### 5/5 — Very well done game. One suggestion…

*2024-07-09*

Overall, great game. Graphics, new riddles, co-op gameplay, difficulty select, all of those are pretty great. I do suggest adding the spider riddle from the original movie, and making them weak to axes, also kind of like in the original. The riddle goes, “Need a hand? Why, you just wait. We’ll help you out, we each have eight.”

Amazing

### 4/5 — Great. game

*2023-02-22, version 0.0.30*

It’s a great game. Please if you could make the game longer. Some times I only get to roll 3 or 4 times and then the game is over. If there were more x spots on the board that you could go to, than that would be excellent! Thank you for making a fun game

### 3/5 — New level of boredom unlocked

*2023-02-12*

The most high production digital board game I’ve seen is a while is unfortunately also the most boring, mindless game I’ve ever played. I found myself pining for the single player game to end. It was excruciating. I did appreciate the team cooperation elements. And freeing each other repeatedly from vines, which got a bit old after a while. Ultimately deleted it after really trying to like it. Animations and feeling of anticipation were great. But the gameplay itself was slow, repetitive nonsense. And having to constantly swipe to the target for each card was the last straw for me. Too bad. Maybe by speeding up gameplay rhythm, adding a tap mechanic alternative to replace swiping, adding a rules sheet, and making the game more than some endless parlour trick mini game would help. The aesthetics are great. But not enough to keep me.
Not aimed at gamers but at kids I guess. 
Also confusing that, unlike their other titles, it’s not based on a physical board game. 
The existing physical Jumanji  board games are completely different. And universally panned.

### 5/5 — Snowpaw approved!

*2023-02-03, version 0.0.30*

Absolutely wonderful! FINALLY. A good Jumanji game, AND it has Van Pelt? Like the original, real, awesome handsome one? Yes please! The team is extremely receptive and takes customer feedback seriously, and they’re passionate about what they do. This freakin game saved my life while I was on a 6 hour flight, where normally I’d be feelin sick as a dog. 11/10 would download again. Until the day I’m somehow able to make my own Jumanji game, this is the best that there is, you can take The Paw’s word on it (that’s me) 😎🔥

**Developer response:** We strived to make the best digital adaptation of Jumanji possible, and it’s comments like this that make all the hard work worthwhile. We're delighted to have met your expectations!

### 5/5 — Gameplay idea!

*2022-09-01, version 0.0.29*

First of all I want to say that this is an amazing game and it scratches that jumanji itch that I have had for so long! I have been plying this since December of last year and it’s one of my favorite mobile games of all time. I do have a gameplay idea that may have been thrown around in the reviews, I just haven’t looked at all of them. One of the most terrifying events of the movie was knowing Allen was stuck in jumanji for 26 years. What if, now this is a big if. If there was a gameplay element where you got the “In the jungle you must wait, until the dice read five or eight” riddle. When that happens there is an animation of the player getting sucked into the jungle through the board game. That player would then be trapped there until the end of the game or someone rolled a 5 or 8. While in the jungle you were fighting off jungle animals the ENTIRE time until you can escape. It’s just an idea. If the developers read this, thank you for taking your time to read this, and the game is still awesome even if that feature does not get included. Excited for more updates!

**Developer response:** Hi! Thank you for your review. We really appreciate your feedback! It makes us really happy to hear that this is one of your favorite games. We often implement the features most requested by our players so please don't hesitate to send us an email to help@marmalademail.com should you have any more ideas about features you would like to see in the game!
