I’d love if there was more flexibility outside of the bedroom and there was a way to unlock the whole house or even an outdoors area with animals and having to keep them from messing with your plants. Kitchen would be to Die for but that might not make sense with the type of game it is lol or even a little cat or dog or animal to take care of while protecting ur plant. It’s only a wish but I would definitely pay money for it ! ### 4/5 — ok *2026-08-20, version 1.3.10* carrots are impossible to get ### 5/5 — So in love with this game!!🪴 *2026-08-14, version 1.3.10* This game is so cute and relaxing to play! Love all the plants and all the decor so far! I do hope to see much more decor for the rooms in the future and more plants! Overall I’m very happy with the game! 🪴💚 ### 5/5 — Relaxing game *2026-08-09, version 1.3.10* I love this game, it relaxes me and stimulates my mind. I just hope that buying stars and carrots shouldn’t be that expensive. ### 5/5 — Such a cute game… *2026-08-06, version 1.3.10* This game cures my heart… <3 ### 5/5 — LOOOOVE *2026-08-06, version 1.3.10* I love this game so much it brings me and my husband (who plays it with me now out of curiosity of why I’m on my phone all the time 😂) sooo much joy! ### 5/5 — Teaaaaa *2026-08-05, version 1.3.10* Bro just get it it’s so tea and worth it ### 5/5 — plants *2026-08-03, version 1.3.10* this game is really awesome and i love everything about it but every time i use the treats i get the same exact plant every time??? rigged or not rigged its irritating ### 4/5 — Best plant game ever *2026-08-02, version 1.3.10* I’m so glad there’s finally a game with actual cool house plants and you get to watch them grow at a normal pace. It’s a relaxing and it makes you feel more patient than a regular fast pace game would. They need to make more games like this. ### 5/5 — Relaxing Game *2026-08-01, version 1.3.10* I love playing Dust Bunny. It’s very calming and peaceful. Once I started fulfilling promises (in your journal) it started to be even more fun. It guides you into helping you grow your plants better. Nice background music and you can earn sparkles to decorate your room and buy items for your plants. I love the stickers and the journal too because it has reflective questions and you can put pictures you take or stickers in it. ### 5/5 — so relaxing!!! *2026-07-29, version 1.3.10* I actually really love this game. There aren’t any annoying ads every five seconds like other games; ads are honestly optional (if you want certain things like extra stars). There are so many things to do and the game just feels well made. I enjoy playing it to unwind or just to relax!!! ### 5/5 — love it *2026-07-27, version 1.3.10* this app is so good i love it so much ❤️ ### 5/5 — Great game *2026-07-27, version 1.3.10* ❤️Love it❤️ ### 5/5 — BEST THING IN THE WORLD *2026-07-26, version 1.3.10* OMG I LOVE this game it’s the best and there’s like so much cute little emotion buns you can get there’s angry buns, sad buns, anxious buns, lonely buns, and the most rare is happy bun. Whoever else is reading this review. I hope you have a fun time playing this game it’s the best thing in the world. ### 5/5 — My favorite game *2026-07-26, version 1.3.10* There is so much to this game that I love and want to talk about. I think my favorite part of the game is how sensitive and thoughtfully phrased all the dialogue and descriptions for things are. It ties in very perfectly with the emotional healing aspect of the game. I love the way they used plants and emotions as a sort of metaphor for the healing journey as well (so genius!) This game also isn’t extremely addictive, it won’t punish/pressure you to follow a certain pace, you can play at whatever pace feels comfortable and choose whether to interact with certain features or not. But then the amount of features in the game is amazing as well. The developers somehow packed so many things to unlock and collect within such a small setting, so that even while following the simple mission of the game (collect and take care of your plants) there’s always more to explore. I’m very glad I found this game at a time where I needed the emotional support and I hope even more people can find and play it too! ### 5/5 — Adorable *2026-07-25, version 1.3.10* I really enjoy this app, and my favorite part about it is there are no ads in the base game! ### 5/5 — Warm *2026-07-24, version 1.3.10* This is such a cozy and relaxing game. From the graphics to the music. It’s really a space for me ### 3/5 — Cute game but… *2026-07-24, version 1.3.10* I feel like I’m wasting my time by waiting for dust and other materials to show up. I’m enjoying the game but when I need dust, I’m just sitting on my phone for like 10-15 minutes collecting dust and just waiting. It just makes me question what I’m even doing. I’m sitting here tapping dust that sporadically pops up for 10 minutes. And it’s still not enough for what I need. I feel like I’m brain rotting and should be doing something irl like a craft or reading. I think we need some mini games or something that helps us get more dust. I’m keeping the app a little longer to see how I feel but am pretty sure I’ll be deleting it just because it feels like I should be doing something more meaningful. Even if waiting for the dust is kinda relaxing 😅 ### 5/5 — Love it! *2026-07-24, version 1.3.10* Every time I start to get bored or wonder what else I’ll be able to do I unlock an entire new section of the game, it just keeps bringing me back! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — I thought it was gonna be good… *2026-07-24, version 1.3.10* Basically I saw the game and downloaded it because it looked really good but when it finished downloading I tapped it and it just sent me off the game like I didn’t even get the chance to play it so please fix this if u do I will tell people to get this game and I will give it 5 star rating because I believe this game is great so yeah please fix this bug 😭 😭 😭 🐰 ### 1/5 — Can’t play *2026-07-05, version 1.3.10* Not sure why but I can’t even play the game. I downloaded it on two separate occasions and the game won’t even open. It just shows a black screen then exits out of the app. ### 1/5 — Interconnected Game *2026-05-17, version 1.3.9* Very beautifully put together game. It almost feels poetic. Taking a moment to think through these things your empathy bunny says really adds more care to the game/self. ### 1/5 — Pay to Relax *2026-05-08, version 1.3.9* This game had real potential to be a very cutesy, relaxing, and comforting mental health experience — but the slow near-none progression made unless you pay out of pocket, unmatched rewards to needs, lack of resources required to actually have your plants thrive, little to no space for new plants, and the near constant discouragement from just how little quality of life there is added to the functions of this game, that ultimately I’ve became quickly unmotivated, and disinterested in continuing playing till improvements have been made. ### 1/5 — Bug? *2026-04-04, version 1.3.9* I can’t enter the year or the dat only the month ### 1/5 — ?? *2026-02-22, version 1.3.8* It won’t let me open the app please fix it ### 1/5 — ad grab *2026-01-30, version 1.3.8* game is fun in the beginning but then forces you to watch a million ads to be able to advance through the game not fun ### 1/5 — Phenomenal *2026-01-11, version 1.3.8* This game got me out of the biggest depression of my life. I can’t be more grateful for this game and everyone who made it. ### 1/5 — Froze *2026-01-02, version 1.3.8* Nope. What the heck? ### 1/5 — Bugs *2025-12-28, version 1.3.7* There is ov a bug bc I can’t get in the game no more it says error all the time now so imma just delete it and if anyone else is having this problem it’s never gonna get fixed so just delete it ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Room to grow *2026-08-24, version 1.3.10* I love this game! I can’t wait to see what more gets added. I hope to see some Hoya varieties! The only thing that I haven’t liked about the game is the blender can be a little annoying if you forget to change from mix or blend. Besides that it’s a great game to pass time if you love plants☺️ ### 5/5 — long time player *2026-08-22, version 1.3.10* i've been playing this game for the past few years its been very fun and relaxing-- however it would really be nice to be able to get carrots by watching ads or something, i dont know how relatable this could be but i personally cant really buy them because of country restrictions :( also maybe more furniture designs? love the game sooo much its been a favorite for so long ### 5/5 — Dust Bunny *2026-08-21, version 1.3.10* I love love love this game!! ### 5/5 — Great game. *2026-08-21, version 1.3.10* I love playing this game. I love that it’s so calming and you can play at your own pace. Big big props for it not being a big pay to play game! I do wish there were a few more updates with different items from the shop. Some weather items maybe hehe. I would also love it to be a little easier to get the most rare plants. I’ve been playing for a while and am lever 28 and still have a lot of unseen plants. All in all epic game. ### 5/5 — Lovely Game *2026-08-20, version 1.3.10* I adore this game. This game is calming and has many beautiful aspects to caring for these cute little plants. It’s a nice little escape from the real world before bed. Thank you! ### 5/5 — Neurospicy Comfort *2026-08-19, version 1.3.10* I came back to Dustbunny after not playing for quite a while, fully expecting to find all of my plants dead. Seeing my little room still green and my plants waiting for me was such a sweet surprise. 🌿💕 I really appreciate that the game doesn’t seem to punish you for stepping away. It makes returning feel welcoming instead of stressful, which is exactly what I want from a cozy game. It actually made me excited to start tending to my plants again. 🪴 ### 5/5 — My favorite app *2026-08-18, version 1.3.10* Genuinely calms my nervous system, and it a game I really can keep playing for free without stopping but I pay here and there because I love it so much and want it to progress :) 10/10 ### 5/5 — Wow! *2026-08-16, version 1.3.10* I never leave reviews on apps, seriously, but this app helps calm me when I have anxiety or Im feeling down! :) ### 5/5 — One of my favorite apps!! I get on Everyday!! *2026-08-15, version 1.3.10* I genuinely have checked in on this app everyday during free time since I downloaded it. I love watering my plants and caring for them!!! I try to collect rare ones, decorate my room with better furniture and decor, discover recipes in the kitchen, etc. I even use the journaling feature to vent or just talk about my day in general. I never write reviews for apps but I felt this one was necessary! Highly recommend 🫶!! ### 5/5 — Such a cute game *2026-08-15, version 1.3.10* This game is deeply relaxing and has such a cute and calming vibe --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
