Leave a Review Usagi Shima
Best game ever!!!
I’ve been following this game’s development on Reddit for almost two years, and I am beyond excited that it’s finally here! The game is absolutely adorable with art that clearly took a lot of genuine effort. The mechanics are simple but by no means boring. There’s a lot of attention to detail and every part of this game makes me fall deeper in love with it and all the little bunnies that come visit me. I HIGHLY recommend this game to anyone who likes bunnies and is looking for an adorable and low key game that will make each day a little brighter for you. My only suggestion to the creators is I think it would be cool to have some special seasonal events every once in a while to keep things fresh for long time players. Huge thanks again to the awesome devs for working so hard on this masterpiece of a game!!
EDIT: the devs are so awesome!! They have been super responsive to community suggestions which is super nice to see. I have already bought the island expansion and the remove wait times options. I strongly encourage everyone else to do the same to support the devs as much as possible. This is one time the devs really do deserve the money!! Show your support guys!Show lessFunnybunnie5272

Thank you so much for your kind review and following the game's development! 🐰❤️ Your support means a lot to the developer! The developer is working hard to continue improving the game and adding new content. Since it's just one developer making the game, we greatly appreciate your patience with future updates! 💪💞 -Alex, on behalf of pank0DOWNLOAD THIS GAME PLS
Let me start by saying how cute this is. I swear, the more I play, the more I fall in love with all the bunnies and cute add-ons. This has become my emotional support game whenever I feel anxious. I’m impressed that this is only one person running the game. The little details in the game are so well thought out. However, I will say that after you meet all the bunnies, get their hearts up, and fully pimp out your island, there’s not much to do. But this recent content update came just in time because I was feeling a bit bored. I suggest adding more content every few months or even events to keep people playing. Maybe in the future, it would be cool to visit other people’s islands, but I understand this is one person, and it takes time. This game has so much potential. Anyways, that’s my review of the game.Show lessunknown( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

I saw this game on one of the Apple game notifications and I absolutely love this game! The bunnies are so cute and it’s a joy to equip their habitats with toys, plants, and all sort of Japanese cultural places! Love the ramen shop, temple, tea room, onsens, fountains, koi ponds, etc. I especially like that when you’re interacting with a bunny in one of these places that you can hear the sounds of that place and the bunnies actually eat ramen, drink tea, enjoy the onsen, etc. It’s a very relaxing game with cute bunnies. I also just noticed that the game announces which bunnies are currently visiting and that you can see them in the Bun Book! So many details that make the game really fun. I hope the developer will continue to add more bunnies and features! 5+++ game!Show lessKorukat

Thank you so much for your kind review!! I'm really glad to hear you are enjoying the game!! 😭🐰❤️ The developer will do her best to continue to improve the game and add features and content in the future! 💪💞 A little bunny told me there is an update with new content planned for the summer! 🐇 -Ann, on behalf of pank0CUTE AND SIMPLE but one small nitpick I have
It’s a SUPER cute game and I love it to death. I recommended it to my s/o and they love it too! It’s simple, easy to understand, and collecting carrots (the currency) isn’t a super slow process! It’s one of the cutest and best games I have on my phone. My only issue isssss…there isn’t a whole bunch to do when ON the app. Ik it’s and idle, so you don’t have to be on it 24/7, I just wish there was a lil more to do y’know? And getting golden carrots (used to buy buildings) is super slow and you can’t get a whole bunch at once or quickly without paying money. I just wish there was maybe a mini game or two where you can win a golden carrot or two for playing, or maybe something similar? But that’s my only issue, outside of that I’d recommend this game to everyone who love cute bunnies!!!!Show lessGl0st1ck Ju1c3

I don't think I've ever written a review for an app, but Usagi Shima is the very essence of what a mobile game should be. I have avoided mobile games for well over a decade because so many of them are just pay-to-win scams with very little actual entertainment, but this one? This is perfection. The art style, the music, the gameplay mechanics, the buns themselves, the animations, the items and areas, the overall progression - everything is done SO wonderfully and you can really feel the love that was poured into this game. The few in-app purchases that exist are genuinely not necessary at all, they are purely for convenience and incredibly fairly priced on top of that. I ended up buying the $4 ad-free upgrade on my first day of gameplay just to support the developer, which is another thing I can't say I've ever done before. We live in a time where many games (not even just mobile ones) are often pumped out willy-nilly to make a quick buck for a gigantic corporation, but once in awhile something special comes along and reminds us what a game is supposed to be. Usagi Shima is that game, and I hope it continues to grow and thrive as it deserves to.Show lessdragonpox

