### 3/5 — 音が鳴らないことがある

*2025-06-03, version 1.3.018*

久しぶりにプレイしようとしたら音が全く鳴らなくなっていました。(第9世代iPad バージョン18.41)
BGMや効果音の雰囲気が好きだったので改善してほしいです。
追記
ショップを開くとクラッシュします
イヤホンを繋いだら音が鳴りました

### 4/5 — ビジュアルとサウンドが最高

*2024-07-02, version 1.3.018*

3日前くらいから、左上の「Shop」を押すとアプリが落ちるようになりました。アプデでもないようなので私の環境のせいかな？なんでだろう…。//PS3時代から好きなゲーム。操作に慣れるまで苦労するが、コツを掴めばサクサクプレイになる。カメラと連動しているのでバッテリーの減りが早い。途中にあるシード○には目もくれずに、かなりのスピード感を持ってチェックポイント▽まで素早く到達して繋ぎ、ゴールのスペクトラを目指すワイヤーアクションゲーム。左上の残機数以内に、表示されているステージを全部クリアできれば次へ進める。時間との勝負なのでスピード感が最も大事！その為に、まずは操作に慣れる所から。。

### 3/5 — 楽しい、けどムズい

*2022-11-03, version 1.3.015*

私は植物が少し好きです。
だから、このゲームはある程度楽しいです。
しかし、ひとつのステージをクリアするのが
難しすぎます。ゴールまでたどり着けません。
ゴール地点が分かるようなヒントを、
各ステージに用意していただけると幸いです。

### 4/5 — Fantastic game play, great replayability

*2021-08-08, version 1.3.015*

I fell in love with the original PixelJunk Eden on our PlayStation 3 years ago. I could easily spend hours playing it. I was delighted when it came to iPhone/iPad. Much of the game play is the same, with some good adaptations to the touch-screen format. Great replayability. Addicting. Enjoy!

### 3/5 — キャラクターが…

*2020-08-03, version 1.3.015*

音楽、グラフィック共に素敵です。ゲームとしてもゆるやかで良いな〜と思います。
ただキャラクターが好みではないです。なんだこの生物…キモ可愛いってやつか…？
幻想的な世界に合うような可愛いキャラを操作したいのでこの変な生き物は私に合わないみたいです。

### 2/5 — とっても面白いです。が…

*2019-12-13, version 1.3.015*

大幅アップデート前に購入したステージが復元できなくなってしまいました。
せっかく面白いのになんとかなれば嬉しいです。

### 3/5 — （個人的）ステージクリアのコツ

*2019-11-19, version 1.3.014*

※やりこみ2日、ゲーム内での専門用語は皆無

①最初はとにかくゴールを目指す！
制限時間があるため、ゴールから出る波紋を頼りにとにかく先に進む。途中の種は無視。

②連続してエサ？を取る！
コンボを重ねると取れるエサの量が増える。
（私は基本的に空中ジャンプでコンボ狙い。植物周辺にエサが集まってきたらタップで回転、で使い分けてます。空中ジャンプはタップで一回止まってから再び移動するとコンボが安定します）

③クリア出来ない時はアイテムを使う！
アイテムは割とすぐ手に入るのでどんどん使ってOK。オススメは制限時間延長（アイテム3つ使用でもOK）、エサ？が増えるやつ

【慣れると面白い！】
・広大なエリアを縦横無尽に駆け回れる！
・コンボでエサを大量に出す→植物を発芽させる、の連続！
 
「種を発芽させて植物を増やしていく」というより「広いエリアを駆け回ってエサやクリスタルなどを集める」のがこのゲームの面白さだと思います。
人によって相性はあると思いますが、操作に慣れると面白いです！この手のゲームは単純なので暇つぶし程度には良いと思います。

### 2/5 — 落ちます

*2019-10-30, version 1.3.014*

好きなゲームだったんですが、開こうとすると落ちるんですが、どうしたら良いんでしょうか？
再起動かけてもダメでした…

課金したのにこれでは困ります。

### 3/5 — Great game

*2019-05-30, version 1.3.008*

The game concept is great but the app keeps crashing and it has got to the stage where i cannot even open the app.

