Sprocket 4+

good game, buggy audio

Don’t have too much to add on the actual gameplay, which others have covered already. It’s straightforward and fun, with a good progression of difficulty on easy mode. BUT I have found the audio to have lots of annoying glitchy pops and clicks on iPhone 8, iOS 11.2.1. I am sure the audio issue is app-specific, as this doesn’t occur in music or any other game from this phone.

I apologize for the audio glitch. This is corrected as of version 1.8.

Elegantly simple and simply elegant

What a remarkably original (at least to me) concept. I love the score and the fact that it changes with taps. Whadaya know, I can make music after all . . . and without any formal training. I am with another reviewer in that I am sometimes bewildered that MY timing for a jump does not fully align with the game’s idea of a successfully timed jump and that the rings are sometimes obscured as they disappear off the screen edges. It has “trained” me to be a little more patient, which is a good thing. Love the glaring omission of stats or high scores. In fact the “score” is kinda pointless, but it does, I presume, give one a semblance of achievement when triple digits are achieved. (Haven’t made it there yet . . . so close.). I highly recommend this game.

Jumps not accurate

I videoed my game play when jumping, and my reflexes many times were dead on when catching the front part of a moving line, but it would kill my turn as if I jumped too soon. This is frustrating, when making a jump that you know touches the next line, all but to start over. But, it’s a simple game and fun to try and beat your existing high scores but I feel inclined to delete it from the frustration of making a great timed jump, all but to be forced to start over on a new attempt.

Thanks for your feedback. I apologize that you were frustrated by the game. When jumping the goal is to get the white disk to fit entirely within the pod after making your jump, i.e it's not enough to simply hit the edge of the next pod. The jump algorithm is a little forgiving in this regard in that you can hang off the edge of the next pod by two or three pixels and this will still be counted as a successful jump.
