    Featuring fun challenges, bite-sized gameplay, and a new level every day for the next 1,000 days, 1000 Heroz will remain a fresh experience for years to come.

    A great title which will engage those who dare to play it for more than five minutes.

    1000 Heroz has the potential to be something really amazing, but the slow release of levels means you'll either need to put it aside for a time or knuckle down to obsessing over one race per day.

    1000 Heroz's daily task mechanic is what really makes this game stand out, and encourages the kind of long-term play that the strongest iOS games have.

    A fun little side scroller with the promise of plenty more levels to come.

    Utterly addictive in nature, 1000 Heroz's series of daily races is undoubtedly hard to put down, though working out the right path from the wrong one is even more difficult than in a bible parable.

    The finely tuned platforming lays solid foundations for a leaderboard racer, and the custom leaderboards are well implemented, but this just doesn't feel like something you'll be playing in a month, never mind three years. You can't fault its ambition, and it may yet transform itself into an essential title, but presently, 1000 Heroz falls short of its lifespan.

    Was a bit sceptical at first, but man am I hooked now. I love the characters and the way the physics work. You really have to land correctlyWas a bit sceptical at first, but man am I hooked now. I love the characters and the way the physics work. You really have to land correctly and stay on the ground as much as possible to get the fastest time. The daily leaderboards are great and this is just the kind of game you can just pick up and play for a while and then come back to later. Even though it already gets on my nerves when I've been restarting a level for hundred times, I can't help but to keep playing :D… Expand

    When I first saw details of this game I thought it looked like another Chop Chop runner clone. I couldn't have been more wrong! Any fans ofWhen I first saw details of this game I thought it looked like another Chop Chop runner clone. I couldn't have been more wrong! Any fans of Trials HD should be instantly hooked as 1000 Heroz has exactly the same "just one more go" mentality. The courses are tough to master with expert timing and a deft thumb tap required to hit the perfect line. The controls are simple and intuitive (no tilt sensor used thank god) and the use of momentum really does make for a challenging experience. Hit the downslope cleanly and you'll keep momentum. Overshoot and your speed drops dramatically. It's this striving for precision that keeps you coming back whenever you have 5 minutes spare.
    The daily leaderboards are fiercely competitive and the ability to make a custom league for you and your friends is a nice addition too.
    All in all one of the best games in terms of gameplay and value for money to grace the AppStore.    … Expand

    This is a very addicting platforming game. The touchscreen controls are very well executed, the art style is appealing, and the game itselfThis is a very addicting platforming game. The touchscreen controls are very well executed, the art style is appealing, and the game itself constantly challenges you to better your times through daily leaderboards, medal times, and the inclusion of "relics" which are unlocked after earning the silver medal time on any particular level.

    My only irk with this game is how the relic system is executed. While they add a huge incentive to achieve a silver medal time, it takes away from the ultimate goal of earning a gold medal since you don't earn anything more by doing so. It leaves the gold medal time more of a chore that should be completed than a challenge that needs to be conquered.    … Expand
