Ratings and Reviews
Good Game
This game is really good but there is 2 problems. I cannot see the bottles being thrown at me during the end of the game and even if I miraculously pass that part of the game it says to press “A”. I cannot finish the game due to these problems and please fix these glitches. I love the game but these problems are very inconvenient.
Great idea, poorly executed
I really like this game, I’ve persisted with it for about 3 months hoping an update would be released to fix the issues I have with the controls.
It’s pretty rare that my character dies because of a mistake I’ve made.
Instead, I find my videoboy inadvertently steps out into traffic or oncoming obstacles while tapping the screen to throw the videos.
I think an option for onscreen buttons or maybe keep the swipe controls and split the screen so accidental direction inputs can’t be made.
I’d love to play this game right through to see all the 80’s and 90’s references that I grew up with, but if the control issue isn’t rectified ASAP, it’s going to be another app in my virtual trash bin...
Love it....but
Love the game, but there is a bug when you get to the street where the guys are supposed to throw the bottles out the car. The car doesn’t appear. Impossible to get past because you can’t see anything being thrown, yet it still hits you and you fail. Please fix
