Kinja Run

This game has potential, but is not even remotely balanced, the skill tree is uninteresting and essentially arbitrary, way too much pay for power and in-your-face ads for micro transactions, and the levels are poorly designed. You can respawn in the air with no way to proceed over and over just taking fall damage. The levels also are lacking important visual cues and just require you to play enough times to know what you're supposed to do. Either that or the level plays itself.

Super fun game. It isn't very often I find a game I enjoy on here but this has a nice feel to it. The game itself is pretty straightforward and simple but each run is a unique map and enemies. No ads unless you die and want to keep your run going. Lots of skills you can combined and see different combinations with. The only thing I have a slight complaint about is that the menu has way too much going on and could be simplified a bit.

This game would be fun, I want to like it, except for the immense game breaking bugs. Mostly they are bugs where you fall to your death because the game doesn't load the floor, out you glitch through the floor, or the platform doesn't move fast enough to keep up with your character, so you fall. But also watching ads doesn't always grant the reward, ect. The worst part is that support doesn't respond at all.

You control a cute character as the environment advances. You move it left right and can use backwards and forwards to evade or to target. Targeting is auto, how you attack is based on the skills you choose. I am not a good player for these types of games I found it easy to control and play. I was able to beat the first 10 levels. That's great for me. I feel young and old alike would enjoy this game

It's a fun game, I really enjoy it. However, I rated it 2 stars because... 1. I think more variety of equipment would be nice. 2. Some levels (with certain mix of enemies), it's impossible to dodge their projectiles, making your skill become useless and having to rely just on whether you have enough health to endure the hits to make it through. 3. I think it would be cool to include more characters because, well... More customization options is always better.

Ok, so first off, this game is amazing. I love everything about it. The control feels well suited for mobile devices and the shmup sections are magnificent. The only reason this isn't a 5 star review is because the game crashes way too often. With an energy system to even play the game, having your game crash in the middle of a run is extremely frustrating. I'd gladly pay for infinite energy if it were an option. But until either that becomes an option or the game stops crashing, 4 stars.

A surprisingly fun bullet hell game, I love that the first few levels ease you into the game. I've seen reviews where they don't like the ramping difficulty, but as long as you upgrade your abilities and gear as you go on, the game will be a lot easier. I do wish there were checkpoints, but the game is still plenty of fun. One thing that bothers me is the high amount of microtransactions and the energy system. However, I LOVE that adds are optional! This is very important to a mobile gamer!

Above all else, this game is extremely buggy and unstable. Certain upgrade combinations have caused the level to fail to load, leading to unavoidable death. Boss projectiles have gone invisible, and certain sections of the map have failed to interact, both leading to unavoidable death. Often, you have to watch ads multiple times to get the game to acknowledge that you watched them. Dailies take way too much time (complete an entire chapter!) and the rewards are paltry. Huge letdown.

Fun idea, terrible execution. Played it for 2 weeks before judging. I did have fun playing but hit boxes, run speed, the maps bridges that are SUPPOSED to move with you, and many many more aspects are extremely buggy! So glad I didn't spend money on your game. It's just not worth a cent until you put some effort into fixing your glitches. I have screen recordings of all of the previously mentioned bugs as well.

New update ruined the game. They removed I frames after getting hit and added more enemies per wave. The problem is that your screen will be flooded with projectiles and since there's no I frames, you'll get mowed down. The game became more of a "pay us to get the overpowered gear so you can tank everything" rather then dodging. And then they say "lower the difficulty" as a response. How the hell do you lower the difficulty? There's no difficulty slider. Are they just saying to not play?

Update: this game is unplayable now. There is no way to progress. I'm on chapter 43 and can't make it past level 7. Uninstall I loved this game up until this update. Instead of waves of 3 - 4 groups, you know have a group of enemies per level. So if you're on level 7, you have 7 waves that keep coming and it's impossible to avoid getting hit. The enemies gravitate towards the side of the screen which you can't see, and new enemies will appear right in front of you and kill you. Please fix this!

I like the game. I really do, but that energy system has to go. I'm lv30 on ch.28. Up until now, the energy system hasn't been more than the typical nuisance. Once you hit the difficult wall, thats when the energy system rears its head. There is nothing more frustrating than burning all 30 energy (6 plays) on one ch. within 5-10min because you hit an unbeatable level until you level up your gear, taking days if you're lucky. I don't support that style of marketing. Thanks but overall, no thanks.

Fine enough to keep but the appeal wears off very quickly. It's a rather simplistically structured game similar to Sonic Run where the only gameplay is the running bit which, again, can be fun and challenging but for me gets a bit redundant and boring. The in-game purchases, while refreshingly affordable, do nothing to liven or refresh the experience thus giving no transactional incentive. One idea is customization options for your Kina's appearance, or at least change it to fit your equipment.

Unpolished as hell, some enemies are legitimately immune to weapons simply because the devs were too lazy to make sure the were close enough to the ground to be hit. Once you hit level 7 it hits you like a brick wall, it becomes crystal clear how necessary the cash shop will be to continue making meaningful progress. On top of that, every level has a "boss rage" mechanic. What this actually means, is if your run can't kill the boss in one minute then the boss goes turbo and ends the level itself

I love this game but I can't play it anymore because they games performance is terrible as each level goes on. At first it's fine but then I get about 1 frame a second or less during boss fights. I really enjoy it and want to play it but I end up dying because I can't tell what's going on. An option for better performance in the settings would be awesome.

Fun, yeah, But needs a fair bit of polish. Environment pop-in is a frequent and jarring problem and is awkward. I can see under the geometry during some of the hopping sections, giving the platforms less of a "floating level" vibe and more "WIP model." On top of that, would love to see more player character variety. Please less in-game notification spam. I already visited the ingame store- I don't need a red notification constantly there to bring me back. I already saw everything!

A nice mix of an endless runner and a Galaga type game. One issue that bugs me. The combat sections don't wait for you to clear the current wave before it spawns the next one, causing many levels to devolve into impossible to dodge bullet-hells. Also invincibility frames are very important in this kind of game.
