Solid game, that's fundamentally flawed
TheHigglyBoson
As can be gathered by the majority of other reviews, the positives of this game are quite clear, it's beautiful, has focused, quick, accessible game play and feels great to play in general. However, there is a major flaw that most people seem to fail in addressing, and unfortunately it nearly ruins the game and that's the simple fact that it is clear the game was not intended to extend much past level 5. This results in gameplay that not only becomes very suddenly unreasonably difficult, but will at times make the required maneuvers impossible. Add on top of this, that the game does not allow you to practice certain level difficulties and the game at this point is essentially reduced to an exceptionally boring grind of levels 1-5 (which are really easy) so I can get to level 6 which is the one I need to work on, but level 6 is clearly designed in an impossible manner to get past. I'm giving this game three stars because while it is broken as stated above, it's nothing that can't easily be fixed with a quick update, otherwise this game has everything it needs to be amazing. Fix the impossible levels and add a practice mode so players can practice on stand alone level difficulties to avoid the matter of wasting the majority of time on the levels leading up to the one you want to work on. With these two updates the game would be a five star.
Just Great Fun!

Great game! Great design. Simple controls. Good level progression. Good music. Loads of fun. Just a great job by the creators. But is level 6 impossible?

Basically have my whole high school addicted to this game. We have competitions on who can get the farthest. So far everyone is enjoying it especially after all the exams we've been taking.

The arrows should go the way they point not just in a full rotation. Other than that its a good game.
Fix level 6

This game kept me really engaged, at first. It's a very fun, fast paced game. And while the controls were hard to get used to; once I did, the game got to be a lot of fun. However, as another player mentioned on his/her review; it feels like the game wasn't designed for anyone to make it past level 6. It was hard to level 6. But now it feels so easy and boring to get there. I can't go more than 5 rings without crashing, once there. If this is corrected and the levels become increasingly, while remaining realistically harder; this will make the game more enjoyable, and should help to keep players engaged for longer. I'll wait until the next update before deleting the game; because I really enjoyed it. Hopefully this is taken in consideration.

5 stars. Addicting. Rage inducing. Competitive. I've made it to level 9. Honestly should be a 4 star because high scores isn't working for me but that's not vital to the game play.
Epic Gameplay, Needs Tutorial?

This is a very challenging but super fun infinite-obstacle game (and the main version is completely for free, with 0 ads!!!). For people wondering/complaining about controls: They have to do with Rotating around the tube you are traveling through. The controls are divided into the 2 sides of the screen, and a simple touch moves your line depending on where your finger is: Right = Counterclockwise Left = Clockwise Things that could be improved are pretty minor. The only suggestion I have is that the scoring system could be more detailed than just the level you get to I think (because it leads to so many ties in Game Center). Maybe you could do the greatest level you reached multiplied by the number of gates you passed through? As far as the Linemaker update, I think it's a fun alternative to the gate system. It's less predictable and quickly becomes challenging as time goes on.
A perfect, fast challenge

I love this game, even if I can't beat stage 5 (yet). Do not change the controls, they are tight and consistent and quick to learn. And please do not add a tutorial, this game is perfectly made to teach you through the gameplay, and is meant to live fast and die fast. You will fail a lot, but there is almost no time wasted before you are back in it, allowing you to improve and learn as you go. It may not be for everyone, but it is perfect at being what it wants to be.
