Thumper: Pocket Edition for Negative User Reviews

✓ Great butFantastic game but moving your iPhone left and right to change lanes does not work that well and I can’t seem to pass anything with it. There has to be a better way. Even with the new lane changer button still not great not playing it anymore still can’t pass any levels..Scale model.designVersion: 1.06

✓ Bad hit detectionLots of times a simple tap becomes a jump, and on iPad Pro it is really hard to turn. It should be also noted that lots of times on-time turning becomes “late” due to the time needed to swipe the screen..星之激动Version: 1.03

✓ This Version Is Hard to RecommendI love thumper, on any other console except this one. It’s a fantastic rhythm game that feels incredibly satisfying, intense and can fit both casual and perfectionist players. But on here, mastering it is basically down to luck, the optimisation is very poorly done, there are random lag spikes and any notification will drop you down to 5 fps and immediately ruin your run. Often I found myself failing runs because of input lag as well. If you want to play thumper, play it on a console or a PC, this mobile version does it a great injustice to what is a fantastic game. Play this version if you’re fine with getting a B or a C on every run, play any other version if you want to master playing thumper. I’d give it 5 stars on any other console, but here, it feels so sluggish and frustrating because of hardware limitations, thus a 2.5 or 3 would be an appropriate score in my opinion..Handbag jabVersion: 1.07

✓ Doesn’t workSo I’ve tried and dyed again but it just won’t let me join the game and kicks meeeee I’m on a iPad mini 3or4 I really hope you can fix this as it looks like a brill game.PandacatmeowwwwVersion: 1.13

✓ Call and ResponseThumper does an amazing job with its visuals, full of speedy nightmarish scenes. I enjoyed the rhythm aspect less, for two reasons. The controls feel decent on an iPad, but I keep suspecting that they’d feel much more precise and snappy with a controller than screen swiping - for a game that is all about being precise. The other issue is it feels to hard listen to the rhythm. The sound cues are solid, but the call and response can overlap. This means I couldn’t clearly hear what was coming up next over what I was currently doing. Combined with lots of offbeats and a twisty track means I rely more on visual estimation, trial and error, and memory, instead of internalizing the rhythm. It’s still very satisfying once you can do it correctly, but the process of getting there wasn’t as fun for me as it is in other rhythm games..JoeProgramVersion: 1.07

✓ Lane controls are patheticLane switching parts of the game either they should be removed or slowed down 4x on lane= FAIL. Plz fix (Ps:One of the best games on iOS otherwise ).Shadow lord 23Version: 1.05

✓ Great on everything but iOSThe game looks stunning but controls terribly. On both pc and ps4, it plays incredibly well but it seems they just simply ported the pc version without optimizing it for touch controls....Taz X14Version: 1.04

✓ My favorite rhythm game.. not such a great portEverything about this is as exciting as it was when I first played on oculus quest. I finished it on there with an s on every level proudly. The thing that makes this almost unplayable to me is the lane changing. Tilt mechanic is impossible, as are the UI button alternatives. This NEEDS to be a swipe to be at all passable, if not taken out of the mobile version all together. It’s so frustrating to be handicapped by trying to tilt my phone at strange angles, and it either not registering or going too far. I don’t regret buying it just because I love the game but it just makes me sad that I can’t get past points that I breezed through on the quest :(.DcteddVersion: 1.18

✓ Adjust tilt sensitivity.You have to tilt your phone so far to the side for it to register you can’t see the damn screen..AlecSimboVersion: 1.04

✓ RubbishTotal waste of money. I’d swerve..Bike skepticVersion: 1.03

✓ Expected more for the priceThe game is well designed and visually smooth, however lacking in overall content. Just an automatic speed drive with swipe left and right mechanics to avoid obstacles. Pretty bland overall.SaB0tag3Version: 1.03

✓ Review on iPad Pro 10.5The game is great but it’s not ideal to play on a big device like iPad Pro. I will only write some cons here but you should look at others’ review for the pros. Graphics: The resolution is not native so the graphics looks a bit blurry. The game does not seem to take advantage of the 120Hz refresh rate of the iPad Pro. Controls: the tap and swipes are quite responsive. However the lane changing mechanic introduced at chapter 4 requires tilts. It is very difficult to tilt the iPad Pro precisely and this ruins my experience afterwards. For now I uninstalled the game and I’m looking forward to reinstalling it if these issue get addressed..TaxyovioVersion: 1.03

