Stairway to Heaven ! Reviews

Hey! Just wanted to let you know that the game is really fun and is filled with fun choices. What I wanted to point out was a simple grammatical/confusing English error. In one of the options you put down that “you’re friend has a poisonous spider”. Through the context of the question what I think you meant was “you’re friend has a venomous spider”. It’s an easy mistake everyone makes so don’t feel too bummed about it! Just know that the key difference between something being poisonous and venomous is that when something is venomous it means when it bites you the venom leaks into your blood and, depending on the potency and the amount of venom, can hurt or even kill a human being. Poisonous things means that when you digest something it can hurt or kill you. Since I assume we aren’t eating the spider, I think you meant venomous. Thank you guys!

TL;DR: has a good concept, but expands on it very poorly, and you end up watching more ads than actually playing the game.

The idea behind this game is pretty fair and has a good opportunity to be interesting, where depending on your choices you get go through life with different opportunities and choices, etc. However this game totally fails to do that. You’re provided with arbitrary question after question which doesn’t actually determine what kind of person you are, because the game incentivizes you to choose what everyone else does based on vote percentage. And let’s say you try to be a bad person to see what happens (like I did), you just die and have to restart (or watch another ad). Speaking of the ads, like most games of this quality, expect to be spending more time watching ads and looking for the button to close out of it then accidentally pressing it and going to StairwaytoHeaven Store, than actually playing the game. This is a very clearly money grab game just looking to shoot out as many ads as possible with a concept interesting enough to get people to play it at least once. The only reason this gets 2 stars instead of 1 is because if they genuinely cared about their players opinions (which I doubt they do or will), there’s a really good opportunity for them to make a lot of changes to the game and make it interesting.

The idea on it’s own is alright, but there are a few issues I would like to address. First off, when you make a decision sometimes it says, “-5 honesty” as if we were lying. I feel like it shouldn’t assume that our opinion is “false” before taking off points. Also, most of the choices are straight up bad advice, for example one of the questions was, “you have a crush on your best friend’s boyfriend what do you do”, or something like that. The choices are either straight up propose to him, tell your friend, or make up stories about him. In my opinion all of those are bad advice, if you tell your friend it will turn into an argument, if you propose to him without even dating him before then things would get even worse, and if you make up stories that’s just disrespectful. The ads are also repetitive and sometimes inappropriate, maybe add a child filter? Or maybe change it to an ad every 10-8 decisions instead of every 2 decisions. These are just my opinions and suggestions for future updates. Edit: one thing I forgot to mention is a glitch I’ve stumbled upon. When there’s a choice for you to watch an ad and I press “yes” the button won’t work no matter how many times I press it, it would be cool if that can be fixed in the future.

By the adds this seems like an awesome game really but I have to give it a zero because when I open StairwaytoHeaven it doesn’t even fully load if I keep it open for a while it would just be loading for hours. It was a waste of storage for me and I really was upset about that but I also thing this game is kind of wrong because the concept is about heaven and making choices but those can be personal or even inappropriate things but yeah. It may not take awhile to load for many people it could just be my phone but of course I’m still very upset but also by the adds I feel like this would be a game a kid would want to play except it’s really not that kid friendly from what I see from the adds. Of course this could just be me or this isn’t true but I really would give StairwaytoHeaven a thumbs down I’m very sorry but I’m just disappointed that it wouldn’t even Load for me so I never got to try so I can’t be very judgmental and all but of course other people would have other opinions because they probably got to try this game. As I said I’m m disappointed encause it was a waste of storage for me obviously it wasn’t that for others but that’s just what I think based on what happened to me I understand other people’s opinions and I hope y’all understand stand this is just mine and yep! I bet this may be a good game but still a zero for me and also definitely not a kid friendly game like at all....

i honestly like this concept of this game. you have to make life choices in order to get to heaven. there’s different things other than questions too. but i have a few suggestions that will make the game so much better. first off, there’s WAY too much ads! i can’t go one second after a question without the same ad popping up. i probably lost ten minutes of game time just because of these thirty second ads that pop up after every. single. question. another thing about ads is that the “devil” sometimes pops up and tries to make you watch an ad or you fall down steps or you lose something. i honestly somewhat like that idea except it happens almost every 20-30 steps and it’s really annoying since there are already ads. another thing is that sometimes the game glitches and there’s like 20 things in the screen at the time! it’s not a major issue but i honestly find that really annoying. some other things are that the quality of this game is just meh, and that’s not a big problem, the big problem is mostly the ads. i understand that of course, like every game or app has ads. but don’t put them everywhere! when people describe this game they’ll probably say, “it’s a good game but the ads are horrible” or something. i hope you guys fix the ad problem soon.

