We love how this intense jumping game doubles down on the ridiculousness of dodging raining sawblades with an equally ridiculous cast of characters.
Literally AMAZING!!!

I just got this game and already felt the need to write a review. This game is AMAZING! The music is amazing, the controls are nice, and it just feels SO addictive! This is not your average platformer. This game puts you in a square, where you use buttons and jump over sawblades. I know what your thinking, “Isn’t that boring?” Well, actually its VERY addictive. Reader, go ahead and give this game a shot! And developer, I would like if you reply to this, because it just makes me feel good when I see a developer respond to my reviews. Once again, this game is pure awesomeness!!! Keep the sawblades coming! - RunRunRun150Update: Its been a while since I wrote this review and yet im still dodging sawblades to this day. Today I decided to play again after hanging out with my family and was amazed to see that you have now added unlockable BACKGROUNDS!!! This is actually a big step for the game for you guys to add that! After calming down a bit, I started forming a suggestion of my own… What if you added… UNLOCKABLE FONTS!! So you know how when your in the middle of a round you see that big number that tells you what your score is currently?Unlockable fonts have the ability to change the style of that number, for example: Cursive, A different pixel style, and more! Follow up suggestion: What if in the unlockable section, for 100 points every time you could DRAW YOUR OWN SAWBLADES!! That would be cool! If you could add at least one of these that would be amazing! Keep up the good work!Dodging sawblades 24/7 - RunRunRun150

Game is super addicting! Love that you have landscape mode as an option but 3 things would make it better. 1. Please make the arrows and jump button bigger while in landscape (they are way too small as is) 2. Make landscape mode happen automatically if you turn your phone sideways instead of activating it in the settings 3. Make the gameplay area screen bigger (zoom in more) while in landscape mode UPDATE: Thanks for the quick fixes to our reviews! Definitely makes the game much more enjoyable. Also happy to be able to use my backbone(iPhone) and ps4 controller (iPad Pro). It would be cool if each character had some sort of power up/skill. Like, one can do a wall jump, one can triple jump, one has an extra life but cannot double jump, invisible for 3 seconds if you clear 3 saws, faster movement, ability to slam down to ground. Or just add power ups you can buy with coins and can bring 1-3 with you that fall down with the saws randomly. Some examples: Shield, triple jump, slow motion, heart. This would add to the experience! You could also have 2 game modes/ leaderboards. Original and Arcade (w/ power ups)

Thank you!! Landscape mode was intended for tablets, which is why the display is so small on phones. That said, I'll be working on more options to adjust the sizes and positions of the buttons. Thank you so very much for the great suggestions!UPDATE: Thank you kindly! Also, thanks for the suggestions! I'm definitely looking into making different modes ^_^

Worthy challenge

It’s a simple challenge, and becoming more skilled is rewarding. I just somehow was awarded/discovered a new hard mode which has made me feel very accomplished! The new mode blows my mind, because it still works, like I still intuitively know when I will live and die based on my jump!I usually struggle with getting addicted to video games, but for this game it didn’t happen which is a good thing. Major draw back is that tickets are earned in a linear fashion. Even if you get higher scores you still get the same number of tickets. Even the hard mode has the same number of tickets. But unlocking stuff is just for looks so it’s not too important.
