### 5/5 — Amazing

*2025-08-21, version 1.5.9*

Trust me get the full game it’s not that much and the full game is so good and cute I love it when they all clap for you

### 4/5 — It’s a great stimulation game

*2025-08-18*

Up to level 8 is free. Then you have to download another game to play level 9 for free. I will be buying the game. I mostly play the timed version. You collect the resources (wood, stone, berries) to build the wall. And you have to collect the masks or statues too.

### 1/5 — Watch charges

*2024-04-06, version 1.5.9*

Been charged for this update like it’s a new game when I have had this for a long time and already paid

### 5/5 — More levels please

*2023-12-06, version 1.5.9*

I love this game!! I would happily pay for more levels. Please create an extra bonus update. Completed without warehouse, next challenge to complete without any bonus tools.
It’s so nice to not have to keep paying. But 45 levels is not enough! I can play them all in a day.

### 2/5 — No longer plays properly

### 3/5 — Enjoyable game but my purchases were all lost

*2022-07-01, version 1.5.9*

Loved playing this game. Purchased the full game and completed it. Very challenging and worth the purchase for me but disappointed that my purchase will not restore on my iPad. Otherwise a very fun and challenging game.