It teaches kids not to be happy for themselves which is awful! Also one of the decisions was like “what is your dinner?” And I chose something I like and it said wrong saying I have to only eat leaves. Also it was shining light on sexual harrasment because it made me go back when I chose that the sexual harassment made me uncomfortable. One of the questions had something to do with my body image and I said that I would post a pretty picture on Instagram and it said wrong so it’s teaching kids to not express that they like their body. Another question I got was “you find out the password to your boyfriends facebook account” and all the options were not ok, it also implies that they tried to figure it out and that’s apparently ok to this game. Another question was like “it’s time for your driving test” and all of them were illegal and that’s the last one I did because I didn’t know which was the right answer because they were all morally wrong it was like, bribe the instructor, drive without a license, or have your friend take the test for you, which are all illegal. It didn’t specify if you were going to fail, but just do your best wasn’t an option. And not only is it super inappropriate there were so many ads, like ads after every question. It’s just messed up, and you shouldn’t download this game.

So I just started playing this game and so I saw one of the reviews and thought (I could make a video on this..) because it was horrible So I decided not too because I wanted to try it out first.
So when I opened the game It said choose female or male I think?
So I started the game and I thought (This is horrible.) So I started off as a baby cause that’s how your supposed to start your life. I walked up the stairs. And so the first answer was “Your mom tells you to say mama.” And so I picked the answer that said “Mama” and my kindness level got up. So then there was another answer that said “Your teddy bear stares at you.” So the question I picked was “Cuddle it.” And so my level got up again. And the next question was “Your mom tells you eat your food.” So I saw that the questions there were saying “Throw up on her.” “Cover your mouth.” And I forgot the last question but..then I froze...I don’t know WHY the questions were saying that but I was mad then I turned into a child and there was this question that said “Ants take your favorite candy.” I was like-awww let the ants have the candy! But you won’t believe what happened when I saw the answers...- it said throw milk on them...eat the candy and the ants...and...I just got so FREAKING mad of this game that I deleted it right away.
I’LL NEVER ...EVER GET THIS GAME!! ITS HORRBLIE AND OFFENSIVE!!😡👎🏼

I’ve had StairwaytoHeaven for a couple hours now and have already completed everything it has to offer. There is no real goal. There’s no sense of achievement. At first I thought the idea was to get to heaven, but then I made it to heaven and realized that “demons” had destroyed bits of heaven and you had to go back and replay through multiply lives and collect coins in order to really complete the game. Even after finishing all of the lives available and decorating all the portions of heaven it just says “more areas coming soon.” It just feels like a sloppy execution with no point or real end goal. The ads are atrocious. I would say if you took out the ads there would probably only be 30 minutes of gameplay on StairwaytoHeaven tops, but the ads make it hard to really do anything. You have to watch ads to progress past two spaces, collect keys, get coins, pop bubbles, and even to do some upgrades in heaven. Oh also if you choose not to watch an ad on a “hell” space it can drag you back or take some of your coins. Maybe if the developers put as much time into the game as they did placing the ads they could actually have something fun or worthwhile. This was forgettable, a waste of time, and I regret taking moments I could’ve spent doing something else playing this game.

First of let’s talk about the ads. Every two choices there is an ad, most of which definitely not appropriate for 12+. The ad button doesn’t work when you want to watch one for something like a dog. There are choices where if you don’t watch an ad you go down 30 steps lose your money or even die which is just dumb. I could go on but you get the point.
Secondly the game is extremely racist and disrespectful to religion. Just the idea of the “Stairway To Heaven” is disrespectful and has been said in the Bible that’s not how you get to Heaven. Now on to the racist part of that. When you start there is no option for skin color and there are no colored people on the stairway.
Another thing is how inaccurate the gameplay is. Many people have gone over this so I will keep it short. For doing bad decisions you go down which is basically extending your life. The choices are not at the correct age at all. Also if you get a dog it is with you until you die so if you get a dog at 5 and live until 90 that dog is living for 85 years, and that happens often.
Overall this is just a stupid game for the devs to get quick cash. They don’t try to improve the game at all and probably look at no ratings.
Thank you for reading this and stay safe!

Judging by the reviews when i first got StairwaytoHeaven , i didnt think i was gonna be impressed, and i was right. About 70% of the game is completely just ads. You even need to watch an ad or else your money gets taken away which is not fair at all. It isnt even a game at this point. It’s just an ad farm. The choices and the game deciding if it was wrong or right was kind of weird and biased to me. One of the scenarios were “you see a good looking guy but you are with your fiance” and an option was “dont look, that is cheating” and another “look but hide it” so I chose that one because that isnt freaking cheating! You can look at people and support an attractive person without calling it cheating! And it pushes me back! Which is totally biased regarding what you do with your body sexually, also the scenario with your husband being in the shower with someone. You might be into it and not think it’s bad, and it really isn’t if you are comfortable with it, but the game doesn't give you that choice which is just really disappointing and not open minded at all. There is also no sort of diversity. No character customization, no choice of sexual orientation, just the same people. Had to delete this right after finishing it, it was that bad.

