Dumb Ways to Die
Reviews and Complaints

I love the premise of the game and a lot of the mini-games are great!
I'm luckily not having the same issue that most are with Space Man Splat (maybe it's because I'm playing on the iPad Mini) but there are a few things with the iPad mini that are SUPER HARD (like, impossible).
The Vomit one is probably the worst. Now it has a bug that even when I DO manage to clear the whole screen he still slips and I lose a life (not good when I'm trying to get to 2000).
The other really obnoxious one is the Piranhas. After a certain point there's NO time to react and it just bites the guy.
ALSO: With the new Electricity one - it's great, fun, and easy but the colors of the wires aren't that great. I'm colorblind and the red-ish pink one and the green look EXACTLY the same. I've already lost a life on that game a few times because I was either spending too much time trying to differentiate or because I connected them wrong. Having a colorblind option that used Shapes like TwoDots would be really useful.
This is the sort of game that I'd like to be able to let my autistic brother play but there are so many lags and bugs that I simply can't because we'll both get too frustrated.

I would like to give this app zero stars if I could.
Never ever EVER give this app to a child. The so many ways to die, although supposed to be humorous, will give a child nightmares. Do you want a child to see headless cartoon monsters, monsters split in half, monsters covered in wasps? This isn't the way to be funny! I have nothing against good humor, but this is horrible! It is good that they are trying to tell us to be safe around trains, but in so sanguinary of an image? It is absolutely horrifying and grotesque and gruesome! I will never be able to fathom why in the world this app got on the Top Charts!
Almost all the other one star reviews say that this app doesn't load or it freezes or something, but honestly, YOU DON'T WANT IT TO LOAD. YOU DON'T WANT TO SEE IT. And to those people to say that this is a great game and stuff, they're so superficial! What's wrong with you?! How is this a great game? It's funny? It's fun? NO! It is NOT funny to see someone get attacked by a rattlesnake, it is NOT entertaining to see someone's head get chopped off by a train!
Absolutely terrifying! DON'T EVER GET THIS TERRIBLE APP!

This game is a whole number of things. It is fun and funny when you die (at first), which was my whole draw to the game in the first place. If you buy to get rid of ads, when you try to get the occasional extra life that is offered when you watch an add, it just says loading experience and doesn't work. So you pretty much can't get an extra life when you buy it, but can when you don't. It needs a fix for that. If you don't, you'll get the extra life, but expect to 30 second ads every time you get a game over. Which in this game can happen pretty quick. There are also some non-responsive and sometimes excruciatingly precise controls in a few of the games, which doesn't help you chances as the games speed up as you progress. Apart from those grievances, the game is really fun and keeps itself interesting by the wide range of puzzles you get to play, as well as give the player some initiative to keep playing by earning coins which you can use to better customize your own bean and buy stickers you can use to message your friends with. Overall, it's a great way to keep yourself preoccupied during a long trip or just to entertain yourself in your free time. Do expect to have occasional frustrations when you play, but don't think that won't keep you from playing again.

I used to love playing this game on my cousins phone whenever we visited them, and since they live far I haven’t seen them In awhile so I forgot about it, though the catchy theme song would be in my head randomly.
I met my cousins again after a year or two and was reminded of this game, so I downloaded it. It brings back a ton of memories and I like it more than I actually thought I would !
I’ll admit some of the challenges are a bit easy, but it’s geared towards younger kids so that’s why. It keeps me pretty entertained and I like the animations. I recommend getting it for when you’re bored or are in the mood to play.
Some people are annoyed by the amount of ads played, which I normally am too and delete apps all the time because there were just too many annoying ads. While there are frequent ads, I understand that it’s one of the only ways this game makes any money, and I enjoy the game enough to endure the ads. You can also pay for a no-ad package if you like. It really depends on your preference and if your willing to watch a couple ads in between challenges ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Anyways I'd recommend this game to anyone interested and I'm giving it 5 stars, but of course it's really up to you but I'd try it out cuz no harm in trying, right ? :))
(Apologies for a long review but I felt like sharing so yEaH)

This game is very fun and I like to play it whenever I'm bored. But, there are a few things that could be fixed:

The vomit clean up game is really unfair, it doesn't seem to matter how much I clean up, it seems pure luck wether I win or lose, and I lose most of the time.

The plane game never shows up for me. I think I got it only once. I haven't disabled the microphone, so why is it not showing up? The other games seem to show up at a reasonable rate.

This isn't that big of a problem, but sometimes when I play the tilting game when I tilt my phone in the other direction the guy still falls. This doesn't happen too often though.

