★★★★★ Half brick never seizes to amaze

Half brick studios is know for such classic titles as jet pack joy ride and fruit ninja the pioneers of the mobile market still going strong but things have changed since my day there’s more ads and micro transactions in movie games than ever so much in fact some games are unplayable but the ogrinal games are pure with fun for half an hour those pick up and play games are childhood and Dan the man will be part of a new generation of mobile gaming fan the man will be one of the best in the gen apart form jet pack 2 due to all of the other games being pay2wins now I know this game has ads and stupid microtransactions but it’s more than usual keep the ads down halfbrick I know you need the money but don’t shove ads in faces DURING GAMEPLAY I haven’t played this game in a few months since I now have a console but my main complaint is ads otherwise this game is pretty solid it can be cringey at times but mostly just fun I like the retro theme of halfbrick games and this is no step down from quality but it isn’t really a step up either I hope in the new multiplayer mode things work out but this game still has its flaws TL;DR cut down on ads old halfbrick is was better but this game is alright

★★★★★ I lost half of my data...

Well first... let me start off by saying, that I used to love this game. Sure, it did have a lot of ads but it still didn’t bother me that much. I got “Dan the man” 4 years ago and worked hard to complete the adventure mode, story mode, and upgrade all the weapons and characters. It was pretty fun! Now I’ll get to the main part: One day I deleted “Dan the man” only for a couple of days. I wasn’t worried about deleting the game because I had done it many times before and when I installed it again, it would restore all my previous data. But this time... something else happened. I got the app back, opened it up, and went to the character selection. That’s when I found out that my characters and weapons weren’t fully upgraded which I thought was strange because before I deleted the game all characters were at level 16 and all weapons were maxed out. After finding out that my characters weren’t level 16, I went to check adventure mode. When I went in to adventure mode... I WAS STILL IN THE BEE ADVENTURE INSTEAD OF THE LINCON ADVENTURE!!! It was very frustrating because I had spent 4 YEARS trying to upgrade everything, beat the game, and get all golden trophies in adventure mode. Halfbrick, if you are reading this review, please help me in anyway possible to regain my data. Thank you for reading this review.

★★★★★ The money I spent and progress I made

This is an amazing game and I’ve had it for a long time now but there’s a lot of things you got rid of. One is getting rid of saved progress. A lot of people deleted the game and lost all of their stuff and it happened to me too. I beat both adventure mode and was just grinding to get everything maxed out then I deleted the game cause I thought nothing would happen to my save then I lost everything. Even the premium I paid for got lost. I don’t know why you got rid of this mechanism to save your data but you did and now almost everyone lost everything. And also I can’t restore purchases which is stupid because now I can’t restore my premium that I paid for. If you wanted people to continue playing then you would’ve kept all of this but no. You just had to get rid of these essential mechanics for whatever reason. I loved this game but now it’s something I don’t want to play anymore. Sure a lot of fun things were added but it would’ve been a lot more fun if I had all of my progress. I get that this is your game but you got rid of so much and I can’t just ignore it. I spent a lot of time and I spent money on this and it all just goes down the drain. Fix this or I don’t think I’ll be playing this game anything soon and I think a lot of people agree with me

★★★★★ Really good game, just a few things

I totally recommend this game to people who have other games to play. Ones who have very little games and less patience.... no. The thing is, the game has a REALLY long timer for each level, making you wait. I wouldn’t mind like 1-3 hours, but it has like 11-12 hours for each level(but the levels are long, and you can replay them). Also, for each checkpoint, there is usually an ad. 9/10, you get to a checkpoint, there is an ad. It should only be half of the time, and not on levels you have already played. Another thing is that the adventure mode, for the levels you have to have Barry, you can’t level him up unless you pay for him or do the 5 friends thing. So it makes it impossible for the silver and gold trophies to be won in the adventure mode unless it’s really good or your skilled. On last thing, when I try to use the skip 60 min. thing for the timer, it never works. And it’s the game for sure, because I have a well taken care of iPad Air 2. Besides those things, it’s a great game. I love it, and will continue to play it. But I speak for most people, please do something about the timer, at least. Thanks for the great game. PLZ UPDATE

★★★★★ Great game but...

Dan the man is a great game. I’ve played other games that are alike such as apple knight. But it isn’t like those other games. in this game it gives the characters life. Like the two guys who run around trying to take on things as well. It’s fun getting to run around and beat things up. The knock back or the stun feature when you hit an enemy lets you hit them over and over makes you feel unstoppable. And the videos really explain the story and give the game and characters life, it also makes you care for Dan and the goal he’s after. What could be better is the money grab. Once you get to the main levels you get a timer after beating levels and this really makes me sad because it ruins that unstoppable feel to the game. I don’t mind the ad statues because it doesn’t make you watch an ad but please get rid of the timer. That is my criticism for the game, but again there’s something about running around and beating every living thing up that makes me laugh.

★★★★★ Unplayable game

Now I know you guys have made the masterpiece that is Jetpack Joyride but this game, while fun to play, gets very annoying. First off, there are way too many ads in this game. Every new checkpoint, every death, every mission start, EVERYTHING involves watching an ad first. It’s horrible. I can’t even play the game. Second, I can’t even play the actual game because I have to wait a whole day before being able to do another level. That’s so crappy. Especially since I need to do levels to get gold and level up my characters to get more gold. Without high level characters I can’t play the adventure game modes. Third, the game tries to force you to pay $5 for the 4th character by keeping him at the lowest possible level so you can’t complete the adventure game modes and get the reward chests. Fourth, the game constantly freezes so I have to restart it all. Overall the game mechanics are fun but the amount of flaws in this game make it completely unplayable. But I know you guys aren’t going to listen to this because you can’t take criticism. However I would absolutely love if you proved me wrong. First step of doing so, don’t give this some stupid copy pasted response. Second step, fix your game. Thank you for your time

★★★★★ It’s alright…

The first add i saw for this game was dan the man punching somebody at the bar getting arrested and failing to escape, and i THOUGHT that’s what the game would kind of be but no. You see i thought the game would be this one big multiplayer and single player game with a big city that you roam and get to talk to people and make choices, but then i download the game and it’s just a bunch of mini games and fighting some guys with police gear and weapons. It got incredibly boring after an hour of playing it, and then… the little pop up ad in the game telling you to play adventure mode came up and i said to myself oh heck yeah! This is what i saw in the adds! No… it was even worse than the main game. But hey i can’t hate on this game to much i love it’s style, and the character creation, and the leveling up thing, the fighting mechanics and the animations it’s definitely a hidden gem it’s just i don’t like the main stuff. No hate to the creators or developers for this games they did an awesome job and the game is pretty cool just maybe next time add some actual gameplay in your adds please. Thanks
