Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
Great game but currently unplayable on modern device please fix this game is great.
This game is one of the best games out there!!! It's a must have.
This game was amazing back in the day but just like the dont touch the spikes game, it has a resolution bug where any iPhone above the 6 has a bugged resolution screen making it so you cant really play the game. The devs of dont touch the spikes fixed the resolution bug recently on the other game so Im hoping one day they fix this game that they abandoned as well because it used to be really fun when it worked.
This game was awesome as a kid but sadly since no updates the game fell apart! Thank you for being a part of our childhood.
This game TOTALLY ROCKS!!! Get it!!! Our Only thing, we dont like how you cant pause the game when you need to. You have to get out of the whole game!!! Which bothers us. What else bothers us is you LYING PEOPLE! People lie and say you dont get your prizes on challenges and you have to wait! Lyes! Please…. Listen to us this game rocks!! Thanks.
This app is sooooo fun and addicting but the adds…… There are so many and it screws up our game and makes it run too slow every now and then (–).
We adore this game but we'd love it even more if the "No Ads" button worked. On our iPhone 6S Plus (iOS 9.1), tapping on "No Ads" the first time does nothing. Tapping it a second time causes the app to crash.
We love this game and it is so fun but we are in the middle of playing the game and ads come out of nowhere.
Multiple occasions when we were doing well, an ad would pop up and block the screen but wouldn't pause the game behind it so the falling blocks would kill us. Really frustrating when you can't get past your high score because an ad kills you.
0 stars! On regular mode you can't even jump! We FELT LIKE BREAKING MY IPHONE.
This game is fun enough, not overly special but entertaining. EXCEPT the ads are quite glitchy. Sometimes they pop up when you're playing and some have annoying music. Several ads are are extremely difficult or impossible to close – there's one ad that is totally non-responsive to tapping the x, such that you have to hard close the app and restart it to get rid of it. Plus even if you love the game and want to buy the ad free version, you can't! The button either does nothing or actually crashes the app. Awful.
We usually don't review games but this game is truly amazing! We cannot BELIVE how complex but fun this game is,we guess leave it go ketchup to make a awesome game like this one. It's fun silly and cute!! ;).
Another awesome game from Ketchapp, our favorite developer. Keep up the good work guys.
We love this game so much, we used to play it a few times a day until we got the batman bird. Now we play it all the time.
Ketchapp makes great, fun, and addicting games, and this one is definitely one of the best. This game helps amazingly with boredom, and there's lots of birds to unlock in the shop. However, none of the challenge birds will unlock, even if we've completed the necessary challenges. This glitch should be fixed. In the future, a few more backgrounds added to the selection would also be nice. Otherwise, this game is good, and we would highly suggest downloading it.
We like this game, we think it would be better if different "birds"had different speeds or something. But its pretty fun the way it is we guess.
Some games are addicting, but this one is extremely fun and addicting. However, the challenges are fully functional but to unlock birds by doing challenges is not working. We did 21 challenges and there is no bird appearing on the 20 challenges bird. That is the only bug we have experienced so far. We highly recommend it. Finally please fix the bug. Unlocking birds is our favorite part of the game. Thank you.
We really love all of ketchapps games they are very fun and addictive.
This game has terrible controls. It's impossible to get the bird on top of a box so you die every time. So frustrating!! This is a huge problem!! This game stinks.
Love this game, it's endless fun and completing challenges is always satisfying but speaking of challenges, the birds won't unlock if you do the right amount of challenges but it's still great.
This game is really great and you should get it but, we've beaten 24 challenges and it still won't give us the 20 challenge bird.
We absolutely ADORE this game! We just downloaded this yesterday and am addicted! The only issue we're having is with the Challenge Birds. We've done 26 challenges and none of the birds have unlocked.. Would be great if you could fix this :).
This game is frilly addicting, but the challenge birds don't show up once you complete a certain amount of challenges. Once the challenge birds work, we will give 5 stars to which this game deserves.
We love this game but it lags a lot so it could be better.
We absolutely LOVE this game! But, we have noticed one bug. We have completed the first 20 challenges, but we can't collect our bird. Once this is fixed we will give this game the five stars it deserves.
This game is very fun. You can get lots of different characters and maps. You also do challenges but there's one problem. Ads sometimes will pop up on the screen as you play. Like we were on 243 doing fine and all of sudden an ad pops up and we die . There is too many ads on this game but it's still pretty good.
We've completed 22 challenges and it won't give us a new bird. It is fun but there needs to be an update.
