AMAZING 🤩

It’s so amazing. I don’t think there’s any ad and you can play with friends and family. It’s fun where you can collect stuff like little creatures. And you could play games where you battle other creatures and then you can save your world. It’s so fun and I think everybody should play this game.

Thank you for the amazing review! We're excited to release multiplayer so you can have more ways to play with friends and family!

Game is great

The only thing wrong is when the quests dont pop up or the hearts dont and sometimes the moonlings get stuck under ground other then that i love it

Thank you so much, Chase! 💚 We're really glad to hear you're enjoying ÆRTHLINGS overall! The two issues you mentioned are both ones we've been working on. The Quest/Hearts issue will be fixed in v1.5.1, so once that update is available (we submitted it and will release as soon as it gets approved for both mobile app stores), your Requests should start appearing normally again. For the MOONLINGS getting stuck underground, v1.5.1 also includes a fix that reduces how often that happens. It won't eliminate every case just yet, but we hope it's a noticeable improvement on your end, and we'll continue refining it in future updates. In the meantime, if you do run into a buried MOONLING, you can lower the terrain beneath it in Edit Mode until it becomes visible and your ÆRTHLINGS can reach it. We're currently just waiting for approval to release the hotfix build. Thanks again for the kind words and for sticking with us, it really means a lot! 💚

More than just a game

This is a really fun idea for a game, physical figures, trading, as well as bringing your figure to life in the game.

The lineage factor was especially interesting to me. The fact that I can trade with someone else. And keep my figure digitally still but also get to see all the other times that figure gets scanned down the line is such a cool concept.

The app is fun even if you don’t have any figs to scan and you can unlock other characters through just playing (although you can’t trade those)

Very well said! Thanks for taking time to give us this review, we appreciate it a lot! We hope you have fun rebuilding ÆRTH!

Great game but expensive cubes

I like the game and that I can try out more Aerthlings in the game, but after getting two Aerthlings I haven’t seen a new seed to get one more Aerthling in a long time. I really want the Aerthlings mystery figs, but those things cost 11 dollars and they are just cubes. Besides that it is a great game with my Treep saying that something would be so cool when he wants me to build something.

Thank you so much for the thoughtful review! We're really glad you're enjoying the game and that your Treep is keeping you motivated to build. We also appreciate your feedback! While they may look like just cubes at first glance, each one unlocks a unique ÆRTHLING that you can keep in your digital collection and you can trade the fig with other players to hatch more ÆRTHLINGS in your game and grow your digital collection. You can also meet Visitor ÆRTHLINGS in-game and help them reach Level 5 before they continue their adventure. If you're planning to attend PAX West this year, be sure to stop by our booth! We'll be giving away 1 free Seed Series packet! We also host community giveaways on Discord, so there are a few extra ways to grow your collection. Thanks again for playing and for taking the time to leave a review. We can't wait for you to meet even more ÆRTHLINGS!

Really Great Game

Really fun, amazing concept and hope that this gets so much more support and attention by everyone.
Going to start streaming this on twitch and hopefully order some figs. Might even do their new kickstart for the next gen.
Like legit hope this game explodes with popularity.

Team cares more about selling more figures over fixing their game

I was really pumped about this game. I purchased 6 aerthlings to support the team for putting together a cool idea… the problem is that I scanned in my new figures and started playing the game only to realize that no enemies were spawning into game. This effectively makes the game unplayable because you can’t collect needed resources. I’ve been waiting well over a month and have been trying to communicate with the team in good faith while they tried to stabilize the game. Several updates came and the game was still not working for me and each time the team would say “we’re working on the fix”. Meanwhile the team is continuously rolling out marketing for new kickstarters and figures to make more money while I sat and waited patiently. The team made it abundantly clear that they don’t have any intention of prioritizing the fix and it seems like they are putting profit over their customers and gameplay. 🤷‍♂️

I wanted to like this game but I can’t even play it.

