Reviews
Can’t believe they are trying to make me subscribe to an app I already bought.

I bought this app years ago way back when iPod touches were popular. It is probably my favorite mobile game to date. So I was excited when I saw I could get it for iPad. It’s ridiculous to me though that they are trying to make me buy a subscription to an app I already payed for. It would be one thing if I had payed for the app and they made it free. At least then I’d still be supporting the developers. But this is just some greedy company trying to make money off of other people’s work. I could even deal with the ads but they only let you play a few minutes before there is an unskippable pay wall. Hopefully they will let people who have purchased the app get the whole game without subscribing to their stupid service sometime soon.
Gunny and Hookbot Upgrades bug
Bdids
Near the end of the game, Gunny is absolutely necessary to beat the Rat Levels and Hatbox levels. Unfortunately, with the Gameclub release, Gunny’s updates are showing as unavailable. The game can not be completed. Update: Gameclub bug still unresolved, Gunny is unavailable even after unlocking gold bull and gold frog trophies. Update 2.0: the Gameclub devs are super responsive and committed to releasing quality games. 5/5 stars. Would give 10 stars if possible. Thank you for your quick response and commitment to bringing back nostalgic games!!!
BEWARE

YOU WILL LOSE DAYS OF YOUR LIFE TO THIS GAME But don't worry, you wouldn't have been doing anything better anyway. I haven't played a more addictive iPhone game yet - the achievements, the leaderboards, the challenges all keep me coming back for more. And my god, the hats! I'm only thankful that Rocketcat hasn't updated to support the iPad natively - I'd never sleep. Update: with native iPad support and 64-bit updates from GameClub, my life is ruined again in the most wonderful way. Thanks for keeping the classics alive, I am ever grateful.
It’s back!

This game has been sitting on my iPad now for a few years, unable to play. I kept it hoping one day it would receive an update and it finally has!! My favourite game by far! Happy days ahead
Utterly unique.

Come in for the console-throwback graphics, stay for the ridiculously deep gameplay.
Definitely worth a look! But get rid of the OF sign.

1-Please take the OpenFeint logo out, it looks ugly on the icon. Have it like Cell War or something. The rounded OF look is kind of terrible. I'm just a little picky. Worth the buy, better get it before it rises to three dollars (worth the money even at five dollars). The game could get some getting used to, as you progress through the levels and upgrading (nice touch). The upgrades also add a lot of reply value as you have to collect coins and upgrade to finish a level or improve your score. Definitely worth checking, good for all fans, including those who love retro graphics ;-) Still worth playing. Need to finish that last Rat Idol level, and on to Skull levels, then the new levels.. *sigh* 2-Please take the OpenFeint logo out, it looks ugly on the icon :P Really. 3- Same as 1 & 2.
Excellent - gives PSP/DS a serious run for their money

This game is just great. It's in my top 5 favorite iPhone games ever released.
Difficult
KoltonC
The gold talisman on the lava level is ridiculous. I can't beat it and it makes me want to throw my phone. Really fun until the game gets way too difficult.

I play the crap out of my iPhone games and there is still yet to be a game better than this! I'm extremely competitive. Please! GET THIS ADDED TO GAME CENTER
Used to be good

I got this game when it first came out. Since then they've taken out all the best stuff like the special hook and rope for each character and the coin vacuum and other things its not near as fun as it was having to go back and get the coins is really annoyying And you can beat the hatbox level with hookbox all of them
