★★★★★ Justin F. · Jul 16, 2015

1 more try I tell myself as I restart 10 more times Collecting doves has never been so much fun. The original nitro me jam game was good, endless doves was great, but this version comes out on top. The scenery art is amazing, the music fits it oh so well, and the controls are spot on as I remember them. There is a lot of gameplay time here if you mean to obtain all the little birdies. But to end my review; If you don't mind failing more than you'd like to admit, if you enjoy Game Boy era games, and love to sleep, this is the game for you my friend.

Cute and nostalgic As someone who was a big fan of Game and Watch, I fell in love with this game's retro soundtrack and gorgeous art style. The game is hard as hell, but you'll have a great time with it.

Ok game Nice graphics. The game itself is not bad, just annoyingly hard, be prepared do repeat regular levels a few dozen times.

Nitro me makes the best games Has a seriously honest advert, haha. You do die loads but isn't impossible. It's like flappy birds in the sense that its unbelievably addictive, but unlike flappy bird its very fun and feel fantastic when you get though a hard level. The music is cute and pixels are charming and nostalgic, exactly what I expect from a nitro me game :D

Refund I want a refund for this app. I kept pressing refund but it wouldn't work.

Boring I played this game and collected all 242 doves, but there was no secret ending nor a bonus level. Not even an explanation as to why this guy is flying through a dream world created by doves harnessing power from another man to power a Game Boy. Whoever came up with the plot had some real shoddy writing skills and the lore sucks. Make a game that's more than just a flash project.
