### 2/5 — Vollversion leider nicht verfügbar

*2021-08-22*

Mein Kind fand das Spiel gut und ich habe mich dazu entschieden die Vollversion zu kaufen. Das habe ich getan, aber es funktioniert trotzdem nicht. An der gleichen Stelle ist dann immer Schluss. Sehr schade.

### 5/5 — Beautiful simple toddler adventure

*2020-10-06*

Simple yet visually lovely children’s adventure. Probably not more than 15 minutes of play without repeating but nice enough for a 3 or 4 to be occupied in a gentle and stimulating way.