A few games could be added, like the clothes dryer and drug dealer ones from the video aren't in the game. For the clothes dryer you could keep tapping the screen like the guy in the dryer is trying to punch the dryer door out so he can get out. If you run out of time, the dryer starts and he starts swirling around. For the drug dealer you could have something similar to the don't press the red button game, like a character staring at the car trying not to touch it. If you don't the character will look up at the dealer and run away, and if you fail the dealer stuffs you in a bag and smacks you with a bat like in the video.

So, this game is fun, but it can be improved. I hope you listen to my suggestions.

This game is WAY too hard, if you’re the developers, put a button in settings to disable the harder games, but not all of them, like, make it so you can disable The Glue One that you need to tilt, The Plane One that you need to swipe for (why I think thats hard is because it is so glitchy to me at least, it doesn’t work when I swipe most of the time), The Boat Sinking One that you have to swipe (Because it never ever worked, you didn’t give enough information about it), The Memory One with the shapes on the buttons (Because some people, like me, have bad memory), and The Puke One that you have to clean the puke on the screen (Because some people, like me, have GIGANTIC SCREENS). But still keep it fun and the other ones that are super hard, make a disabling button for them, but only if they have to do with skill like memory, and one last thing, Be More Specific With The Directions AND Give Time To Read The Directions AND THEN I Will Rate 5 stars (Sorry I asked for so much) (PS, Make it ad free again please, the ads crash my game a lot and if you do all of this AND make the practice free for each one [because what’s the point of buying the practice with so much coins that once you get them all you would’ve mastered it already] and maybe make most of the disable buttons cost coins [but not like 1000 coins per button, maybe like 150 per a easy one, 300 per a normal difficulty one, and 500 per a hard/glitchy/memory one] I will try to get a popular YouTuber to make a video on this game, and to make it possible for me to promote it on YouTube, your gonna have to make a recording button in pause and settings if you didn’t already)

I love this game and i think its a great time passer! It is fun, challenging, and silly. (Probably wouldn't recommend it to really young children tho) i think its cool how you are given a goal of getting a certain amount of points in a game and if you reach the goal you get a new character (and once you pass the 800 mark you get a cool music video thats catchy and pretty interesting). Thats one reason i play it so much lol "BRUH GOTTA GET A NEW CHARACTER FOR DA TRAIN STATION!" but some mini games have mild problems that annoy me... in some of them it wont read my finger trying to connect something or etc (the connecting the balloons to the hand, the flicking the piranhas away, and the connecting the wires are three examples). The barf minigame is a bit annoying because it once again it doesn't work fir a split second when i tap the screen and it sometimes still doesn't let me with the game even when i have at least 90% of it cleaned up. The last problem i can think of within the mini games this the mini game where you have to tilt the device to get the helmet. Whenever i try to move the guy down or up by tilting the device down or up, he just stays where he is which pretty much makes the game impossible if you are trying to go around the astroids. Finally, i was a bit confused when i saw the medicine thing and the dryer thing and the thing where there was a guy in a bag (idk lol) all in the music video but i didn't see them in gameplay. I thought they were actually games that were added in and that they weren't showing up. Sorry i had so much to complain about i overall love this game tho and i rate it 5 stars. its just as good as the secondth one which i played first for some reason lol

This game is pretty fun, and very addictive. Although, there are some things that could make it better. First, it glitches A LOT. Ugh! When it glitches, it causes you to die. The point of the game is NOT to die! Sometimes, I am doing the right thing to do in the round, but it glitches and freaks out, and I die, even though I wasn’t doing ANYTHING wrong. Second, there are WAY to many ads. Even if I want to do something simple like go to the home menu thing, an ad pops up. If you’re like me, and can’t stand ads, don’t get this game. You have to be really tolerant of ads and patient to actually like this game. By now I’m used to it, but would appreciate if there weren’t as many ads. Third, a lot of the different round/game things DON’T let you survive! For example, the “leaky landlubber” game usually doesn’t let me survive. The point of that game/round/whatever you call all the different ways of dying is to get to the shore as fast as possible. It never lets me! Also, most of the daily challenge games don’t allow me to survive. The daily challenges are WAY harder to survive than the normal thing. Okay, something I also just remembered is that for the “food fright” mini game, I click the healthier choice, and for some reason, it changes to the rotten food, and makes me die, even though I clicked the healthy apple or cookie that isn’t rotten. PLEASE FIX THIS!

I can’t lie, this game is really entertaining and fun otherwise. If you’re able to deal with glitches, ads, and times when it’s literally impossible for you to survive, I highly recommend! Those small things could really make a difference in the game, though. I hope I gave you some important information about this game you should know before getting it. I love this game other than glitching and ads. I also think this game is really creative, but needs work in many areas.

