### 1/5 — Great game!!!

*2026-08-18, version 1.9.2*

Ads are broken on the watch and spin. Watch the ad. Then spiny circle waiting, waiting, then nothing. Wants me to watch the ad again without spinning the wheel. Please fix!

### 3/5 — Used to be one of my favorite games

*2026-08-09, version 1.9.2*

I used to absolutely love this game and would play it forever on my kindle fire years ago. The music and art style are so nostalgic. Compared to other games, the art is cute and the icons and accessibility are not overstimulating. However like seen in some other reviews, it’s not really being updated anymore. Also the fighting mechanic makes no sense. A level 14 animal can easily be defeated by a level 1. There’s one or two buttons, depending on how many elements it is. Then you press them and you get a weak normal or critical attack. All do the same damage for every animal no matter the level. It’s just luck. And the waiting times take forever. I understand that rarer creatures take longer but I just started playing again after years and even the beginner creatures can take 12+ hours. Like bro this is only the 5th animal I got. Also the resources are hard to get. The art and music is cute but compared to other games it is not efficient. I understand it’s a children’s game but I’ve seen other childrens game with more complicated fighting systems - they’re not that stupid. Also if it is a kids game, no child is waiting 30 hours for their egg to hatch. Please update, if has the possibility to be better

### 5/5 — THE BEST GAME

*2026-08-04, version 1.9.2*

If you want something to feel like you are back with the dinosaur and all the stuff back then this is the game it has soooo much stuff to do and does not keep you bored🙂

### 3/5 — Love Collecting! But the Battles…

*2026-07-23, version 1.9.2*

First I want to thank whoever made this game where you can collect so many wonderful creatures!
I adore the collecting and it is a lot of fun! 
The only thing about the game is the battles. 

I feel like the battles are mostly or basically pointless

It’s like whenever I put my creature in to battle another creature it does not matter what the rarity or how strong  your animal is you still lose most of the time! 

It is like you take a turn but the other creature always hits back stronger or always does better than you no matter it’s level 
It is one thing if your animal is not an ultra rare or high rarity and stronger than the other creature. (The max lv. 15) 
But my lv. 10 Ultra rare Crystal Unicorn went up against a 
lv. 2 petite panda and LOST! 
It’s like the battle dynamics do not make sense 

I also wish there was a way to power up your creatures even more! All I can do is feed them and battle them. 

Finally I still have a hard time getting gems! Everything is so expensive I can hardly buy any creatures from the store with gems because I get one gem per person when my “neighbors” gift me. Or by doing quests and battles. Even then you still only get max 10 or less gems 
Sometimes 12 but that is rarer than a blue moon. 
Sure find more friends but  some of the animals are like 1,000,500,200,300 gems! 💎 
You have to buy the gems to succeed. 

Anyways this is a great game I love it!!

### 5/5 — I Am Having Trouble With The Game.

*2026-07-18, version 1.9.2*

I Need Help I Am Having Trouble With The Game Every Time I Win A Battle I Cannot Exit The Battle Thing. Something Is Wrong With This App 🤦🏽‍♀️.

### 4/5 — 4.9 stars - I enjoy it.

*2026-07-18, version 1.9.2*

It's fun progressing through the game, and collecting all of the cute, little creatures. So far, I haven't seen one I dislike. The art is very good.

However, I wish the ad button had a count-down timer for when you can watch more ads. It's really annoying not knowing.
And I wish new nests weren't so expensive. There's no way I'm paying real money for gems.. sorry.

### 3/5 — Good Game / A little unfair tho

*2026-07-12, version 1.9.2*

It’s a great game I love all the critters you can collect and breed !! But I’ve noticed when it comes to battles it’s a little unfair .. a level 10 common against a level 15 super rare (me) lost a battle with me landing 3 strong hits in a row ?? I was hoping there could be a way to make it a little easier or find a better way to make it more fair in fights !! It hasn’t happened once but multiple times .. kinda defeats the purpose of growing them !!

### 4/5 — The game is good. But…

*2026-07-09, version 1.9.2*

The game is due for a huge update. It’s good, but it’s due for a very huge update, it has a lot of bugs and it does glitch, it’s starting to kick me out of the game right away. But it’s good and it would be great with a good update and bug patches as well!

### 4/5 — Wonderful game but could use a few improvements

*2026-07-09, version 1.9.2*

I really enjoy the graphics and the idea of the game so I always come back to play the game. but the main reason I usually leave is because it’s very easy to get all the tasks done super fast and everything else like upgrades are super slow so it’s kinda one of those games where you would check on it every couple of days. 
And it is extremely hard to obtain free gems despite everything in the game store costing a ton load of them. 
So progressing in the game takes super long time and a ton load of patience.

Overall I think if they would just add a couple improvements and make the game a bit cheaper I think it would be a major success and I would definitely play more often.

### 5/5 — Fantasy forest story

*2026-07-02, version 1.9.2*

Awesome game
