Nice Idea

How about an option to load other texts?

Great concept

This game is a wonderful idea and I enjoy playing it. Thank you! It would, however, benefit from a chapter selection option, so that it is easier to pick up where one left off.

This is so fun!

This is such a cool idea, I love how engaging it makes the story, I havent been able to keep my attention on a long story in forever and this really helped

classic

this is a really good way to get me to read really fast and keep me interested enough to not stop. I love this game feeling of reading and wish i could read more books like this!

Brilliant

This is a great idea and very well executed. Perfect for everyone. It would be neat if you had the ability to add in your own texts/books.

Genius

I cant stop laughing while I play it. In a few days, I would have read all of Pride and Prejudice. top lel

Typos

A brilliant idea and a fun way to read the book. But for some reason all the "Mrs. Bennet" references say "Mr. Bennet"! Its hard to sort out, sometimes, without going back a page.

Brilliant idea, well executed!

Turning reading a literary classic into playing a game! Just what we need to make classics fun! The format makes a long book not daunting at all, Great game from a thoughtful developer!

So clever!

Its a fun little game that features a mini Elizabeth and the text of Pride and Prejudice. Its silly but youll get a rush when you make it to pivotal scenes in the novel and the added context of a game makes the novel appeal even more to non-readers. So excited about this app!

No more wasted time!

This game is brilliant! I tend to find myself wasting time with dumb games on my phone, but this game is something completely different. This game is fun, but also intelligent. When I would normally dumb down my intelligence with games, I am able to tackle a classic book. I like the simple setup of the game, it makes it easier to focus on the text. I think that this should become a whole new genre of iPhone games. Excellent!

Make a library!

This is a great game, and makes reading, or re-reading, a classic fun and relaxing. If we could just get some more titles available, itd be perfect! Im thinking of a jumping whale for Moby Dick. A train for Anna Karenina. ;)

Amazingly fun!

Ive read Pride and Prejudice several times but this has to be the most endearing, rewarding read through yet! I cant wait to see more from this brand.

Great fun for the "Pride and Prejudice" fan!

This app is exactly what it says it is--Elizabeth runs along the text. While I wouldnt recommend it for a first time read of "Pride and Prejudice", its great fun to reread in this format. The breaks in the text (where Lizzy must jump) add emphasis to certain phrases of the story, and create a new way of experiencing, what is for me (and many), a well-trod story.

Clever idea, but...

Clever idea, but the words are too blurry as they pass for the text to be readable on the higher speeds, which is the only way Id like to read the book. (And thats on an iPad Air 2, with all other apps closed.) Its not that my eyes cant keep up, its that the words themselves are blurry. Please address in an update?

I bought the game by accident

And its awful to boot. I want my money back.

Awesome

You play Lizzy Bennet as she runs and jumps over the words of Pride and Prejudice. Need I say more?

MORE PLEASE!

I was supposed to read Pride and Prejudice in High School. I chose rather to fail - and thus repeat my senior year - than read it (somehow I just managed to graduate). I have since tried, on principle, to read it, maybe to atone for my profligate youth. Still nothing doing. But geez, make it an endless runner and I finish it in a few days! So my request is Please make more: Tale of Two Cities...Vanity Fair...Lady Chatterlys Lover...any number of the classics Ive been *supposed* to read but havent. You are brilliant.

Love it

This is the best!!! More books, please!

Love this!

This app is so fun and worthwhile. Buy it if you feel like reading but also really want to play a game! :)

Brilliant!

Fun and educational. This is the type of thing that gives me hope for the future of game development and humanity in general. This is the sort of smart, fun, and educational game that weve been promised for decades. Bravo!
