Wish it had some resume points as its tricky when you get so far. But the controls work very well, the SNES style graphics are very good.

If anything, it can be frustratingly hard. psj3809 Moderator Jan 13, 2011 12,794 589 113 England #8 psj3809, Sep 16, 2012 Yeah i can see what theyre trying to do, make it an old skool platformer where in those days you couldnt save your progress (Same for Kale in Dinoland) but in those days i had weeks and weeks to play a game , nowadays i'm older, games are cheaper, if a games that difficult you tend to move onto the next one. Wish this had a save game point though! foxmulderino Well-Known Member Dec 30, 2009 2,916 0 36 Student Italy #9 foxmulderino, Sep 16, 2012 Perfect said here!

Personally I've had a great time playing this and consider Manos to be one of the better platformers on iOS. And easy recommendation at one dollar for anyone who enjoys a challenging NES style retro platformer! (You must log in or sign up to post here.)
