### 5/5 — Génial !

*2026-04-29, version 1.2.4*

Encore une belle histoire dans un jeu intéressant et très prenant. Le niveau de difficulté est juste comme il faut. L’ambiance et les graphismes sont super. Bravo ! Et tout ça gratuitement (hors chapitre bonus). Je recommande à 100%

### 5/5 — Bitter Awakening F2P

*2026-04-24, version 1.2.4*

I love the game very much

### 5/5 — 👍🏻

*2025-04-25, version 1.2.0*

J ai adoré , super histoire et décors au top je ne m en lasse pas dommage que le bonus soit payant . Je vais voir pour en trouver d autre

### 5/5 — Perfect!

*2024-08-21, version 1.0.0*

I loved everything about this game. Great storey, graphics, collectables and morphing objects, and its long! Loved how the morphing and collectables were listed on the side of the screen showing if you found them or not. Nothing more aggravating than not knowing if you found them in that scene or not and getting to the end to find out you missed one! Please use that same system again. 
I recommend this game to everyone who loves HOAs. Well done!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

### 5/5 — Love F2P GAMES

*2024-08-06*

I am addicted

**Developer response:** We absolutely love being a part of your gaming experience, and are committed to continuing to create exciting worlds that you will adore exploring ❤️❤️❤️

### 3/5 — Get ready to spend money

*2024-07-26*

Loved the graphics, story line, and most games. Some games would not allow me to place items where they should go. If I wanted to skip the game, it was going to cost me 45 rubies. Of course, for a price, they allowed me to buy more rubies. What a scam!

**Developer response:** Thank you for your review! We are glad that you liked the graphics and story. We have checked the game for bugs and can confirm that there are none. If you have difficulties with item placement or other aspects, please contact our support: support@friendlyfox.studio for consultation. We are always ready to help and improve your gaming experience! 💬✨

### 1/5 — let’s see what happens if I tap here…

*2024-04-21*

I was enjoying this game until I hit a few issues. In one area, a story is being told (I finally realized), and you have to select the object and place it where it belongs and in order of a story you know nothing about. Positioning of all items had to be precisely exact! I had a heck of a time trying to figure out where a pile of dirt belonged—dirt that I did not dig up. The owl wing was a real pain, again, because the position had to be exact. At some point, I gave up. It was like playing darts blindfolded. I decided to get back to this later. 

Later in the game, there is a lion painting to complete. Even though I followed the directions, I was repeatedly asked to look at the finished portrait. Eventually, I gave up. I am really good at these games, but without proper instructions and typically free hints, it’s too frustrating. 

Nothing sparkles for suggested areas to visit. It’s mostly “let’s see what happens if I tap here.” 

I wanted to buy this game, but so glad I did not.

**Developer response:** Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We are sorry to hear that you encountered some issues while playing the game. We strive to provide an enjoyable and engaging experience for all of our players, and we appreciate your comments to help us improve.

We apologize for any frustration this may have caused. Rest assured, we are constantly working to improve and optimize gameplay to provide a smoother and more intuitive experience for our players.

In particular, we will be taking a closer look at the specific areas you highlighted, such as story puzzles and the lion painting task, to see how we can improve clarity and guidance for players. We value your feedback and will use it to make necessary changes to our game mechanics and instructions 🧡🧡🧡

### 5/5 — Great game

*2024-03-28, version 1.0.0*

It was really an awesome game! Puzzles are really challenging. My only concern is that you can’t zoom in and out to see more clearly. But overall excellent!

### 1/5 — Minus 1

*2024-02-22*

I would give a minus if possible. What a dumb game. Spent 20 minutes trying to saddle the horse. Gave up to give you a minus 10 if I could. Dumb game…stupid.

**Developer response:** We're sorry to hear about your frustration with the game. Your feedback is valuable to us. Could you please provide specific details about what you found challenging or frustrating? We're here to listen and improve.

### 4/5 — Nicht schlecht!

*2024-02-20, version 1.0.0*

Tatsächlich ein bisschen dunkel, aber auf dem iPad gut zu spielen.