Thank you so much for your kind review!! Your support means a lot to the developer!! 🐰💖 The developer will do her best to continue to improve the game and add features and content in the future! 💪💞 Also, I hope you will continue to have an amazing time with the cute bunnies! 🐇✨ -Alex, on behalf of pank0I LOVE IT SO MUCH
The graphics are adorable and I love the art style. It's a really cute game with a lot of interactive elements. The buns also each have their own unique personality and you can build friendships with them and eventually have them live on your island. It can take a while to build friendships with the buns, but this makes the gameplay have more meaning and not speed by. It's also not hard at all to get carrots or even golden carrots, and there are barely any adds. It's not the kind of game you can play for hours on end, it's more of a check in on a couple times a day kind of game, but it's honestly just so comforting and it makes me so happy. It's probably my favorite game I've ever played. Overall, it's a great game and I HIGHLY recommend it.Show lessarden <3

I adore this game and more than being a game it feels like an interactive experience that leaves you feeling calmer and better about the world. The art is like moving through a book of watercolor illustrations that you don’t want to put down! Even the lush music and sound effects put you at ease. The ability to decorate and make it your own only makes it more personal and you look forward for opportunities to ‘escape’ to this gentle, nurturing, loving place. I can’t wait for updates over time as the developer creates them. I’d love to see more ways of interacting with the bunnies, ways to have ‘adventures’ or storylines with them, and even for the bunnies to reveal more of their personalities. Each one of them is so unique and realized that I could imagine an entire series taking place with them! I really admire this developer for making something so out-of-the-box, well-conceived, and lovingly unforgettable. My kudos to them too as a solo developer! That is amazing and they are the kind of artist I want to support in this digital age.Show lessNeilGreensmith

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your feedback! 🥹💖 It will help the developer improve the game and add more content in the future! 💪- Shauni, on behalf of pank0CHEF’S KISS!! 🐰❤️
This game is dripping with elegance & charm, and brings back the simplicity of the golden age of mobile gaming. It may sound dramatic, but it’s true! So many of these “relaxing” titles now are crowded with complex currency, tons of ads, messy menus, and the list goes on…If you are nostalgic for titles like Neko Atsume, you won’t regret picking up this game. Not only does it feature polished mechanics, but the attention to detail in the artwork and animation is stunning.
Major props to the sole creator of this game, they really have created a coherent work of art. Interacting with the bunnies, decorating, shopping and just enjoying the ambiance are all truly soothing. I look forward to continuing to build my little bunny haven every day. Excited to see more from Usagi Shima & Pui Pui Yu in the future!Show lessCryptd

Thank you so much for your kind review and for showing your support to the developer! 😭 It means a lot to us.💞 She will do her best to continue to add more features and content as soon as she can! 💪- Shauni, on behalf of pank0First phone game I’ve ever 100% completed
I don’t normally stick to app games for more than a week or two but I’ve been practically addicted to this game since I got it. It’s easy going, totally adorable, and doesn’t force you to check in or play every single day. The best part? Barley any ads. You’ll only ever watch an ad if you want to skip build time or refresh the shops inventory. And they’re only 30 seconds to a minute long. Otherwise? You could play the game as normal and never skip anything and you would NEVER see a single ad. I absolutely adore this game. Every bunny has a cute look and unique personality, the rare bunnies are precious, you can decorate your land however you want, and the currency basically regenerates constantly so you would never truly need to purchase currency unless you really wanted to. Every bun has their own favorite toys and buildings and it’s a blast getting to know each and every one. And it’s so satisfying when you do. I won’t spoil anything but if your on the fence, you should spoil yourself and get this game.Show lessLifeOnMars22

Thank you so much for your kind review! 😭 ❤️ I'm glad to learn that you're satisfied with the current ad system. 😊 I hope that you will continue to enjoy your time with your bunnies! 🐰 - Shauni, on behalf of pank0Adorable
I was really into Neko Atsume when it first came out, but most other similar games felt a bit lackluster. Usagi Shima has a similar concept to Neko Atsume but stands out as different via how we interact with the rabbits, as well as in aesthetic style, music track, & overall quality. I bought the ad remover within 2 hours of first playing and never have regretted it. The dev also fixed a bug I was experiencing pretty fast, and has been very communicative. There are a couple small negatives I noticed, though. If you don't buy the (reasonably priced) ad remover, the game is pretty heavy on the ad offers to double carrots. Right now you can only play on one device, as well, although you can transfer data. Inventory and island space both can also pose hurdles if a completionist.
edit: after learning the ads are not personalized, bumping it up to 5 stars. Definitely know devs have to eat and have personally bought some stuff in the game. :)Show lessPsacey
