The Other Brothers App Reviews

The game worked fine before the update, but now it crashes every time I try to run it. I was really looking forward to playing it on my iCade. I hope the proble gets fixed soon.

Not worth $2

While I agree with many of the criticisms in regards to level design, AI, and controls--even post update--my main frustration, and why Ive subsequently deleted the game on my device is the discrepancy in file size posted on the app-store (55.0 MB), to the actual size, as installed on my phone (288.9 MB). I am pleased with my purchase, but given the fact this game is nearly unplayable on anything but an iPad, Ill wait till I have larger screen space to enjoy the great 8-bit graphics and gritty stroryline.

This excellent retro platformer features really great iCade 8Bitty gamepad support!

The enemies are insanely hard and the levels are long

The game Ive played on my iPhone 5; awesome with the controls. Played on ipad mini the controls were awful and the graphics were great. Played on the ipad I had to delete the game . FIX those controls and you will have a 5 star game.

We may never see Mario on the App Store, so this is the next best thing. I was actually hoping someone would rip off Nintendo because they wont put their games on any other devices. Not only does this game do that, but theres an awesome creative spin to it. This game is worth every penny. The only reason why I didnt give this a 5th star is because the game is a little too difficult. Maybe its just because Im not the best at hardcore platforming, but the enemies were very annoying.

The original controls were bad, but thanks to the new control settings, the game is really fun

The barely-improved controls raised it to two stars, but its still a subpar sidescroller that is much more of an Earthworm Jim ripoff than a Mario copycat.

The controls are horrible. You cant move and it is a waste of money.

Hot topic are the controls I cant speak to icade but the touch controls are as good as any ios platformer out there personally I like floating analog stick but its got a fixed one and dpad to choose from. The levels are good theyre not some random cluster f. Its not Mario though, it has a lot more up and down platforming and hazards but its good. The style is cool, the bosses are just hard enough. There is unlimited continues, and check points for however many 1ups you have plus a level select very forgiving. This plus banana kong are gems on ios Id love to see them on the ouya worthy of tv out and a control pad.

The devs updated the controls which everyone complained about. And this I do respect, but my gripes are actually with the enemies in-game. They are simply too hard and you barely any defenses against them besides the TIMED USAGE THROWING WRENCHES. Also dont get me started on the difficulty of catching doves which have the equivalence of coins to sonic the hedgehog. One equals all doves gone another hit= death. At least sonic had speed on his side...but I digress. Although Ive been negative thus far there are some cool aspects of this game. For starters the artwork/design is amazing! The music is not that bad, but somewhat cheesy. I probably will continue playing again in the future at some point but Ill pass atm.

The reviewers saying this game has bad controls are kidding themselves. Ive only played only one other title on the App Store that had traditionally-translated touchscreen controls that were this good: Super Crate Box. Dont let the control concern stop you from enjoying one heckuva good game. Unique all around. Glad I bought it, and one more dev to add to the "Good" list.

The game lags and crashes so much its unplayable :/ I cant even get past the second level, I cant imagine how bad it would run on the boss fight levels. Please fix this game can be really fun if it didnt lag.

Hey, remember how stupid it was to lose all your rings in Sonic after you got hit? This game dares to ask the question "what if those rings were birds and it was harder to retrieve them because they fly away and also the controls are awful?"

Like previous reviews stated, the controls ruin the game. Sad because it looks fun, Im not sure how this has 4 stars. waste of two bucks.

Please add Game Center Achievements. Also, fix the controls. The left button moves all over the place and causes me to jump to my death too often. I will give five stars if you at least fix this in your next update. But please add GC achievements! Still NO GC ACHIEVEMENTS! Its been months. The controls are still not tight enough.

The game it self is fun the controls are bare able but what bothers me is the fact that the levels are so big and theres tons of gas cans and pigeons to collect but it only gives u 5 mins to do so which theres Noway to collect everything and complete the level within that time limit it would be nice to see a option that allows for u to shut the time off more things to unlock like alternate costumes characters gameplay modes etc also u need to expand on that dlc immediately cause the game is way to short

The game has a great art style and gameplay is fun but the god awful controls make it impossible to play accurately without a great deal of frustration.

The controls are just terrible. Its hard to play through any of the levels with them, which is a shame, having to pay 2 dollars for a nearly unplayable game. Please fix it soon. It seems fun, but I cant play it until then.
