Not quite
Mon Feb 18 2013 Arglebargle101Oh man--I have waited for years to find a way to play this game again. Unfortunately, this version doesn't do the original justice. First of all, the game is buggy. Very buggy. And the mouse NEEDS to be able to move diagonally. And the interface is wonky to use. In the original pc game, you could hold the direction keys down to move continuously. In this version, you must jab awkwardly at the direction buttons repeatedly, with only about 2/3 of them landing squarely enough to move the mouse as intended.
Not like the original
Sat Jun 15 2013 JenietalThere is a lot that is disappointing. For 1. Every time you load the app, you choose your level. There is no option for continuing where you left off, even if you stop briefly to respond to a text. (You also have to change your "options" every time you load the app, as these do not save (i.e. tracking pad and speed.)) Highly annoying.
2. As previously stated by others, you cannot go diagonally on this version which really puts the mouse at an unfair disadvantage, as the cats move diagonally. The original "rodents revenge" allows diagonal movements.
3. The worst part is that to get quickly from one end of the screen to another, you must tap the arrow rapidly, instead of just holding the arrow in like on the keyboard and jetting across the screen. Even when doing this as fast as possible, the mouse is not nearly as fast as when played on the old packard bell; in comparison the movements of the mouse are awkward and hard to get the hang of.
These things make the game hard to enjoy; this app is just a teaser for the real thing. But change these things and it will get 5 stars.
Rip off
Thu Jun 16 2022 B clark IPhone 6I have never written a bad review before. But when I found this game I was so excited. I paid the $0.99 to buy the game. I didn’t read the reviews or look at the rating like I normally do. If I had I probably wouldn’t have paid for this yes it was only a dollar , but still. The game won’t even load. It closes as soon as you try to load the game. I would like the game fix or my dollar back. Hope this helps the next person not to waste their money. I am very disappointed. I played a game like this when I was younger. So I was so excited. But just a waste of money and time. So so disappointed 😏🤬
Awesome!!!!
Mon Aug 19 2013 Yar'I have been trying to remember the name of this game for years and finally, the other day, I thought "what can google tell me?" They told me correctly. Then, I typed it in here. I now have Rodent's Revenge! There are only two things I dislike; the jabbing of the d-pad and that it doesn't up your level upon victory. However, still a great rendition. A few more updates and it will be a nostalgic masterpiece!
It breaks my heart to do this...
Sun Dec 20 2020 SkyBear91I just learned that this game was available, and was so excited to go back to my childhood favorite game! It cost ($0.99) which was kind of disappointing, but doable. When I had the spare funding, I purchased it. Only to tap on the app (after fully downloading), and have it crash immediately after I tried to start a level.
After multiple attempts and getting the same outcome each time, I figured I would contact App Support. The link given is broken.
I will now go lick my metaphorical wounds and hope something can be resolved soon, before I just delete entirely.
Paying for Nothing
Mon Aug 30 2021 Gamer lover #1 FanIf you want to just throw a dollar away then that is what you are doing when you buy this game. You are paying to not play because you can’t even open the app to play. It must be so buggy that when you open the app it kicks you out automatically before it opens up so I can’t even get to a menu to play. I even tried deleting the app and reinstalling it to see if it would help but it made no difference so now I just permanently deleted it and waisted my dollar on nothing. 🤦♀️💸🤷♀️
Wonderful Idea, Not Operable
Thu Mar 21 2019 Allen BensonI enjoyed the original Rodent’s Revenge thoroughly as a child, and was glad to see the enthusiasm that I felt back then still spurred by contemporary developers, who had made a version compatible with newer iOS systems.
Unfortunately, I am unable to use the software, as it crashes immediately after attempting to pass the main screen. I hope that this bug is assessed and addressed, as I was quite excited to be able to revisit this wonderful classic, and do not have a PC to boot the DOS versions of it.
I have never left a review
Mon Jul 22 2019 kjmartialArtsBut WHY ON EARTH DID I PAY FOR A GAME I CANT EVEN PLAY!? I saw this game pop up and I was immediately filled with nostalgia. I was so excited to play this game. 99¢? Sure for a game I loved growing up why not? Imagine my surprise when I pay for the game, download it, and it doesn’t allow me to go passed the main screen... I can only imagine what it will be like to try to get a refund. Is it considered stealing if you pay for something but never truly receive it? Guess we’ll find out. Refund.. thx ✌🏽
Will not work
Sun Dec 27 2020 StephRN22I was excited to find an app for this game, as I remember playing it as a child. Despite reading some less than desirable reviews, I decided to purchase it anyways, figuring that I would be able to at least play it, despite poor quality/bugs. With every attempt to start a new game, it immediately closes out of the app. I am highly disappointed. Don’t waste your time, unless they find a way to fix this problem.
I should have read the reviews
Tue Jun 11 2019 shdesai826I just wish I read the reviews before purchasing the app. Similar to other users I got very excited when I saw the app supposedly mirrors the old game I used to play for hours on end when I was a kid. I wouldn’t know if it’s the same though since the app crashes every time I try to play a game. I can’t even select the new game option because it crashes right away. Waste of time and money.