We're truly sorry this issue has prevented you from fully enjoying ÆRTHLINGS. We completely understand how frustrating it is to wait for a fix, especially when you've been patiently working with our team. Your reports have been actively investigated, and we've continued tracking your case while working on improvements related to the MOONLING respawn issue. We also understand why seeing new announcements while you're still affected by this bug can be disappointing. A potential fix has recently completed development review and will undergo testing. While we don't want to promise an exact release date until that process is complete, progress is being made and your reports have helped us investigate the issue! Thank you for taking the time to report the problem and stay in touch with our support team. We appreciate your patience and hope you can give us another chance.

Very entertaining

I’ve honestly grown old of all phone games but when I seen this, I thought lemme give it a try. Without playing the game, it just seems like a game for little kids. When you start up, it’s actually very well made and detailed. If you’re older and think “oh this is just another child’s game”…….. I’m 29 years old with a daughter and I’m very much enjoying it. So much I’ve even backed their company on kickstarter. When you can purchase these in physical stores, it’ll be like pokemon. I will definitely be playing this game a lot. This will be the next big thing 100%. Highly recommend.

It seems so fun and I feel that I am missing out 😔😢😭 pls help meee!!!” Ok so that is what I sad the second time I reviewed the game now is the third I told you I emailed you and you never responded, and you told me the same thing again to email you and I got really upset because I told you that I already did and you just ignored it and you told me the same thing again, how about I say this more clearly, I already tried emailing you and you never responded, can you tell me what’s going on? And pls don’t tell me to email you cause I will crash out, just pls help it seems so fun 😢 please 🙏

That's not the ideal ÆRTHLINGS experience, we apologize. If it's not too much to ask, could you please email us what you're experiencing and also the email address associated with your account at hello@moderngames.com so our team can investigate? Thank you for being patient!

Terrible game and company

I planned on backing this campaign on KS despite the miserable experience I had with Beasts of Balance Rebirth. I posited a simple and respectful question asking about their plan in case the campaign didn’t meet their expectations (like BoBR) and they answered. But then they cancelled my pledge and banned me. So they will never get any money out of me in the future. And I’m going out of my way to let others know about this awful company.

Controller

Can you please add a controller setting so my mom and I can play easer and for many others to enjoy the experience

Thank you for your time

Thanks so much for the suggestion, Drew! We really appreciate you and your mom thinking about ways to make the game more accessible to play together. Controller support is something we’re actively working on, and we’re also continuing to improve touch controls to make the experience smoother for everyone. We’ve also got some exciting multiplayer features coming up that we think you’ll enjoy. Thanks again for taking the time to share this!

Amazing game and fun collectible toys

I bought my first set of Aerthlings thinking I wouldn’t really like them, but what the heck. When they came, there was something about the feel of the cubes and the coloring that just feels right. The game itself is very addicting. You pick it up and before you know it an hour has passed. I highly recommend.

Your kind words mean a lot to us, thank you so much! We love hearing that the feel of the ÆRTHLINGS and the colors stood out to you, and even more that the game ended up surprising you in a good way. That “just one more minute” feeling is exactly what we hope for. Really appreciate you taking a chance on us and for the recommendation!

Addictive and fun

One of the most original and addictive games I’ve played. Collecting the figs is fun but once you start playing the game it takes it to a whole new level!

It’s awesome to hear you’re enjoying both the collecting side and then getting pulled into the game part of ÆRTHLINGS. Thank you for playing and for the kind words!

WayLess buggy but Still no multiplayer

Fun easy game with no need purchases but who wouldn’t want to collect the cute little guys? To get the most out of it they must be traded with other players or accounts 1:1
The new look world is very very pretty and in game crafting is fun lots of details in the artwork. However at upper levels quests are annoyingly repetitive and it still cannot handle a big map. Last forced update fixed biome issue but large map now crashes again.

Discord is great for targeted help.

Kickstarter for new figs is advertising “smooth” gameplay which currently is only true for fewer figs and smaller map.

