A Slight Chance of Sawblades Reviews

Occasionally when i play, the left arrow button fails to work and makes me go still. Even when i press hard but this only happens mid-game. though ive even changed the size and position of my buttons so it is not a human issue though it can possibly be my phone? this never happens with other games tho. especially when there id a joystick foryour left thumb. a joystick in this game would be a good idea though rn you can slide your thumb to move between the arrows. a proper joystick would include a center non moving element too. i would like to see that.

I was immediately charmed by the simplicity of the gameplay and graphics, and how when you successfully jump over multiple blades it gives buenos points. Coupled with the 5-second limited ads, and I loved it. However, you don’t get many spendable coins per match—sometimes none, depending on how quickly you die. This didn’t seem like much of an issue at first, when a new character is 10 coins and new blades/backgrounds are 50. But then you find out that the price increases with each unlock, and it immediately feels frustrating and grindy. If buying the game meant I got coins faster or it took away the increasing cost, I’d jump on it.

I gotta say, the core gameplay to this game is great. It’s fast paced and difficult which makes it a ton of fun! There are a couple of things I’d like to see fixed or added to it before I give it 5 stars tho. Landscape mode is poorly implemented with my iPhone 14 Pro making it impossible to play on. I’d love to see power-ups or something that changes the gameplay just a bit during the later stages as it gets more difficult. Great game! Can’t wait to see what improvements you come up with.

It’s a simple challenge, and becoming more skilled is rewarding. I just somehow was awarded/discovered a new hard mode which has made me feel very accomplished! The new mode blows my mind, because it still works, like I still intuitively know when I will live and die based on my jump!

I usually struggle with getting addicted to video games, but for this game it didn’t happen which is a good thing.

Major draw back is that tickets are earned in a linear fashion. Even if you get higher scores you still get the same number of tickets. Even the hard mode has the same number of tickets. But unlocking stuff is just for looks so it’s not too important.

I’ve played this game for a little over a week now and it’s very fun. It’s also quite hard too, I mean my high score is only 38 but it’s still a game that I’ll always come back to. Not only that but the ads, in short, are amazing. The longest ad on this game is 5 seconds long and sometimes it will just be a singular image that you can tap out of immediately. I love the little characters too they look so cute. Definitely give this game a try, but be careful because it is hard.

Love the game, it’s extremely addicting and challenging. I would like to suggest a way to earn tickets by watching ads, because after buying enough cosmetics, it gets way to expensive and grindy, so giving the players another source of tickets would be a good way to balance that out. Or maybe just a daily login reward. I also think that giving players more tickets in the harder game modes is a good option.

The concept of the game is really fun and gives me a hint of nostalgia and that it’s really addicting and that it’s been the only game I’ve been eyeing as other games tend to require a lot of attention and consists of a lot of ads. While this game does have ads, it’s not that many and that you can always purchase the pass so that it can be ad free. Either way, it’s just really addicting and I haven’t been able to find a game this good.

The title might be cheesy but I really mean it. As someone who’s diving into the world of game development I’m impressed with how polished the game feels. I have just a few critiques I’d like to give.

1. The game felt a little too difficult at first. Maybe it was intentional, but I tend to be pretty good at these types of games and it took quite a while to get above 15 lol.

2. Unlocking characters and saws takes forever! I haven’t played a ton (probably no more than 5 hrs), but I feel like I’d play a little more if characters were a little easier to unlock.

3. I really like the menus but it can be a little confusing to navigate at first.

4. I’m on iPhone X and when I swipe up to exit or switch apps, it automatically hits a button (not a big deal but it can accidentally start, resume, restart, etc.)

First, I really like this game. The simple gameplay is enjoyable and learning how to get better is also great and fun. My recommendation is that the developers add more components to the game, like different game modes so that we aren’t stuck with the same kind of thing the whole time. It’s fun, but the repetitive nature can make it boring :/
I think exploring other ways the game can be played would be useful, like adding levels or making an obby/parkour type mode :)

Hey this is a great game 5 stars there is just 2 things that could make the game better 1. When you jump over a saw blade there is a delay were it like has a 2 or 3 second delay before it like explodes and this really messes me up 2. i would love if the left and right arrows are moved a little bit further away and make the game longer like instead of thinner if you know what I mean like sideways Great game just this could make it better

