Skyward Reviews

TL:DR Played for 5 minute and wasn't interested enough to play even 99 cents to remove the ads.
There are more ads than game. The looks like it tried to shove as many ads as it could all over the place. During the game, after several level plays, on the menu, there probably more places I didn't list....but they are everywhere. To be fair, for 99 cents you can remove the ads. I assume all of them... But it's hard to believe they could find all of them to remove and I'm sure the one on them menu would still be there. It's a button that you have no idea what it is until after you push it.
Ok, what about game. You are two circles, one is stationary while the other loops you twice, the second time it will start to diminish, so you have to place it on a floor or wall before it goes away. The seemingly random generated building floats in open air, and gives you one or twice paths to select but if you miss the path the game ends and gives you a count of how many steps you made. The are several power downs to disrupt any rhythm you are have along with the changes to perceived perspective.

I enjoy this game, and don't get me wrong, I love most of Ketchapp's games, but it has been a recurring problem that pop-up ads or something else will cause glitches that cause you to lose the round. I have a lot of other apps by them and in all of them, ads for other games will come up while I'm playing(this should not be happening), and the game doesn't pause, causing my game to end numerous times. Often, the game will glitch for no reason as well, and I will automatically lose even if I didn't touch anything. Otherwise, the game is great, so please fix this🙏

The game is incredibly addicting and fun, but it bothers me when an ad pops up in the middle of the game. Accidentally clicking on them is fairly easy, even during the game, thus interrupting needed focus. Although it gives an option to remove ads, it never states the price, so im a bit iffy on wether or not to remove them. Lots of games have ads, but they go a little over the top when they sneak them between every play (It can get incredibly annoying). All other ketchapp games have this downer as well, which is a shame considering their games are very well made. Other than the advertising though, the game is very fun and addicting, just watch out for those sneaky ad pests;)

So it took me a little while to fully understand the 3D ness of the game due to the fact that you would think that the shape would change when it was on a side. However, once I got it down, I got it down... Been progressing ever sense. Yes, the ads are annoying and I understand how they are trying to "pay" for the development of the game but there are more than I've seen on most free games. Hence the one star less.. Otherwise, great game.

This is my favorite game on my phone!!!! It is so simple, yet challenging! I'm now addicted!!! I don't know what everyone else is talking about, the ads are no problem for me. I only get small ads at the bottom of the page, no pop up ones. If you do have that problem, just turn off your wifi, and it will keep the adds from popping up, I would think. So all in all this game gets a 6 out of 5 stars from me. I hope you'll enjoy it as much as I am!!! 😘🤗😏😆🤓😚😂😋😊🙃😙😛🤑

I have SEVERE anxiety linked to a puking phobia. I unfortunately live in NYC for college and need to use the subway a few times a week. I DREAD the subway. But this game is one of the few things that have saved me from DOZENS of panic attacks. I put on a binaural beat I have downloaded and play this and I'm better within a few minutes. Every time. I have NEVER reviewed a game like this before, but I had to incase anyone else out there has anxiety and is looking for a game to help attacks. This one WORKS.

I hardly write reviews when Devs do a good job. But people have to know. There are too many ads. So many it disrupts the "flow", causes glitches, makes me lose. Please, there has got to be another way. I understand the developer needs a way to recoup their time and this seems to be an interesting game but the ads are so annoying. And don't like how it doesn't tell me why I need to purchase something - to remove the ads! I needed to view Skyward Store to understand how much it would cost. Please lighten up on the ads or just change it to a pay app and not waste my time. There is a way to leverage IAP and this is not it.

Recently I've had a lot to worry about, especially since I'm starting junior year tomorrow. I've discovered this game a couple months ago, and I'm glad I started playing it again recently. It eases my anxiety over school with its calming music and helps take my mind off school to focus on making two dots walk across some squares, as silly as that sounds. Thank you for making Skyward. It's really helped me.

