I heard about this game during gdc2017 #1ReasonToBe session. Hearing stories how Rasheed ended up making this game made me reconsider bout what actually determines category of game. Presentation in this game is really great, I love it
Really important. Beautiful. Sad.

As others have noted, this isn't a traditional 'game'. It's more important than that, as it puts you through real events that give you at least some impression of what it is like to be a civilian family living in a war zone. You don't play it because it is fun, you play it to try to understand, and learn its story.
Pure propaganda

It would be nice if they included the stories of all the Israeli girls blown up by Palestinian suicide bombers. This is nothing but pure one-sided crap that doesn't even stay truthful to the actual figures. I'd rate this zero stars if I could.
Just another bad propaganda game

I was put onto this game by Checkpoint and it's interesting history with the Apple store, but my opinion started dropping at the first screen. It said this game is "based on real events," which is a phrase I take with a grain of salt so large it could keep all of the meat in Isreal salted for the next year. Especially since the buttons are apparently not based on real players hands, gravity seems to be based on the moon rather than Earth, and this is a platformer. Also it's hard to get invested in the separation between a father and his daughter when it takes less than 5 seconds to get to where the daughter was when he told her to run away. In the end, even though this game takes only 5 minutes to finish, it's just another propaganda game whose message is lost because the gameplay is so bad.
Mmhm meh prop.

Maybe will be good propaganda one day but needs better animations and a gravity ,"based on true events" you should definitely put more work into this maybe episodic thing? Overall right now this is garbage but all those bombs that where dropped on thousands upon thousands of innocent people is really sad just to kill some thugs with pkms an aks only ... :/
I am proud of you!

I just downloaded this game, and it is actually one of the best games ever. Maybe most of people won’t understand what I really mean because I am playing this game and my emotions are wallowing around just for the idea that this happens in my hometown country. Rasheed, I wish you all the best Brother. You deserve it. Regards, Mathias Yussif Ibrahim
