I wish there were achievements for this game, it would REALLY benefit from them. One for each checkpoint, one for failings x amount of time, total time played, etc would be great. Additionally, having a few modes would be nice. There are also a few problems with the game, such as after dying, the player can still control the wheels of the wheelchair for a few seconds more. Also, the game will sometimes randomly crash for no reason. My best guess - some sort of memory leak? Also, levels feel like they repeat - especially the one with the rotating spikes and bridges. The controls could be better - I have several times had W and D pressed down but didn't quite fully release the D before pressing A, and found myself locked into W+D and veering off into an obstacle. Much like the rest of the game, it's like the concept is there, the implementation is half there, but then during polishing of the game, the developers instead went for lunch at the local pub and released the game as was. But, it honestly is a fun and challenging game with really cute aesthetics - it just needs more polish. That said, this came out in 2020 and it is now 2023 - the game is not in early access, it is released fully and I highly doubt these things will ever be implemented.
Tldr; Great beginnings of a game, doesn't seem truly finished. 4/10.

I think it could be fun if there were more diverse level sections, but it just repeats itself with no sense of progression. As well as this, it can't maintain a steady frame rate and often crashes after checkpoints. It's an interesting idea, but currently I think it's only worth playing if it's free :[.

Pretty cool game, Not sure if this is a problem with me running it with proton on linux, but while in game, the music didn't seem to loop so I only had music at the start of the game. Otherwise great and pretty fun. There is some lore if you think about it.

You know this was surprisingly well done. I got it on sale for 69 cents (Lol) and unlike some games I've purchased at that price, this one was legit worth it. It was a bit challenging because of the timing for jumps which if far better then when the game is hard due to poorly implemented mechanics. Fun little game for a quick upload 10/10 would buy again... Just at the less then 1 dollar price.

If ya'll want to see a little game play then: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vE09NExhA5o&t=2s

Enjoy like I did and thanks for chilling with Icy!

Well I bought this game as a joke and I am surprised. The gameplay is surprisingly decent, and i was able to finish the game in a hour or so. I couldnt fullscreen and couldnt hear any sound effects except for music. Beside that if you have couple dollars left in your wallet, then why not buy it. Also comment your moms number, thanks!

This game is so extreme that the chair is still controllable after i die.

The game is fine for what comes out, but I see several issues...

• The first is that it crashes a lot (It closes to me every time when I'm about to go through the level) , maybe the game starts pretty fast, so it doesn't matter (It's rare that I crash because I have a good pc) .
• You can not turn off the music, it becomes annoying but you can lower the volume from the pc.
• The game doesn't have a pause menu or anything similar, you can only pause it when you die.

• Really, the game crashes me all the time! Fix that, and give like.

Inside everything is fine for its price, but they are details to mention.
PS: If you see that I have spelling errors, it is because I am Spanish!

Context: I purchased RUN! GRANDPA! RUN! for myself (and 5 of my friends for memes) when it was 90% off (50 cents USD each).

I beat it in 29 minutes--the game crashed & closed 4x times in that 29 minutes.

IT WAS STILL INCREDIBLE.

Soundtrack is delightful, light, and makes you feel like you're shredding.
Controls are clean--delayed jumps are fun.

One Critique: God dammit, let me occasionally jump on one of the side blocks/do an alternate route. I tried hard, and you can do some fun stuff, but for the most part you can't access the side scenery, which would've taken my Rocket-powered wheelchair experience to the next level.

9/10 for 30 mins of fun per run -- with a meme-y surprise at the end!

Absolutely phenominal gameplay, dazzling graphics life changing, emotional, amazing story line, Heart warming, 12/10 would recommend, this game brought back my happiness that i lost years ago, I had no hope left after i was diagnosed with stage 5 cancer but after downloading this game I was cured of my stage 6 cancer (testicular). This game has brought me nothing but joy, absolute life changing game. The protagonist reminds me of my own grandpa who always said that back in his days he jumped mountains on his wheelchair with rocket engines to go to school. The game brought me to tears.

This game changed my life, i had a smile on my face for the entirety of my time playing this game. These past 20 minutes have meant more to me than my own mother. The ending will leave you in tears in a way you never expected but the joy that come from playing the game severely outweighs the sadness of finishing it. 10/10

Had me contemplating various aspects of mortality, existence, and the fleeting nature of life.

10/10 for the existential crisis. Would play again.

This is like one of those mobile games you would see in one of those jarring ads. While the premise is kinda funny and the game play is simple and fun, it gets held back in seconds of frame rate issues and crashes. I would recommend this game if it was more stable. If you are going to get this game, wait for it to be a dollar or less in price.
