  • gameplay

    35 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    37% positive mentions, 52% neutral mentions, 11% negative mentions

    The gameplay is praised for its addictive, smooth core loop of mastering bosses and character progression, offering a unique and engaging twist on runner games with solid mechanics and nostalgic appeal. However, many users express frustration with the ticket system limiting playtime, which detracts from the overall experience and calls for revision or removal. Overall, the gameplay is considered highly enjoyable and effective, with hopes for more dynamic mechanics and innovations in future updates.

    • “The core gameplay loop of mastering each boss and leveling characters is executed in a simple but highly effective way, making it addicting.”
    • “Honestly, it has everything a good runner needs: a unique gameplay structure that most other runners don't have, with difficulty increasing at each level, and visuals that look good and match the game.”
    • “Very fun gameplay, reminiscent of Temple Run but with more involvement, especially with the weapon mechanic.”
    • “However, the only issue I have is the ticket mechanic where every time you play an act, it takes a ticket from you and you have to wait 30 minutes for the tickets to return.”
    • “The only complaint are the mechanics of controlling Bendy feel a little clunky.”
    • “All bosses are the same and have the same mechanics except their visual style.”

  • monetization

    27 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    26% positive mentions, 7% neutral mentions, 67% negative mentions

    The game's monetization is praised for its minimal or optional ads, allowing enjoyable play without intrusive interruptions. While the ticket system receives mixed opinions—some find it unnecessary or limiting, others accept it—many users appreciate the absence of aggressive microtransactions and wish for more flexible options like premium passes or unlimited tickets. Overall, the monetization approach is seen as fair and non-intrusive, contributing positively to the gaming experience.

    • “No ads and not a cashgrab.”
    • “Thank god it's back, no ads, no 'pay and you win' systems.”
    • “It already deserves 5 stars for being a free run game with no ads which is honestly already a 5/5.”
    • “Paying to play with tickets and waiting for 30 minutes to play again (or pay) pretty much ruined the fun and it makes the game look like a nostalgia cash grab.”
    • “The game itself is fine and still as fun as it was originally. The ink system where there's no actual way to get it for free without painfully watching ads just for 5 ink is atrocious. Not to mention every time this game has updated I have lost all my progress even though I have an account for the game. These issues overall make me want to play the game less and less.”
    • “However, if you're going to make an in-app purchase, be very careful.”

  • graphics

    11 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    73% positive mentions, 27% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    The graphics are widely praised for their unique and appealing art style, with new visuals and skins enhancing the game's atmosphere. Users appreciate the balance of cartoonish and potentially scarier elements, contributing to an engaging and enjoyable aesthetic. Overall, the visuals complement the gameplay well and are considered a strong aspect of the game.

    • “Really fun game, I would recommend it. I love the art style; it's a unique take on the runner genre and it's just great.”
    • “Great game, great music, and great graphics, and they aren't cramming ads down your throat.”
    • “Honestly it has everything a good runner needs. It has a unique gameplay structure that most other runners don't, and the structure doesn't get repetitive fast like most others thanks to the difficulty increasing with each level. The visuals look good and match the game.”

  • music

    10 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    40% positive mentions, 30% neutral mentions, 30% negative mentions

    The music in the game is widely praised for its quality and nostalgic appeal, though some users report minor bugs such as improper looping, persistent game over or menu music when retrying levels, and abrupt stops in the main menu track. Overall, the soundtrack significantly enhances the experience, with suggestions for adding more iconic songs in future updates.

    • “The game runs smoothly, loading times are short, the music is great, so far no audio bugs, and loading screens are very short.”
    • “It's as good as it used to be. I love the music; the sound effects are a little annoying, but playing the game with them off gives a silent film vibe and it's fantastic. Overall, a great re-release of my favorite runner game.”
    • “Great game, great music, and great graphics, and they aren't cramming ads down your throat.”
    • “In the main menu, the music isn't looped and can abruptly stop without any possibility of returning.”
    • “When I press 'try again' after dying, it plays the menu music instead of the music that's supposed to play when opening an act.”
    • “In Dewey Decimate 2, the music doesn't loop properly, or maybe it's supposed to be like that.”

  • story

    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 40% neutral mentions, 60% negative mentions

    The story aspect is noted for adding fun and replayability through varied characters, weapons, missions, and upgrades, enhancing the runner gameplay. However, some users find certain quest designs and sudden difficulty spikes to be frustrating and somewhat unfair. Overall, the story elements contribute positively but could benefit from better quest balance.

    • “The quest for 'collect ### amount of bacon soup,' thing.”
    • “C'mon, you can't give us quests to 100% a level and only give us 6 tries.”
    • “I mean, it's alright, it just needs quests and that's about it.”

  • humor

    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    100% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    The game's humor is widely appreciated for its lighthearted and nostalgic charm, blending classic elements with new features. Players find it genuinely funny and enjoyable, enhancing the overall fun experience.

    • “I find it a bit funny that I'm the first person to write a review about this game. It honestly has zero issues, runs super cleanly, and isn't a Subway Surfers rip-off. It adds its own unique spin to it, very fun, especially if you're a Bendy fan.”
    • “Good game, very fun and really funny. The abilities, treasure chest, monsters, and other elements like the car, bomb, and magnet are all cool. Thank you for reviving it.”
    • “It is very funny.”

  • grinding

    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 100% negative mentions

    Users find the grinding aspect tedious and discouraging, especially the repetitive task of collecting bacon soup despite short wait times and power-ups. They suggest improvements like multi-pack spawns and increased odds during special events to make grinding more engaging and rewarding.

    • “All that does is discourage people from grinding the game and collecting bacon soup and making mileage with the characters, regardless of how short the waiting time for the next ticket is.”
    • “Jokes aside, I think the collect bacon soup checkmark is far too tedious even with the double bacon power-up. There should be chances for multi-packs to spawn, then have those odds increased when Alice is up.”
    • “I remember playing this game all the time and now that it's back I'm grinding this game.”

  • optimization

    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    100% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    The game offers smooth performance with short loading times and no audio issues, reflecting solid initial optimization. Continued developer support for updates and bug fixes is expected to further enhance the experience.

    • “The game runs smoothly, loading times are short, the music is great, and so far there are no audio bugs or long loading screens.”
    • “If the developers continue to consistently release updates for optimizations, bug fixes, and commit to producing content for the game long-term, it can definitely become one of the most fun games you can have on your phone!”
    • “As the first review of this game, it's exactly like the 2018 version, I love this game and it runs smoothly.”

  • replayability

    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    100% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    The game offers solid replayability through varied characters, weapons, missions, and upgrades, making it engaging for a runner. Additionally, planned future content promises to further enhance its replay value.

    • “It's surprisingly fun for a runner, with good replayability, different characters, weapons, missions, and upgrades.”
    • “I know that there's a roadmap which includes adding new content, so I'm hopeful they can increase replayability in the future.”

  • character development

    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    100% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    The game showcases strong character development through creative mechanics and compelling designs, revealing great potential for further growth and depth.

  • stability

    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 100% negative mentions

    The game's stability is hindered by a problematic ticket system that introduces bugs and frustration, detracting from the overall experience. Improving or modifying this system could significantly enhance stability and player satisfaction.

    • “It would've been a five-star game, but the ticket system genuinely ruins the whole experience. At least make it less buggy or ensure that completing acts doesn't cost tickets.”
