### 4/5 — Simple Fun

*2017-07-18, version 11.0*

This app has a lot of good memories. Got it ages ago on my Ipod 4. It's nothing fancy, but it's simple fun you can play whenever. It's got fairly good replay value, as you can mess around with tnt physics, taunt mighty (albeit simple) dragons by trapping them in a tiny one block ditch, or, for a serious challenge, try launching them over the moon. Furthermore, you dont freaking wifi to play and its totally free. Worth a try I'd say.

Does crash occasionally, but that was years ago when i had that problem. Cant speak for modern version.

### 3/5 — Cool idea, poorly executed.

*2016-01-12, version 10.1*

I love the idea, and mechanics of this game, it's really great. However, I don't like how a lot of the difficulty of the game comes from controlling the character, it needs better controls. Also, it should explain the game a little better going in. For example, explain how to get stars, why you need/don't need them, and explain the rookery.

### 3/5 — Fairly good

*2015-09-13, version 10.1*

I have enjoyed this game, I think it's worth the money to pay for all levels. Just a couple of things:

-tilting the device to control the character is extremely annoying. Please change this to directional controls with buttons or something, I would give a 4-5 star review if this was changed
-I don't understand hatching the dragons, more instructions please!

### 5/5 — Dwarves...

*2015-05-08, version 10.1*

So at first this game looked cool until I played it. Turns out to be addicting and fun. You play as a dwarf(also REALLY cool) and you try to kill the dragon with tnt and mining. 10/10

### 4/5 — LOVE IT 97%

*2015-02-07, version 10.1*

Okay I'll start with the fact of that creepy yelling noise for the alert,SURE ALERTED ME! It alerted everyone in the house! Me My Sister My Brother My Mom And My Dad all Jumped at the sound!and secondly I would like to be able to create my own armor and weapons PIXEL-BY-PIXEL giving it more customization options. Thank you for reading my review  and two more suggestions,Me and my bros would like to be anything else than just a dwarf,and Minigames with your pet dragonsThank you :)

*2014-05-23, version 10.1*

Lacks polish, but this little game deserves a chance.

This game is fun

### 5/5 — Very fun

*2014-02-04, version 10.1*

When I get the money I'm buying the full version it's a very good game

### 5/5 — Fun game!

*2014-01-12, version 10.1*

It's really fun? It would be even better if you can put different controls like on screen controls. Anyways great game love it.

### 4/5 — Epic

*2014-01-09, version 10.1*

Best game ever it is complicated yet fun and simple to play

### 5/5 — Looking forward to play it ‼️‼️‼️‼️

*2014-01-08, version 10.1*

It's still downloading

### 4/5 — Cool Idea

*2013-10-06, version 10.1*

Its a pretty cool idea for a game to be honest, but I feel like theres a lot of different features that could be added on top of this.  I like it and all, but theres not much you can do with the dragons that you hatch and grow.  Its a fun game though and good for passing time. :)

### 1/5 — Poor Controls

*2022-06-13, version 11.0*

Concept is great, visuals are cute but controls are terrible. You can't edit them to fit to your playstyle too. So instead of playing the game, you fight against the controls. 
No movement with movement buttons, but crappy tilting is your movement. 
Everytime I have to jump, I don't want to click on that TINY dwarf on the screen, so instead of jumping I regularly blow myself with the dynamite. But game offers this as a challenge. So I rate this challenge with a 1 star sadly.

### 1/5 — Update

*2015-09-23, version 10.1*

I really like this game but it never gets updates

### 1/5 — A not very great game.

*2014-07-29, version 10.1*

This game I wouldn't consider calling it a good game, it really is easy and it kinda boring after 4 levels. It feels as if there could be more things added to this game. I noticed when you die there are two sounds that can play. When you die, you can hear the dragon roar, OR The noise you hear when you summon a boss in Terraria.

### 1/5 — Worst controls for a app yet

*2014-05-10, version 10.1*

The game has the worst controls and just makes it not fun to play

### 1/5 — Paid already

*2013-11-24, version 10.1*

I've bought this app already for 1.99 and now its telling me to buy it again. I ain't paying that much its not worth it. Please fix it and i will rAte higher

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2013-04-27, version 9.0*

There is no point or polish to this game, waste of time.

### 1/5 — TOO MUCH

*2013-03-14, version 9.0*

TOO MANY GLITCHES! It's fun but it needs to be updated

### 1/5 — You people font know what your takin about

*2011-08-18, version 5.0*

This game is so bad all it let's you do is destroy blocks do not buy

### 2/5 — Fine, and by fine i mean ok.

*2012-10-13, version 9.0*

This game is a lack of fun. Its ok but not the best! The controls get pretty annoying but its pretty good!
I usually play it. I think you should download it but be careful with your time!!!!!!!!
In my point of view this is my face when I want to do a level and have to " buy " it 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎. This because I luv the game so much but then relies you have to pay for it. Although download it it's great❕❕❕❕❕❕❕❕❕❕❕❕❕❕❕❕❕❕❕❕❕❕❕❕❕❕❕❕❕❕❕❕❕

### 2/5 — Needs more polish

*2012-08-04, version 9.0*

It may very well have great gameplay but I couldn't get far enough to see it. I either didn't do to where I was supposed to upon launch or the game just wasn't polished enough to hang on to me until I seen something more than a basically executed weird falling block sequence (in which I killed a dragon with funky rotational physics...)

### 5/5 — I bought an iPhone to play this again

*2023-04-02, version 11.0*

My favorite mobile game. First downloaded it on my iPod when I was around 8 and I'm 20 now. Switched from Android to iPhone this week to play again. Nostalgia got me acting financially unwise.

### 5/5 — Thank you

*2022-07-27, version 11.0*

Thank you for keeping this up

### 5/5 — Please update app

*2022-04-26, version 11.0*

I love this game, and it’s been my go to app for years when I’m bored and need something to play on the go. Apple is removing old apps that haven’t been updated for a while, so I wanted to ask that you push a simple update that would keep the game on the App Store. Thank you :)

### 5/5 — Dragon chees

*2021-04-13, version 11.0*

Big drip

### 5/5 — Yes. Dragon

*2019-07-01, version 11.0*

Dragon, yes. I like dragon.? Yes. Sir

### 5/5 — How is that game? (read this if you want the answer)

*2018-12-15, version 11.0*

Best game its so adventurous I recommend you to download it 😜👍

### 5/5 — Love it

*2018-07-02, version 11.0*

This game defines my childhood. Love that there’s still an active developer team!

### 5/5 — Only 1 thing...

*2017-02-05, version 10.1*

The only thing i really wanna see in this game is mini games to do with your dragons. It would be great to play with them and would improve this game amazingly! Thanks! Don't give up on this game!

### 5/5 — Needs a update

*2016-08-28, version 10.1*

Read the title

### 5/5 — 👍🏻

*2015-10-27, version 10.1*

I really love the little parts of this game the fact that you can breed and grow dragons is awesome, and how there is a sandbox mode is legit too. 
Although I think on screen controls would be nice but that's not a big deal.