Okay, so the main thing I wanted to type down was well... the main gameplay of StairwaytoHeaven, yes I know it’s an app for kids but after I got the ads for this game, I kind of wanted to check it out, and......... BOY WAS I NOT DISAPPOINTED! First off, there are where too many ads, the gameplay is practically “Hi! Welcome to the game, choose your gender, now choose your character. Perfect! Now up to heaven you go! Oh, first question, what a wond- AN AD HAS INVADED, okay up the steps!” Question, AD, up the steps, question, ad, up the steps, question, ad. I think you get it at this point, another thing that irritated me (irritated is a smarter way of saying annoyed, sorry I had to) was the fact that it took several minutes just to get to the kid stage, the game was honestly pretty boring, now onto the positive things I guess, this game can be a pretty good “time killer” if you have nothing to do, the background character designs are interesting to say the least, and I think with time this game can become a pretty good game. Sorry if this was a huge thing to read I do the “one hundred word review challenge” every time a make a review on a game.

Saw this on an ad and decided to try it but the actual game is much more different than how it looked on the ad. The amount of ads StairwaytoHeaven has is beyond me. These ads I am receiving are not appropriate for my age, and an ad pops up about every 30 seconds. Based on the disgusting ads I have received, I do not think they should have the age to play as 12+. It doesn’t let me watch ads to have a dog or coins, when I click watch ad it just doesn’t work. Events are a little off and not matching the age when given the age these things are being done at. Just one example of this is kissing as a child or drinking at a young age, but there is much more I am not going in depth to explain. They take ALL of your money if you don’t choose to watch an ad. I didn’t even finish the steps to get there before deleting StairwaytoHeaven because of how bad it was. Ridiculous. Waste of time.. deleted StairwaytoHeaven a few minutes after downloading. Also, this is the thing that really made StairwaytoHeaven terrible: they are VERY racist. I saw no black people in the staircase.. not one at all. Other people in reviews have mentioned this as well. Every race needs representation. And to have a literal staircase to heaven is disrespectful to religion.

The only good thing is it was a bit of a time killer. There are A LOT wrong with this game. First, it’s ads are terrible. Any decision gets u an ad and there are lots of decisions. Sometimes you suffer if I choose not to watch an ad like lose money, die, etc. Even when you refuse a reward because of an ad, you still get an ad. You basically get the punishment no matter what. Second, the game gets boring fast. The decisions have little impact. You make a bad decision and go down a few steps, you can hold it for a second and go back to where you were. Not to mention the ad after that decision takes time. There are also random trivia that just waste time as well. Third, the game lacks diversity in other characters. Only white people on the stairway. Either they are too lazy to make a character a few shades darker, or any minority goes to hell in their universe.

If you want to live your life full of decisions, play bitlife. Forget the religious stuff and you have freedom. It has ads, but they aren’t constant and you can just pay for no ads and other rewards. You have several lifes and can do different things to see their impact. And you get a random character from all around the world.

Like everyone else said the ads are ridiculous but I know you’ve heard it a lot so I’ll just stop there. But this game is disrespectful in some ways and almost racist if you look at it in others. You can’t pick your skin color or partner or even have a goal in life. Your born, go up steps, and die. The order of your life doesn’t make any sense. I’m going to party’s with alcohol when I’m a young teen and can’t drive. Im getting hit on and inappropriately touched when I’m no older then 14. I’m 90 years old and the dog I had since I was 10 is still by my side. Sweet but so not true. And I don’t get it, when you make a bad decision you go down steps,... so your teaching children if you do bad things you’ll live longer?! Like what?! If anything you should be going up steps. When it said your friends were having drinks at there party and if you had some you would go down steps. So your saying if you have drugs you’ll live longer?! No! Overall I liked the idea of this game were you could choose answers and go through life but it’s all so pointless and a waste of time.

Now, I had no expectations for StairwaytoHeaven, but this is the most ad heavy horrible game I’ve ever come across. Even with purchasing “no ads” there is a mandatory (and mostly unskipable) 30 sec ad about every 10 seconds. I’ve watched the same ad over and over more than I’ve played the game. What a joke. I’m trying to figure out how to get a refund on the ‘no ads.’ It mentions that it only means the banner ads AFTER you buy. The settings don’t work either. I turned off sounds, and it still plays. What’s worse is that it won’t allow me to play sound in the background, so all I can do is listen to the ads or sound effects. The quiz answers are wrong often too. They either completely omit a correct answer or repeat answers. Nowhere does it explain this (or anything for that matter) being a gameplay feature so it seems like a bug. I never even bother with refunds, but this was such a poorly developed waste of time it shouldn’t even be on StairwaytoHeaven store for being so misleading. It’s such an obvious and frustrating cash grab it comes off as a scam. You know, you should provide your consumers with SOME value even if you’re incompetent and greedy.

