Community Insight:
We love this game bi download it it a years ago and we few loved it back then but we got a new iPad so today we got it again and the little stick thing you use to move around is gone the game is much harder and we we dont like the fact that youre character is just running so please bring back the joy stick . Bye.
So much fun to play when you are bored. Although it has ads we still love it it doesnt have a ton of ads great job.
The best parkour game ever made.
One of the greatest games on earth.
We would give it five stars if we could use our game controller (Nimbus).
The game is fun and very reminiscent of the old Gameboy title but there is an annoying glitch. There is an add banner at the bottom of the screen that changes throughout gameplay. When it changes, the game hiccups and it often happens at the worst possible time. Such as when your about to jump over spikes or a gap.
Poor performance with older iPads.
Weird level, all of a sudden could revive or even pass. But when deleted the app and lost all the progress, it started working from level 1.
Nothing like the original game. Levels are small and disjointed. The levels (and limited lives, and guards) MADE the original game. Are there even guards? We got bored after the Nth almost identical level – start at the left, move right,.
We cant play theres too many commercials.
Ads even after you buy the game, as another reviewer said its an ad farm.
This is just a side scroll with none of the thrill of the original.
Pointless and stupid. Cant even compare to original pc game.
We love the game but is there anymore updates at all.. Anymore unlocks or new phases its an incredible game but once you unlock the few items they have theres nothing else to go for.. Other than levels and accumulate coins.
We love Prince of Persia. Loved the original. Loved the re-releases. Actually love this version as well. We only have two issues: First, the controls really need to be lowered so that you can see the bulk of the screen. Often, your fingers are blocking the place where you have to move. Second, when we pay for ads, don't make us watch them to revive. Either offer it or don't.
Albert Einstein once told us that the definition of insanity was doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result. Little did he know he would be speaking of Prince of Persia escape in 2022. The levels do not change. The skeleton man who runs away from you does not offer any sort of novelty to the game. Im not sure if Im doing something wrong to extract more novel features from each level, or how to learn more advance moves to clear the repetitive obstacles. Ive never been a very good gamer. But we loved the original Prince of Persia as a boy. This game is able to re-create many of those magical elements in finding rhythm and speed to clear the level as quickly and adventurously as you can. However the story does not advance. Each level has different permutations of the same 20 obstacles. It seems to us that a computer has programmed each level to recall different pre-coded obstacles and arrange them in different permutations. The colors change on the various Dungeness scenarios. There are no sword fights to engage in with other characters. After 117 levels we think Im finished with it and will be deleting it from the phone. We recommended on an iPad as you can see the feet move better and know when to jump versus on the little screen of a phone or iPod. The adverts go away if you pay the three dollars. And that look to be a bug earlier on in a previous release. You only need to play it for 30 levels or so until you find are able to pass through the cavern of falling spikes. That is the last of the novel obstacles.
Hi, games good can take you back to the memories of good old pop back in the day, though levels are so hard btw level 85 is ridicolously impossible to pass the barrier is way far to jump on and u need to fix it.
We kept hoping this game would get more elaborate after beating each level, but its the same level over and over. The title color changes and the order of obstacles changes slightly and thats it. This is a mindless jumping game that is a giant waste of time.
Im using an Xbox controller to play and somehow the jumping option is not available on controller mode. You can only move left and right. Not acceptable.
This is just a run and jump game that uses the same character as the original. No original music or sword fighting. Boooooooo.
The controls work great on mobile, this game is boring though. Wish they would make the original but with These controls.
Wish there was more potions so you dont have to go through half the first level again and again. Otherwise awesome game.
We want to like this game, but we want to play it with classic controls, and we want the controls switched so that direction is under our right thumb and jump is under our left. Until that happens we find it difficult to control.
Not the same as Prince of Persia we used to play as a kid. We bought 9.99 version of Prince of Persia that first came to iPhone from Ubisoft but after playing game for couple times with the new version of iOS, Ubisoft stopped the support for the Prince of Persia that was exactly like the Classic Prince of Persia. This one is more like Prince of Advertisement then Prince of Persia. Do not buy.
Where is the old app? Why did you remove it from the app store? The new game interface is unacceptable.
We suppose they had the decency to change the name. But this is not PoP from the 90s. Not even close. Its not even close to the first iOS version of PoP. Some might find it entertaining (despite the endless interruptions for ads), but if youre drawn to it because you spent days playing PoP on your Mac IIsi, this is not for you.
