Cool

The game is cool and really hard I raged a few times playing but overall it’s a great game

Don’t fix something that’s not broken.

I absolutely loved this game and its soundtrack. It was very addictive and so much fun to play! But then, the app moved over to android, but now it’s back and worse than ever. Still in it normal glory, the app is back but with a price that is not worth paying. $4 for the whole game just because the app wasn’t getting the recognition it deserved. Personally, I wouldn’t hurt the people that already love the game by making them pay for the whole game. Even just a few dollars less would be better! Before the app was sold for a price, I finished the entire game, but now sadly I cannot because of the restricting wall set by app creators. My review was once much higher and favorable, but now this update has definitely changed my mind. I’m sorry, and hope this helps.

Жаль что надо платить

Игра очень интересная, красиво написана и всё такое, графика тоже хорошая, но это очень не круто, что надо платить за то чтобы пройти дальше, мне только понравилась игра я в тянулась и тут на тебе и платить на это надо, очень расстроилась так как не могу тратить деньги на игры

Good game but you have to pay to play

I downloaded the game for free thinking it would be a fun relaxing unique game but then…. I was told in the first level I beat I would need to pay for the game after the fourth level. So I’m not paying for that.

Good but disappointing

This game is really fun but only the first 4 levels are free and the rest you have to pay. I don’t really see the point of that as you can’t progress in the game and no one would spend money on this. Please make the full game free not just the first levels.

Много нюансов

Игра платная! Дают пройти только несколько уровней, то есть игра буквально на один раз. Управление достаточно сложное, много препятствий друг за другом, нельзя выдохнуть пока не пройдешь уровень целиком. Пальцы устали после прохождения двух уровней. Но классная графика

This Game Is Fun And Very Awesome, But… Can You Add More New Levels? Please? I Beat The Game And I Was Wondering, Are You Ever Going To Make More New Levels In The Future? If You Do That, I Will Be Super Super Excited! But If You Don’t Feel Like It, Then That’s Ok, Or You Can Make A New Game That Is Called Populus Run 2! But If You Also Don’t Feel Like It, Then That’s Ok.

Good game, great design

Populus Run has some of the best designs that I’ve ever seen in the App Store. I loved the gameplay, and I loved the “sugar free” theme. But here are some problems. I don’t know how to set difficulties on the levels! How do you set it to hardcore mode!? How do you bring it back!? I really wish there was a setting where we could set it to the difficulties would really be great. Another problem is that I don’t know what special features the full version has. I don’t seem to see anything different from the free version. It looks like that was what I got from spending four dollars on this. No new levels. One more is that the boss fights are so laggy. Maybe I used up a lot of my space and it might get laggy. But I’m not going to leave it out. Overall, I think the game could be better than three stars, but I like it. Controls: 8/10 Graphics: 10/10 Theme: 8/10 Details: 6/10 Design: 9/10 Music: 77% Good effects Fine bosses

It makes me smile

I do really enjoy this game, it’s so silly and fun. The gameplay is engrossing and the songs enriching, just so silly, makes me think of 90s kids cartoons. The controls are so annoying sometimes though, I will veer off to the side sometimes and very often the jump button doesn’t register (or the button is too small). I don’t get why people are complaining to pay for the game, you get a few free levels to test it out first - people put energy and skills into making these things.. And there are no ads, dream! The price of the game is like buying a coffee - the game has lasted me way longer than a coffee does. I would give it 5 star if the controls were better, it’s my only issue! And it is a little shorter than I’d like. But I Love the game

サウンドやデザインは良い

サウンドもおしゃれでデザインも可愛く最初は楽しめると思います。ただプレイしてみて感度が高く画面が動くので、もしかしたら画面酔いする方もいるかもしれません。ハプティックの設定もありましたが、いまいち効果を感じれず、やや操作がしにくいと感じました。もう少し設定を細かくいじることができたら楽しいと思います。

Good but P2P

As cool as I think this game is (it’s really cool) I don’t want to have to spend money to be able to play the full game, it really makes the atmosphere uncomfortable for me (probably others, too) that the only free things are the first 5 levels. That’s like buying a Mario game and I can only play the first area! Please either lower the prices or get rid of the block