Thank you for taking the time to update your review. We’re really sorry that our updates haven't resolved the performance issues you're experiencing. That's absolutely not the experience we want for you. Recent updates included improvements to memory usage, which helped reduce crashes on devices with less available RAM. However, you’re right, there are still areas where large worlds can experience issues. These are actively being worked on, including multiplayer which we’re pushing toward and hope to release in a near update. If you're open to it, we'd really appreciate the chance to look into your case more closely if you can submit a bug report through the app. That allows us to capture backend information tied to your account so our developers can investigate what’s happening in your world specifically. You can also reach out to us at hello@moderngames.com if that's easier for you. We really appreciate your patience as we work to improve our game!

Fun new game!

I had a great time trying this game out! I’m exciting for new characters to come out and collect! It’s so cool to be able to scan them into the game!

2/10 game “stopped” working

I was hoping to not spend money on the cute little figures to see if I’d actually like the game. And don’t get me wrong, I love this game ! It’s so cute. But I have maxed out the two little “starter” guys you get and I am trying to beat part of the “boss battles” but a random one appears during every game that I cannot kill, even though I hit it, I do no damage ? It is just a normal monster so idk what is wrong with

Thanks so much for the kind words, we’re really glad you’re enjoying ÆRTHLINGS! That issue with the MOONLING definitely doesn’t sound right. Could you please submit a bug report through the app or email us at hello@moderngames.com with a screenshot or screen recording. That’ll help us take a closer look and get it sorted for you. In the meantime, a quick tip on progression: your ÆRTHLINGS’ levels are capped by your Beacon level, so upgrading your Beacon will let them level up. You can also upgrade Jett’s Gym and grab boosts there to increase health and strength. We appreciate you flagging this, and we’ll do our best to help you push past those challenges!

Bugs need fixing

My son loves this game, but constantly has crashes with hatching new characters, he goes to hatch a new character and the app crashes back to Apple main screen, great game just causes frustration with so many bugs.

Thank you for the review! We understand how bugs and crashes cause frustrations, so we apologize. The team is working on optimizations to hopefully reduce crashes and improve performance and stability. If there is anything else we can assist with, such as characters that are stuck hatching or any other issue, we'd love to help you and your son! Please feel free to send a bug report through the app or email us at hello@moderngames.com.

Super fun! I love how easy it is to understand & is very simple to find different things like the scanning area and the game.

Pay to advance?

Very fun concept, aesthetics, and potential, but after a few hours, advancement will be starkly limited but scarcity of non renewable resources, and others that simply don’t appear. Right now I have several chonks I can’t heal because I need ice and bananas, and neither are available in any of the chonks I’ve opened.
It’s also disappointing that there is no way to gain new Aerthlings without buying them, and absolutely no way to earn the necessary currency in game, no matter how much time I invest. I wouldn’t mind grinding to slowly earn over weeks or months, but there is no motivation to continue playing, only rewards for paying.

Thanks for the detailed feedback! This is exactly the kind of review that helps us improve balance and clarity. ÆRTHLINGS is not designed around “pay to advance.” Progression is intended to come through exploration, combat, and natural resource discovery over time. That said, we recognize that if certain key resources feel overly rare or hard to find early on, it can understandably feel like progression is stalled. We also want to clarify that there is an earnable in-game path for currency. ÆTHER, which you can use to buy a few resources from the shop, is dropped by MOONLINGS and can be collected through defeating them. Premium currency (ÆMETHYSTS) is entirely optional and not required for progression. Ice, bananas, and other biome-specific materials are not intended to be shop-dependent or locked behind spending. They are part of the core exploration loop and can be obtained through gameplay. Other loot are also naturally obtainable through breaking crates/barrels, defeating MOONLINGS, and digging. We’re actively reviewing biome generation and resource spawn balance to reduce situations where players feel blocked by RNG rather than encouraged to explore. It’s also worth noting that all new players begin with two permanent virtual ÆRTHLINGS (Lennisaur and Treep), and there are additional ways to expand your experience through Visitor ÆRTHLINGS. We really appreciate you taking the time to share this because it genuinely helps us refine the experience for everyone!
