Bio
I am trying to review every game I ever played which is a bit ambitious. If the game has a story I will only review it if I have at least finished the main story. I am a big fan of platformers, puzzle games, adventure games, and party games. I have been trying to expand my interests which so far has mostly involved trying different franchises (especially Indie ones) as opposed to different genres. I have a negative bias against Lego games and mobile games which I enjoyed a lot more when I was younger. This affects the overall rating, however, the written review will usually try to talk about them in comparison to other similar games (either other Lego games or other mobile games). This comparison within genres (or franchises) is something I try to do with every game if I have enough familiarity with the genre or franchise.

Out of all the mobile games I’ve played, this one is my favorite. It is so different than other games that it does not always feel like a mobile game. This was especially true in its prime. It would be a lot of fun to go to a place with a lot of Poké stops and gyms. My dad and I shared an account which I know is cheating, but having something to do together made it worth it. After a while, the game can start to get repetitive and it is very hard to justify settings aside time for it especially when you can go on a long walk just to not find anything. Regardless I still got a lot more out of this than I have with most mobile games and even some non-mobile games.
The premise of this game is great. You have to quickly react to things and try to beat your own high score. It functions as a sort of endless Bop-It with extra flair. This has been outshined by its sequel which I played more. There are few reasons to play this when the second one exists Compared to console games this does not hold up very well, but it is a good premise and fun to play here and there.
I always had a lot of fun with this game. For a while, it was my go-to mobile game as it was simple and the objectives to advance to the next level kept me engaged. It had a lot of extra features that the original one did not such as the minecart section and the water slide. The extra maps did not always have as much extra content, but they were still a nice inclusion. Regarding mobile games, I like those that are based on reaction time and this certainly delivered on that. The fact that the goal is to beat your own score is also a great model for a mobile game. If this was an app store review it would get 5 stars, but compared to other video games it is rather simple and gets repetitive very fast. I also disliked that some of the objectives required you to play multiple days in a row as the game should be a fun thing to play when bored and not something you have to invest a lot of time in.