This game stinks because once you get to the faster levels its to hard for instance: during the private parts as bait level the fish come sooooo fast u can't kill them all, the next one is the rattle snake hotdog level if you are of by even a little you loose which is so stupid its just a speck! Then there's the balloon level where u attach it to his hand i put it to his hand but it wouldn't stick to him! Then there's the vomited pie level where u clean it up and if u don't clean every speck of the screen he falls! Also there should be more levels because only 6 get boring you should have at least 1 level for each character!.! And last but not least the super glue level where you tilt your device is way to sensitive too sensitive it's almost impossible to beat!.

I was at 2300 and I needed 2400 to get the new character but the thing is they gave me so many minus points for “bad luck” that I should have ended with almost 2600. I have dedicated years of my life this and they repay me with “bad luck” please only play if you have good luck otherwise you will break your iPad like me.

Also it’s so unresponsive that I die so many times when I swipe even though I am using my new iPad Pro 12.9 inch. Also when I tap it doesn’t work either.

The game is also extremely unrealistic there is no way someone can throw up that much and still be all right after that even if you clean it up because throwing up that much pretty much means that you have no nutrients in your body for you to survive.

Here is a list of the ones with bugs:
The cactus one
The airplane one

My old review: I will stop playing this game if you don't fix some things:

1. The clean-up vomit game is way too difficult along with the defend the private parts game too

2. Make a game for all of the characters in the song. Most characters aren't even in the game

3. Get rid of "bad luck" and "boo" bonuses that delete some of your score

I have been able to complete all of the levels even late in the game except the two games I mentioned earlier. Please fix these things or I will give this game a 1-star rating until it is fixed.

My new review: I am definitely excited about the new update but not everything was changed that I asked for so I am carrying through with what I said and changing my review to 1-star until ALL things are fixed. Although I applaud you in taking that first baby step.

Don't show ads that steal control of the audio, breaking whatever's playing in the background. No video ad is important enough to turn off my audio book and make me close the video, exit this app, scroll through a few screens, click on the Audi book app, press play, scroll through a few more screens, open my game folder, tap on the game again, and start again.

If you really want to make more than a pittance while not frustrating your users, either throw in a banner ad, or include minor product placement. You can make these ads more classy, by making some car a Toyota or by putting a billboard advertising something in the background. Ads don't have to be annoying or interfering, because that just associates your advertiser's brand with frustration. Bad idea for advertisers, advertisement carriers, and users.

It used to work fine on my iPod but I didn't play it for a day, and it just stopped. I go to play it while listening to music, and the sound won't stop. I go to play it and I press start game and the screen goes blank black for 2 seconds, and it goes back to the start game train station screen, and it completely goes frozen. I can't touch any thing and I have to turn my iPod all the way off(no the home button won't even work) And some times I can't turn it off because it won't say slide to turn off so I have to wait until it dies I hate this STUPID GAME! I would like it if I could play it. Update or I uninstall. All of my friends already uninstalled it so did my teacher of of our iPads at school. I have an iPod touch 5th gen. 32 gb model. I never want to hear dumb ways to die again I am uninstalling NOW!

So I was playing the game when all of the sudden it froze then crashed. I was not very happy about this and I was in the middle of a game close to getting another character. Although, before it had crashed I had thought it was a funny game. However, I think I may have second thoughts. Another problem I had with the game is some of the levels are a bit to hard such as the piraña level. I have to wait till the pirañas to stop to swat them away so when the game goes faster the pirañas don't stop which makes it hard to swat them away. Another level would be the tilting one. The sensitivity needs to be a little lower because if I tilt it to the left and a bit and it starts to tilt a lot I think it tilts to fast which makes it hard to get the guy back to the right or straight up. Lastly, I do believe all the dumb ways to die should be in the game.

Ads, ads, and more ads. I mean, y’all do realize us consumers are going to reach a point where it becomes too much and we give up on your products no matter the quality. I’d understand one after every game, developers need to be paid, but the fact that so many of the mini games involve using the entire screen, making it rather likely for you to accidentally hit the pause button and have to watch multiple ads through one game, is so ridiculous. I kept dying multiple times because I would hit the pause button, have to watch an ad, and when I came back the dude would croak. I mean, at least have a functioning pause system if you’re going to exploit it for money. Maybe if I didn’t feel like this app was deserving of requiring payment I would buy the ad free version, but that would entail a positive experience with the product. Ten minutes in and it’s unplayable.
