SelectButtonKevin MitchellFeb 20158/10The sheer amount of things that can be done in Harold is astounding. I never thought an endless runner game could become as complex as the game Mood Spider has created, and yet I've found myself drawn to the challenge. Even after acing the practice segments, adding in the additional racers creates a new dynamic. Less hand holding and full on old-school experience, Harold's gameplay is only surpassed by the top-notch animation and vibrant visuals.

DestructoidConrad ZimmermanFeb 20157.5/10Between its charming premise, beautiful graphics, and demanding gameplay, Harold is a winner in the end. Players who appreciate auto-running platform games should find it to be a fresh approach to the concepts found in such titles and a worthy challenge.

Digitally DownloadedFeb 20154/5 starsHarold 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.

God is a GeekGreg HillMar 20155/10Harold is enjoyable enough, but the omnipresent AI, kindergarten story and the unshakable feeling of being unconquerable ruin the experience.

Attack of the FanboyKyle HansonFeb 20152.5/5 starsHarold 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.
