Latest reviews of Skyriders app for iPhone and iPad
Sky riders would be a great game except the left and right buttons should be on the right side of the screen and jump on the left. If you are right-handed your manual dexterity is better with your right hand/thumb when trying to switch between 2 buttons together - while also managing another jump function at the same time. Why not have a button choice option for right or left-handed people? Other than that, the game is great! Thats the only reason Im not putting 5 stars. Eileen26
Fast, smooth, challenging and good fun. What more could you want?
This reminds me of a cross between Monkey Ball and F-Zero. Dont be deceived by the simple icon because it looks beautiful and polished on my iPad 3. The courses have a nice flow to them and the double jump mechanic puts a good spin on things.
Enjoyed the game greatly. The UI is smooth and elegant and the game floors you with its subtle but impressive visuals. The game also packs in a lot of content for its price tag which is always great. Looking forward to the iPhone 5 screen adaptation and digging more into this title. I also like the way that the studio doesnt push in-app purchases. Very great game to add to your collection.
Way too hard to control on the iPhone 5. Very disappointing since this game just came out. Every new release ive purchased is ready for the 5. Why not this? Its just too awkward trying to get your thumb in the right spot to control the steering with the empty space on the screen. Please update soon!