This is such a fun game. Not only is it addictive , but it allows you to work on quick reaction time.

It should be noted though, if your phone isn't good at handling graphic games, this game might end up being frustrating more than anything.

I know this first hand when I used to have my iPhone 4S, because it was old and not good at handling graphic games it would lag. For this game that is the last thing you want; lag. For this reason, I'd advise that if you think your phone may lag I wouldn't download it.
Not because it's not fun, but it won't be for you. If you understand the concept of this game you'll understand why lagging is the last thing you want.

As for the game itself, it's fun, intriguing, engaging, and keeps the mind going.

I love this game, and I play it almost everyday. Some people complain about the “ads”, but I almost never have had any ads. There’s only been one screen ad after I open the game, but other than that, there have been no ads, video, banner, or otherwise. Very relaxing game, the music is nice and soothing. Gameplay is simple, but I’m not complaining. 10/10 Would recommend!

It was worth the dollar to play without ads. I can't imagine the game with them. I like the randomized puzzle sections too.

I feel a beginner mode could possibly help ease people into such a unique, or perhaps uniquely executed, mechanic that plays with 3-Dimensional space in a matter that extends outside of normal boundaries/perceptions.

I got about 20 seconds in and had to exit out of roughly 5 ads. Screw that noise. If you like trying to find the hidden x to close ads with some annoying game that pops up every so often where you have to fail, look at it for a couple of seconds or make a single step with the dots then this is for you! Also if you are having a hard time finding out what the name of that one app is who's cover photo is the spitting image of The Governator, look no further! This ad simulator will definitely cycle trough enough of them until you find it :)

Although this game is conceptually great, the ads at the bottom cause glitches (skipping/freezing) when they change, which can cause you to lose a round. This corners you into buying the ad-free version if you don't want glitches, but no price for this is given, so you don't know what your iTunes account is being charged. In my opinion, you should not need to purchase a glitch-free version; a quality game will come that way.

People will spend $60 for a PS or Xbox game but $.99 is too much to spend to remove ads from a game you call awesome?!? Go cry in your pablum!

Great game and ad free for less than a buck!!!

Oh and btw...turning off wifi may make the ads smaller but youre using cell data. If you werent connected at all the ads wouldnt be worth displaying.

I can play the game without having to worry about how fast it's gonna go or have to use so much strategy. I can just play the game at my pace. And it's relaxing because I don't have to stress into trying to keep the ball in a line or try and keep myself from getting in a trap.

I feel like the standard in mobile gaming today is to create endless platformers that are intentionally too difficult to complete. This particular endless platformer strikes the perfect balance between "this is tough!" and "I bet I'll do better next time."

Fun. Not mean. Definitely recommended.

This was kind of entertaining for awhile, but then they started getting WAAAY more aggressive with the "Wouldn't you like to pay .99 to get rid of the ads?" to try to get you to pay for the game. I'm fine with that up to a point. But when instead of asking, it results in Apple's Touch ID screen suddenly popping up on its own to authorize payment, without any request on my part to do so, mmm...NO! I find that rather offensive, and I've had enough.

Success of the game depends on when and where you tap, and for left-handed people this can be extremely frustrating, as the levels often go left to right (you'll understand if you're a leftie) and you can't always see where you're tapping. It wouldn't be that big of a deal if the game weren't against the clock: playing an action at the wrong moment gets you killed. Easily. But hey, the game is free, and if you're right-handed it's probably a lot easier.

This game's concept is simple. But challenging and at time frustrating. I like that it is easy to pick up and play anytime. And still easy to put down. Give it a few attempts and you will know if it will be a game you will turn to for boring times.

I love this game cause it seems pretty fun not boring the adds are tiny cause all ya gotta do fam is tUrN oFf ThE wIfI and no adds will bother you anymore. Anyways I love this game so much!!! I don’t know what to say to you. You already made me addicted to this gaME!!!!!! So yeah that’s what I wanted to say! Bai!!
