What Makes Pivvot Stand Out
AppAdvice: "Pivvot is one of the best games I’ve gotten my hands on for this year so far. It’s delightfully simple, catchy, and challenging, yet it’s so addictive — you’ll keep coming back for more, even when it gets difficult."
Pocket Gamer: "If you like minimalist arcade games with airtight controls—and you don't mind tearing your hair out from its roots—do try Pivvot."

Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
Love this game. Had it on our phone for over a decade. Its incredibly well-made, and the music is awesome. Theres no other game we like playing as much.
Getting to 100 seconds in berserk took us more than 4 months.
This game is fun in all but it doesnt have enough content for 3$ we dont think it was worth it just so we could beat 4 levels.
Pivvot is a staple of our gaming home screen. Such an addictive game and the music is so good we even bought the album.
Love this game. Can't put it down. Love the new game mode.
We love this game. The premise is unique, and the gameplay mechanics are tons of fun. Highly recommended.
We'd recommend this game to anyone who'd love a fast and simple game. But a warning it could really frustrate you.
Finished all the stages 3 years ago. Reinstalled it coz we liked the music so much.
If you like twitchy reaction type games, this is worth it.
Kudos to the creators for making something addictive.
Best game in the App Store more add ons and a pivot 2.
Please!! This game is awesome!!! PLEASE UPDATE.
We really love playing this game. We have yet to pass the endless level, but could you improve the picture quality for our iphone 11.
Not that leaving a review will matter. The email address for help on this game no longer exists. Might as well not download the game if you have a newer phone. Here is why: The game was made when phone screens were smaller. For some reason it doesnt take up the entire screen so there is an arbitrary border that you have to touch inside to rotate. If you touch just outside that border you dont rotate and will most likely die because of this. All your progress will start from scratch. You might think oh this isnt a big deal just start over. Well when youre trying to beat the hardest difficulty it gets to be pretty infuriating.
We really enjoy this game. It keeps us occupied during those dull moments of life.
Hey Whitaker we hope you see this and laugh lol. We love this game so we wrote a poem. A poem for the creator, Of the game we know as Pivvot, we'd shake the hands of the maker, For giving us the chance to live it. We love the poems that he makes, It really warms our heart, And all the bugs that he takes, Its hard for Pivvot to fall apart. The game itself is pretty fine, The controls on-screen are great, The game makes a thrill of ours, A thrill to take and celebrate. We're not very good at writing these, Poems are not our cup of tea, But we hope you got the gist of this, Pivvot is a game you shouldn't miss! 5 stars. You've earned it buddy.
Great game. Lots of fun, with enough interesting challenges for you to replay and master.
To many good things to say, so we'll just say, creative, fun, and money well spent. Get this game.
Not much to be said aside from this is probably our all time favorite IOS game.
We were instantly addicted to Pivvot! It only takes a few tries to figure out how to play. Really cool, fluid game play, and it's all to the beat! Adding a way to play to ones own music would be cool. New levels and new obstacles would keep us coming back.
The game is amazing, It's full of grazing, But, we would like to know, Who runs the show? We need the name, Of your song, And it shall have glory and fame. :).
Tight, responsive controls; reasonably non-annoying music; simple yet fun game mechanics that work with the touchscreen; much replay value; a VERY responsive developer/dev team. Plus awful rhymes in every set of patch notes. This game is well worth your time and money. You will most probably not regret it.
Love the game and the developer.
This is a great simple, polished game but 2.99 is a lot considering its simplicity. We think that you would make just as much money for 99 cents because more people would buy and enjoy it.
This game is extremely fun and is one of the best games we've ever plaid. Get it now (we were not paid to say this).
We love the game and the poems ><.
We love this game. And when we played it, it kept making us go back to the homepage.
This game dropped our grade in Bio 111 from a B to a F, And we're not even Mad.
Just bought app because of your tweet about patch notes mattering. We're a developer as well and we agree with you, so we voted with our wallet. Keep up the great work, thanks.
This most recent update has changed our view on how to look at developers. The developer for this game is truly amazing and inspiring, we hope more people become like you. He/She works their hardest toward this, and even if the game has a goof up here or there, the effort that was put in this makes us want to hug them. Great Game, Great Job, please keep up the amazing work.
This game is like cocaine. It is so addicting. We cannot stop playing this game. We're hooked. Also, the developer(s) are pretty awesome. They remind us of smooth jazz and/or microwaved butter.
We love this game! It is so original and creative, there needs to be more like this! -Great music -Great level system -Great graphics The list goes on… Worth every penny.
What's that gamemode in the last picture? We've never seen it before that we can remember. Great game and the poems actually made us forget about the glitches haha.
Game gets frustrating when you loose 1,000 times.
We've gotten this game ever since it came out, and it's the most frequent game we play. Don't let one silly bug bring the ratings low. Calm yo self. The dev is a pretty nice guy and he'll fix the issue soon.
Man, after watching and playing this game for a long time, we can say that Pivvot's developers are some of our favorite ever. They care about their gamers, update the app often, and even write poem's for us. What's not to like? Plus, this game is amazingly addicting, too. We're personally very fond of berserk mode.
We like this game. It gets right to the point and focuses on a really fun mechanic. We played through most of the levels and was very satisfied with this game. However, we are giving this game 5 stars because the developer(s) ( we have no idea if there are multiple) really listen to reviews and bugs. They fix the problems and usually with a poem that just makes us happy. We look forward to updates in this game just for the poems. More developers should be like the creators of pivot.
This game is extremely well made and very addicting but we think it would be cool if there was a way you could make your own challenges that you and your friends could attempt.
We love this game, the music and gameplay is great. However the problem is that every time we leave the app and go back in the ostentation of the game is backwards. If we flip the phone one way the games turn the other way. If this was fixed we would give it 5 stars.
The graphic on ip6 is even worse than on our ip5s…..pls fix it. The game itself is not bad.
It's mad fun but as soon as you open the app. It crashes. But not to worry as they will fix it as always and give us a poem. Probably something like. The game is fun. Even with bugs. Now it should run. Now we give you hugs.
We have an iphone 4s with ios7. And it keeps craching everytime we open it.
To be honest, we love this game. It's an interesting twist that keeps us coming back and back again. The sound track is addicting and so is the gameplay, yet due to this recent patch it's just broken all around. Nostalgia prevents us from giving it one star.
Ever since the update the game has 100% of the time crashed on initiation. There is no way around it and makes it unplayable. Please fix ASAP.
We used to love this game but it is not working, it crashes everytime!!!!!!!! :(.
We pad for this app and it crashes on splash screen.
This game used to work. Now it crashes after the production logo, which is before the game even loads up.
Iphone 5s can't even open the game.
Every time we would open the app it would make us go back to the home screen.
