### 5/5 — Great game, very simple.

*2022-01-08, version 1.02*

As an honest review, this is game is so much fun because of all the unlockables and the scoring progression. The art is gorgeous, and the music fits perfect. If you liked his game, check out his channel on YouTube: DevDuck. And no this is not a bot, I just genuinely think this is an incredible game

### 5/5 — Great game! Here is some feedback, please read.

*2020-10-27, version 1.02*

I love this game. I found it through your youtube channel, and I am in love! But, I would like if you added some new backgrounds or characters, because once you unlock all of them, there isn’t really a point. I know you were talking about adding a leaderboard, but this would still be a great addition to the game. For example, my high score is 1005, and I can’t unlock anything. I still play it everyday though, so please add a new background or character to unlock.

### 5/5 — Great Game For on the Go

*2020-09-29, version 1.02*

I have been playing this app for a week and I can’t stop. It’s really great and I love it.  Some ideas are for a character you can get a special power up. For example the grasshopper could get an extra life if score was over 20 and if you want to get another life you could watch an ad or for the update to stay you can pay.Just some tips

### 5/5 — Nice simple play loop!

*2020-08-23, version 1.02*

Found the fame through your devlog while learning to mess with unity myself. I really like the game a lot, even though when I was watching I figured it wasn’t the type of game for me as I don’t like mobile gaming. 

However I found the gameplay loop phenomenal! A nice simple scheme and the unlocks challenging enough that they were fair but you could still get them with enough persistence. I wouldn’t have minded an extra tier of each as I got everything. But I feel a nice sense of accomplishment for a small time invested which is something I can’t say of most mobile experiences! 

Happy to support and will continue to do so!

### 4/5 — Very good game, could use some more info displays

*2020-08-12, version 1.02*

I really like how this game is played. A unique idea that is actually fun to play, with cool progression and a great art style. My recommendations would be to have it more clear when you are going to lose (it feels a bit sudden) and also have some sort of audio cue associated with losing. Otherwise the game feels very complete and well done.

### 5/5 — Hi well done Ben

*2020-07-26, version 1.02*

Good game Ben

### 5/5 — Really cool. Gives me hope as an indie developer

*2020-07-26, version 1.02*

I’m here from one of your YouTube videos.

Great app! It’s simple, but a pretty creative/original thought. Seems like I’m a little ways behind you as an indie developer, so it’s fun to see your progress and success.

In the game, progression is a little hard for me. It feels like my bug’s impact on forest brightness is too small. But perhaps I’m just not good at the game yet.

The first published game is a big achievement! Great work

### 5/5 — Game

*2020-07-14, version 1.02*

Game pretty cool ngl

### 5/5 — Fast paced and addictive!

*2020-06-13, version 1.02*

I really enjoy this game and it’s always bringing me back! It’s just simple and a lot fun, anyone can pick it up and give it a go! Also, I really like the developer of the game and think he does great work. It was interesting to see how he developed this game, and his dedication to it. You should definitely give this game a try!!

### 5/5 — Great Job

*2020-06-13, version 1.02*

I found this app through your YouTube channel and I have it a shot. The more I played the more satisfying the game got. Great job.
