Drop Wizard App Reviews

Thought it was gonna be more like Mario Bros or bubble bobble control wise. Got bored after a few stages... :(

Anyone who remembers classics like Bubble Bobble or Rod-Land will enjoy the nostalgic rush this game provides. With its cute graphics and cheery music, its hard not to be charmed by the whole production. The only area of disappointment concerns the auto-run control scheme, which some gamers are bound not to like despite that they work well within the limitations of the touch screen. I believe they add a nice element of technique and challenge to the proceedings once the initial awkwardness is overcome, but some alternate control options would still be appreciated. Otherwise, this title is well worth the price.

This game has a good back story and I love how its a retro game, but the controls are so so bad. If the creator sees this, PLEASE change the controls.

His is classic old school gaming. It takes skill and strategy and isnt easy to beat right away (but youll get the hang of it quick). Any one who wrote a review criticizing the controls would have probably given Dig-Dug or Galaga bad reviews too. They dont really understand the game and dont want the challenge. Just download and play it. Its great.

I believe this game holds its on with some of the best arcade games in the App Store must buy in my opinion.

Cute little throwback platformer with some interesting ideas. Very simple and repetitive gameplay. Needs more variety.

Nice Kirby-like graphics and music. The negative comments are a little extreme. This is a simple little game that has a nice renewed retro feel. Having said that, I do have a few complaints. -The controls arent awful as some have said but I would prefer just one touch controls to change from direction instead of two side controls. -It gets quite annoying when I lose a life to falling on top of an enemy. I might suggest being able to hurt enemies by hitting their head. -Also, with the enemies that need to be hit twice, you can get stuck between it and the wall you have to lose a life. -What are the points for???

Its a cool concept. Great graphic style. But when you press the control left or right to move it just starts making the character continue to run unlike traditional platformers which only move while the button is pressed. Its probably not a big issue for most, but I dont like it. Change the controls and Ill play it again.

I love everything about this game, the graphics, the music, the simple concept. I only wish there was a way to stop running but I guess you could argue it adds to the games charm and challenge.

This is a pretty good buy. Feeling the artwork as well. No complaints about the control scheme as yet. Fruit is delicious.

Took a second to get used to the mechanics, but once I did it was really fun and addictive. Some people seem to dislike that the character is always moving, but to me that adds to the challenge. I mean, all you are doing is pressing 2 directions. The game needs a way to stay fast paced and I think maybe that is why they did that. Retro games were always tough and you would die a lot until you got the rhythm down. But thats what I liked about them. This game has that element to it, along with great retro graphics and 16-bit music. Is this up to par with a Super Nintendo game with the Super Nintendo controller? Of course not. But for a 99-cent iPhone game this is really quite great!

WASTE OF MONEY WASTE OF MONEY WASTE OF MONEY WASTE OF MONEY IF U JUST DO NOTHING YOULL PASS THE LEVEL WASTE OF MONEY WASTE OF MONEY WASTE OF MONEY OH AND THE ONLY REASON THAT IM POOTING ONE STAR IS CAUSE YOU CANT DO ZERO WASTE OF MONEY DONT BUY

simple controls, fun gameplay, cute graphics, catchy music. the gameplay is easy to grasp, and every level plays out sort of like a puzzle. highly recommended

This game is amazing. It reminds me of the glory days of arcade games and consoles (1970s and 80s). The controls are great (but take some getting used to), the music is retro, and the difficulty presents a good challenge. Hopefully some additional levels are eventually added. Congrats to the developers on a stellar game. Buy it!

too simple,music bad,control bad, dont buy it

First off this is a beautiful game. Im an artist and a very visual person, so the graphics alone convinced me to buy this game. Ive played this game and put it back down a number of times but I still cant figure out what I dont like about it. One thing is that the controls dont seem right. It could be the auto-walk or possibly the drop firing (which I realize is where the game name comes from), but whatever it is it just doesnt seem to click. I cant deny its amazing graphics, smooth animations, cute characters, and the very fitting soundtrack, but with all of that said im just not crazy about it. In conclusion I think I want to like this game more than I really do. If youre looking for a unique retro-styled arcade game then I think its definitely worth the dollar, just dont expect it to compare it to the classics.

This game is wonderful! The design is airtight, with seamless and consistent high-end pixel art that Nintendo themselves couldnt outdo. (Drop Wizard takes a lot of visual cues from the Kirby games, an obvious inspiration.) I love the main gameplay mechanic: its fresh, but still has a familiar platformer feel. The characters and environments succeed one another in a very elegant way that allows you to pick up the games ideas intuitively without rushing. Drop Wizard is PeRfEcT for mobile devices and seems truly designed with the platform in mind, not something I can say about many other developers. The music (and sound design!) is emotional and nostalgic, the art is thorough and detailed and cute, and the levels are clever and fun! One of my favorite iOS games to date. :-)

This game is very fun. Love the retro feel that this game shows off. The only thing I could complain about is that I found it quite short. I hope you guys are developing more levels for us! Worth the 2 bucks!

It took a little to get used to but once you get used to it its good! Trust me you will like it. It is fun and will keep you smiling 10/10!!!

Looked like it was going to be a Kirby-like game. The graphics are excellent but the gameplay and controls are unfortunately not very good. Sorry.
