EDIT: I GOT ALL THE FUCKING ACHIEVEMENTS If you thought Geometry Dash was hard.....think again. This game is hard but satisfying. I nearly broke my controller on several occasions playing in free mode. Thoughts. The game for it's price is well worth it, it gives you the choice of playing in free mode or in story mode. In freemode you play for points in an endless level which is quite difficult, everytime you die you respawn in a different level, this gives freemode some variety. In storymode you have to find the character's grandma through different worlds. 5 levels(I think) which all have a unique "HARD" obstacle which will probably require a few tries to perfect. At the final level you play with an amazing beautiful song that literally makes you want more(the song resets when you die) so you keep playing until you manage to complete it. Here's the song. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cI-izMk01EI The achievements are achieved by completing the story mode and reaching specific milestones in freemode. The verdict. This game is definetely worth the price. This game is perfect for when you have nothing else to play. I give this game a 8/10.

Start the game, look at the interface, think that your 5 year old brother can make it better than this. Keep staring at the screen for a while wondering what's up with this shitty music. Start story mode, keep thinking about why you purchased the game. Read the captions, laugh. Start playing, die. Repeat for the next 2 hrs. Get good at the game and roll ahead. Keep thinking that the game was not worth all this money, you could've had a nice meal at McDonald's or Dominoes with that money. Regret. Go back to playing Dota 2. [quote=Mahatma Gandhi] Git Gud

Although i do only have a low play count on this game i have thouroughly enjoyed it. This game makes me think that if geometry dash and crossy road had a baby becaues of the animal characters and the 2d rage enducing platformer style. The only thing i could recomend is competitive level so you can play vs against your friends. I can only think this as one thing to improve on.

Probably the MOST FRUSTRATING game to 100% Achievements on I've EVER played, across ANY platform! The precise timing involved in this game is EXCRUCIATING, ESPECIALLY on a laggy old clunker of a computer! That being said, it's: A. Cheap B. has trading cards (cheap ones, even the foil ones!) and C. is 100% Achievable achievement-wise (gah! painful non-grammaratical errors!) Once the frustration of 100%ing this game is over, it's pretty enjoyable afterwards... WARNING: If you quit Story Mode to the Main Menu FOR ANY REASON, it WILL send you back to level ONE on Story Mode! GOOD NEWS: Story Mode is only 4 levels long... ACHIEVEMENT NOTES: For the Never Forget cheevo, sit in the end credits after story mode until it pops. For the AAA Toke Tope cheevo, spam-click on the developer's name in various places until it pops (not sure if it's anywhere, or a specific spot on the name, it dinged for me after spam-clicking the last name) This game is recommended for its cheapness and access to trading cards and 100% cheevo'ability! =^_^=
