There are so many free games out there that it isn’t worth it to pay to continue ### 4/5 — Adventurous *2026-01-29, version 1.4.2* Great game with adventure through the forest . Good graphics, a map, hints , fun puzzles! Seems very easy to play . I probably should have picked the challenging selection but I love the game so far since it doesn’t seem like science fiction It’s a little more real life . I like that ! Thanks for a good game! ### 3/5 — Keine Famienfreigabe *2024-05-15* Das Spiel an sich ist sehr unterhaltsam, schön aufgebaut und hat wirklich großen Spaß gemacht. Problematisch finde ich , dass bei dem durchaus stolzen Preis es nicht in der Familienfreigabe freigeschalten ist. (Meine Tochter wollte es auch gerne auf ihrem iPad spielen.) Ergänzung 15.5.24: Vielen Dank für Ihren Dank - ich denke zwar, dass Ihre Äußerung, dass Sie mein Feedback berücksichtigen werden, eine Worthülse ist, aber die Hoffnung stirbt ja bekanntlich zuletzt. Freude an Ihren Spielen könnte ich theoretisch haben, doch in der Realität werde ich zukünftig nicht mehr 7,99 Euro dafür investieren, insbesondere nicht ohne Familienfreigabe. Wie ein anderer Rezensent bereits schrieb: Es gibt ebenso gute, günstigere Lösungen. **Developer response:** Vielen Dank für Ihr Feedback zu unserem Spiel! Wir verstehen jedoch Ihre Bedenken bezüglich des Preises und der Familienversion. Wir werden Ihr Feedback auf jeden Fall berücksichtigen und sehen, ob es Möglichkeiten gibt, dieses Problem in Zukunft zu lösen. Wir bedanken uns für Ihre Unterstützung und hoffen, dass Sie weiterhin Spaß an unserem Spiel haben werden 💖💖💖 ### 3/5 — I’m stuck *2024-03-23, version 1.1.3* I have just started playing this game. I’m at the point where the truck pulls the trailer that is stuck. I need change and bolts. I don’t know what to do. HELP. ### 3/5 — Short round *2024-03-11, version 1.1.3* Graphics are fine. But you only get 2 short levels before being asked to purchase I think you should get a little more before you can determine if you want to spend money. Just my opinion. ### 2/5 — Disappointed *2024-03-04, version 1.1.3* Thought this game was ok but to short for the cost of it and the Bonus Games are no good couldn’t get past a certain point just won’t work gets stuck on one scene it’s the worst Friendly Fox game I’ve bought ### 4/5 — Great but some glitches *2024-01-20, version 1.1.3* I like the story and it kept me going on but it seems like there are some glitches in finding hidden magical animals/ morphing objects & some of the mini games didn’t work. ### 2/5 — Disappointed. *2023-11-18, version 1.1.3* Paid the 7 dollars and the game was SO short. ### 2/5 — Terrible Storyline *2023-06-27, version 1.1.0* Game play is ok, very short game, didn’t buy the unlock. My biggest issue is the political storyline. Terrible. ### 4/5 — F2P *2023-06-08, version 1.1.0* I wish y’all had more f2p I finished all f2p and can’t afford to buy the other games ### 4/5 — 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 *2023-04-23, version 1.0.1* Good graphics and story, enjoyable game. 🫶🏼🥂 ### 3/5 — Demo only. Pay to play. *2023-02-15, version 1.0.1* Bleh… ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Not f2p *2026-02-05, version 1.4.2* You get to play a little bit of this and then you have to pay for the rest. Wil delete until it’s f2p. Apple: you really need to recategorize apps that require an in app purchase ### 1/5 — Wasn’t worth buying. 