Players of this robot unicorn attack have provided some criticisms on the game. Some say that the graphics used in the game is pretty impressive especially for a simple flash game. The unicorns animations that are incredibly realistic and pleasant to the eyes, add excitement to the game. It is pretty obvious that the game developers toiled much time and were really committed in doing the design and outlook of the program, and the way it is played and how the quest starts and ends. Considering its fantasy aesthetic appearance, the rainbows that trail from your unicorn while doing the leap never fail to make you more engrossed and inspired to play more. In addition, the dolphins that you encounter as you fairly go far enough with the game surprises you more. And the most addictive part of the game is the soundtrack that truly fits the atmosphere of the game. It keeps you acquainted and lets you enjoy as you groove through the music.

Other detractors of the game have explicitly created a stand against the game. Accordingly, the robot unicorn attack which is a game played by running and performing a dash attack, breaking through stars, going through different obstacles, avoiding falls into pit and other stuffs is way too simple and common. In this game, there is no pay-off for the glorious deed acting as a unicorn. This is somewhat a ridiculous game that only wastes your time but let’s you enjoy for several minutes to hours, they exclaimed.

Some regard this game similar to Canabalt which is also a flash game. It may be addictive but there are still flaws that need to be corrected. One is the consideration that there are so numerous leaps to be made. The landscape or backgrounds of the scenery also need to be modified to create a variable look. A unicorn should look like a bit more magical than the one played in, the people added.

Anyhow, no matter what criticisms the game may stir, it really depends on the player. If you think the game enjoys you much and gives you satisfaction after, then play it. It is a simple game, so when you get bored then stop playing. This is the essence of a flash game.