What if there was some kind of arcade mode where you can select how many lives you want (from 1 to 10 maybe) then you see how long you can last until you lose all your lives? Or what about a zen mode where you have 5 minutes but everytime you get hit by a saw you lose 15 seconds then everytime you jump over a saw you gain 5 more seconds. Idk these are just suggestions though (By the way this game is super awesome and addicting, download it now)

I love the game, I play it to ease my mind actually. And it’s super fun! I was thinking that it would be cool if there was an average calculator. So every time you play your score affects your average. I play a lot of games and get a lot of good scores and a lot of terrible scores. And I think it’s would be cool if you got rewarded some how by getting higher scores even if it’s not a new recorded and get penalized for getting very low scores. And idk if you’d get like in game rewards but at least seeing that number would motivate me to get higher scores. Because it’s not so often that I beat my high score. But this way you still have something to work on while your playing.

Hey really great game! One thing though is that I think how you get points are…odd. It’s already quite hard getting points as it is, I believe it’s every ten shiny things you get one point, then each time you buy something the next time you buy it like let’s say a character was 45 next time it’ll be 50. Please make it easier to get points! It could be changing how you get points or the values of the characters/sawblades. Now I will rate you a 5/5 because I understand your method in doing this.

It being a mobile game I can’t really be better also can you add a level editor type thing were there’s a timer and platforms that people can make and you make it so that the SAWBLADES have a set path that isn’t rng idk highly recommend this game pls respond developer or developers idk how many people make this game also pls add a level editor you don’t have to add all of my ideas but it would be nice if you noticed this sorry for the messines PS you could add a different mode that’s like the other game you made not the bunny one The other one

This game has LOTS of potential
But I have a few problems, mostly with the controls. Perhaps remove the space around the game except for where the buttons are, to make the gameplay more visible. Maybe have touch controls on the bottom half of the screen. Look, I don’t really know how to describe it, but look at a game like brawl stars, when movement controls are on the left side of the screen and the action (jump) button is on the right side. In this game, the controls will always be on your finger as long as you are on its respective side. Another example is the game “slayin’” where the control scheme is basically the same. Of course “slayin’” is a paid game, so you may not be able to see that but there are videos online.

Overall I’m just saying make the gameplay screen larger and the buttons easier to press.

Still, a really fun game, I have only played for around half an hour but fun game man. 👍

No im not lying this game is awesome and I genuinely have no flaws most free games are annoying not fun and bombard you with ads but this game doesn’t do that,now it does have ads but they are really charming in the way that they are presented, it says “and now a word from our sponsors” and then you get prompted with a button that says to play a ad, the game has everything you could want, a fun game play loop, and really appealing art style, and not so frequent ad breaks, so yeah one of my favorite free to play games on the Apple Store and is “seriously underrated”

I got this game yesterday and can’t stop playing it. I do have some suggestions though. I feel like different types of blades should come down the further you go getting harder and harder. There should be different backgrounds you can unlock from the mystery ball things. It would be nice to be able to tap where you want to go in the menu without being force to use the controls you gave us to navigate. there should be quests we can do to get more points to keep replay ability. that’s all my suggestions i’ll continue to play this game i’m glad i found this hidden treasure.

I love this game. It is challenging to start and the slow progression is satisfying. With that being said, it needs more features. I would love to know a timeline on when the new features will be coming. I think there is a lot that can be added here. Most simply being a “challenges mode” where goals are based on saws dodged, or special modes like low gravity etc. I also think that you can expand on the gameplay as far as saws. It would be interesting to add power ups like invincibility or super jump etc.

Would love to hear what you have planned and by when, considering the game as is, has become very boring

I absolutely love this game and was first introduced late 2022/early 2023 but never really played it bc I had no reason, but a 9 hour flight overseas forced me to open the game and upon initial play I became a little frustrated, but that’s actually good bc most other games that don’t require service are usually super easy off the bat which can lead to boredom quickly. It did take a little bit to get half decent at the game and when I finally mastered the techniques it became extremely addicting. This one of the first mobile games that I’ve actually really enjoyed and I can tell the dev(s) have put hard work to make the game the way it is. Thanks!

The game is super addicting and fun but one thing you can add would be adding a decimal to the end of your tickets as you can gain only decimals and it would just make it a lot easier to see how much i need and just a quality of life change. Thanks for making this game!

Edit: another change that could be cool is if you could make phantom mode more rewarding to play cause for now it’s just for fun add like a reward or something please!!
