HOW SURE ARE WE
Not in any grossing chart, so this comes from ratings growth (5.1 new ratings a month on average since launch): revenue grows with new ratings, more slowly for apps that collect ratings fast. Tested on 418 apps with verified revenue: typically off by about 2 times, and big earners tend to come out low. Countries we don't track (and Google Play in China, which doesn't exist) aren't included, and neither are ads or web payments. Gross revenue before store fees.

WHAT THEY COMPLAIN ABOUT · SHARE OF BAD REVIEWS
Crashes and freezes31%

5 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ Freezing on Apple TV all of the sudden.
★★★★★ Sometimes your character gets stuck on the monster so it's instant game over.
★★★★★ This game is awesome, but once I complete the game, it freezes on launch every time.
Worse after an update19%

3 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ Update 12/2/19 - Just tried again to play this game, but nope, buttons are still horribly placed and impossible to see the screen.
★★★★★ One star though because the game freezes on a fully updated iPhone 7 when using Game Center.
★★★★★ Hopefully there's an update soon that flushes some of this out.
No customer support19%

3 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ Supports controllers, but only the PS4/Xbox ones. Very annoying. Would not have bought it if I knew, but it's misleadingly labeled online.
★★★★★ Why doesn't this game support controllers?
★★★★★ Says it supports iOS controllers but my MFI official Nimbus+ won't work with it. Huh? So I haven't got to play it to test it out. I bought it with the intention of playing with the controller and I'm sure not going to…
Bugs, things not working13%

2 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ Backbone controller doesn't work on it and it's listed to have controller support.
★★★★★ Haven't seen controls this bad since the first few years of the App Store. I cant beat Boss 1 on Level 1 because the game hangs. Check out the other reviews - they have the same problem.
Price and subscription13%

2 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ Save your money and don't buy this below average joke of a game
★★★★★ Complete waste of time and money!

Fun, addictive22%

6 of the 4 and 5 star reviews.

★★★★★ If you enjoy old school side scrollers then I definitely recommend picking this one up.
★★★★★ However this is a fun remake and it's awesome that I can switch to the original graphics and sound on the fly.
★★★★★ This is a beautiful and fun game.

★★★★★ This is a beautiful and fun game.
★★★★★ Great game. Takes me back to the old day especially with the 8bit(I think) mode lol. Keeping it classic while literally keeping it classic!! Great Job guys. Now make The old Goonies 2(but is really goonies one and…
★★★★★ First and foremost the art/animation for this game is gorgeous.
Great support15%

4 of the 4 and 5 star reviews.

★★★★★ This is a really solid game that has full controller support.
★★★★★ Please add support for other popular controllers.
★★★★★ Okay so first off before they even added the update to give Xbox One and PS4 controller support, my Xbox controller was already working with it!
Easy to use7%

2 of the 4 and 5 star reviews.

★★★★★ Not only has the game been released with modern graphics and sound, but with a simple swipe I can switch to 8 bit mode!
★★★★★ It is of course not as simple to play it on iPhone, but i am sure developers can figure out better way to control the characters, it is pretty hard to play the game but this is just first release and we will probably…

Needs fixed.

My PS5 controller isn’t working with the game.

Really Solid Game

This is a really solid game that has full controller support. It can be difficult at times, but it always seems fair. If you enjoy old school side scrollers then I definitely recommend picking this one up.

★★★★★Apr 5, 2025
Exquisite

This game is everything my 9-year-old self could have never imagined. The team that updated this game handled everything lovingly and with such wonderful attention to detail. It was such a delight to go back in time, and then to have the whole game reimagined—and to have both versions accessible at the touch of a button on my controller was the icing on the cake. Thank you for bringing this game back to life for me.

很棒的遊戲！希望改進遊戲雲存档

Controller support

Game is awesome, I never played the original and have no nostalgia or love for the series. However this is a fun remake and it’s awesome that I can switch to the original graphics and sound on the fly. My main and only gripe is that I can’t play it with my MFI Razer Kishi. Please add support for other popular controllers. Frankly since it’s an MFI controller I’m surprised that it doesn’t already work. Apparently DS4 and xbox controllers are all that work. Backbone doesn’t seem to work either.

★★★★★Apr 15, 2021
Amazing....trip down memory lane

This was my favorite game when I was like 12. I downloaded it and am blown away by the quality.....it actually is better than I remember the original - what a great job they have done....what a surprise....this game was and is excellent - cool story....hopefully they are working on Wonderboy in Monsterland!

Store description

Boasting beautiful, hand-drawn animations and a re-orchestrated soundtrack, the cult classic returns with a unique blend of exploration, action, and adventure! Cursed into a half-human, half-lizard monstrosity by the Meka-Dragon, you are in search for a cure! The only way you can return to human form is to find the Salamander Cross, a magical item with the power to remove curses... With each dragon slain, the curse intensifies, transforming you into different animals! Explore large, interconnected locations populated with grumpy monsters and exotic dragons! Play as the game’s classic character, Hu-Man, or as his brand-new, long-awaited co-star Hu-Girl. You can also inhabit Lizard-Man, Mouse-Man, Piranha-Man, Lion-Man, and Hawk-Man, and use their unique abilities to uncover the land’s deepest secrets. Enjoy 3 difficulty levels catering to players of all types, and switch from modern graphics and sound to 8-bit graphics/audio at any time - even during gameplay!
