| 2024-08-31 |  | | I just relived years of my childhood! My most favorite computer game of all time. I wish I could have a keyboard for precision jumps to secret things. Sometimes switches but loving the great memories. |
| 2023-08-09 |  | | Taking me back to my childhood! Only thing is when trying to input my highest score there is no option to bring up the keyboard and my game doesn't save. I have to start all over again. I've been searching for this game for years! Ty!!! |
| 2023-03-23 |  | | The controls are very bad and the games are pretty much unplayable. Also, display and video settings can't be adjusted in the launcher as display settings turn the screen black and video settings turn the resolution very low and the text becomes too small and pixelated to be able read anything (even if I just open the menus and don't touch the default settings). |
| 2022-12-09 |  | | The games work fine from what I can remember, but the settings are not great, if I accidentally press one wrong button when changing the size of the screen, everything turns blurry, small and unreadable then I either have to mess around with the settings for 5 minutes and hope to get lucky or uninstall the game and then reinstall it |
| 2022-11-12 |  | | Desperately needs the menu fixed. Tried to load up a game, the text was too small to read, tried to adjust the settings, whole thing just started being a square of unreadable tinyness. Then it started crashing when adjusted. Which is strange because it never did this before. |
| 2022-04-11 |  | | Seems to work fine on my Xiaomi Mi10T Lite, but I keep having that issue that slugs and worms and sometimes other creatures got stuck in the parts of lamd that are not straight horizontal. I'm talking about Keen 4 and Keen 4 plus. Another thing would be nice is more freedom in controls configuration. I would like to move buttons around, make'm different sizes etc. 120 hz on your display will cause the game runs twice as fast. |
| 2022-02-19 |  | | Cannot get this to work on a cell phone. The game loads fine and starts up everytime just no controls, tried going into config and still couldn't figure it out. Any help would be awesome! |
| 2021-05-03 |  | | Played these games for countless hours as a kid! Probably favorite game of all time! So glad they've brought this to Android. Only 4 stars because it does occasionally freeze up, not on just one device, but both devices I have it on. Other than than, awesome!!! Also, when I get to the end screen after collecting all the "wise men" and keys, etc, I can't do anything. It's basically froze up. Any advice on moving forward? |
| 2021-04-22 |  | | Almost 5 stars. The menus are still not super intuitive to navigate. I also can't find an option for resolution and aspect ratio which would bring this up to 5 for me easily. It's getting there thank you very much for doing this! |
| 2021-01-24 |  | | There's just seems to be a glitch in The Eight Accumulators, Footsville level.... After I gather the worms... It doesn't turn into a foot and I'm stuck in that area... Anyway you can fix it so I can access the secret levels? |
