A beautiful game This is highly addictive, really well made and pure fun. The colour scheme is achingly pretty (it uses four colours brilliantly), the music is frankly some of the best I've heard in years and the minimalism in the game is fantastic (btw, what's the name of the font you use? It's gorgeous.). It controls really well and the difficulty is just right. LOVE this game!!!

Awesome This is almost like another fast paced twitch gaming type of ride lol. Fun. Did 500m first try then 1000 then 2000. Def fun. Good job guys! Oh plus awesome music. Well done rob. Is there any update available? Maybe more options or changes or modes?

Awesome arcade game Simple concept, nice, clean graphics, and a nice soundtrack. All components for a good, quick game are here. This is definitely an "easy to learn, hard to master" game. If you like games like super hexagon, play this! Another big plus: devs are lightning fast with replying on emails, which is nice. Good job Laser Dog, you're awesome! Message to y'all: also try 2X4B. Just gotta find it in this game :P

5-stars This game is a must have. I love the fast paced game play and the nice and crisp vector graphics. It's like Super Hexagon in the way that you start on a HARD difficulty, an issue some people seem to hate. The inverted controls are nice but having it turned on from the start I think could really damage some peoples first impression of the game. I personally love this game and the soundtrack is amazing. If you like Super Hexagon then you will like this. Note: It would be nice to know what resolution the game runs at.

Awesome! I never wrote any reviews on anything but this game deserved one. I love the challenge, and the overall experience. Not a single game has kept me playing for more than a week until now. I have unlocked all levels and still playing through all of them to better my score. Patience is key for this game. I flipped controls which helped me. Once you get use to the sensitivity, its all down hill from there. If you expect to unlock all levels with an hour or two. This isn't for you. Good luck!

Pretty good I love this games but have noticed a few things that could be added or worked on. The game freezes for a split second at certain distances, and I'm not sure why. Also I think it'd be cool to have a slider bar in the options menu that allows you to control the control to response ratio. What I mean is control over the distance that the ship travels vertically in relation to the distance your finger traveled across the screen. If I move my finger a little bit higher than I meant to, I slam into the terrain.

A diversion Fun, but hits impossible after 10000 meters depending on your screen size, skill, and patience. Runs smooth as silk though on most devices, Galaxy S2 and newer. Not much in the way of content either, no skins, no fun little trivial additions that might have made the game a tiny bit more motivating to complete. Only twitch gamers needed.
Great arcade game! Bought on a whim since haven't played a game in my phone in over 2 years and boy this was definitely worth getting. Music is great, the game is difficult but I like it that way since it makes me want to keep playing until I reach the next level which I can't wait to reach. This game is not for wieners though.

Thanks a lot :) Beautiful. Infuriating. Art. This game is as frustrating as it is good. I really want to enjoy the gorgeous minimalistic details and listen to the perfectly suited soundtrack, but instead I'm forced to play this game that requires skill and attention and is really fun. Not fair. Get it together, LaserDog, don't make such great games. Jeez. ***Edit: I pretend this is the 2D sidescrolling version of when my Kerbals don't make it off their ship. Is that wrong?***
Hardest game so far! I've always thought I was good at all games... Until I met ALONE. I love the graphics and the controls are simple and sharp. The first level this game offers is "hard" . The next is "harder". I won't be getting past that anytime soon. Great game that won't get boring, you'll be stuck on it trying to reach your goal and see what the next level's got!
Holly Crap this is a FUN game on my tablet !!! This game is so simplistic, but yet a very good challenging game. I played for a bit was like what do I do then used my thumb as instructed at begging and bam I was cruising. This games simplistic any one could pick up. But your patience will be needed, do to a lot of crashing. It's sound is really really good with nice headphones, music is a great electronic sound that puts you into motion and play. Love the simple graphics and game play. So happy I just scored another mobile android delight. Thanks Dev...
Solid Gameplay is good, presentation simple but nice, solid little "one more time game". Recently I removed the Google Play Games app & this occasionally locks up after I cancel (after it asks every time...), but other times it works OK. Keeping an eye on it, but for now I'll keep my previous rating.
Very hard, but very fun It takes a couple tries to get used to the controls, but once you do you'll really enjoy this game especially if you're a fan of other really tough, twitchy games like super hexagon. Also I haven't had any problems playing it on either of my phones LG g3 and galaxy s3.
Fantastic Started playing and really like it. Played for a day and couldn't get past the first level. Second day, I threw on a pair of ear buds and wow! This game just rose to my top list. 1.99 is usually a bit much but the is a very polished game and is totally worth it.
I pirated this game a long time ago on my tablet and loved it so much that i had to buy it. For the record, i only pirated it to make sure it would play and deleted it after. This game is awesome but hard. A real challenge.
My 6yr old boy loves this, and I find it spookily beautiful. Only snag for me is that the day after he's played it sends me a notification for "rewards" which I can't turn off. This might be enough reason for me to uninstall.
EPIC Great fun, love the music and artwork so minimal a beautiful although there are slight frame rate drops sometimes which disappoints me. Warning EXTREMELY HARD ON FURTHER LEVELS AND VERY ADDICTING. Can't recommend enough. There are no ship upgrades or anything like that so do not expect an annoying game where you have to earn money to buy upgrades to become better it is all SKILL I REPEAT ALL SKILL.
Fun and fast paced Been playing this game now for a few minutes after a small problem installing. The developer was friendly and helpful. I hope they can fix the bug because more people should play this game.

