Lifeline

Arguably best indie game on Android (on par with Kingdom Rush). The storytelling is genius. It brought me as a player so attached to Taylor. I felt like really need to help him out, to check him whenever he sent a message. A breath of fresh air. Showed us story matters more than graphic.

Brilliant, absolutely brilliant. Taylor's personality is the right mix of snark and worry and humour and vulnerability. Really brings out the mother hen and best friend in you. So glad a friend recommended this game to me! (plus I've always been an absolute sucker for space and science - I enjoy Taylor's little geeking out sessions). As a plus point - T's gender is kept ambiguous, so you could imagine 'em to be anything.

Was really disappointed that the game (a paid one!) only provide about 5 minutes of actual play time not counting the wait times. Good idea but needs a LOT more content to be worth the space on my phone let alone the price.

Loved the.game. It has a captivating story that really makes you feel for the character and gives you choice on what happens. I do wish however that they would have explored more of Taylor's story, what he was doing on the Varia, what he is like, where he comes from. Also, sometimes Taylor's a butthead and he doesn't listen, which seems kinda like a cheap way to not write more story endings.

Honestly this was spectacular! I loved every minute of this and I played for five days. You really get attached to Taylor. Usually I don't care for protagonist in games because I can just start over if they die, but for Lifeline I really thought over my options, and how they could effect Taylor's chances of survival. It was SO worth my dollar.

An amazing story. This is not a time killer game, its a peaceful game. It really makes you feel like you're Mission Control, communicating with an astronaught. The wait is part of the experience. The only thing I don't like is the notification spam. You can get dozens of notifications at a time with this app. I would recommend a single notification like "New Transmission from Taylor" so you know when to go on the app.

I absolutely love these games! I love being these characters lifeline! I love learning who Taylor is, helping him along the way. He's fun, he's so sweet and interesting to talk to in itself. Even without the interesting plot, I just enjoy talking to Taylor. The plot is interesting too. What I love the most is the game style. Looking forward to many more games!!! It's rare that I buy a game. It's even rarer that I buy every game they have on option!!

I nearly cried with relief when I found out Taylor survived. I mean, I know it's just a game, but you have to understand... I (we) DID THIS ON MY FIRST PLAYTHROUGH! I WAS SO STRESSED! Devs: Fantastic story, wonderful game! I really loved Taylor's character. Just one thing, can you please remember to add a notification noise to the notifications for any future games? Thanks for the amazing time!

It was an interesting game that lasted... Maybe 2 hours.. can get a better game that lasts longer than that for $2... Maybe worth $.50 imo since it was so short. It was mildly entertaining, not much detail in the story though.

It has been more than a year since I first played this, and the story seems to have developed quite a bit! It is a fantastic adventure and you really (surprisingly) start to care about the character, his choices, your choices and his survival! Gripping story played out over a couple of weeks for me. Well worth the money.

Great, creative story with interaction points all along the way. The delays seem cumbersome sometimes, but they also add a dimension of reality to the experience the first time. A truly interesting, involved game that leaves you checking for notifications whenever you grab your phone!????

So good. The dialog is a bit cheesy at times but I love the suspense. And I want Taylor to survive from the beginning of the story. Good job with pacing the game. It keeps you in suspense without being too long to wait. Here is to many more hours saving Taylor!

Very compelling. Whenever Taylor would say "give me a minute" I would find myself waiting the whole minute. I managed to rescue him on the first try but the whole way I was sure he would not make it. I now on to the sequel....

It's a great game. Very fun and good story. Your choices don't really affect anything except sometimes you die. Taylor is stupid, when he was complaining that his compass wasn't working I wanted to say " Yeah because your not on earth! Compasses point to EARTHS magnetic North pole, so unless the moon your on is exactly.the same it's not gonna work!"

This is the first time I've ever played a game like this & I didn't think I'd really get into it but I did! I actually found myself wanting to hear back from "Cadet Taylor" & checking my notifications. I even went back to see what happens when I respond in different ways. Good game!! I'm off to play Lifeline: Silent Night now!

Riveting story telling and Taylor is such a sweet and funny person that I would've been heartbroken if I got Taylor killed. I fortunately made the right moves but there was some pretty close calls! Looking forward to the next adventure.

I was initially wary about this game being entirely text based but the developers of the app did an amazing job at creating an interesting story and making a character that I felt really bad about when a decision I made eventually killed him. In all I would recommend if you don't mind a tiny bit of reading.

