Castle Pals Reviews

I figured that this game would be extremely easy. The art style immediately made me think that this would be a more laid back platformer. I definitely wasn’t expecting this. This game is not unfair, and it is a far cry from the types of games that are notoriously difficult, so don’t expect something crazy out of this, but do expect something where you will die a few times per level. The only problem I have is that when you get a checkpoint and die, the gold medal timer goes to 0 seconds and doesn’t change. For some reason this doesn’t allow you to get a gold medal on the level, forcing you to do it all in one go. It is a minor glitch though, and I do enjoy the game otherwise.

This is a fantastic game, and it’s well worth the $1.99 to disable ads, but the controls for one of the characters are absolutely dismal. It wasn’t too much of an issue until quite a ways into the game, but the flying function is awful. Rather than holding it down to fly, you have to rapidly press the button to stay afloat, and there are times when you ascend really sluggishly, or it just plain fails and you drop like a stone, often to your death. And since there’s audio feedback in the form of a propeller sound whenever you press it, I know it’s not just a matter of me missing the button. Like I said, this game is great up to a point, but there’s a level in the third act that has such little margin for error that this design flaw completely spoils all of the fun.

The concept is fun, but the game kind of ruins it for me. The hitboxes of the buttons are not in the right spot, so so when I tap the bottom half of the button nothing happens. The hitboxes are super unforgiving for enemies and your characters too. If you hit an enemy from diagonally above them, you die. The level and things in it move before you have moved, causing lots of cheap deaths when timings change.

To be honest, I feel like the main goal of this game was to get people to die over and over and watch all of the ADS. This game is full of ads. You die 5 or so times and you get an ad. And it’s not just a “click an X and get on with your day” kind of ad, no, it’s a full 30 second ad.

Cool concept but the cheap deaths, hitboxes, and ads ruin it. 2/5

When I first started playing, the game was super easy, but definitely got progressively harder. Highly recommend this game to anyone who wants to kill some time. Not only do you have the main game, but you have the time trials for the gold medals, and then another fun addition to the game ;). Hope that the developer will add more acts to the game. Would definitely play more levels!

Even the ads didn’t bother me. It actually benefited my playing by giving me a quick break to think through the level! Keep up the good work!

Usually games like this tend to be pretty lame when all you get is left right jump or duck, etc. But this game has mechanics that make it fun, two characters with completely different approaches to each level, and being able to speedrun games like this is amazing. I absolutely love the good art style for the game and the funny little story jokes, definitely one of, if not, the best pixel style games ever made for mobile.

Here’s what I would suggest: the hit boxes seem to a little off at times and my attacks don’t seem to connect sometimes and I have to stand and wait for the enemy to get close enough to kill which makes time trials a bit difficult at times. Other then that the game has a nice consistency of puzzles, speed runs. Definitely worth the wait and I already find myself getting addicted already

I absolutely love this game but I want more.
Accomplished all the levels plus bonus level and all got gold. I’m not for sure what the gold is for though I don’t think it serves any real purpose. Hoping an updating comes out shortly with a lot more content. If not I’m just going to delete it not much more I can do with the game. Even be willing to pay for the game if it had a lot more content it was so good.

So I downloaded this game like a month ago and never found it in my phone. No record existed. Then come today and I randomly swipe to an inexistent third page of my phone and it’s there! I haven’t played the game yet so take everything with a grain of salt that I’m saying from now on I might be wrong. This game does look fun. I played the other game, Ollie’s oddesy and it was really hard so I hope this one isn’t.

This game was downloaded on a whim to kill time at work. I usually download a free game and by the time the first ad hits I’ve lost interest, but no...not with this game. I’ve just cleared stage one, and I definitely didn’t think a game with this style animation would be so challenging. Subtle nods to classic flash games from the 2000’s made it easy to pick up, but the maps can be misleading and tough. Great game Dev!

The game is very good, I thought it would be a easy game depending on the art style and character looks. But surprisingly it is as difficult as high graphic games on different platforms. But some flying levels are very annoying. The flying is slow and escaping rising lava is difficult and annoying after a lot of tries. Still good game though.

This is a very good game. Well polished and the graphics are great. In my opinion, it's a bit too difficult on a few levels (looking at you 3-11) but maybe I just stink.

Most of the negative reviews are people griping about ads which I will never understand. It's a *free* game. If you don't wants ads, shell out a few bucks. Good grief.

I Have Been Playing It A Lot And Im IN LOVE WITH THE GAME its so good but Level 12 Is Really Hard (For me Anyways..Maybe Because Of The Pressure..) And I Just Want To Know If U Can Make It A Tiny Bit Easier.. Please And Thank You!!

After like 5 levels it got really hard and then I thought “why so soon?” If that was the last level before updates please fix the level with rising lava the first one and make it a regular level thanks a lot if you read and consider it.

After finishing a difficult round and just reaching a checkpoint I was hit with an ad. The ads are fine, however, when I get back the menu asks to restart, go home, or fix the sound. There is no option to go back to the game and start at the checkpoint. If this was fixed the game would get a 5/5.

I played and had fun until I got to level 12. I noticed that the controls only worked a little bit of the time in previous levels, but in level 12 it really sticks out because you have to spam it to go faster than the lava and mega lasers. The jump button is horrible for the boy.

Hi! I love this game but I cannot beat level 11. I’ve tried for like three days and I can’t do it! I wish there was like a hint thing or something or a tutorial for level 11 but I can’t figure out how to do it!!!

This game is great! Cute story, fun challenges, and good level design. I love how switching between players really makes you think differently about a level.

The game is fun and has great use of characters abilities, I always have looked for a good platformer and this is one of them. Please make more games like this and have a great day.

Turn off your WiFi and cellular data so you don’t get ads

Game is crap. Not hard but they make it seem so with the controls randomly not working making you stand there and die when you’re hitting the buttons. Maybe if it’s patched it would be worth it but the frustration of the input not working makes this game not worth the $0.00 price tag
