Community Insight:
We love this game but controls are inverted pls fix will make gameplay easier.
Been playing this for a long time. Speed mode is our favorite but wish it wasnt a solid wall at around 3000. Have gotten so good at it we only have to break the barrier and can navigate the narrowest of tunnels. Perhaps a harder mode than speed mode with a faster pace.
Spout is back! One thing we get youre trying to make it all retro, but we kind liked the crispness of the old version. Maybe you could add the ability to toggle between the two displays in the settings? But Im glad you made it iOS 11-compatible.
A fun little game which we have personally spent hours on. We would love the idea of an inverted color mode (for those extra late nights) and perhaps a setting to play without the filter (pre v2.0-like).
We have always loved this game but we miss the old cleaner graphics and they were changed to look to old and retro and we dont really like it.
This game was good, but it isnt anymore because it is just not the same. We are really happy that you have added support for 64bit devices because we only have one 32 bit one and thats a 3GS that wont charge anymore. Please dont make us spend $50 to play the old version of this game on our 3GS, because we will.
Please delete that efects makes us lose its so ANNOYING.
This is a great game. We've played it before. But when we try and play it on our device, it has these creepy scrolling lines going through the screen. The lines are white, blocking the view of the whole entire game.
At its core, this is a really good game for the reasons others have given. However, despite improvements in this version (most importantly, iOS 11 compatibility), it has a flaw that makes it unplayable in the long term: The controls. In previous versions the thumb stick was at a fixed location on the screen, and small movements could be achieved by just tapping around that point. Now it is wherever you put your finger down, and doing so immediately propels the ship in one arbitrary direction (left). This creates four related problems: 1. The lack of a fixed control point makes the game feel differently in the hand. Its hard to get a consistent feel necessary for high scores. Its sort of like a PS4 controller that weighs slightly different each time you pick it up. 2. The loss of the ability to direct exhaust or movement by tapping makes it very difficult to move around when youre higher up and the screen is filled with obstacles. 3. It is useful sometimes to lift your finger and use gravity to take you where you want to go. However, now theres a momentary reorientation necessary when putting your finger down on the screen which is caused by the need to avoid moving left and by the awkwardness of an inconsistent control location. 4. The crashes caused by the aforementioned reorientation discourages us from lifting our finger when we should, which results in risky flying. We like challenging games, but not when the challenge is caused by a broken control. As it is, the control is fine if you just want to kill a few seconds (literally), but since the control makes play at an advanced level nearly impossible such that we cant achieve higher and higher scores, Im losing interest in what is otherwise an excellent game.
The game was fine till the last update we thought if a waited long enough then someone would fix it. Turns out it was wrong, the game is over twice as slow no matter what mode we pick(the music included) there are huge white strips that move down the screen and block all vision of anything underneath. That was a very fun simple game now we cannt even play it.
This is one of our favorite games ever, but the update broke it on our iPhone 5c. It is showing large white bars cascading down the screen after upload. Please fix.
This is a great way to waste time but our only problem id the controls. We would love it if you could non-invert the controls for the joystick which would make it easier to play. Overall a great game.
This game is this years flappy bird. So addicting, so fun.
This is a wonderful game. Very engaging. We do not really understand the lines in Hyper and Classic mode that go all the way across the screen… It makes the game less fun because they are occasionally impossible to get past.
Very very fun free game simple but entertaining.
Simple and addictive, we love it.
Has a great art style and the controls are tight 10/10 would do.
Great game. Perfect for a quick fix.
Saw this in app all night ! Definitely worth the download.
We really enjoy playing this quick fix addicting game!! Time "flys";) by when you play this fun game!! This game is great.
This app is the chillest thing ever. We love it. It's great if you're waiting somewhere and you just want to play a quick fun game. Although, to the creator we have a really awesome idea. What if… You had a race mode where you could race against other people online! And then whoever crashes first loses. Wouldn't that be dope? We think so.
Game is super fun! We like to play it while waiting on someone or just to waste time! We could play it for hours.
Polished minimalistic retro gaming. This is a game you can come back to anytime and still have fun. It's well done for something so simple looking. It turns out its also a nod to an exiting game from Japan.
Wonderful work! We love the exploration of the various mode possibilities. Delightful minimal juice.
You had options to change the backwards controls. Going down makes you go up and vice versa. That's confusing. Please provide options to change the inverted controls. Other than that, this game would be awesome.
Like the style and overall it's fun. We think it would be better with finer controls in adventure and classic (you can only go full speed or stop, though you can get around this by tapping quickly to move slower) One last thing- we don't think your gravity makes sense. Particles always fall down but aren't we in space? We guess we can assume we're moving away from a heavy body.
This app is super fun. Its concept is just our thing. But, as an improvement, we believe that the joystick movement should appear wherever you put your finger on the screen. This would help keep your finger on the device.
It our be the whole point of it but it would be great if you added some settings where you can turn inversion off. Or maybe a mode.
No real bugs or anything. Probably because it's a tiny game. Tiny, but fun to relax with. We definitely Would give five but should be a little bigger.
Its a really fun game but our high score always gets reset.
Well its sad to see this app die at version 11.0.
This is a story of a superpowered pixel with infinite powers of inertia, escaping from the underworld trying to reach the sun. Beautifully designed by continually asking what can be taken away, we can't believe how genius this game is, thank you so much.
This game has the highest ratio of addictiveness to simplicity of any game we've found.
This game is really fun. At first we thought we couldn't get past using the buttons. But after a wile of playing we found that they didn't get in the way.
This was way more fun than we expected it to be. Each of the three modes offers a different challenge, and the Adventure mode has a fun Asteroids vibe to it. Nice work.
We don't know what it is about this game but we just can't seem to put it down. The adventure mode keeps drawing us back in or more. Whenever we have a few minutes to spare we try to get a game in. Be warned though, we got one heck of a hand cramp after a long game session from holding our iPhone tightly. @daremachina.
The game is called spout, and the icon looks like something "strange" if you know what we mean. That's kind of creepy… But still a great game. Haha.
This game is brilliantly addictive– crack cocaine.
Like a point or coin system where as you go on you collect them and can spend them on we.e. Game modes, background themes, color schemes, etc.
Really fun game with a surprising amount of strategy packed in for being so simple. Very addicting. It's easy to quickly start a new game. The controls work as they should. The look of the game is very nice and simple. Our favorite new game at the moment.
Game is very addicting love playing it.
