Now wants me to pay again. Really like the whole series. Bring the rest back for iPad. ### 4/5 — Nice game *2022-07-13, version 1.0.0* I’d definitely recommend this game. ### 4/5 — Awakening *2022-01-11, version 1.0.0* Ich warte auf die Fortsetzung. Alle bisherigen Folgen mit Freude gespielt. ### 4/5 — Short but sweet *2021-01-06, version 1.0.0* The Awakening series is stunning visually. No ghosts and demons and positive messages about courage and magic. Keep making more please and a bit longer if you can :D ### 4/5 — Pretty good *2020-12-26, version 1.0.0* Actually interesting. ### 4/5 — Awakening *2020-11-08, version 1.0.0* Good game & play time! I’d recommend it. ### 2/5 — Awakening - the redleaf forest *2020-08-14, version 1.0.0* Não consigo dar o unlock. Fica rodando o autheticating sem parar. Tem uma solucão? Acabei de comprar. ### 4/5 — Great game *2019-09-26, version 1.0.0* Great game with a whole array of puzzles. Very good conclusion to the story. Im just very disappointed that you’ve chosen not to update the prequels to this game to keep inline with the latest iOS updates ### 2/5 — Non funziona *2018-09-30, version 1.0.0* Per cortesia, risolvete il problema. Grazie ### 3/5 — Annoyed *2018-08-26, version 1.0.0* I have paid for this game.... but it won’t load HELP!!! ### 4/5 — Red Awakening review *2018-08-20, version 1.0.0* I liked the dark and bright colors for the game.The teleport system is good on the map and was very helpful in keeping the game and tasks moving along easily. Some of the directions for the mini puzzles could be more clear with perhaps examples from the owl on how to move or what directions to go in movements. The story was more engaging in the first games about Sophia and her parents. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Der Wald der roten Blätter *2024-02-06, version 1.0.0* Ich habe dieses Spiel bereits vor ein paar Jahren gekauft und bin nicht gewillt es doppelt zu bezahlen. Schade ist ein sehr schönes Spiel ### 1/5 — I want my game back *2023-08-20, version 1.0.0* I bought this years ago and played it through and liked it. Not as good a Moonfell Wood but it was ok. Now I am wanting to play it again but you tell me I have to pay again? Nope. And I really wish you would update the other games in this series so I could play them on my iPad Pro. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t recognize purchase *2023-07-30, version 1.0.0* I purchased this app a while back and have played it more than once but now it doesn’t recognize my purchase and app support doesn’t seem to be available 😡 ### 1/5 — Dissatisfied *2021-06-30, version 1.0.0* In the past, I have spent over £10 buying the awakening series and the nutcracker game and after only having played some of them once and others not at all before the games disappeared off my iPad I’m very disappointed to not be able to find them on the App Store again. It was a waste of my money and I would be pleased if I am refunded or the games are made available once more. Otherwise I will not be paying this company a single penny more as they steal your money and the product. ### 1/5 — Avakning *2020-06-20, version 1.0.0* Boring. Last my Money. ### 1/5 — Bad! *2020-02-03, version 1.0.0* You guys have charged me rm29.90 for the full version, how come I can’t continue with the game? I want my refund. It happens twice already. ### 1/5 — Worse BFG ever *2019-02-26, version 1.0.0* And the little centaur kid pinned under the anvil was beyond annoying. ### 1/5 — Awakening *2018-10-15, version 1.0.0* Game will not open ### 1/5 — Nicht mehr spielbar *2018-09-05, version 1.0.0* Trotz Kauf der ersten beiden Teile sind diese NICHT mehr spielbar. Die Spiele hängen sich an immer der gleichen Stelle auf und dann geht nichts mehr. Trotz Neuinstallation keine Änderung. Sehr schade, da man die Spiele ja bezahlt hat. ### 1/5 — Disappointing *2018-08-30, version 1.0.0* Sure glad I didn’t pay for this disappointing game. So glitchy it wouldn’t even open! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Smashing game *2020-12-15, version 1.0.0* Graphics great. Storyline flowed. Good mix of puzzles. Looking forward to the sequel ### 5/5 — Beautiful and well plotted story *2020-09-12, version 1.0.0* In favor of fantasy and myths genre, I love this particular game ... with the scenery and music and the storyline is well written as well as the puzzles that aren’t too difficult yet makes you think... I look forward to it’s sequel ### 5/5 — Liked it *2020-08-23, version 1.0.0* I thought the bonus game was cute with a little girl taking the place of darkmyre. The art is excellent. Some amazingly gorgeous scenes, starting with the sunset on the menu. It can be a bit witchy and dark at times, especially when darkmyre is running around. I used the hints all the time because otherwise you have to keep track of all the places and things to do. Things can be a bit hard to match up and I had to ask the owl what to do. The mini games were good although some of them were without good explanations and I couldn’t do them, even seeing the solution, with the guide. You have an owl to help you and a small dragon to light things up. I paid $2.99 on a big fish games week special. The game calculated I played for a total of 4 hours, which I thought was good length. There are many goals, like not using skips or hints and finding hidden flowers. It could go on for years but it’s not that interesting! Maybe for an expert in these games I guess. ### 5/5 — Awesome *2020-01-10, version 1.0.0* What a fun game and the graphics were pretty cool as well! ### 5/5 — Spaß pur *2020-01-05, version 1.0.0* Wir waren richtig begeistert vom Spiel ### 5/5 — Prima *2019-08-17, version 1.0.0* Schöne Grafik und nicht zu leicht. ### 5/5 — Love/sad *2019-01-07, version 1.0.0* I love this game, but am sad the rest of the series has been deleted. I would love to see the whole awakening series come back! ### 5/5 — BoomZap is the best *2018-12-18, version 1.0.0* I was excited to discover a new Awakening series. I’m a big follower and this new release is spectacular. Good story, graphics are excellent and a map that enables easy movement to different villages. Looking forward to more releases. ### 5/5 — Mancy *2018-09-18, version 1.0.0* Good game mixture of puzzles ### 5/5 — Great game *2018-04-07, version 1.0.0* This game is the bomb! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
