Still Playing After All These Years
I bought this like ten years ago to play on my iPad 2, and I've played it on every device I've had since then. It still works great on my iPad Pro, and remains a speedy retro break. It's a wonderful nostalgic recreation, and a fun little action game.
Played a few
of these G+W type games on my phone. This is definitely my fav yet.
Wonderful
This is great! Been looking for something like this for a while.
The Pointing Monkey!
Well...not really but this game makes getting revenge on any bad monkey that has ever done you wrong! This game is crazy fun and a blast from the past. It's labour of love...isn't it?! TOTALLY RAD!
Just great! Matando saudades
Just a great game. Waiting for more like this one!
Classic
I did not expect to like this as much as I do. Great retro gameplay, simple controls, and it's super addicting. I know I'll be spending way too much time trying to beat my best score. Well done.
Simple, Fun
This is a great, simple game with very fine attention to detail. I've been having a blast playing it and totally recommend it to anyone who fondly (and not so fondly) remembers these old LCD games.
Great Old-School Fun!
I love how simple and fun this game is. This game proves you don't need complex gameplay to have fun. The play style takes me back to grade school.
Awesome Throwback
Great game. I hope they make more. My only feature request so far would be a reset or power button. Or even being able to take the batteries out.
Wax in Nostalgia
If you have a certain fondness for great take-me-back-to-yesteryear type games, this is no-brainer purchase. I thought it was worth the price just from the first play alone. Very simple controls and charming graphics.
Great Tribute
Love this style of games, you'll greatly enjoy this love letter. Well made, lots of polish and fun under the thumb!
Amazingly Faithful!
It looks and feels like a classic LCD game. The art design and addictive gameplay are spot on. One of the beat iOS games I've played.
Wonderful.
Obviously they have spent a large amount of time producing this game. I love it. Takes me back to a much younger time. Buy it!
Nostalgia
A great rendition of the classics. It holds its own as a fun game as well.
Greatness!!!
Don't read this, you're wasting time..... DOWNLOAD THIS NOW!
Sweet.
Awesome game! Bought it ages ago but forgot until I read the Gamasutra article. :) Nice work on the retro feel.
Too simple
Not bad, but can easily get bored. However, I do like the style. Nostalgia for me.
Pretty good...
Fun knock-off of the old school games.
Popup ad is annoying.
New version crashes app occasionally.
Great, attention to detail and gameplay
Try tapping on the screen or tilting your device. At first I didn't notice the way the LCD segments glimmer just like on a real game like this.
Deserves more downlads
This game is a piece of art! Very awesome stuff.
Great, fun, nostalgic
This game reminds me of when I owned a game and watch, right down to the controls, LCD glimmers, and feel. If more games like this were made, I would buy every one.
Amazing!
Brings back memories of my first game n watch, really fun and addictive, make more pls!!! ;)
Very nostalgic
Love the retro lcd and sound effects
Nostalgic and Beautifully Done
Anybody with a fondness for the games and consoles of yesteryear should pick this up - beautifully detailed. The wave of nostalgia I got when getting engrossed into the familiar beeps and boops gave me shivers.
A great ape app
I love it when you can tell the makers really put a lot of effort into their game. A fun romp.
Better than Gas Panic
It plays a lot like Gas Panic, my favorite G&W title, only better. Every element of it was well done. Love this game!
Early 80s Handheld Magic
Ever played any of the old Game & Watch series? This is just like that. Fun, hectic, endless action just like those little handhelds. 5 stars in my book!
The 80s are here to stay!
I like the game it would be cool if it was a real LCD handheld too!