Great game! Remind us when we were planning the first Prince of Persia in 1992.
Recently downloaded the game and we're liking it so far. Keeps us entertained but now we're at level 13 and there's a bug where we just die like falling from too high without falling like that. It's at the beginning. No matter what we try, we just die like that or fall into spikes. Really wish you can fix it so we can keep playing.
This game is a legendary parkour mobile app!!!! :D we were thinking you could add wallrun and put a yellow wall on the wall and the play could jump on it:) if its okay with ya :) if you say yes then awesoem :D if ya say no we understand ya want the game to stay perfect and no difference:) peace out :D.
The game is just like the older version.
This game is amazing but we would love it if it was competitive or you could have in game enemies.
So far this has been one of the best parkour games we have ever played. Dont listen to all of the reviews some of these people have posted. They have no idea what theyre saying. If youre stuck on a level, just wait until you get a chance to skip it for an ad. If you dont like getting ads, then just turn your WiFi off. Easy as that. Smh… So first off, animations are just super smooth and nice to play, the game is also very fun and addicting and the graphics, models, and clothes are pretty good. Dont know why they stopped updating this game.
Problem of 13 levels how to solve 13 levels.
After arriving at the level 13 game breaking bug. We continued to play the level and died about 10 times in a row. The game then gave us the option of skipping the level by watching ad. Maybe this helps.
We love the way they brought back a retro game would recommend.
The game is great, thanks to the references to prince of persia history (the hawk head costume, the skeleton that runs away from the screen, etc). However, there are a few bugs. In the red stages, there are structures where there are two spike tiles and an empty tile, and then it goes down and it happens again, until getting to the bottom. In all other stage types, this structure works correctly, but in the red stages, when you go down the final drop, you die automatically. These stages had to be skipped. Also, when the skeleton runs from the screen, if there is a raised tile in front of it, the skeleton will get stuck and the game will have to be closed and reopened again. Maybe make the skeleton jump over these structures? Overall, great game, a must have for any prince of persia fan.
When Im playing Level 13, theres a glitch where the Prince falls a short distance and dies, making the level impossible to beat.
Level 13 its broke, he die cause he think he falling from high place.
Sooo in level 13, after the spike-trapped stairs, you die from fall damage at the bottom for some reason. Is it a glitch? Am we doing something wrong.
After seeing this game through an ad, we immediately wanted to check this game out due to its gameplay similarity to Geometry Dash. The graphics are very commendable especially from Ketchapp. The models are nice to look at, the animations are smooth, and the level backgrounds add a lot to the environment. The only nit picks we have are with the gameplay and how precise they can be, and we also recently found a glitch that prevented us from beating a level. It was a level sequence where the player would drop down five levels of platforms, three blocks long with two spikes on the left side, however on the last step the player just dies no matter where we jump. Ive tried doing this with both control modes, Ive tested where the jump will land and it did not change anything. Somehow there must be a broken kill-some area on one of those platforms, so we do hope that this is fixed.
Is there a reason the game cant rotate to landscape on ipad.
Idk if its the game but every time we hit the bottom of the spike stairs it just randomly kills us even if there arent any spikes idk if its the game or if its not but overall we like the game:).
Theres a bug in level 13 what should we do.
This is a solid, polished game. We were pleasantly surprised that it wasnt an infinite runner and actually gives you a good amount of control over the character. The only downside with the controls is there doesnt seem to be a way to let go of a ledge or grab ledges mid air like the old prince of persia. Also it feels cramped to play with both thumbs in portrait mode, seems like landscape would be the natural choice for a game like this.
Is there a bug level 13 ?? We jump and our character just die like that.
Extremely buggy!we keep falling and getting killed for no reason in level 13!please fix it.
Harkens us back to our childhood. Great game but on level 13 theres a bank of drop offs; and on the last one there are spikes (as are there with the ones above) but, no matter where the player jumps to even without touching the spikes…you die. Must be a code glitch. This needs to be fixed because otherwise theres NO way to get past level 13.
During level 13 It kills us for no reason after jumping. Please fix.
This game is really fun and kind of addicting. Maybe we play this too much, but it literally will not let us get past level 67. Keeps making us die and one spot. Worth the download tho for 67 levels.
