way too much time! So many good games just fall by the wayside, we dont get it.
This game used to be one of the most fun, compelling and captivating games. But ever since the creators removed most of the modes and only left the Pulse mode on (which btw was always the most boring mode), its definitely boring and repetitive. We miss the old Spirit game. This one pales in comparison.
We are just glad we have the old version on an outdated ipad2 mini. Still a fun game.
We did purchase this game at its very beginning nany years ago. Ive played in daily. We own it on Android too. Still the very best game ever. Please bring back the original extreme mode. No need to combine ot with pulse. It is boring now. Thanks.
We do not mind if we would have to pay for the base game and the skin pack like before. That's how good the original game was, and we miss it dearly. Please revive Spirit.
Where is the paid version? We already purchased it, but no longer cant find its download.
The home menu could use some cosmetic improvements but the game itself is amazing.
We like it but can you let there be more stuff like for the wormholes how about you spin to make one and can you add levels nothing's gonna change only if you get to a higher level more little guys come.
What an awesome game with great graphics and simple controls. Nice work.
We think this game us really good and we would like it if they made a demo of the original game mode because our cousin had this game an it was supper fun!! In other terms, this is the best game in the AppStore.
Actually pretty good challenging enough to give you alittle bit of a hard time but that's the point so don't listen to any idiot saying it's too hard and it's runs perfectly on our iPod 5th gen.