Thanks for the review Ashley, glad it's working now :) IMMEDIATE CRASHES I've managed to play it a few times, but it started crashing. I restarted my phone but nothing seemed to work! Please fix this! Other than that, it's a great game.

Thanks Ryan, I received your email. I'm looking into the issue today. Hopefully I'll be able to replicate it on one of our devices. Amazing Game This is probably my favorite mobile game ever. The simplistic gameplay coupled with amazing music and graphics creates a great game overall. This game is a lot of fun to play, although I wish the controls were a little more sensitive.
Great, but unlockable content is painfully difficult to reach. The upgrading shield is not enough to prolong the sessions, so many will not see the game to its full potential. I'm stuck trying to get 6000m on pro. Besides the over the top difficulty, this is a fantastic little game.
A lot of fun It's a good game, easy to get the hang of hard to master. But it lags (even on my newer HTC 10 with 4gb of ram) which is really annoying for a game that requires fast reflexes.
Fun at first But after a while it just gets unnecessarily infuriating. The controls are WAY too sensitive and the next levels incredibly hard to get to. Or maybe I just suck at games.
Super addictive Really nice little app. Lovely design and a ridiculously addictive game. Bloody hard getting the extra levels mind. Also, what is the significance of the boulders which have the yellow outline? Just that they're massive?
Helicopter on steroids Its like that old 'Copter' flash game, but on steroids. Beautiful art style and fun gameplay. My only gripe is that it takes way too long to start, even on my Nexus 5.
Just one more go... Fluid controls, cracking soundtrack, and the 'just one more go' factor that keeps you trying until your thumb gets tired. Pretty steep difficulty curve though.
Bonus modes? Awesome music. Fantastic controls. Creates a great ambience and is actually very exciting when you manage to get past your PB. But what are these bonus modes? Are they the last two difficulties?
Meh... This game has no options to adjust control sensitivity (but controls strangely set to inverse by default), nor select a difficulty (you start out as veteran/hard with no normal/easy modes). Another star deducted for the unnecessary Internet access permission & lack of a quit game button (Back key won't work either, you'll have to Home key out).
Great soundtrack, too hard. Discovered due to soundtrack but never get to hear it all in game because the level unlock distances are ridiculous. A real shame.
Not even worth a dollar Overhyped. Gameplay is good, but it is too difficult even to get past the first milestone. Its a twitch game and honestly there are similar games for a dollar all year round. The positive reviews are nothing but a stupid herd mentality.
Looks like a great game, unfortunately its just impossible to play on a tablet Even after disabling inverted controls they're just far too sensitive. Moving up a few mm forces the plane to veer vertically and crash. No matter how hard I try there doesn't seem to be any way to have any control of the ship. Maybe the sensitivity works better on small screens. But I have ten inches to move around.
Problems The spaceship just slows down to a crawl after crossing 1000m. It is very weird. Could you look into this?
Warning This game should come with a warning label people with heart conditions shouldn't play lol it's that intense... Also it's insanely difficult and unforgiving so in other words it's not for everyone (and by everyone i mean people that play candy crush and stuff like that lol).
Its cool, but... Gets glitchy even on a relatively high end phone (nexus 6), difficulty level way to high to reach the goals. Otherwise good way to kill a minute here and there
Addictive - ignore the below comment You just want to smash the phone on the wall. Feels like the game was designed for AI to play. 1500 m is all I can make after couple of hours of play.
You will die...a lot! But you'll keep going back for more - great graphics and sound and runs well on my Nexus 7 (2013)
No progression Is to hard, I have made no progression, what started off fun has become a pain in the back side. Is there any way to make our easier?
Laser Dog February 25, 2015
Hi Jon,
Thanks for the review. Some people find it easier if you turn off "inverted controls" in the settings screen. Thanks. Broken on Marshmallow Since the Marshmallow update on my Nexus 5, the ship seems to slow down until it comes to a complete stop once I've hit the 1000m mark on any difficulty level. 😞
Brilliant but challenging It only took a few tries to master how the ship moves and immediately liked this game even though I am no good and am still trying to unlock 2nd stage
Are you guys red dwarf fan or Anyway i want to see your awesome bonus modes but im forever stuck at pro level and probably never gonna get to that awesome level do you see my problem
