I’m not even going to keep playing until controller support is added. And done forget the invert Y axis option… December 3, 2025 now and still no controller support? ### 5/5 — Need to add or hurry up doing!!! *2025-11-08* First before I get into depth… I love this game and it is very fun and exciting for what it presents. I wish that the splash page of the update for a MONTH ago would leave. Add new planets and continue after Guluman ship. Add flying mounts to the game as a Lord not a dungeon animal, make the new lvl max 100, make the Mineing thing have a EXTREME GALACTIC MINE. This would make the game… WAIT also add controller setting… ok now… all of this would make a great game and also help it from being a non played game soooo yeah. I do expect a answer from you guys and thank you ### 1/5 — Can’t play without Wi-Fi. *2025-11-04* I bought the ultimate pass because I love the gameplay but you cant sign into the lobby without being on a WiFi connection which is sad because that defeats the purpose of a mobile game. I’d like to be able to play during my work commutes but ironically I can only log in while at work on the WiFi or at my house. I would ask for a refund and wouldn’t continue playing until that fix is introduced, but it is what it is. ### 5/5 — Need to add or hurry up doing!!! *2025-10-30* First before I get into depth… I love this game and it is very fun and exciting for what it presents. I wish that the splash page of the update for a MONTH ago would leave. Add new planets and continue after Guluman ship. Add flying mounts to the game as a Lord not a dungeon animal, make the new lvl max 100, make the Mineing thing have a EXTREME GALACTIC MINE. This would make the game… WAIT also add controller setting… ok now… all of this would make a great game and also help it from being a non played game soooo yeah. HAVE A HAPPY HALLOWSEVE LOL 👻👻👻🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃 ### 3/5 — Can’t play without Wi-Fi. *2025-10-28, version 1.10.1* I love the gameplay but you can sign into the lobby without being on a WiFi connection. ### 5/5 — Worth it *2025-10-18* This game haves potential and it’s very fun, but it’s been a wild now and no new updates have been showed. But giving us the chance to use our imagination to create our own base is fun, & meeting mature people in this game play it’s so easy I don’t hate it for a mobile game. But developers please do sobering to keep giving life to this game before it dies out ### 4/5 — Enjoyable! *2025-10-07, version 1.10.1* It’s got quite a few things that need fixing but honestly I find it so much fun! It is a nostalgic mix of The Pocket Monster games we like and is just a fun creature capture game with a ton of interactions! I love that it’s MMO and that there are so many surprise cameos hidden all over! ### 1/5 — Login Error *2025-10-06, version 1.10.1* Every time I try to login to the game it says “login connection error” so I can’t even play.. ### 1/5 — Server not available? *2025-09-26, version 1.10.1* Haven't been able to play the game downloaded it and nothing 🤨 ## Frequently asked questions about Auroria ### What kind of game is Auroria: a playful journey?