First things first, the story doesn’t add up. It said I became an adult, then it said I had to get a driver’s license but before that, it said I drove to a concert. Also, I like that you did add some new genders but, there are other genders out there too. This is 2020. Also, could you add actual jobs. Not just being a celebrity or something. There are people walking all around you with different unique jobs, but we don’t get to choose the job. I just wish you could choose your lifestyle. For example, if you could choose your partner or skin color, that would be a lot better. Another thing is, the basic woman and man don’t really have a goal in life. I think this game would be more realistic if you could choose what you want to do for that life. Without going through the storyline that doesn’t really make sense, and not having a choice in what you look like, your gender, your skin color, your partner, or your job. To end it off, I’m really not trying to be negative, I just think this game needs a few changes. That way it’ll be more entertaining and relatable for people who download this game.

I was downloading StairwaytoHeaven thinking it was good and I chose female the. I went up some steps an ad came up and it it wasent even a good ad for my age ad when I’m a teenager I come up to a step and guess what it said “You have a crush on your best friends gf” and that’s not good for people like me who is 12 - 13 and it would be nice if you could add some more features to this game like being able to choose your partner and skin color so onto the point this game is just for a quick money grab so I suggest not downloading it and everyone has said this IT HAS SO MANY ADS I’m so annoyed by that and why was there no black people that’s just racist and it should let u choose how you act like a path plus that’s not the way to get into heaven that’s in the Bible wich makes it even more racist and the reason why I have it a 1 star rating cause it’s not appropriate for my age AT ALL like I said it’s a quick money grab from people so I suggest you in instal StairwaytoHeaven well that’s it for my little review and if you don’t agree with me that’s fine with me this is just my opinion on StairwaytoHeaven thanks for taking your time to read this is your still here!

This game is pointless, there’s so much ads for NOTHING! For example whenever I say “no thanks” to an award that needs an ad I STILL GET ONE. And plus even if I said yes to everything there is still no point. As might as well call this “stairway to hell”. Look, I’m sorry if I offended any creators of this game but this ad thing NEEDS TO STOP. And I find it incredible that you need to pay money to stop ads. I’m not saying that all ad removal should be free but in this case with like 1 ad every 10 seconds it’s unbelievable!
This is also really offensive. Look I’m not a strict churchgoer nor am I to crazy over religion, but this is offensive. For example there a some claims in this game that are not true at all in the Bible or real life. And honestly this is 2020 I mean c’mon! There’s only white people in the game! Now with all of these looters and the BLM thing goin on this is not a great time to not put any African Americans. You guys are excluding people (not on purpose).
Look, the point is that there are so much ads in the game and that you should put some African Americans. If any of you guys/girls are reading this, I just wanna say thanks for your time!
Stay safe during COVID-19

I played it yesterday and it was pretty fun! I played so I can become a good person but yesterday I was having so much fun then today whenever I pick a choice that I chose correctly and went up steps it let’s me go down! It go back to that question and picked a different option and it pushed me down steps again! Even if it is the choice I chose yesterday then I chose the bad chose that sound obviously rude and disrespectful then I still go down I chose every choice in the question! It still makes me fall down steps! It’s not fun today but it was yesterday and there are SO MANY ADS! I don’t like ads nobody likes ads and this game makes no sense! When you do something bad YOU LIVE LONGER? What the heck?! No! Makes no sense! So it is like when you do good things YOU DIE FASTER? When you do bad things YOU LIVE LONGER? Like it makes NO sense! Are you telling kids that when you do bad stuff you live longer?! And when you do good things you die faster?! How the actual detention terror shock?! This game makes no sense!

I think the game is amazing and I like how your actions can affect the results. The one thing I don’t like about the game is the ads. It’s like after 2 decisions I have to watch the same ads over and over again. That’s boring and annoying. If I like the game, I would have already downloaded it. Also, it can be annoying to play the game because I feel like I am spending more time on the ads than the game. I get really nervous after I made a decision because I’m afraid there might be another ad. If you can make the ads less, then the game would be really popular and you can even add purchasing items too. For example, you can have the user pay money to get more keys. Other than that, the game is amazing and if you can just make the ads less, it will be super. I hope you can consider my suggestions and I really recommend the game to everyone. ( just make the ads less please, it would mean a lot to us)
