Not like other Jussi games

I bought the game because I loved the other Jussi games, but I found out this game is not and it is much worse. Several glitches with the menu and sometimes the touch controls are buggy. Not worth in my opinion.

Super fun and well made game

The game is vary fun to play but it literally took me 20 minutes to beat but it’s still totally worth a dollar

Good game, but with bugs.

Tried to pause it, but now I got stuck so it’s acting like a baby or so glitchy. Sorry for the inconvenience.

I love this game! I come to this game whenever i have no signal but I feel like I need to keep my older phone just to play this classic.

Fun platformer and totally worth the price

I really enjoyed this game. Fun retro platformer that isn’t too difficult (but also isn’t too easy). Only downsides are 1. The game is pretty short (think 1-2 hours) and 2. The controls are tough if you have big fingers (small buttons and you can’t move or resize them). But still a solid and worthwhile game!

Programed with 8-bit love!! Unrequited, from lack of controller support!

I love this game, it is the perfect thing to play in a waiting room (when I forget to put my gameboy back in my purse), car ride or just at home relaxing. It has obviously been programed with love by a true retro geek! The only thing it lacks is controller support. Now that apple added support for xbox controllers I have been gaming with my phone clipped to a controller. I have also started to see the iPhone as a bona fide handheld gaming device. As much as I love this game, I hate touch controllers. So I have not played this game as much as I want and the Time playing is marred by bad controls. Please I beg of you!!!! Add controller support!! It cant be gameboy inspired without a D-pad!!

Great Game!!! But I have some recommendations...

It’s a great game!!!! The retro style really puts a feel and it’s a good game to play to pass the time. This isn’t an amazing idea or anything but maybe you should make it for Apple Watch. You could use the crown as a forward backward and the side button as jump. Hard press or swipe up would be menu. It’s just an idea but maybe it could work!!!

Short, but totally worth a grab!

This game will take you about 1-3 hours maximum to finish, but the game is extremely high quality with superb level design and engaging gameplay! There isn’t really a single low point in my opinion! Sure, it’s 99 cents, but what else would you spend 99 cents on? A candy bar? That’s not a very demanding price. Game developers have bills to pay too and they made a really great game. Sure, there are other phone games that provide more content for free... but... it’s 99 cents... that’s NOTHING! I have a few problems though. This is a bit petty, but the title is a bit misleading. It’s called Tiny Dangerous Dungeons; it’s plural even though there’s one dungeon... Also, I wish there was more content, this game’s concept and gameplay are so great and it’s definitely fine just the way it is, I just wished they expanded upon it a little more to make something really special! But at the very least, this game is proof that these game designers have talent and hopefully this game is just a test before these designers really get there feet wet with a much more ambitious game. Even if they aren’t interested in making a much bigger game, I will still look forward to whatever high quality game they have next! :)

It’s great but very short

It’s was cool, easy, nice to play but it only took me about 1-2 hours (not even) to complete. Very fun and of course retro but there should be more than just one dungeon you have to wonder through..at least three of them would have been nice with each boss better tougher and tougher to battle, with new skills, enemies, and making each dungeon harder to compete. Love the concept of the game just wish there was more to it. Keep up the good work.

Very short Metroidvania, but for $1, you’ll get plenty out of it. It shows what can be done with iPhone as a platform, and I wish there was more. Don’t regret my purchase at all

Great Game, Lag Fixed in New Update

The game used to lag but the new update completely fixes it! Also, could you add a second entire dungeon or make tiny guns for iOS? Thanks, great game, my friend and I do speed running competitions a lot with this. I would recommend.

about an hour of fun platforming and exploration :)

This game won't last you all that long unless you become addicted to trying to speed through it, but I found it rewarding and enjoyable. And it has a few secret rooms, and a good difficulty curve (with a couple legitimately hard parts).

I would give 5🌟's but...

There is this terrible freeze big glirtching it's way out of your once beautiful my smooth playing game, no it's so sad to play, the frames are lagging, and anytime you save the game (or attempt to), it automatically freezes, and takes a while to go back to "normal" (still glitching), please fix as I want my game back!

MAJOR BUG

Ok everything was working great: BEAUTIFUL GAME, until I was killed by an arrow midair (like game over killed) THEN everything went down hill! Whenever I reached game over it would freeze (music still playing) and I would have to reset the game. Also, the framerate became terrible and the music is all choppy. I have no idea how to fix this or if it's just my phone (btw got this phone a week ago so probably not) fix this asap!!!!!

It's very short but it's worth buying. I beat it in under 2 hours but some of the best hours ever please give it a try. It's fun. Final boss not worth it though pls fix and no "NEW GAME" button so no replays 😭 Love game pls it's worth it 😛

Awesome Game! Please Support This!

I'm always looking for games that remind me of Zelda, as I am a huge LoZ fan, but rarely do I see anything as close to home as Tiny DD was! Although it was short, it was also cheap. So that makes me think of how awesome it would be is Adventure Islands took a bit more time and make a larger sequel to this game! That would be AWESOME!!! I would totally buy a game like that for a higher price; even pay in-app purchases to go to new dungeons! (I've never payed in-app purchases so far) So please but this cheap game and enjoy the crap out of it like I did!! ^_^

Great game!

