The game is great we’re a guy and we love it but we like the more pixelated girl but we’re sure some like the new one so we would like to see a way to change ur character like retro girl new girl and so on.
Girl power! We love this app, we feel like us and our friends would come up with this. We would love if in the future they made it so there were upgrades (accesories for the character, different characters, maybe even bloody tampons??) we approve & recommend this game to anyone that loves period humor as much as we do.
We fully support this game and the message behind it! Made us chuckle!! Fun way to make tampons and periods less scary.
We love the message of the game. What a time to be living in. The object of the game is simple, and playing it is fun, challenging, and addicting. We really like the 8-bit style.
Play Queen healthy mama we love this game is it download it and if you dont youre a misogynist and people hate you.
This game is a lot of fun. It’s easy to play and addicting.
We showed him this game and he was immediately addicted. Now we challenge each other for high score by texting high score pictures back and forth! Im hes currently winning. Its ok we have self control with the game.
This game is amazing! There should be a second one when you have to bounce off of pads like doodle jump! We love how this game is teaching how mensuration is totally normal.
YOU WONT DARE TO DO BETTER THAN ME we AM AN ABSOLUTE LEGEND MAN 104 IS MY HIGH S ORE NOW BUT IM GETTING BETTER EVERYDAY.
Finally a game that we can play that shows the empowerment of women! We enjoy this game and would love a sequel. Plz make more. -A strong independent woman.
This is so addictive, it has replaced Candy Crush for us. Our daughters love it & the boys are enjoying it too. Tampon Run is quickly becoming "the cool thing to do". The young girls who invented this game are incredible & we saw their promo video. They hit every point on the money, from lifting the period taboo to getting more girls into STEM fields. Clearly excellent parenting. Cheers to their moms & dads. We never write a review this long, but we’re guessing these reviews are actually being read by the creative-genius-future-leaders that created this game & we have a message for them: The pea-brains that have something negative to say about the politics of your game are whiners. AND YOU GOT THEM WHINING! Good job, girls. For every negative review, it’s a win for you. They are taking the game play far too seriously (boo-yeah) while surely condoning video games with actual violence. We are sharing your game with everyone we know. NO SHAME. Also the maxis with wings?? We’re so proud we could cry. We would like to shake your hands. Keep it up. Don’t stop. God bless.
Glad someone speaks up about how periods don’t have to be so secretive..
Congrats to Andy & Sophie. Not only is this game fun, but its one of the most innovative concepts we’ve seen in a while. Cant wait to see what your future brings.
Feminist as frick. And addictive. :)
We wish we could throw tampons at some of the men we know in real life. Since that won’t happen, we will gladly spend a few minutes of our day shooting tampons at little pixilated men.
This game is fun and our 40 year old map ther loves it too.
Very addicting but you guys need to update it last update was 2 yrs ago.
The girls who created this are so cool. We’re gonna start throwing tampons at people in real life.
This game is super empowering and has a great message! We love how it’s like a female equivalent to Super Mario. It’s about time women were represented in a way that actually relates to us!
We can’t express how much we are in love with this game! The maxi pads with wings?! We laughed so hard we cried! This is literally the best app on our phone. Thank you so much! You guys are the best.
This is the best game we have ever played.
We LOVE YOU AND THIS GAME THANK YOU FOR MAKING IT.
This generation isn’t offended by this in some way shape or form. Surprised honestly.
We love it! Girl Power They should add an iPad version!
We would like to comment on things that would make this game as a fellow game/app developer and player. We feel that a restart button would be better after you press pause to they can restart if they need to along with other characters like maybe a black women with curly hair and the same clothing and animation along with maybe power ups like maybe period pills or pain medicine along with maybe foods because everyone know a girl on her period with out food is the worst we know from experience. We hope you read over our comment so you can make this game even BETTER and we completely agree with this message. Have a great day.
Love this game love the changes you made exept the graphics definatley liked them better before. Awesome game!
Laughing at all the people rating it one star and saying stuff like "ew tampons" like that’s exactly what this game is meant to stop overall we love the concept and the message.
Cool game we are reading ur book right now and its cool.
We love the game. It’s really addicting, and the intro makes us laugh every time. Thanks!
We love this game but we wish we could pick our character like the ones they have in the intro. We are African American and we feel that we should get to play an African American girl in the game. No offense to any white people but it’s the truth lol.
The game itself is so much fun but we think it could use a little more. A gender selection would most likely satisfy most people’s requests. The game has a wonderful message and its quite funny too. We wouldn’t go so far as to say to put power ups and other things in the game to go farther than 93 which we’re yet to pass because it’s just a fun little game sending a message, but they would be definitely liked.
First of all congrats! This game is great and enjoyable. This is definitely needed; A game with a great agenda but also good gameplay!
Playing Fibbage 2 on Jackbox games and they mentioned this game in a round so the whole family downloaded it and started playing simultaneously for almost an hour. Guys this game is so much fun.
We love the idea of this game because, you’re absolutely right. Women shouldn’t be embarrassed about their period. And nobody should make them feel that way. We mean periods show that we are strong, feminine, and amazing. We read about this game in the seventeen magazine and immediately downloaded it. And even other than that this game is suppppeerrr addicting and fun!!
We came across GirlsWhoCodes website and found out the story behind the game. Then with one google search, we found out there is an app. Awesome! What a wonderful program!
The objective of the game is basically killing the men in it. Wow such an amazing game can’t wait to see more.
We saw your documentary of it on snapchat and just had to download it.
As a girl we find the empowering and the story behind it is very true. We also find the game hilarious and entertaining unlike many of the games being created now. Thank you for this game!!
We also love the retro pixelated graphics!
It’s fun, but it needs better music and sound effects. (:
We have to say, we like this game. It’s kinda weird, we told our friends all about it and they really like it! One problem is, well nothing!
THIS GAME IS AMAZING. Its telling girls not to be afraid of their bodies and not to hide the fact that your on your period. It’s completely normal and this game is life thank you goodnight we love hayes grier go follow us on Twitter @magichayes.
Nothing beats the feeling of shooting boys with tampons. This game is awesome! Plus, after, we shoot the victim, the tampon turns into a pad and flies away. The game also has addictive music and colors (the background is red, like blood). Not to be weird but, this game is also a nice conversation starter; we just whip our phone out and start playing "Tampon Run". We basically love everything about this game.
We love the idea of the game. It’s funny, and it’s very true. Boys are afraid of tampons and think it’s disgusting when in reality, it’s a part of life. Very interesting and fun game. Love it!
Just got the game and is SUPER FUN but we’re still gonna hide the app from our family. We know what this supports and we TOTALLY LOVE it but it’s still kinda weird if it’ll be found.
Ok we love this game this is so great and it relieve stress to when your on it you connect with the character and everything about it is perfect we say there should be more games like this feminist unite!
