Its alright!
The graphics are pretty nice and there is definitely some interesting gameplay in there. It just tends to be hidden by the huge amount of mindless filler and pointless loading times.
So many of the levels are the same, mindless pressing the button to move on, no challenges or surprises. I am writing this review because Im pretty sure Ive just played the exact same level I played about 10 levels beforehand (and Im not even that far through the game).
This would all be ok if the loading times werent so over the top and we could just get on with it. I mean, what even needs to be loaded from level to level? Its the same graphics, music, sounds, everything every time (so far at least). Surely all that needs to be loaded is the "map" which should be a microsecond process, not sending us back to a loading screen. And this is on the iPhone 5S.
Overall, cool concept with waayy too much filler and the loading times are hugely over the top. I would have rated it 3 stars if there werent so many 5 star reviews already..