### 4/5 — Bug?

*2019-05-10, version 1.3.008*

Время, которое я собираю, не добавляется к основному времени! Из-за этого нет возможности проходить сады.

### 2/5 — Mobile Eden

*2019-02-27, version 1.3.008*

Unfortunately, I played and loved the console version of this game.  I feel this game retains all the great things about the original while injecting the primary play of the game with a new element - stress.  Being able to fail gardens ruins the chill atmosphere created by the brilliant art, sound design, and gameplay.  On the console, I didn’t mind the timer because I could always come back and find the spectra, whereas in this game you have 5 tries and that’s all you get.  You can continue playing in a different mode, but playing through levels I have failed is completely unsatisfying.  The play mechanics are awesome, the sound is awesome, the visuals are awesome, the structure of the game ruins the mood so excellently established by everything else.

### 4/5 — Fun and Quick Exploration Adventure

*2019-02-07, version 1.3.008*

Its a great game to just mindlessly play and enjoy, the levels bursting with aesthetic and are adventurous.

BUT
It is very hard to learn, as the tutorial doesn’t really explain your aim or how to get to it. 

Basically, you need to find and charge a “Spectra” with pollen. The spectra pulses and a large wave can be seen across the background every minute, which briefly tells you where to head for.

You then need to grow various plants by charging their seeds with pollen, so that you can jump across towards the spectra.

Controls are very well done and smooth, although a bit confusing to learn, again.
Flick the direction you want to jump and you’ll shoot there.

If you’re on a plant, you can spin around it in a circle to collect pollen using your silk string.

If you’re in mid air, you can hold down your finger to suck in some pollen. 

Generally, it’s a great game once you understand what to do. Tutorials need to be improved, and maybe rewards need to be a bit more generous, but other than that this game is great for a quick three-minute “give your mind a break”.

### 2/5 — What???

*2019-02-04, version 1.3.008*

I don’t understand the game, and I hate the 10 last second before it ending « so noisy” it stresses me!

### 2/5 — meh

*2019-02-03, version 1.3.008*

It has a good concept but the controls feel clunky and game will crash 9/10 when you load it. When it does load it usually lags pretty badly and I’m playing this on an iPhone 7

### 2/5 — Spectra not found

*2019-02-02, version 1.3.008*

Where are them?

### 3/5 — Cellular data?

*2018-11-06, version 1.3.008*

I tried running the app offline (with cellular data turned off and without WiFi connection) and the game won’t start up. Do I have to have cellular data on the entire time I play this game?

### 3/5 — Confused

*2018-08-30, version 1.3.008*

It’s a good game and all but it doesn’t actually tell you what the objective of the game is, it may have said once in the tutorial but I didn’t get it... I am confused.

### 3/5 — Fun except the frog levels

*2018-08-27, version 1.3.008*

Good game really fun except the frog levels they piss me off. You can’t find the thing no matter how far you go or how many portals you go through. So maybe change where it’s easier to find them. I haven’t passed one. So that’s pretty annoying.

### 1/5 — 意味わかんない。

*2019-08-29, version 1.3.013*

全然だめだった。

### 1/5 — The Ideo Grimp

*2019-08-22, version 1.3.013*

Ideo: what were you thinking? The only thing less forgivable then the obvious fact that this grimp’s “powers” weren’t playtested…is the inconceivable notion that they WERE playtested…and that someone thought they were a good idea.

### 1/5 — Good concept but...

*2019-02-04, version 1.3.008*

This game is good in its idea. As a little character jumping and swinging around collecting pollen to pass levels, it can be relaxing and fun.
But passing the first level is near impossible. It doesn’t have a clear path of where you’re actually supposed to go. “Seed is charged, jump in!”
Is the seed visible? No. Does it show you where the seed is? No. It took me a long time and I didn’t even find the seed. The levels have time limits.
Controls are iffy and difficult to understand, even with the tutorial.
I would have loved this game if it was less confusing and it had better instruction than what was provided.

