KIDS Reviews
It was short but we felt like the experience was worth the couple of dollars. Its a piece of interactive art to make you think. It does say in the description its only the 15-30 minutes so we think people just need to read.
Also haunting and funny. Shirt but great.
Deeply philosophical. Brilliant. Raised questions. Do we have free will or are we foolish sheep? If youre god, would you spare or punish. Tests the boundaries of our inner sainthood and sadistic desires.
We just finished playing and Its a good game but it can be slightly confusing. Its a good game and we could definitely get the theme of the app fast.
The other reviews are pretty much spot on. Its not really a game, but closer to an interactive experience. Probably the right term is kinda interesting tech demo. Its like a very polished version of something a student would come up with for a semester project in a game design course. Its very short as noted in other reviews (less than an hour, most of which is a rehash of roughly 5 different scenes). $3 isnt much and we wanted to check it out. We rarely regret spending $3 on a game, but we kinda do in this case. Im not sure why theyre even charging for something like this, its literally just a short tech demo. We hope they make a game of some sort in the future, maybe that would be cool. Dunno. Id save our money on this one though.
This game is a complete waste of 3 dollars all you do is watch these weird people do weird stuff and a lot of the scenes are reused multiple times and we have no idea why it costs this much, do NOT buy this game if you actually want entertainment.
Dont buy its a scam we lost our money on this game.
Even if this game is a little longer its still not worth three dollars. But, we love this game so much and we want to make another one but we hope if they do make another one that they would take more time as much time as they need so they can make it super long and more interactive and maybe, just maybe, cost a little less. We dunno.
The game was great but a little too short but it didnt matter since it said 15-30min long.
What a ride. Delightful, weird, interesting albeit unsettling, but still awesome. Stretches the mental muscles a bit and made us laugh out loud on several occasions. Worth every penny.
It took us MAYBE 5 minutes to go from start to finish. If you dislike game longevity, then this is for you. ( we gave this game 5 stars only so others could read this comment.) The game probably deserves more towards 2 stars, solely for creativity.
This game is so fun for reasons idk why.
Could someone please message/post who sings the intro song for this app or where we can find the artist? Our 7 year old son and we absolutely find it angelic. Thank you!!!
God God God God God God God God God God God Reasons why god – God.
We loved it so much it was artistic and fun in a weird way. We wish it was longer or a kids 2 but it was great.
The game is frustratingly short but such an amazing time your first play through.
The journey that took us through alone earns this app 5 stars, and the to top it off with how visually pleasing it is, worth every penny. Fantastic work.
Kids is a rather Strange and Yet Strangely Addicting, Cause & Effect, Group Dynamic… The point of the Game is to determine the Cause that creates the sought after Effect… For Example, If You run to the Right, Everyone Runs Left, and if You run to the Left Everyone Runs to the Right… So, what is the point? Perhaps it is to make one man Jump, that then causes all the Men to Jump? Perhaps, it is to run to the Top instead of Right or Left? … Meh!, Who knows, certainly NOT Your cartoon self… You, just have to figure it out for Yourself.. … …… And thats always part of the fun of a puzzle, Right?… Figuring it out for Yourself.. ….. Good Luck!… We Enjoyed the 1st run through, it was sort of calming, But we do not see myself playing this game again.. So.. We paid $2.99 for the privilege, Worth it?.. … …shrugs… Some will say, Yes!.. And Some will say, No… But then, thats so much like Kids…
Kids is the story of the people of Peer Pressure, and not going to lie, its a great experience and tells the story well, without words. Ignore everyone saying thats it lame and boring and short, this game has a nice style to it and even if its short, you can replay it, and make it feel like a movie or even to in inspire you if youre bored. The game feels like a Plug and Play two, but better. Heck, the government is funding it! See the credits.) To simply: This is an good game to play, worth $3 to support the makers, great game, epic art, and cool story. (also, shut up, this game LITERALLY SAY that its 10-30 mins or idk, we know you guys are acting smart but this is a abstract experience.)
The world needs more games like this. Fun and easy to pick up its probably more art than it is a game.
Good idea, NOT WORTH THE MONEY, But it lacked the gameplay amount that you expect for the price. If you would quickly it’s easily less than 20inutes. It’s really designed around graphics and an idea. If you don’t care ablut your money it’s worth it. It is why it has 4 stars from us.
So we mostly understand the mechanics of the game go with the crowd or against it but we do have to say we dont get the part that looks like a stomach it really doesnt go with the flow of things another part we dont understand is in the black water? Why they start singing and also we dont get the clapping part we feel like it had no purpose.
Everyone stop saying that this game was too short and not worth its price. We can agree with you that its not worth $3 but it literally says that the game is 15-30 minutes long. If you didnt like the game because of how short it was you should have read the description first. Other than that it was an alright game. We see where the creators were doing with this has potential and very unique. Hopefully the creators update the game with a lot more things to do or make a kids 2.
Its less of a game and more of an experience.
Dont get us wrong it was interesting, but this game was boring and way too short for your money. We didnt really understand its point and most of it repeated all to frequently which made the gameplay extremely boring.
We expect a bit more content for the price, but it was a good game.
Its a good game… But not for 2.99 . It should be free if you ask us. There are only a couple levels and isnt the most entertaining. We wouldnt recommend.
This game took us 15 mins to complete but it looks pretty and is kinda satisfying. Wish it was longer, not worth $3.
Although it was a nice game we finished in five minutes.
This felt like a good demo for a longer, more involved art piece about peer pressure and social dynamics. But as a complete project its short, shallow, and not especially memorable. Should have been free.
We thought this was gonna be fun and we did like it, but it is frustrating and doesnt make sense. All you have to do is make people point at each other, dive into a hole, and swim? It is not worth 3$ but Id probably download another one of these if it is free.
This could have been a really cool exploration of the indenting of community that kids share and looking at the problems that we adults cant seem to get right. There could be a billion levels for that. The idea, while intriguing doesnt go far enough in the world building aspect of why its here and why it happened. And to charge for this is a very strange choice. There is no pass because its art – this is actual money that people are spending and you know the rules of charging for an app. You could have made waaaay more money with in app purchases – because the kinetic experience is so cool – there are a million ways you could have played this – it could have been a newer version of pocket god. It also could be something that plays off of all the other games on the App Store – there was just a lot of missed opportunity and an over valuation of what this was.
There a a lot of games you can get hours of play time with. We literally played this in 10 mins and then kinda felt like we should get a refund.
The game has fluid and smooth animation and we can tell they put in a lot of work but it only lasts 15 mins and we dont think it is worth 3 dollars.
This game has a lot of potentials, but failed because of simple but repetitive yet short stages. The game is quite overpriced for only 10-15 min long.
The game felt mostly nonsensical (with some exceptions) and even a little gross. If certain levels were explained in the credits after the fact, then Id give it a higher rating. It is definitely not worth $3 as it seems like it took little effort to make.
Such a waste of money!!!! Do not get this app.
First three scenes very disturbing. Uninstalling now.
This game is garbage there is literally only one level.
This app is seriously not worth paying for it. Its pointless and dumb. This should be free especially for a mobile game.
We were hoping for a puzzle. Its just putting proof in a hole and swimming through ominous music. Go watch it on YouTube- you will get the same effect.
Okay look, the game, while the effects are very well executed and the game is very detailed, for 3 dollars it should take for than 10 minutes to play. And once you beat the game there is no point in playing again because there is no objective anymore, we wouldnt recommend.