😭 *2025-04-28, version 1.1.3* Paid for the game because it was interesting and then not even 3 plays later I finished the game. It definitely wasn’t worth paying for. ### 1/5 — $6.99 *2024-08-31, version 1.1.3* Can’t get more than a third through the story without paying. ### 1/5 — That’s it? *2024-06-23, version 1.1.3* The game isn’t bad but I paid $10 for a game that I finished in a day. Pretty disappointed ### 1/5 — Just be open about this being a tiny taster of a game *2024-06-21, version 1.1.3* I would probably be fine with playing something tiny like this if I knew what it would be but it’s misleading to pretend it’s a free game when it’s really almost nothing. ### 1/5 — Learn to spell English *2024-01-27, version 1.1.3* Only played about 5 minutes because the number of word spelled incorrectly was too distracting. The English was atrocious. I would never allow my children to play a game that tries to give advice about animals in nature when they cannot spell correctly. In the few minutes I played, several words were incorrect such as “com pleated” ### 1/5 — It doesn't have the Spanish language *2024-01-10, version 1.1.3* Bueno pero no está en español ### 1/5 — Not worth £5.99 *2023-08-26, version 1.1.2* Absolutely no t worth it. No challenge. Nothing to the puzzles. Should be a freebie. ### 1/5 — Too many. Buy buy buy ads *2023-06-05, version 1.1.0* Adds up the ying yang ### 1/5 — WOW *2022-12-11, version 1.0.1* How do you download a game play for 5min and than it tells you, you have to pay to keep playing very deceitful. Unbelievable!!! Never heard of it! SAD!!! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great *2026-04-02, version 1.4.2* Great game ### 5/5 — Beautiful! *2024-11-03, version 1.1.3* This is not only a fun mystery game, but also a beautifully artistic game. In a world full of AI art and AI voices, I knew I had to purchase this game the minute I realize these were real life actors, and the creation of talented visual artists. Having conservation, stewardship, and adorable animals as themes didn’t hurt, either! ### 5/5 — Amazing long game *2024-05-18, version 1.1.3* I work so this took me a week to complete. Just an amazing game. Great art work. Great mini-games. Just a touch of magic, and not demonic. Good storyline. Good bonus game. Good HOPs. Yea, this is one of Friendly Foxes best if just for the length and the immersive gameplay. I also like their Bridge series a lot but I had to write a review for this. ### 5/5 — Worth it *2024-05-09, version 1.1.3* I’m having fun hehe ### 5/5 — Absolutely great *2024-04-20, version 1.1.3* I play many adventure games. This game certainly has beautiful graphics and storyline. I’m honest when it comes to writing reviews. I’m going to be sad.lol. when I have finished it. I Will definitely look for more games on your site.... ### 5/5 — Der Wald *2024-01-02* Endlich ein Spiel bei dem es um die Natur um Wald geht! Bitte mehr so Spiele! **Developer response:** Ihr positives Feedback ist unser wichtigster Erfolg. Danke, dass Sie sich für unser Spiel entschieden haben und Ihre Emotionen mit uns teilen. Wir werden weiter daran arbeiten, Sie glücklich zu machen! 🙂💖 ### 5/5 — Wonderfully conceived! *2023-12-13, version 1.1.3* Enjoyable and exciting game. Great story line and Animations! ### 5/5 — Great game! *2023-02-26, version 1.0.1* Very enjoyable and graphics are amazing. ### 5/5 — Great graphics *2023-02-07, version 1.0.1* Involving storyline. I’ve played these slightly out of order ; I found lost lands 8 first then played 1. Now that I’m near finished with 1 I’d like to add that I felt there were a great many “locations “ to go to in one , and seemingly less play time. This did pose a bit of a problem to my brain trying to remember where all the different places were I had to go back to (making a grid for LL2 for sure !!). Excellent start on what is obviously a wonderful run of games. Looking forward to the rest of the series ### 5/5 — Fun with a twist from most mystery type games! *2023-01-22, version 1.0.1* In this mystery n hidden object type of game u use puzzle screen clearing games to earn time to complete the needed repairs on the home and grounds! Maze work as well so it’s quite fun! It also is helpful for me in particular as I have a medical memory injury so this type of cognitive puzzle helps retain and even strengthen my memory while having fun! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
