Gunlock Well-Known Member Dec 13, 2010 472 0 16 #3 Gunlock, Jan 28, 2015 This is a fantastic endless climber, really worth trying out. I bought it when it came out and it was money well spent. The only problem is that it was not updated since the release in 2012... Lavender Well-Known Member Dec 31, 2013 2,967 0 36 United States #4 Lavender, Jan 28, 2015 Is this the full game? The IAPs look like they unlock things... So unsure. Thanks!

It's still an amazing game. There are IAPs, but they're not necessary to play (they're cheats, extra items, unlocking stuff faster etc.). The controls are an absolute god damned joy - about the only flaw I could pick out is with my big hands playing a platformer on an iPod Touch held vertically is a pain after a while. But there are still very few mobile games that feel so wonderfully fluid and intuitive.

So far seems great, although the two handed portrait mode is a little crowded. (You must log in or sign up to post here.)