Love the concept. Got stuck to it in the first 10secs. I sometimes can't read the whole message (they are cut off at the bottom on N6P Android 8.0.0). Edit: at least in english they are. Not in German. O.o

Really interesting game. But I wish it was more nerve wrecking like I want to feel how much trouble hes in. There humor in this game and the way he talks just kind seems like its another day for him. And some of the dialogue was pretty "corny",and "cheesy". But overall if you have the time its pretty good to waste time on.

Other than stability issues that I'm only now experiencing after quite a bit of time playing causing a need to delete all my progress and restart from the beginning, the game enjoyable at first. The second half of the game feels repetetive and uninspired compared to the first half

Nowhere near completed the game but definitely loving it. The story writing is humorous and descriptive, which is great since this it exclusively text based. I like that Taylor has already formed somewhat of an opinion by the time you're forced to make a selection and will either agree or disagree with your choice, which is realistic and adds credibility to the character. Moreover, Taylor is extremely likable and that makes the experience much more enjoyable. Money well spent, indeed.

Great adventure in what feel like real time events. It's not a fast game, it's not a make your own adventure..you are a guide to a very unfortunate space traveller. For the money it's worth it.

Text based/interactive book game. Pretty much you make decsions for this stranded person on the moon. The story starts off simple but slowly gets better over time. I wont say its amazing but for what its offers you,its a good game. If you like a good story,check this out

I had typed sooo much on the review but it deleted when I scrolled a little ???? So, in summary of what I said: Best game I've played in a looong time, love the emotion and drive through the story (well, at least MY version), and I'm still coursing with energy because Taylor and i made it on the first try! I loved it sooo much! The awesome thing is that not only can I play it again, but that there's more adventures for me and Taylor to experience ???? Thank you so much for taking me on this EPIC experience! ????

I love this game so much! I had to get it again on my new phone because I missed this sarcastic guy! This is a very well done story, good job!

5 stars in every field. Great, great game in every aspect with a FANTASTICALLY written story, and not many can compete with it. Made me a fan of this kind of games and of this developer in particular. Also some great replayability value because of the different endings and a useful fast mode once you completed the story (skips all the waiting). 10/10.

I love this game so much! I loved helping Taylor through the journey, and managed to finish it on my 2nd attempt! (After accidentally rewinding it) anyway, I am definately recommending this to friends!! I absolutely love the sci-fi and some of it freaked me out, but in an awesome way!!! Totally worth the money.

Wow don't. Finally saved that slack ass moron. Is the writer that simple minded, or just the character? This is not a good cellphone game. This is not a time waster, this is a constant interruption over and over. Will NOT be getting anymore of these "games".

This game has a beautiful narrative. It's pacing really drives the immersion and the choices are not only relatable, but are varied enough that it doesn't feel binary.

Great game, love the story. I went back to play the game as a refresher of the story. And It doesn't work with Android Wear anymore, but the other titles do.

A good idea decently executed, however the occasional typos and improper grammar deter me from purchasing others from the series/developer/author. Given this works' focus on the written word, lax editing is inexcusable.

Story is mediocre. Player options are very limited. I can't believe I paid for this..... I suppose it's a little more engaging than scrolling through Facebook.

I'm stil trying to save him but it's a great game! It doesn't let you sit in front of it the whole day, because you have to wait for his answers, I like that.

A bit too short if you play it on fast mode. Kind of dull. Not bad but not good either

Fun and incredibly addictive! Very atmospheric and I felt like I was there. I also felt so bonded to the character and will almost miss our chats in space. Worth the money.

Totally engrossing interactive story. In a very short space of time, I grew quickly attached to Taylor and got really anxious for his wellbeing on multiple occasions. Really fun experience. I want more.

Superb. Saved Taylor on 1st attempt. Grew up with text adventures and thoroughly enjoyed it. Had a book when I was young called The Warlock of Firetop Mountain in which you choose scenarios to influence the ending, so brought back good memories of the genre. This is very well written and engaging. Bought next installment. Also tempted to go back and make some really bad decisions just to see what happens lol. Please keep the installments going :-)

Made it to the end and I'm rightly thrilled and anxious to see what happens next...best 99 cents I ever spent... Fast forward about 2 years and I found the game in my app list and played it again only to find out theres a lot more sequels. I loved the preview and just bought the second game. Here's to another adventure with Cadet Taylor

I'm not a fan of text based games (someone told me to try it), but the story is gripping and well written. Plus it has a "picobuttload" of comedy worked into it. Well worth every penny. Try this game.

Story heavy, perfect phone game. Note - if you're not into waiting for the next message, you can put the game into a fast forward mode in the settings. I think it's great as is, though.
