Although this genre's been done to death, Harold's inspired levels, imaginative mechanics, eye-popping presentation, endless charm, and steep challenge separate it from the pack. It's only that latter element that crosses the line, sometimes making Harold more frustrating than fun.

Cool concept, but Harold is too monotonous to entertain. Just three gameplay modes (including the tutorial), no level editor, very few interactive objects.

It would be easy to write Harold off as a mobile game out of its depth, and I'd be lying if I said the basic concept of the game doesn't scream out for touch controls—it would certainly be the most intuitive way to play. That issue aside, Harold's charming visuals and comical tone may come across as deceptively simplistic, but it offers depth and challenge to those who make it past the slow pace of the first few levels.

Incredible funny graphic, animation. Guaranteed the loud guffawing. Good sounds, music. Very stupid (positive) story. But short and very difficult.

Harold is a fun game for fans of the continuous runner genre, and against all odds it actually manages to take such a simple genre and build on it in a genuine and unique manner. It has a fairly steep learning curve, but despite taking on the role of an angel, the ability to hinder opponents is actually devilish fun.

A cute racing game where instead of racing, you are forced to protect an incompetent runner. A tough task for a guardian angel and a difficult and challenging game that manages to entertain if you can afford it's difficulty.

I would recommend Harold only to those people who love trial and error games, have nerves of steel and are fond of testing them. They are probably the ones who will find the game fun and interesting.

Harold is certainly enjoyable to look at, and occasionally is fun to play. The high difficulty level and forced practice sections keep it a strictly middle of the road experience though.