Pros: 1. Good exploration. 2. Beautiful GameBoy styled graphics. 3. Sounds and music are good. Cons: 1. Only 1 level!!!!!!! Took me 30 minutes. I was expecting at least 3 or 4 dungeons. 2. Only 1 song for the whole 30 minutes of gameplay. 3. Controls are ok, could be improved... Sometimes i wanted to press a button but ended up pressing something else. I guess something with hit detection? Bottom line, i would love if the game was longer and had more but this is just lame for a paid app.

Bugs make it unplayable, sadly

I was having a lot of fun playing this game until after awhile it would do this thing where it hiccups frequently. That makes it pretty much impossible to play, since you need to make precise movements to play the more difficult levels. Judging from the reviews, it seems like a lot of people are having this problem, so it's not just my device (6+).

OK not GREAT

Just bought the game yesterday and beat the game today. Even at $0.99, I don't think it's worth it. Sword of Xolan is the same price, and definitely worth it's weight in gold. It's an OK game for someone looking for a little time to kill, but if you want to be immersed in an adventure, this is not it. PROS: -cool retro background music -controls not cluttered on the screen -various levels of difficulties -Game Center achievements -time trial for the brave and quick -hidden pathways for finding fruit treasures CONS: -frame lags, crashes, and freezes, especially in the level before the boss (running from 6+) -short (one of those quick games to pass by time) -boss level too easy -getting hit makes character jump 3 feet back (this is especially hard if you get hit near the lava by bats when getting the key for the boss door) -momentum causes landing (from jumping) to not be accurate so you must control the character if jumping between ledges -a bug where if a character goes near the furthest corner of the ledge, he is stuck there and can't move I only got 2 of the 4 fruits. I didn't bother trying to find the rest because the game kept crashing/freezing when I died. I had better expectations for this game. I hope they fixed the freezing/lags.

Great little game with bug issues

The game ran flawlessly until it gets to the final key. I'm using an iPhone 6, a game of this level of complexity should not have an issue running on my phone. It will freeze momentarily mid jump or mid attack which is making it impossible to beat. Fix the glitches and I will give 5 stars.

I really like the concept of the game and would enjoy it so much more if it didn't freeze up so much making some hard parts of the dungeon even harder, even after update still badly glitchy.

The game was fun, if a bit short. However it has recently become extremely choppy to the point it is unplayable and occasionally freezes completely after you die. Update please.

A small gem

This is a compact adventure that will give you a fun action-packed hour or two. Great graphics, music and level designs. I experienced no bugs or frame rate drop as others reported. I did experience some issues with the controls (I think the hit box is too small for the jump buttons and all of the buttons in general). But it's a minor thing. This is a super game and an obvious labor of love from the dev.

Great game with bugs

GREAT gameplay, but same bugs as others have reported - on iPhone 6, serious lags and frame skips make the harder areas near the end impossible to navigate. App must be force-quitted after each death. Only taking off one star cuz I'm a developer too and I know how hard it is, but please fix ASAP!

Great retro platformer, but very short.

I'm a little torn on how to rate this one. The game is fun, well made and has decent controls. Where it really shines though is the pleasing, retro GameBoy feel. The game's creators did an excellent job of creating a game that really feels like it could have been released on the GameBoy in the late 80's. All that said, this game is SHORT. I finished it in one sitting. Took maybe an hour. Feels more like one level from a game rather than a full game. Worth 99 cents? Hmmm, that's debatable. I've paid 99 cents for games with more play value. If you are a child of the 80's, or a fan of retro platformers, you'll enjoy this game. Just don't expect much bang for your buck. Side note: I did not experience any of the bugs that others have complained of. Played smoothly on an ipad 4 from start to finish.

Fun game but...

Echoing what others have said --- I was really enjoying this game on my iPhone 6+ --- it made me nostalgic for the days of the original game boy. But as I'm nearing the end, bugs start to creep in. Precise platforming becomes extremely difficult because of random frame skips, often while jumping. On top of that, recovering from death at the nearest save point begins to take an excessively long time. These bugs are so frustrating, because you are already invested in an otherwise very solid title up until this point. Once these bugs are fixed I have no problem recommending it, but these should have been addressed before release.

Fun retro Metroidvania platformer

Pros: Classic GameBoy creamed spinach graphics; nice ability progression; decent spacing of save statues (at least for awhile) Cons: Suffers from framerate drops and slowdown in area w lots of moving elements or background animation, which makes gameplay frustrating... Hopefully performance issues get fixed because it's a nice little game.

Great game but very buggy towards the end

Such a fun, well designed game! But starting about 70% of the way in, becomes paralyzingly glitchy during gameplay, and requires restarting after every death and most game save attempts.

Great little game but unplayable on 6+ at end game.

I love this charming little game. I was having a great time playing this game until I reached the end of the game. It freezes constantly and had frame rotate drops that make the game nearly unplayable. I have found myself manually restarting the app allot. I haven't been able to complete the game because of these issues. Please fix devs!
