Leave a Review Old Man's Journey
Extremely boring “gameplay”
I’ve had this game on my wishlist forever. Let’s just say I’m glad I bought it on sale for $.99 and not at the full $4.99 price. I found myself really bored throughout the entire game but I had spent money so I was committed, hoping the gameplay would become more of a challenge at one point or another.... I wouldn’t even call it a “game”. It’s really just a full-on STORY that you kind of walk through. But you aren’t really interacting with the story at all. He’s just hiking. That’s it, he’s just taking a nice little stroll through the hills thinking of his life. Literally y’all, that’s it. The graphics are INCREDIBLE and stunning which is the only reason I even gave it 2 stars but you just drag the ground to make him hop from one area to another. Sometimes you have to move some sheep out of the way, that’s about the extent of the challenge. Maybe this is a real life story game and this is a tribute to a father or grandfather or something??? I’m not sure but either way, hindsight, if I would have known, I would have skipped this one.
Sorry 😬 it had so much potential...I think.Show lesssassytrash
Beautiful
I recently lost my mother due to sepsis and this game was one of the very few that could relate to the feelings of losing someone. the puzzles were amazing and i loved the art style even though it was frustrating at times it was worth it. I definitely will buy any other games you make if you decide to make more. This game touched a part of my heart thats been empty for a while and made me feel like someone understands thank you!Show lessSilver tails
A game focused on experience, not challenge
Although this game does not have super exciting gameplay, it has a simple puzzle aspect to it that lets you interact with the world in a way I never have done. The music was peaceful, the art style was beautifully done, and the touching story was told in a more powerful way than any other - On top of that, it did it without words. It’s an amazing experience to enjoy.Show lessAnimal Cracker 2.0
No clue
I have no clue what to do. This game is also so boring. All it has on it is some old man walking around the place. Who would want that? It also cost so much. I wasted my money on this app. I expected more from this app. I thought it would be more than some old old man. However I hope this app gets a little more interesting. How is this supposed to be fun? Can you update this app? I want it to be a little more fun. Maybe I would like it then. I don’t know how watching or moving stuff for the old man is supposed to entertain. This was supposed to be fun. It was such a waste. I do not recommend this app to anyone. This app should be free. Thank you. Now I kinda know what to do a little more. I will try the game again.Show lessgood or bad or rad
Developer Response
Here are some tips on how to proceed: - Tap anywhere to make the old man walk there (if he can). - The old man can jump between hills if they visually overlap. - Drag hills to make them overlap and thus build a path. - You can't drag the hill the old man is standing on. Move away from a hill to drag it. - You can interact with the environment and other people by tapping on them. Our game works better if you slow down, enjoy the journey and feel with the old man and his family. Hope you can find the time and space to enjoy your trip. Best, FelixBeautiful but overpriced
This game tells a story in such a visually compelling way, the puzzles were just complicated enough with whimsicle touches, but this was definitely not worth the pricetag of $3.99. There weren't enough levels and just not quite enough...it didn't quite leave you wanting more, but it left you feeling unfulfilled.
To make the game worth the price, it should come with either some more unique levels or a bonus exploration round where you can just walk around tapping on things.
Otherwise, the game is worth maybe $1.99.Show lessMorbid Lee O'bese
Nice art but the game is ridiculously easy and boring
Nice art but the game is ridiculously easy and boring. If it was 99 cents id say it was worth that for the 30 mins of nice art and music but at this price it’s way too expensive for what you get.M4TTH3W
Wow!
Rarely have I found such beautiful graphics with a storyline woven throughout clever puzzles and challenging gameplay. The music and animations combined with gorgeous interactive environments made this game a joy to play! I completed it over three months - it was like returning to an immersive novel and slowly unfolding the story as I had time to relax and engage with this old man to see where he was going. Can’t wait for more from this developer! Well done.Show lessRichaldir
Sweet little game
Visually beautiful and relaxing game. The controls and storyline are fairly simple which makes for a charming experience.XSCOTX
Underwhelming
I’m afraid to go back and see if I actually paid $4.99 for this “game”. I was fooled by the 5 star reviews it received and purchased it without reading too much into it. Big mistake. This is a poor excuse for a puzzle game. If anything, it is a linear walking simulator. You click where you want the old man to walk super slowly and have to move the landscape around to progress further. I guess that’s the “puzzle” part but I would hardly call that a puzzle because it isn’t challenging at all. I had a harder time trying to figure out where the pause button was in the game. The story tries to be over emotional but with no dialogue and tedious gameplay it failed to make me care. One thing is the visuals are pretty and colorful but if it didn’t have that then, well, it would be worth 0 stars.Show lessNicknamebro
Beautiful but..
I love these kinds of games. The art was beautiful, the music had a nice atmosphere but not particularly any stand out tracks. The letdown was the repetitive gameplay and the ho hum storyline. I didn’t feel sorry for him I felt more sorry for his family. I kinda found that I wanted the journey to be over sooner, there were a lot of hills. Still the art does make it stand out amongst its competition, but you might want to have a more engaging storyline next time.Show lessParis1942