### 1/5 — ÇOOOK KÖTÜ

*2019-02-02, version 1.3.008*

SAKIN İNDİRMEYİN YORULMAR MASUS YAZILMIŞ 😡😡😡😡👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻

### 1/5 — Camera? Really?

*2018-07-25, version 1.3.008*

What a way to drain battery for no reason. It adds little to the game, make it possible to turn it off. Otherwise, could be a great game but not going to continue with the camera active

### 1/5 — New!

*2018-06-06, version 1.3.004*

A new type of music game with fantastic visuals!

### 1/5 — PJ Eden is a classic, Obscura, not so much

*2018-06-02, version 1.3.003*

The touchscreen controls are a unintuitive mess.  Eden on PS3 is one of my all time favourite games.  I did seemingly random movements within the first tutorial without feeling like I had any real control of my grimp.  App deleted.

### 1/5 — Довольно примитивно

*2018-05-31, version 1.3.003*

Разработчики явно перехвалили свою игрушку. Ни красоты и особых эффектов. И музыка так себе. Играбельность близка к нулю.

### 1/5 — The game is an awesome throwback to the PS3 days, but...

*2018-05-30, version 1.3.003*

Why the hell does the game REQUIRE the camera permission to work?! Highly suspicious. I will update my review once the camera permission becomes optional...

Edit: Time has passed but the app still requires camera permission. Unacceptable.

### 1/5 — PRIVACY

*2018-05-22, version 1.3.000*

The camera is not even remotely useful to the game, and makes me think it’s collecting camera data. Also, you don’t need to collect data from my phone and send it back to you for “enhancing the experience of your game” or something. Stay out of my phone. Get rid of the data collecting and the mandatory camera usage and maybe I’ll be okay with this game- the controls and the gameplay are incredibly weird and hard to handle, there isn’t a UI on anything that would show you, for instance, how many jumps you had left or whatever I’m doing when the character spins and sparkles for a bit, then stops. The colors seem to overdo it a bit, and I would definitely darken your landscape to add contrast to the background- there was a couple of times when I tried to land on something that wasn’t there. It just looks like a ploy to collect data - make something just playable and recognizable enough for mobile to make it addicting to people so you can violate their privacy. I’ve deleted this game, and I will not be downloading it again until I see vast improvements.

*2025-10-19, version 1.3.018*

i love pixeljunk eden and this is nice to have when i have down time! eden’s controls work really well with the touchscreen, overall very fun

### 5/5 — Challenging and Fun

*2025-04-12, version 1.3.018*

The game is based off of a PS3 game and adapted for iPhone. The soundtrack is great, and the game is fun. The controls take getting used to. Just don’t take things too seriously, and you’ll have fun and enjoy the gameplay.

### 5/5 — ずっとやってられる❗

*2020-11-01, version 1.3.015*

とにかく背景は綺麗だし、やりやすい！今は、愛用しています😊

### 5/5 — Fantastic!!!!

*2020-07-18, version 1.3.015*

This game is so great.  It’s nostalgia of the other games made by Q. Pixel junk eden is one of my favorite games ever made, so a smart phone port makes me very happy.  Keep up the good work!

### 5/5 — good!

*2020-03-07, version 1.3.015*

ジャンルで言うとワイヤーアクションのアクションゲームで、懐かしいのだけど、独特な世界観と操作で新しく感じて不思議な魅力があるという感想です。音と生命の楽園というキャッチコピーがとても合っている。

### 5/5 — 🦵🏻🦵🏻

### 5/5 — Pixeljunk forever

*2018-08-24, version 1.3.008*

Tous les jeux pixeljunk ont une aura indéfinissable et cette variation d’eden semble en être également doté. De plus, pour le moment, pas d’immondes micro transactions à l’horizon.

### 5/5 — Have been waiting yey