✓ Boring after a few goes....Very boring, doesn’t make sense! I want my money back.StarmattheeVersion: 1.07

✓ Uninspired, unimaginative, unpleasantAudio is boring and doesn’t improve; no tangible satisfaction gained from the tapping and swiping, unlike nearly every other rhythm game; graphics although shiny are unpleasant..ShukurVersion: 1.03

✓ Control bugs?Am I missing something? Why cant I see the controls even after turning HUD on? And why does touch control lag? The game itself looks amazing and the version history sounds great but I’m on the latest version and the control just doesnt work..DunkeeVersion: 1.07

✓ Really didn’t like itI can’t even figure out what to do this in this game. The first thing counts 321 then tap but the tap is always off. Either early or too late. Just really awful.Sg262637373Version: 1.17

✓ Well made and great idea but consistently out of beat with the rhythmTitle..KyleJ 13Version: 1.04

✓ Not worth your moneyInitially got the game for want of a challenging but fun game. After a while, I’ve learnt that this is a bad port. Numerous graphical glitches make your beetle not actually do what your actions/swipes dictate, and a very obviously poorly thought out input system sometimes requires extreme levels of dexterity. One example - the game sometimes requires quick successive taps that are neigh impossible with one hand, and touchscreens on iPad and iPhones will not have that kind of response/latency. Another example is when the game requires you to tilt the iPhone or iPad in order to switch lanes. The sensors on iPads and iPhones are simply nowhere near sensitive enough for you to consistently select a lane that isn’t on the side. In those situations, I resorted to simply repeating the sections over and over again, praying that one in 20 times I might be able to get past that section without dying. This makes the game simply appear to be a cash grab ported onto iOS to make people spend money on a game that was originally intended for a different platform. If you’d like to spend your money somewhere else, there are loads better designed and thought out games that warrant your time and attention..Ridpath2Version: 1.05

✓ Even Newer ReviewWell they’ve improved the daft tilt control with some more sensible buttons. The framerate and visual flair still causes issues while playing, causing you to mistime taps or simply not see obstacles. I’m improving my rating by one, it’s still not enjoyable to play and the soundtrack is so dull, pretty much the same 5 sounds on loop. I understand it’s supposed to be a cue for you to do a certain action but I’d rather just have varied sound and music and use visual cues to play instead. For a person who loves the rhythm action genre this is a miss, disappointing as I pre-ordered in high hopes. Someone port Frequency onto a phone and then we’re talking!.KillrichengageVersion: 1.06

✓ Don’t understand gameI don’t understand the game even after doing the tutorial and reading their instruction on the website. I requested a refund on the same day but Apple refused my request. £5 wasted. Great.Ahuvi_Version: 1.10

✓ Good but a few flawsThis game is visually stunning but it can get frustrating especially with tilt controls. You can’t really control exactly where your beetle changes lanes to and so it makes it hard to get boss fights done. I’m glad that most of the flying parts are either optional or easy because it’s extremely hard to fly and pound in quick succession. Sometimes turning is not responsive and it makes it hard to slide on walls in quick succession as well. Overall it’s an awesome game with great music, but some major mechanical flaws hold it back..Liamum03Version: 1.05

✓ HorribleThe music is too simple and not creative, the controls and just boring and difficult, the backgrounds are random and make no sense since they are basically just colours and it is repetitive, no story while having no effort. Not worth the price and just a cash grab so people want to get it on here..2 spoopy 4 meVersion: 1.05

✓ Fun but frustrating tilting controlsThis game for the first few levels is challenging but very fun and visually impressive. However once multiple lanes are introduced which requires tilting the phone, it becomes just pure frustration as for boss fights you have to be so precise about what lane you go in to progress. Now I’m really struggling and just getting annoyed with the game and this ridiculous control choice..OB17Version: 1.05
