## Critical reception

Lad has received a mixed response, garnering a Metacritic score of 42% based on 7 critic reviews.[1]

AppAdvice wrote "I really wanted to enjoy the game, but the control mechanics and physics are enough of a stymie that I simply don't want to play. I really do hope to see improvements in future updates that make easy things, like jumping onto ledges, actually feasible",[2] while 148Apps said "LAD is an interesting game that takes a great deal of risk to present a difficult challenge to the player. In my opinion, though, it just wasn't worth it".[3]

TouchGen said "I rather think that during development someone pointed out that this might become a Limbo for iOS. At that time it seems creativity went out the window, and we ended up with level design and controls completely subpar. A shame, as LAD could probably have been a much more interesting game than "that game that looks like Limbo", which it is now".[4]

AppSpy wrote " Don't be fooled by its appearance - LAD may look like Limbo, but it's more gaming purgatory than heaven",[5] while HyperMagazine described it as "An extremely cumbersome, irritating game".[6] Pocket Gamer UK said "As depressing to play as it is to look at, LAD is a nightmarishly frustrating platform-puzzler",[7] and Slide To Play wrote "LAD is an unplayable mess and should not be bought by anyone".[8]
