Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
The game is very addicting, watching ad should be problem as it is for free and the team deserves it for their master piece. Great work.
Ya there's ads but the game is free. If we made a free game we'd want to prosper off of our work a little. Is that so wrong?? It's not a bad thing. It's only bad when it's excessive and annoying and unplayable.
Dig the game, but alsolove it or notthis is quite possibly a stroke of brilliance in the way of advertising.
Very strategic and fun. It keeps us coming back.
This game is very good and very fun and we definitely recommend anyone to play it and try to get a high score over 300 meters! TRY IF U DARE. It is challenging but really good and cool and there are no other games like this right now.
Very fun and challenging. We don't regret getting this game! :).
We love it . It's a little weird but VERY addictive.
Watch a short ad for 5 more goes, no problem.
Settings -> Stair Free -> Disable cell data -> Dont complain about ads Not a bad game overall. It has its bugs, but we found it to be enjoyable. Definitely worth a try.
It's an average game with the typical watch to play ad scheme. It's nothing special.
This game would totally work if you didn't try to fish as much money out of people as possible. Please, users, kill the idea of having to watch ads to play a free game before it spreads to every where else.
It's okay. After 5 try's tho, you have to watch vids to get more tries.
This could be a great game if you didn't have to pay per game.
Creative concept, but not engaging enough. Also no variety nor customization. Not to mention the requirement to watch an ad to keep playing the game.. 2 stars for creativity, nothing more.
This game has a good start going. It needs music and the fact that you need to watch adds to play is stupid. It doesn't tell you how to play. It is a good start but a long way from being cool right now.
You're required to watch an ad video to earn every 5 games. So not worth it, DONT DOWNLOAD.
Dont download this game its boring plus you need to watch ads to play you dan only play 5 times then you need to watch an ad DONT DOWNLOAD.
It's ridiculous that you have to watch ads in order to play the game.
It would be a good game otherwise but this just ruins it for us.
This game REQUIRES you to watch ads to play the game, we understand giving players the option to watch ads or even have a little banner that constantly has an ad, but this game does not let you play after the first 5 loses unless you pay or watch ads. Also we assume that half of the 5 star ratings are paid written buy members of the game creation or players given an unfair incentive to write it, like the game for free or even being paid.
The ad system ruins the whole game they should find a better way to implement ads.
In order to play you have to watch ads!?! Complete and utter trash.
It's no surprise that ads make a somewhat decent game a very bad one, and to us this is the worst example of this. You have five attempts before you have to watch an ad to get five more, which is especially bad when you don't pay attention and die in the first three seconds and loss a try. Also, the games own rules aren't consistent, the so called "flight path" doesn't work. When you jump, the path shows where you land, at least it is supposed to. Where the path fails is when you can get like another 10 ft. Higher than what it says. So, don't be like us and play this desperate attempt for developers to get money.
Must watch an ad to play? Who even thinks of that stuff. Complete cash grab and waste of time.
No instructions on how to play and you have to watch ads to play.
You'll play three turns and say screw this, and uninstall.
You make a funny character animation but you need create a "how to play" scene, game play is boring.
You have to watch ads for 5 more games, doesn't give you enough one to jump. And it's our even fun.
The concept is a little creative but forcing the player to watch ads so the designer gets money is a little outrageous.
You have to watch adds to play this game and the gameplay is decent at best.
Could not play it kept crashing -____-.
Ads required to play, and very hard to understand. "Slide blocks to ascend"? What blocks? You can slide any of them. And the arrows point to nothing make it even more confusing.
To even play the game you have to watch ads and you only get 5 games that last less than a minute each. This game is not worth even downloading it for free.
No joke, we just played this game for 3 minutes and deleted it and decided to review it so other people don't download it. You play 5 times, and then need to watch ads to get more tries. Don't waste your time.
If you look through the reviews you'll see that it's all either 1 or 5 star, a good sign that there's some shady business happening.
Watch an ad just to play longer than 5 minutes? Again? No thanks.
Corporate commander is laughing at you.
We are a developer ourselves and we understand you've got to make money some how. But forcing ads on people is a sure way to send your app to the trash can in 60 seconds. That's what we did to it. Happy seeing retention rate go to hell.
You people are so stingy that you don't deserve one star.
Played once and uninstalled as soon as we saw watch an ad to get 5 lives. Completely unnecessary game ruiner.
Just another valueless fad game.
This game is nothing but a waste of time. You have to watch an ad in order to play the game, that right there just screams that the developer just wants money. And on top of that, the gameplay isn't even fun, it doesn't tell you how to play, and it is incredibly slow with no music. Do not waste time or space on this app.
We LOVE WHEN THERE IS AN AD 2 SECONDS INTO THE GAME DON'T YOU.
Just a way to force you to watch ads so they can make money. Do not get, you are forced to watch ads to replenish 5 tries, you start with 5, they were gone in a minute. -from a real app user.
You don't even let us play unless we watch a video? It's ridiculously greedy. Uninstall, and not a single video watched.
This game was just straight up not fun. It seemed very slow and a waste of our time.
