A lot of fun
Drunkmanfu

So, I downloaded this game on a whim and I will tell you and i was actually surprised. It's addicting and fun, takes me back to the old Mario type platformer from the Atari and original. NES. It's worth a download and if nothing else it will make 15 minutes disappear quickly and enjoyably.


Addictive!

Simple game play, easy to pick up and play, and delightfully challenging. One of the smartest games I’ve played in a long time. Super addictive!


Challenging in the best way

Tough as nails, but insanely addictive. Be prepared to pour a lot of hours into this.

Retro fun!!!

My husband is totally addicted to this game! It's easy to see why--even though it looks really simple, it is actually super challenging on every level. I love that I can have as many free lives as I need because I need them a lot! It brings back fun memories of playing computer games as a kid and I would totally recommend it to kids of all ages! If you want to relax and work your brain out at the same time this is the perfect fix.


Challenging but addicting

Simple on principle, but definitely makes you slow down and think about how to clear a level as you get into he game. Very addicting puzzle platformer.


Somebody said it's difficult - this guy

Based on a simple design concept that the player's only decisions are to run and jump, with direction determined by the course, the game designer has made a series of puzzles that build and build on the premise. Addicting and frustrating, the game's name itself reminds you each time you fail that "nobody said it would be easy." But no one directly said it was difficult. :) Like this designer's other recent game, Nerdy Workout, the graphics are simple and gameplay is straightforward, but you'll seesaw between endorphin rush and frustration as you struggle to master the game. In the end, the 100 puzzles provide harder and harder challenges--I'm only halfway through--but a lot of thought and effort went into making this game already one of the most original iPhone games of the year. Nobody said it was easy!


Love it!

Addicting!

Nobody Said it Was Easy is a great example of a game that is a simple concept but can provide lots of level variations and is addicting for hours. I highly recommend it!
