    Not much to say about it. This game is brilliant, simple, and flat out amazing. In my opinion it is the only iPhone game that keeps anyone intersted for more than 5 minutes. Completely unrepetative, and interesting level design. Games these days occasionally need the three Ss, Short, Sweet, and Simple. And Mikey Shorts definetialy supplies. 10 out of 10.

    Awesome platformer game. Controls, graphics, gameplay, music, learning curve, everything work amazing. If you are looking for a fun and challenging game, I really recommend this game.

    If you think the game ends when you get three stars on every level, you're dead wrong. The game ends when you're #1 in all the GameCenter leaderboards!

    Closest I've gotten is #12 on Level 6-3. It's tricky!

    I think this platformer is one of the best in its genre in mobile. However the virtual buttons are a definite turn off for me as they keep slipping. The mechanics are solid and speedrunning the game is the best part as the basic game is pretty short.

    A few hours of solid entertainment. [Nov 2012, p.29]

    It's a platformer completely devoted to its time attack mechanics, which leaves much to be desired in terms of graphics and extra content and thus might not appeal to everybody.

    Controls are simple and effective. A two-way control pad for movement and two large buttons for jumping and sliding under low platforms. They're responsive and work well without getting in the way.
