Nov 20, 2011Whale Trail is just plain awesome.
-
Oct 27, 2011One of the finest games we've had the privilege of experiencing. It joins Tiny Wings, Angry Birds and Cut the Rope as a handful of quality titles you must absolutely have on either your iPhone or iPad.
-
Nov 1, 2011Whale Trail contains all the components of a hit iOS game – colorful visuals, catchy music, a cute main character, and gameplay that's easy for anybody to pick up but hard to master. But somehow, it manages to not feel forced or contrived.
-
Oct 26, 2011Whale Trail's gameplay is simple yet addictive, making it the perfect kind of game for an iPhone.
-
Oct 21, 2011While the perfectly balanced scoring system encourages replays, it's really the presentation, effort and generally cute 60's vibe that makes Whale Trail stand out, alongside that instantly memorable soundtrack from Gruff Rhys. Whale Trail is a refreshing blast of multicoloured fun that will brighten up even the darkest day.
-
Oct 21, 2011Replay value is great, as the endless nature gives you plenty of opportunity to best your score and compete against others.
-
Oct 20, 2011Just an absolute joy. With mechanics that are nearly perfect, and a style that is difficult to out-do, this is a game that must be checked out by anyone who likes endless runner games, or anyone who just likes to feel happy while they play. This game is just fun.
-
Nov 25, 2011Whale Trail is one of the best "endless run" on the App Store, thanks to the fantastic mix between atmosphere and gameplay. A great level design and the particular soundtrack complete an already splendid picture.
-
Feb 1, 2012Within the overcrowded genre of "endless runners" Whale Trail stands out thanks to its psychedelic artdesign, while the mechanics are similar to the likes of Tiny Wings or Jetpack Joyride.
-
Oct 26, 2011'Been there, done that' isn't quite fair to say of a game like Whale Trail. Although it may seem like yet another endless title, its stellar level of presentation; clever level layout variation; and simple control scheme make it worth checking out, even if it doesn't last forever.
-
Oct 21, 2011Simple to play, utterly charming, and completely addictive, Whale Trail has all the makings of a great mobile game.
-
Oct 20, 2011A charming confection that's impossible not to like, with stellar production values and solid gameplay.
-
Oct 26, 2011Whale Trail is like a pleasant psychedelic daydream that's over before you know it.
-
Oct 25, 2011It's a breezily entertaining flight through seven coloured environments, though it never quite generates the same feeling of mastery as its inspiration: reaching the Violet Zone for the second time isn't as significant an achievement as diving down to the undulating surface of Island 9.
-
Nov 15, 2011Be mindful, though, that beyond the visuals, the game offers little new, so don't expect to still be playing it in a year's time.