GREAT game but there should be levels And a shop you should be able to get coins and by power ups and different color birds other whys this game is GREAT.
The app needs an update for the challenges because we've completed 41 of them and none of the challenge birds have unlocked so far! Otherwise it's a super addicting game and really cute, we love all the ketchup games.
This is a really fun game. The only problem we have is when we have completed the challenges the birds do not unlock.
The selection and variety of birds in this app is amazing. Details in the birds enhances the experience greatly. As far as originality, the actual contents of the game are far more imaginative than other applications. However, when unlocking birds that go with challenges, they do not unlock. This is a major issue in the overall performance of the app, Run Bird Run. The original bird is very distinct. Adding birds that depict cartoon characters places a nostalgic feeling on Run Bird Run. Suggestions for new birds in the next update include Pokmon, Bleach, Fairy Tail, Naruto, and Tom and Jerry. Ketchapp makes many amazing applications, using strategy, skill, and patience, as well as reward. This is by far, one of the best ones. The limited advertisements and self-promotion make playing this app enjoyable, as long as there are no distractions around yourself. To conclude, this app offers an amazing experience, as well as detail, originality, and comparability with the other Ketchapp games.
We completed challenges and we are not getting any new birds. That is why we give it only 4 stars until it is fixed.
When we get to 20 missions and more it doesn't seem to give it to us.
We really like the game overall but we have one problem. We got through over 20 challenges but our free birdy isn't unlocked for them :((.
We passed 23 challenges but our bird was not unlocked.
The special bird that unlocks with 20 challenges complete doesn't seem to unlock even though we've got 22 challenges complete. Could this just be us or is everyone experiencing this issue.
We really like the new update it's really fun :).
We love this game, we haven't had any issues with crashing or lagging. However, after completing challenges, unlocked birds are not showing up in the store. We love the addition of challenges and spinning the wheel.
Ok so we just got the update on this game and it has already crashed about 5 times in under ten minutes.So we're just like what the heck also there's and ad almost every single time we log on and when we die.In our opinion that's way to many but we do like stuff like the spinning wheel and the challenges . Lastly we think there should be a bigger variety of candy and that's our opinion.
Idk but u people really need a reborn.Do u even know what a reborn is ? No it is not a baby that has been born again. A reborn is a baby doll that looks so realistic!!!! We got our reborn on ebay for $73 on a bid!!!! Byby now!!!!!!!!!:):):):).
The ads are terrible. The game is good, but there are so many ads. After each round there's a video ad. Sometimes we can't even click out of the ad. Then it'll take us to the App Store.
We've done every single challenge and not one special bird came up! How to we unlock the special birds!! Only giving 3 stars until it allows us to get those. Also wayyy too many adds.
We don't want to be a critic and say all terrible things about this. It is a good game that you can play a while and not get bored. The missions aren't very hard, controls aren't confusing, and graphics are great.However there are problems.The ads kill us. Every about fifth time we play a 30 second ad comes through.ads at the bottom of the screen always mess us up because when we're trying to run we hit them and it takes us to another page and we end up dying. It's the same every time. Could you please put those ads on the home screen and the pop up ones only when they click on them to ear more candy? Also there are not many birds, and most of the stuff in the shop is limited and expensive.
We love yall as an app developer , we get youre trynna get payed but the ads on your apps make them 10x less enjoyable .. Tone it down a little.
We really liked this game. But there really needs to be more to it. Like side stuff, and not just quests. The game in general is fun, but you lose interest quickly. Also, every time we die, an add for something pops up. EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. Now, we don't mind adds here and there. But every time just makes us not want to play it, especially when it's the same add repeating over and over. It drives us nuts! We want to continue playing but the attacking of adds makes us not want to, mostly cause they're super annoying. Fix the app bombardment, and we'll give this 4 stars until more is added. But either than that, it's a fun game.
It is so hard to make your bird go on top of a box. This game has really annoying controls that just want to make you scream! If these controls were made easier this game would be really fun.
With the challenges we've completed 24 and it will not give us the first bird that you need 20 challenges for.
Ok so we like the game. BUT IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO JUMP!!!!! You have like 1/20 chance of jump in a game! Please fix this!!! You could add a jump button or something just please fix it.
This game does not keep track of challenges well at all! We need to complete most challenges 20-40 times before we're credited with them. Nothing but ads spamming every 5 seconds.
Says it downloaded but won't open. Isn't on home screen or search engine either. :(.
