## Review summary

Kayos is a visually striking, fast-paced endless runner that players find addictive and engaging. It offers two game modes and flexible controls with adjustable sensitivity. The core experience is praised for its visuals, speed, and progression. Main drawbacks include overly sensitive tilt controls, lack of full screen-size optimization, intrusive ads, and occasional restore-purchase issues. Players also want more control customization, including a manual option.

### Pros

- Addictive and highly engaging gameplay that keeps players coming back.
- Stunning visuals with smooth, fast-paced motion and strong sense of speed.
- Flexible controls with multiple schemes and per-scheme sensitivity sliders, including finger or tilt input.
- Two game modes and escalating level design provide variety and high-score replayability.
- Overall polish and a strong sense of progression, with favorable comparison to Boost 2.

### Cons

- Tilt/accelerometer controls are overly sensitive with insufficient customization; many players want even lower sensitivity or a manual control option.
- Not optimized for newer iPhone screen sizes (e.g., iPhone X) and needs a proper screen-size update.
- Ads can be intrusive and lengthy, including ad interruptions between sessions and gating restore options.
- Restore purchases sometimes fail or require watching ads to access the option after each session.
- Requests for a dedicated manual control option are not currently fulfilled.
