“…a simple platformer with ambitious goals. Your spunky, pixelated avatar runs across the screen to the right familiarly, defeating as many enemies as possible while conserving ammo….Throwing tampons at people feels very, very cool.” - KillScreenDaily.com

“…an 8-bit video game with a big mission” - Today.com

Addictive & boys love it too!

This is so addictive, it has replaced Candy Crush for me. My daughters love it & the boys are enjoying it too. Tampon Run is quickly becoming "the cool thing to do". The young girls who invented this game are incredible & I saw their promo video. They hit every point on the money, from lifting the period taboo to getting more girls into STEM fields. Clearly excellent parenting. Cheers to their moms & dads. I never write a review this long, but I'm guessing these reviews are actually being read by the creative-genius-future-leaders that created this game & I have a message for them: The pea-brains that have something negative to say about the politics of your game are whiners. AND YOU GOT THEM WHINING! Good job, girls. For every negative review, it's a win for you. They are taking the game play far too seriously (boo-yeah) while surely condoning video games with actual violence. I am sharing your game with everyone I know. NO SHAME. Also the maxis with wings?? I'm so proud I could cry. I would like to shake your hands. Keep it up. Don't stop. God bless.

AWEOSME MESSAGE

This game is what I need honestly. I am that girl with no filter. I talk about my period no matter who's in the room. It shouldn't be stigmatized. So yeah now my boyfriend has this game too.
I do have some suggestions though. I know it's meant to be more of a PSA than game but since it's still a game what about some upgrades? maybe a jumbo pack? That carries more than 5 tampons? Super tampons, that maybe can shoot down two enemies in a row. Maybe you could pick up some pamprin or chocolate or something that gives you invincibility for like a few seconds? Seriously guys that would be great

Girl power?

I'm new to all the politics that surround this game. I don't really care to get involved because games are for enjoyment. If I wanted to be lectured, I'd attend a panel discussion or find a lecture app.
This game is pretty simple to understand, just collect, shoot and dodge. Almost like Temple Run with a gun. It was ok for a few minutes but it felt like playing Flappy Bird or Temple Run all over again. The music is an 8-bit chip tune which is a little annoying but that's what volume control is for. Overall, get this game if you support the developers' ideas or you just want a game to play while you wait somewhere. You may get a few laughs or eye rolls if other people see your screen though.
I tried getting my wife to play too but she thought the game was too silly. I'm starting to think so too. I don't think it's worth keeping.
3 stars for being another iPhone time waster. At least this is free.
