    It's a fun game, no doubt, and stylistically it holds up very well - minimalist graphics are lovely, soundtrack is great - but it lacks the addictive factor.
    Gameplay is attractive on paper - tap the screen to jump the main character vertically, flappy style; no horizontal movement here though. Avoid touching rotating or sliding objects in the sky as you ascend and collect stars on the way.
    There are two main quibbles I have with this game which stops it from being as great as it could be - firstly the star system - it's possible to ascend through multiple extremely difficult obstacles without a star in sight, only to start up another run and be greeted with a row of 10 stars right at the beginning. It seems a bit too random.
    Secondly, the obstacles themselves - I guess there's variety enough, at least for a quick fix game like this, even if more is desirable - but sometimes they are arranged in such a way that it is near impossible to pass, or at least not without waiting quite a long time for two hexagons with slightly different spin speeds to align. As of such, some deaths feel unfair.

    These two minor quibbles add up to create a bit of an annoying 'unfair' feel to the game - which stops it from being as addictive as it could be.
    Kudos for the very fair ad removal system. The pay what you want model > $1 is very attractive to a lot of players who then tend to feel a little generous :)

    Can't wait! Just watched the Pocket preview and the game looks like a fantastic score chaser.

    A minimalistic very challenging game. Like it. Unfortunately, I kind of miss the addictive factor in this game and I'm not sure if it would keep me playing it for longer. I will give it a try when it comes out. I definitely like the way how the ads are removed... I am always willing to pay more for games I really enjoy playing. Thumbs up for this!
