Within the overcrowded genre of "endless runners" Whale Trail stands out thanks to its psychedelic artdesign, while the mechanics are similar to the likes of Tiny Wings or Jetpack Joyride.

Whale Trail is one of the best "endless run" on the App Store, thanks to the fantastic mix between atmosphere and gameplay. A great level design and the particular soundtrack complete an already splendid picture.

Whale Trail is just plain awesome.

Whale Trail is a very simple but addictive and fun runner game that has aged very well. The soundtrack is well made and the artstyle has a very nice charm. It's simplicity can be a bit of a downside, even with its "Challenge packs" of short levels and lots of unlockables, so I can't promise this game will hold your free time for years to come.

simple concept and gameplay and a enjoyable game. does get repetitive though.

Relaxing music, nice graphics and simple to play. I love this game, one-button side-scrolling game, I would suggest it for kids (4+). If I would have to put the game in one word, I would use mesmerising.

Whale Trail contains all the components of a hit iOS game – colorful visuals, catchy music, a cute main character, and gameplay that's easy for anybody to pick up but hard to master. But somehow, it manages to not feel forced or contrived.

Impressive, delirious and addictive. I love this game. It seems like a kid book with the main xarachter and the environment. Animations ate also impressive and final crazy characters strange but a good goal to bit previous score. A must have ^^

Replay value is great, as the endless nature gives you plenty of opportunity to best your score and compete against others.

'Been there, done that' isn't quite fair to say of a game like Whale Trail. Although it may seem like yet another endless title, its stellar level of presentation; clever level layout variation; and simple control scheme make it worth checking out, even if it doesn't last forever.

Whale Trail is like a pleasant psychedelic daydream that's over before you know it.

Be mindful, though, that beyond the visuals, the game offers little new, so don't expect to still be playing it in a year's time.

Whale Trail is a fun and addictive side scroller. During my time playing it, however, I had one question. Why dies this game exist? There are no other games like it.
